Civil Engineering Materials Sep 20, 2010 Civil Engineering Materials 3rd Semester 2010 ( 20 Sep 10 – 6 Jan 11) INTRODUCTION Presented by: Engr. Bilal Iftikhar Lab Engr. November 2, 2010 SWEDISH COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, WAH CANTT

What is Civil Engineering? Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design and construction of the physical and natural built environment, including works such as bridges, roads, canals, dams and buildings. Civil engineering is the oldest engineering

What is Civil Engineering? Civil Engineering is nothing but simple common sense – however – common sense is very uncommon

Science, Engineering, Technology Science deals with humans’ understanding of the real world about them – the inherent properties of space, matter, energy and their interactions. Engineering is the application of objective knowledge to creation of plans, designs and means for achieving desired objectives. Technology deals with tools and techniques for carrying out plans.

Sub-disciplines of Civil Engineering Environmental engineering Geotechnical engineering Structural engineering Transportation engineering Water resources engineering Materials engineering Coastal engineering Surveying Urban planning Construction engineering

Building Material Any material which is used for construction purpose is called as building material.

Construction Materials Building stones Bricks and clay products Cement concrete Timber and wood products Metals and alloys Paints, varnishes, distempers Asphalt, bitumen and tar Plastics and fibers Glass Asbestos, adhesives and abrasives

LIST OF PRACTICALS INTRODUCTION AND LAB LAYOUT TO TEST THE FINENESS OF CEMENT BY SEIVE ANALYSIS METHOD GRADATION OF FINE AGGREGATE BY SEIVE ANALYSIS METHOD GRADATION OF COURSE AGGREGATE BY SEIVE ANALYSIS METHOD TO CALCULATE THE INITIAL AND FINAL SETTING TIME AND CONSISTENCY OF CEMENT PASTE TO DETERMINE THE SLUMP OF CONCRETE BY SLUMP-TEST  TO DETERMINE THE COMPRESSIVE STRENGHT OF CEMENT  TO DETERMINE THE TENSILE STRENGHT OF CEMENT TO DETERMINE THE SOUNDNESS OF CEMENT

How to Prepare Practical Note Book

Structure of Experiment LHS Panel RHS Panel • Title • Utilization • Theory (Literature) • Apparatus • Procedure • Significance • Precautions Observations •Calculations •Equations •Graphs •Results •Conclusion •Remarks

TIPS Use lead pencil for LHS panels on note book • Use relevant literature • Well arranged your collected information • Note book should represent your own work • Adopt same style of writing, formatting and expressions through out the all experiments • Can paste relevant picture, figures, equations and graphs

TIPS Should submit your practical note book very next day of practical • Be careful about attendance and grading • There will be individual grading/marking for each experiment • Believe in neat, clean and your own work • You may be tested any time during experiment or after that in shape of oral viva

LAB LAYOUT LAB A room or building equipped for scientific experimentation or research. An academic period devoted to work or study in such a place. A place where drugs and chemicals are manufactured. A place for practice, observation, or testing.

LAYOUT The act or an instance of laying out. An arrangement or a plan, especially the schematic arrangement of machinery or areas
