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.

Learning Outcomes:

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

• Classify rocks and identify particular type of stones
• Classify different types of bricks and BLOCKS
• Perform laboratory tests of cement to determine properties of cement
• Identify types of defects of timber
• Select paints/varnishes for various types of surfaces
• Identify and use different types of metals/alloys
• Select different materials used for wall paneling and false ceiling, such PVC, POP etc.
• Select other materials commonly used for contemporary buildings.

PRACTICAL EXERCISES

1. To identify the stones used in building works by visual examination
2. To determine the crushing strength of bricks, CLC, AAC and Paver Blocks.
3. To determine the water absorption of bricks and efflorescence of bricks
4. To identify various types of timbers such as: Teak, Sal, Chir, Shisham, Deodar, Kail & Hollock by visual examination only
5. The students should submit a report work on the construction materials, covering water proofing material, cements, steel, paints and timber products available in the local market. They will also show the competitive study based upon the cost, brand name, sizes available in the local market.

Instructional Strategy:

Teachers are expected to physically show various materials while imparting instructions. Fieldvisits should also be organized to show manufacturing processes and use of various materials in Civil engineering works. Students should be encouraged to collect sample of various building materials so as to create a museum of materials in the polytechnic. The emphasis should be one selection and application of materials as per the need of environment.

Means of Assessment:

1. Assignments and quiz/class tests
2. Mid and end-term written tests
3. Model/prototype making.
