Civil Workshop

Civil Engineering Workshop enables the students to get a practical idea of the various theories and concepts introduced in first year of Engineering Studies. It is offered in Semesters I and II to students of all specializations. The course includes the conduct of experiments on Field Area Calculation, Volume Computation and Levelling problems.

LIST OF EXPERIMENTS - CIVIL WORKSHOP

  • Calculate the area of a built-up space and a small parcel of land- Use standard measuring tape and digital distance measuring devices .
  • Use screw gauge and vernier calliper to measure the diameter of a steel rod and thickness of a flat bar 
  • Transfer the level from one point to another using a water level .
  • Set out a one room building as per the given building plan and measuring tape. 
  • Set out a one room building as per the given building plan using tape and cross staff.
  • Building area computation : Compute the plinth area and carpet area of the given single storeyed building and by taking linear measurements. 
  • Horizontal Measurements: Find the area of an irregular polygon set out on the field.
  • Vertical Measurements: Find the level difference between any two points using dumpy level 
  • Construct  1 ½  thick brick wall of 50 cm height and 60 cm length using English bond. Use spirit level to assess the tilt of walls. 
  • Estimation of  different types of building blocks to construct a wall. 
  • Introduction of  plumbing tools, different types of pipes, type of connections, traps, valves , fixtures and sanitary fittings.
  • Compute the area /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 bar used in windows etc.
  • Testing of building materials : compression testing of any three construction materials and compare the strength (brick, hollow brick, 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.
