Oral Examination:
The oral Examination shall be based upon the entire syllabus and the term work consisting of the assignments.
Term Work:
The term work shall comprise of neatly written report based on assignments. The term work shall cover the entire syllabus in such a way that the students would attempt conceptual theory part from each module. Further, groups of students (having maximum four students) shall be formed who shall analyse and design any three with different data from the following:
- Design of sand layout in soft compressible clay deposit for required (accelerated) rate of consolidation.
- Analysis of Horizontal or Vertical strip anchor by using Mononobe-Okabe Method to find the seismic capacity.
- Design of a reinforced earth retaining wall.
- Analysis and design of skirted stone columns.
Distribution of the Term Work Marks: The marks of the term work shall be judiciously awarded depending upon the quality of the term work. The final certification and acceptance of term work warrants the satisfactory and appropriate completion of the assignments. Final certification, acceptance of term work warrants a satisfactorily appropriate completion of assignments the minimum passing marks to be obtained by the students. The following weightage of marks shall be given for different components of the term work.
- Assignments: 10 Marks
- Report on Analysis and Design: 10 Marks
- Attendance: 5 Marks
Further, while giving weightage of marks on the attendance, the following guidelines should be resorted to:
- 75%-80%: 03 marks; 81%-90%: 04 marks; 91%-100%: 05 marks
