DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL

B.E – CIVIL ENGINEERING

The Civil Engineering being the oldest branch is considered to be the most versatile branch among all the engineering branches. Civil Engineering is a Professional Engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction and maintenance of structures that are in sync with the environment a few to name bridges, roads, canals, dams and buildings. It has got a lot of sub-divisions like Geotechnical Engineering, Structural Engineering, Environmental Science, Transportation, Hydrology and Construction Engineering, etc.

The Department of Civil Engineering was established in the year 2010-2011 with an intake of 60 students. This institution is affiliated with Anna University, Chennai. The department has been imparting quality education keeping in mind the recent technological advancement and the industrial requirements. This has been made possible due to qualified and dedicated faculty with rich experience in the diversified streams of Civil Engineering. The department is fully equipped with laboratories and it aims to enrich the student’s knowledge both in theory and practical application of the instruments.

We regularly arrange field visits for students to observe the real life scenario of various activities of Civil Engineering. We invite experts from reputed institutions and organizations to share their knowledge and experience with Civil Engineering students to motivate and enlighten them. Students are encouraged to actively participate in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities in reputed institutions all over Tamilnadu. We have plans to conduct certified value added training programmes on Total Station, GPS and software like StaadPro and Revit.

The department have actively involved in various research activities and industrial consultancy works with firms and industries in and around Palani.

VISION

To be an ideal knowledge resource centre in providing quality education and introduce to advanced technologies in the arena of Civil Engineering and to produce professionally competent Civil Engineers with right attitude towards social responsibility that will help to tackle the growing infrastructure needs of the country.

MISSION

To educate students with a thorough knowledge in civil engineering fundamentals, the design aspects and their applications and prepare them as professionals for the real world challenges using innovative techniques.
To make the Department a centre of excellence in the field of Civil Engineering, motivate the students for higher education and guide them for research in their area of interest.
To implement more consultancy services to the community in all areas of Civil Engineering.

List of Laboratories :

Survey Laboratory

     Surveying is the primary work done in any construction projects. This lab possesses traditional and modern surveying instruments. The students are trained to measure and record the details of an area of a land, the relative positions of the natural and man-made features on the earth’s surface and presenting the information either graphically or numerically.

   The list of available equipment’s are – Electronic Total Station, Theodolite, Dumpy Level, Plain Table, Pocket Stereoscope, Prismatic Compass, Surveyor Compass, Cross Staff, Chain, Tape, Ranging Rod, Levelling Staff and GPS.

Strength Of Materials Laboratory

   The quality of building materials is tested under environment as per Bureau of Indian Standard. The students are trained to apply loads to various construction materials under different equilibrium conditions. Tests on materials in compression, tension, torsion, bending, and buckling are performed. These conditions and/or constraints are designed to reinforce classroom theory by having the student perform required tests, analyse subsequent data, and present the results in a professionally prepared report

   The list of available equipment’s are – Universal Testing Machine, Torsion Testing Machine, Spring Testing Machine, Rockwell and Brinnel Hardness Testing Machine, Impact Testing Machine, Beam Deflection Apparatus, Le Chatelier apparatus, Vicat Apparatus, Metallurgical Microscope, Dial Gauges and Extensometer

Hydraulic Engineering Laboratory

   Student will be able to verify the principles and theory studied in Fluid Mechanics and Applied Hydraulic Engineering by conducting experiments

   The list of available equipment’s are – Bernoulli’s Theorem, Open Channel Flow, Venturimeter & Orifice Meter, Reciprocating Pump, Centrifugal pump, Pelton Wheel Turbine, Francis Turbine, Kaplan Turbine, Pitot Tube, Impulse Turbine, Meta Centric Height, Orifice and Mouth Piece Apparatus, Hydraulic Flume

Cad Laboratory

   Computer Aided Design Lab has thirty five systems exclusively installed with AutoCAD and Structural Analysis and Design STAAD.Pro Software’s Students are introduced to draft the plan, elevation and sectional views of buildings in accordance with development control rules satisfying orientation and functional requirements as per National Building Code. Students acquire hands on experience in design and preparation of structural drawings for concrete / steel structures normally encountered in Civil Engineering practice.

Soil Mechanics Laboratory

   Students will be able to apply the theory and principles learnt in Soil Mechanics theory subject. The students study the physical properties and engineering behaviour of soils through field and laboratory test methods according to the Indian Standards. The behaviour of soil under different loading conditions is necessary for the safe design of structures. The report from this lab is mandatory for the design of relevant foundation or structure.

   The list of available equipment’s are – Set of Sieves, Liquid and Plastic Limit Apparatus, Shrinkage Limit Apparatus, Hydrometer, Proctor Compaction, Pycnometer, Tri-axial Shear, Three Gang Consolidation, Direct Shear, Field Density Measuring Device, UTM and Thermometer.

Concrete And Highway Engineering Laboratory

   Students apply the principles and procedures of testing the materials used for concrete and highway construction that were learnt in Construction Materials and Highway Engineering theory subjects. Also, the students learn the quality control to be maintained while preparing concrete as per IS Code. The list of available equipment’s are – UTM, Compression Testing Machine, Marshall Stability, Vee Bee Consistometer, Ductility Testing Machine, Flexural Testing Machine, Flow table, Compaction factor Test, Concrete Mixture, Hot Air Oven, Centrifuge Extractor, Los Angeles Abrasion Testing Machine, Slum Cone, Aggregate Impact Testing Machine and Electronic Weighing Machine

Environmental Engineering Laboratory

   Students apply the principles learnt during the Environmental Engineering theory paper. The student will understand the sampling and preservation methods and significance of characterization of wastewater.

   The list of available equipment’s are – Digital pH Meter, Turbidity Meter, Chlorine Comparator, Muffle Furnace, Water Bath, Magnetic Stirrer With Hot Plates, Jar Test Apparatus, Conductivity Meter, Kjeldane Apparatus, Desiccators, BOD and COD Analyser, Digital Spectrophotometer & Refrigerator.
