1960 engineering sylllabus

CIVIL ENGINEERING I

Introduction to the design, constructioil and maintenance of roads,

streets and airports, including:

Road location, grades, curves, traffic-lanes, sight distances, drainage.

Production, properties, testing and uses of soils, crushed rock materials,

gravels and bituminous materials.

Methods and machinery for excavation, quarrying, earthmoving, stabilization,

pavement construction, road surfacing.

Traffic engineering, transportation engineering, airport engineering, road

maintenance, street cleaning, refuse disposal.

CIVIL ENGINEERING I1

This subject deals exclusively with the broad field of structural engineering

with particular emphasis on design. Both superstructures and substructures

are treated in some detsil.

CIVIL ENGINEERING DESIGN I

Introduces students to the general concept of Civil Engineering design

per media of simple designs embracing steel, concrete and timber. Every

endeavour is made to relate the techniques developed to the procedures

adopted in practice.

The requisite drawings are made for the design projects covered. Design

is given a much greater emphasis than the drawing work involved.

CIVIL ENGINEERING DESIGN I1

Projects in many fields of Civil Engine~ring are carried out. The student

is given every opportunity to express his own ideas in readiness for the

problems encouiltered in his profzssio'n. All work done is considered in

assessing the progress of the student.

CONCRETE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

1. Reinforced concrete materials.

2. Mix design.

3. General design criteria including function and flexibility requirements

of structures. Loading, fire rating, spans-precast, prestressed, in situ.

4. Resumt of basic concepts.

5. Design and Construction. Flat slabs, pile caps, combined footings,

etc. Sections 1 and 2 will include practical work
