Lecture 158

In this course, students acquire knowledge and skills in planning and designing of economical and stable foundation of soils. It involves ground investigations (lab and field tests), providing solutions to difficult soils, prediction of structural behaviour loading the soil and construction aspects.                                                                                                                                                     Objectives:

This course deals with determination of quantities of Civil Engineering works and subsequently valuing them to determine project costs.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Objectives :

Environmental chemistry involves studying the fate and effects of chemicals species in the environment. It defines the intended use of analytical data, preparing sampling plans for intended use, selecting appropriate analytical methods, advising on collection of field samples, interpreting laboratory analytical results, and assuring validity and legal defensibility of analytical results. It also involves evaluation of organic and inorganic chemical reactions as well as physical processes such as volatilization, cosolvency effects, and soil adsorption.

This course is intended to make students appreciate the availability of water, its current use and the challenges; climate change; introductory water resources planning; meteorology; the hydrological cycle and processes of precipitation, surface runoff, infiltration, interception, depression storage, evapo-transpiration; their estimation and analysis.

This course introduces students to aspects conceptualization, planning, designing, supervision and maintenance of roads. The students requires to have skills and knowledge about road construction materials, mixture design and structural design aspects for flexible and rigid pavements, drainage and maintenance using machine and labour based methods.                                                                                                                                                                           Objectives:

The course deals with design principles of concrete structural components that are used in Civil Engineering infrastructure under different possible modes of loading.                                                                                                                                                                         Objectives:

Organisation theory is a fundamental subject within modern managerial education. The purpose of the course is to present the fundamental concepts of the organisation theory. Introduction to various approaches to an organisation must teach the students to complete macro- and micro-analysis of organisations in the context of their development and interaction with the environment.

The Course of Economics for Civil Engineering introduces students to economics principles and methods which will enable them to understand the socio-economic environment. This course emphasizes the application of basic Microeconomic concepts to current economic events.

Whereas the previous surveying course (CIV2103) was oriented to basics and site surveying, this course is oriented to route surveying. It also includes a number of advanced concepts in surveying.                                                                                                                                                                                      Objectives:
