This Course for: Diploma in Engineering (5th Semester Civil)

AIMS
After completion of the course the students will be able to:
 Understand the construction process of arch and lintel.
 Understand the construction process of different types of floor.
 Understand the construction process of stairs.
 Understand the construction process of different types of roof.
 Understand the different finishing works in building.
 Understand the construction process of doors and windows.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
Arches; Lintels; Ground floors; Upper floors; Damp proofing; Termite treatment; Stairs; Roof; Pitched
roof; Plastering and pointing; Doors; Windows; Carpentry and joinery; Scaffolding; Form works, Pointing
& Varnishing, construction equipment, Building Services, Insulation, bridge/culverts and canals etc.

Rationale:
Construction process-I is the pre-requisite of Construction process-II. Civil Engineering diploma graduates have to supervise construction of various project works involving use of various construction work based on quality. It does have physical parts with which we can make an appropriate shelter, service for the client to use it. So, to know how to build a construction project, one must know about Concrete, its types, properties, use of concrete, brick masonry, block masonry, different type of partition wall, drywall etc. This set of knowledge and skill to gives confidence to understand and construct a project. The students should have requisite knowledge regarding characteristics, uses and availability of various building item of work for construction purposes. In addition, specifications of various materials should also be known (BNBC/PWD) for effective quality control. To perform above task, it is essential that students should have knowledge of various item of work like concrete, masonry, block masonry, partition wall etc., and their constructional details. Therefore, the subject of Construction Process-I is very important for Civil Engineering diploma Graduates.

AIMS:
• To enable to apply the knowledge of scientific principles to problems of mechanical nature.
• To develop an understanding of mechanical properties of materials.
• To assist in applying mathematical and geometrical calculations to the analysis of statically
determinate beams.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
Mechanical properties of material; Laws of forces; Moment; Friction; Centroid and centre of gravity;
Moment of inertia; Torsion on circular shaft; Shear force and bending moment.

1. Rationale: Hydrology is an extremely important field of study, dealing with one of the most valuable resources on Earth water. All aspects of the Earth's available water are studied by experts from many disciplines, from geologists to civil engineers, to obtain the information needed to manage this vital resource. Thus, considering the importance above mentioned, this discipline has been included in the diploma level as a subject to be graduate in the sector. The syllabus includes concept of engineering hydrology, hydrology cycle, hydrometeorology, introduction to precipitation, measurement of precipitation, analysis and interpretation of rainfall data, stream flow measurement, evaporation and evapotranspiration, infiltration, rainfall and runoff relationship, hydrograph analysis and flood routing modules/contents, blue economy and Delta plan in Bangladesh to be studied in the teaching learning process.

2. Learning outcome (Theoretical): After undergoing the subject, students will be able to

 State plasticity characteristics of soil.
 Define hydraulic properties of soil.
 Describe consolidation and compaction characteristics of soil.
 Define lateral earth pressure of soil.
 Describe subsurface investigation and method of sample collection.
 Calculate the bearing capacity of soil.

3. Learning outcome (Practical): After undergoing the subject, students will be able to

 Determine the water content of soil by oven drying method.
 Determine the specific gravity of soil by Pycnometer method.
 Determine the particle size of soil by sieve analysis method.
 Determine the liquid limit and plastic limit of soil.
 Perform the co-efficient of permeability of soil by constant head test.
 Determine the bearing capacity of soil from Standard Penetration Test (SPT).
 Perform standard proctor test of the soil.
 Perform unconfined compression test of the soil.
 Perform unit weight of soil by core cutter method.
 Perform unit weight of soil by sand replacement method.
