For all other civil 4th sem bteup diploma syllabus 2017 you can visit Civil 4th Sem BTEUP Diploma Syllabus 2017 Subjects. The detail syllabus for soil mechanincs & found engg is as follows.

Rationale:

Supervision of earth work in the construction of dams,
road embankment, pavement and other Civil Engineering
structures, is one of the important functions of a civil
engineering technician. The analysis of these functions indicate that basic knowledge of soil mechanics, a modern subject in the field of civil engineering is essential for the engineers for the safe construction.
The topics will cover only elementary knowledge of the subject dealing with formation and properties of soil,
definitions etc, so that technician is able to identify
their common types, their selection and prope r use in the
field of engineering construction. Weight and volume
relationship. Index properties, grain size analysis and
classifcation, field identification, permeability shear
strength, compaction, consolidation, earth pressure, and
retaining structures. Shallow and deep foundat ions, bearing
capacity, sub-surface explorations are dealt with. Finally
to develop skills in identification of soil type suitaible
laboratory work with simple equipments is also suggested.
Teaching should cover the field practices where ever
applicable.
