WORKSHOP CIVIL ENGINEERING 1 YEAR SYLLABUS 2016 FOR KTU B-TECH S1 S2 STUDENTS

Here is the Modified 2016 KTU Syllabus for B-TECH KTU STUDENTS. 

KTU First year B.tech Syllabus for WORKSHOP CIVIL ENGINEERING.

WORKSHOP CIVIL ENGINEERING

List Of Exercises / Experiments (Minimum Of 8 Mandatory)

* Setting out of a building: The student should set out a building (single room only) as per the given building plan using tape only. 

* Setting out of a building: The student should set out a building (single room only) as per the given building plan using tape and cross staff.

* Construct a wall of height 50 cm and wall thickness 1½ bricks using English bond (No mortar required) - corner portion – length of side walls 60 cm.

* Construct a wall of height 50 cm and wall thickness 2 bricks using English bond (No mortar required) - corner portion – length of side walls 60 cm.

* Compute the area and/or volume of various features of a building/structure such as door and window size, number of bricks required to construct a wall of a building, diameter of bars used in windows etc. To create an awareness of measurements and units (use tape or other simple measuring instruments like vernier caliper, screw gauge etc.).

* Testing of building materials: The student should do the compression testing of any three construction materials and compare the strength (brick, hollow block, laterite block, cement concrete cube, stone block, and so on).

* Computation of Centre of gravity and Moment of inertia of a given rolled steel section by actual measurements. Introduction to simple plumbing and sanitary fittings. 

Assignment

* Home assignment 1: Preparation of a building model - The students in batches should prepare and submit a building model for a given plinth area in a given site plan constrained by a boundary wall. The minimum requirements of a residential building viz., drawing cum dining room, one bed room and a kitchen should be included. The concept of an energy efficient building should also be included in the model. 

* Home assignment 2: Report preparation -The student should collect the construction details of any one unique Civil Engineering structure, prepare and submit a detailed report with neat illustrations. 

* Home assignment 3: Report preparation - The students should collect samples of building materials, prepare and submit a detailed report including their market rates.

(For braches other than Civil Engineering) 

* Setting out of a building: The student should set out a building (single room only) as per the given building plan using tape only. 

* Setting out of a building: The student should set out a building (single room only) as per the given building plan using tape and cross staff. 

* Building area computation: The student should prepare a rough sketch of a given single storeyed building and by taking linear measurements compute plinth area and carpet area of the given building. 

* Construct a wall of atleast a height of 500mm and wall thickness 1brick using English bond (No mortar required) - corner portion – length of side walls at least 600mm. 

* Compute the area and/or volume of various features of a building/structure such as door and window size, number of bricks required to construct a wall of a building, diameter of bars used in windows etc. – To create an awareness of measurements and units (use tape or other simple measuring instruments like vernier calipers, screw gauge etc.). 

* Horizontal measurements: Find the area of an irregular polygon set out on the field. Vertical measurements: Find the level difference between any two points. 

* Computation of Centre of gravity and Moment of inertia of a given rolled steel section by sketching and measurements.
