| Contents |
Introduction to Civil Engineering: This section typically covers the role of civil engineers in society, the importance of infrastructure development, and an overview of the various sub-disciplines within civil engineering (e.g., structural, geotechnical, transportation, environmental, water resources, construction technology).<br/><br/>Civil Engineering Materials: This is a significant part, detailing properties, uses, and classifications of common construction materials like:<br/>Bricks<br/>Stones<br/>Cement and Cement Concrete<br/>Steel sections<br/>Wood<br/>Plastics<br/>Modern building materials<br/><br/>Basic Mechanics/Strength of Materials: Concepts like simple stresses and strains, elasticity, Hooke's Law, Young's Modulus, shear modulus, bulk modulus, Poisson's ratio, and the factor of safety. It also covers geometric properties of sections, including center of gravity and moment of inertia.<br/><br/>Buildings:<br/>Classification and components of buildings.<br/>Building bylaws and orientation.<br/>Substructure (foundations): types of foundations (e.g., shallow, deep, pile, caisson), selection of site, loads on foundations, and failure mechanisms.<br/>Superstructure: detailing various elements like brick masonry, stone masonry, RCC structural members (beams, columns, lintels), roofing, flooring, damp-proofing, and plastering.<br/>Interior Design and Landscaping: This edition specifically includes new sections on these topics.<br/><br/>Transportation Engineering:<br/>Importance of transportation.<br/>Types of highway pavements (flexible and rigid).<br/>Basics of railway engineering (components of a railway track, points and crossings).<br/>Introduction to airports, harbors, and tunnels.<br/><br/>Water Resources Engineering:<br/>Sources and quality of water.<br/>Rainwater harvesting.<br/>Water storage and conveyance structures (introduction to dams and reservoirs).<br/><br/>Environmental Engineering:<br/>Introduction to hydrology.<br/>Water supply systems, water disinfection.<br/>Sewage treatment (sanitary engineering), including septic tanks and oxidation ponds.<br/>Solid waste management.<br/>Plumbing.<br/><br/>Surveying:<br/>Objectives, principles, and types of surveying.<br/>Measurement of distances and angles.<br/>Leveling and contour mapping.<br/>Instruments used in surveying (e.g., chain, compass, theodolite). |
