Rationale:
Civil Engineering diploma holders have to supervise construction of various types of civil works involving use of various materials like stones, bricks and tiles, cement and cement based products, lime, timber and wood based products, paints and varnishes metals and other miscellaneous materials. The students should have requisite knowledge regarding characteristics, uses and availability of various building materials and skills in conducting tests to determine suitability of materials for various construction purposes. In addition specifications of various materials should also be known (PWD/BIS) for effective quality control.
To perform above task, it is essential that students should have knowledge of various sub components of buildings like foundations, walls, roofs, stair cases, floors etc., and their constructional details. Therefore, the subject of Construction Materials and Construction Practice is very important for Civil Engineering diploma holders.
Objectives:
On completion of the course, the student will be familiar to:
- State different construction materials and their properties.
- Explain different types of cement, grades of cements and tests on cement.
- State and explain different types of modern building materials such as ceramic products, glass, metals and plastics.
- Explain method of preparation of mortar and cement concrete.
- State the different types of structures.
- Describe the different types of foundations.
- Describe the classification of stone masonry & brick masonry.
- State the different types of doors, windows, lintels & stairs.
- Describe the types of floors and roofs.
- Describe the different methods of pointing, plastering and termite proofing.
- Explain the methods of scaffolding, shoring & underpinning and form work.
- Describe procedure of colour washing , white washing , painting and varnishing.
