Civil Engineering

This Civil Engineering Department is designed to meet the needs of the increased activity in the field of construction and renewed interest in infrastructure development. Geo Technical Engg., Irrigation & Environmental Engg. are part of the curriculum offered. By the time students complete this course they will be fully trained to design State of the Art structures, study irrigation problems, handling of waste management, environment problems, water resources etc.

Laboratories
Fluid Mechanics
Fluids are a key element of study for many engineering disciplines. Fluid Mechanics incorporates the study of all types of fluids under static, kinematic & dynamic conditions. The fluid Mechanics laboratory objective is to provide engineering practical training through verification of scientific theorems, related to fluid in general & water in particular that support the theoretical parts of related course .This Laboratory offers equipments for experimenting with and analyzing water behaviors.

Solid Mechanics
In day to day work, an engineer comes across certain materials i.e. steel girder, angle iron, circular bars, cements etc. which are used in various civil engineering projects. While selecting a suitable material, for the project, an engineer is always interested to know its strength. The strength of material may be defined as ability, to resist its failure and behavior under the action of applied forces. It has been observed that, under the action of the forces, the material is first deformed and then its failure takes place. A detailed study of forces and their effects, along with some suitable protective measures for safe working.

Survey Lab
Surveying is the art of determining relative positions of objects on the surface of earth by taking measurements in the horizontal & vertical plane. The main objective of surveying is to obtain a map or a plan of area surveyed . The success of any engineering project is based upon the accurate & complete survey work.

The survey lab is fully equipped with all the major & modern equipments used for modern surveying techniques. The major instruments like auto level, dumpy level, theodolite, prismatic compass, plane table, tangent clinometers, ghat tracer, telescopic alidade, survey scales etc. are used by the students for both plane & geodetic surveying.

Structural Analysis
It consists of the apparatus like Unsymmetrical Bending Apparatus, Portal Frame Apparatus,Pin Connected Truss,Three Hinged Arch,Two Hinged Arch,Elastically Coupled Beam Apparatus,Redundant Joint Apparatus Columns and Struts Apparatus,Clark Maxwell’s Reciprocal Theorem Apparatus,Deflection of Curved Beam Apparatus,Stiff Jointed Truss
