CE – 103 Introduction to Civil Engineering Instructors: Prof Nagendra R Velaga Prof Albert Thomas and Prof M. K Gupta  Course content Theory sessions: What is Civil Engg; developments in Civil Engg. Why Civil Engineers are important to nation Is civil Engg interdisciplinary Major streams in Civil Engg Difference between Civil and other Engg specializations Building planning Surveying in Civil Engg Transportation systems in Civilian life Construction materials and characteristics Structural Engg Water in Civilian life Soil and foundation Construction and project management GIS in Civil engineering Infrastructure economics Sustainability, Advances in Civil Engg and Interdisciplinary research  Course content Practical sessions: Interactive session with Faculty (there will be more interaction) Drawing a dream house Development of a bridge model Visit to campus construction (based on permissions) Demonstration of infrastructure failures Visit to Civil Engg Labs (Based on permissions) Documentary on Civil Engg iconic infrastructure Guest lecture Interaction with domain experts (National/International). Project planning and control Hands on training on project planning Documentary/poster session/course project /presentation  Difference between Civil and other Engg specializations History Science & Engineering  Major streams in Civil Engg Transportation Engineering Geotechnical Engineering Water resource Engineering Structural Engineering Environmental Engineering Construction planning, technology and management Surveying and Remote sensing Other streams: Ocean Engineering, Geology, etc.  Transportation Engineering “Transportation engineering is the application of technology and scientific principles to the planning, functional design, operation and management of facilities for any mode of transportation in order to provide for the safe, efficient, rapid, comfortable, convenient, economical, and environmentally compatible movement of people and goods.” Basic Modes of Transport (1) Land-ways Highways (Flexible pavement and rigid Pavement) Railways (Surface, Underground, Elevated, High Speed rial (HSR)) (2) Airways (3) Waterways  Geotechnical Engineering Geotechnical Engineering concerned with the Engineering behaviour of Earth’s material. Deals with physical, mechanical, chemical properties of the soil. Geotechnical engineering also includes study of landslides, sinkholes, soil liquefaction, rock falls, etc. All the civil Engineering structures (such as bridges, dams, buildings, tunnels, canals Geotechnical founded on or in the surface of the Earth) Engineering Foundation Engineering Examples of foundation systems Examples of shallow foundation  Water resource Engineering Hydraulics and Water Resources Engineering studies the flow and movement of fluids such as water and hydraulic cycle. Water Resources Engineers deal with design, construction and maintenance of dams, canals, other irrigation structures, etc.. Hydraulics Water resource engineering Irrigation  Structural Engineering Structural Engineers deals with analysis and design of structures that resist loads. Engineering mechanics Strength of materials Structural analysis Design of RCC structures Design of steel structures Advanced design course  Environmental Engineering “Application of science and engineering principles to improve the natural environment” It involves pollution control, waste disposal, water treatment, solid waste disposal and treatment, etc.  Construction planning, technology and management “It involves the choice of technology, the definition of work tasks, the estimation of the required resources and durations for individual tasks, and the identification of any interactions among the different work tasks.” PERT (Program evaluation review technique) and CPM (Critical path method) are normally used for construction management. Surveying and Remote sensing “Surveyingis the technique of determining the relative position of different features on, above or beneath the surface of the earth by means of direct or indirect measurements” “Remote sensing is the process of detecting and monitoring the physical characteristics of an area by measuring its reflected and emitted radiation at a distance” Class Participation (CP-1) (Q1) Define Transportation Engineering and write three basic modes of transportation. Transportation engineering is the application of technology and scientific principles to the planning, functional design, operation and management of facilities for any mode of transportation in order to provide for the safe, efficient, rapid, comfortable, convenient, economical, and environmentally compatible movement of people and goods Basic modes: (1)Land ways (Highways, railways) (2)Water ways (3)Airways (Q2) List four shallow foundations and draw picture of a Raft foundation. 1. Spread footing 2. Combined footing 3. Raft foundation 4. Wall foundation  (Q3) What is a dam Dam is a civil engineering structure constructed to restrict or stop flow of surface in rivers or water streams. Normally, reservoirs are crated by constructing dams. (Q4) List names of four loads that we consider in structural design? 1. Dead load 2. Live load 3. Wind load 4. Snow load 5. Seismic load (Q5) What is the full form of PERT and CPM PERT: Program Evaluation Review Technique CPM: Critical Path Method Demonstration of Drafter https://edengdrawing.blogspot.com/ https://edengdrawing.blogspot.com/ Thank you
