Site Visit/ Field Visit:
The students shall visit the site where the construction of bridge structure using pre-stressed concrete is going on. The students shall prepare the detailed report thereof and submit as a part of the term work.
Oral Examination:
The oral Examination shall be based upon the entire syllabus, term work and site/field visit.
Term Work:
The termwork shall comprise of the neatly written assignments. The assignments shall be given covering the entire syllabus. There shall be minimum four problems for design of roadway bridges and one railway bridge. Presentation on any emerging trend in bridges, its design, methods of erection and construction, types of foundations and bearings etc relevant to syllabus. Distribution of 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 the acceptance of the term-work warrants the satisfactory and the appropriate completion of the assignments; and further, minimum passing marks to be obtained by the students. The following weightage of marks shall be given for different components of the term work.
