Rationale:

Diploma holders in Civil Engineering are supposed to effectively supervise construction of buildings. Effective supervision is essential to obtain/provide a fault free service from contractors to users. To perform above task, it is essential that students should have knowledge of various sub components of buildings like foundations, walls, roofs, staircases, floors etc., and their constructional details as well as preventive, remedial and corrective methods of common construction faults. Therefore, the subject of Building Construction is very important for Civil Engineering diploma holders.

Learning Outcomes:

After undergoing the subject, the students will be able to:

• define the different components and classification of building
• select a foundation for particular type of building
• explain different types of walls, scaffolding, shoring, underpinning and their constructional methodology
• carry out the construction of brick wall.
• supervise rubble and ashlar types of stone masonry construction
• demonstrate the construction details of lintels and arches at appropriate level in building
• select different types of doors, windows, floors and stairs cases in building
• recognize different parts of roof trusses and drainage system of roofs
• identify and select application procedure for different types of surfaces finishes in building i.e. plastering, pointing, painting, white washing and distempering
• evaluate the possible reason of dampness at various level in building and remedial means
• demonstrate how to carry out different types of possible anti termite treatments in building
• know about environmental friendly building and energy efficient building.
• list relevant IS codes.

Instructional Strategy:

While imparting instructions in this subject, teachers are expected to take students to work site and explain constructional process and special details for various sub-components of a buildings. It is also important to make use of audio visual aids/video films (if available) to show specialized operations. The practical work should be given due importance and efforts should be made that each student should perform practical work independently. For carrying out practical works, polytechnics should have construction yard where enough raw materials is made available for students to perform practical work

Means of Assessment:

1. Assignments and quiz/class tests
2. Mid-term and end-term written tests
3. Presentation
4. Actual Practical Performance
5. Report writing
6. Viva-voce
7. Repair work
