Rationale:

One of the major concerns of a civil engineer is to take care of the building works, already constructed, in order to keep these buildings in utmost workable conditions. Usually it is being felt that the buildings deteriorate faster for want of care and proper maintenance. The buildings usually have a shabby appearance due to cracks, leakage from the roofs and sanitary/water supply fittings. Thus the need for teaching the subject in proper perspective has arisen making students aware of importance of maintenance of buildings.

Learning Outcomes:

After undergoing the subject, students will be able to:

  • State various factors causing deterioration to buildings
  • Investigate/diagnose various defects in buildings
  • Explain main causes of defects in buildings
  • Select the materials for repair and maintenance of buildings
  • Carry out repairs for various types of building defects
