Description
Stress distribution in soils, Boussinesq
method (elastic theory), methods using
tables, graphs and charts. Compressibility
and consolidation of soils, one-dimensional
consolidation theory and characteristics,
consolidation tests, estimation of the
magnitude and rate of consolidation
settlement. Shear strength of soils, shear
strength characteristics, types of shear
strength tests, residual shear strength. Slope

This course is geared towards the application
of hydraulics. It starts with the development
of the boundary layer in laminar and turbulent
flows. It moves to the study of unsteady flows
in pipelines and analysis. The phenomenon
of sediment transport is discussed followed
by the wave theory-classification and
application.
Finally,
the
concept
of
computational hydraulics is introduced.

This course requires students to undertake a
research project on a chosen topic in Civil
Engineering under the supervision of an
academic staff. Research can be conducted
in the form of literature review, experimental
study, modelling, simulation, computational,
case study, survey, etc. Research findings
should be reported in the form of introduction,
objectives of research, scope of study,
literature review, research methodology, data
collection/experimental work, data analysis,
results and discussions, conclusions and
recommendations,
and
references.
A
scientific report in the form of a thesis should
be submitted at the end of the research and
the student is required to communicate the
findings of the research through an oral
presentation.
Projects covering the different options in civil
or environmental engineering and selected
according to emphasis areas of each student
when registering for course eg. road design,
water supply system, etc. Actual projects are
used which are obtained from government
agencies, consulting firms, and other
sources. When possible, engineers engaged
in professional practice are involved as
consultants or clients
