Compiled by www.studyeasy.inUnit-ICIVIL ENGINEERING – BUILDING THE FUTUREByProf. P. Nanjundaswamy, SJCE, MysoreCivil engineers have one of the world's most important jobs: they build our quality of life.With creativity and technical skill, civil engineers plan, design, construct and operate thefacilities essential to modern life, ranging from bridges and highway systems to watertreatment plants and energy efficient buildings. Civil engineers are problem solvers,meeting the challenges of pollution, traffic congestion, drinking water and energy needs,urban development and community planning.easy.inDuring the past century, clean water supplies have extended general life expectancies.Transportation systems serve as an economic and social engine. New bridges, blendingstrength and beauty, speed transport and bring communities closer together. Public andprivate construction, for which engineers provide the essential underpinnings of designand project oversight, produces hundreds of thousands of jobs and drives communitydevelopment. From the functional and beautiful Golden Gate Bridge in the UnitedStates, Petronas Towers in Malaysia, and Pont du Gard in France to the largely hiddenwater supply and sanitary sewer systems, civil engineers have made their mark in manyaspects of the daily life of essentially everyone around the globe.studyThe American Society of Civil Engineers defines civil engineering as “ the professionin which a knowledge of the mathematical and physical sciences gained by study,experience, and practice is applied with judgment to develop ways to utilize,economically, the materials and forces of nature for the progressive well-being ofhumanity in creating, improving and protecting the environment, in providing facilities forcommunity living, industry and transportation, and in providing structures for the use ofhumanity.”Entrusted by society to create a sustainable world and enhance the global quality of life,civil engineers serve competently, collaboratively, and ethically as master: Planners, designers, constructors, and operators of society’s economic andsocial engine – the built environment Stewards of the natural environment and its resources Innovators and integrators of ideas and technology across the public, private,and academic sectors Managers of risk and uncertainty caused by natural events, accidents, and otherthreats and Leaders in discussions and decisions shaping public environmental andinfrastructure policy.Compiled by www.studyeasy.in

Whatever area you choose, be it design, construction, research, planning,teaching or management, civil engineering offers you a wide range of career choices.And there's no limit to the personal satisfaction you will feel from helping to make ourworld a better place to live.Thestudyeasy.inCivil engineering is an umbrella field comprised of many related specialties.following figure shows the broad categories of fields under civil engineering.Building materials technology deals with proper use of desired material for constructioneconomically and safely. Brick, tiles, soil, cement, stone, sand, steel, aggregates, glass,wood, plastics etc. include construction materials. Some are natural and many aremanmade. The mechanical properties of these materials shall be sufficient to avoidfailure and excessive deformation and provide durability. The chemical properties shallbe to maintain good environment.Structural engineers face the challenge of designing structures that support their ownweight and the loads they carry, and that resist extreme forces from wind, earthquakes,bombings, temperature and others. Bridges, buildings, amusement park rides and manyother kinds of projects are included within this speciality. Structural engineers developappropriate combinations of steel, concrete, timber, plastic and new exotic materials.They also plan and design, and visit project sites to make sure work is done properly.Compiled by www.studyeasy.in

Compiled by www.studyeasy.inThe skills of environmental engineers have become increasingly important as weprotect our fragile resources. Environmental engineers translate physical, chemical andbiological processes into systems to destroy toxic substances, remove pollutants fromwater, reduce nonhazardous solid waste volumes, eliminate contaminants from the airand develop groundwater supplies. Environmental engineers are called upon to resolvethe problems of providing safe drinking water, cleaning up contaminated sites withhazardous materials, disposing of wastewater and managing solid wastes.sy.inGeotechnical engineering is required in all aspects of civil engineering because mostprojects are supported by the ground. A geotechnical engineer may develop projectsbelow the ground, such as tunnels, foundations and offshore platforms. They analysethe properties of soil and rock that support and affect the behaviour of these structures.They evaluate potential settlements of buildings, the stability of slopes and fills, theseepage of ground water and the effects of earthquakes. They investigate rocks andsoils at a project site and determine the best way to support a structure in the ground.They also take part in the design and construction of dams, embankments and retainingwalls.udyeaWater is essential to our lives, and water resources engineers deal with the physicalcontrol of water. They work with others to prevent floods, supply water for cities,industry and agriculture, to protect beaches or to manage and redirect rivers. Theydesign, construct and maintain hydroelectric power facilities, canals, dams, pipelines,pumping stations, locks, seaport facilities or even waterslides.stThe quality of a community is directly related to the quality of its transportation system.Transportation engineers work to move people, goods and materials safely andefficiently. They find ways to meet our ever-increasing travel needs on land, air and sea.They design, construct and maintain all types of transportation facilities, includingairports, highways, railroads, mass transit systems and ports. An important part oftransportation engineering is upgrading our transportation capability by improving trafficcontrol and mass transit systems, and by introducing highspeed trains, people moversand other intermodal transportation methods.The construction phase of a project represents the first tangible result of a design. Usingtechnical and management skills, construction engineers turn designs into reality ontime and within budget. They apply their knowledge of construction methods andequipment, along with the principles of financing, planning and managing, to turn thedesigns of other engineers into successful facilities.Planners are concerned with the full development of a community. They analyse avariety of information to co-ordinate projects, such as projecting street patterns,identifying park and recreation areas, and determining areas for industrial andresidential growth. They employ their technical and people skills to co-ordinate withother authorities to integrate freeways, airports and other related facilities.Compiled by www.studyeasy.in

Compiled by www.studyeasy.inInfrastructureIt is the framework of supporting system consisting of transportation, energy,communication, lifeline facilities, irrigation facilities, etc., for the economic developmentof a country by the growth of industrial and agricultural fields. Economic infrastructurecontributes directly to the economic development of the country while socialinfrastructure like education & training, social welfare, housing, water supply, etc., willhave indirect influence on the economic development. Urban growth only can lead topopulation drift from rural sectors leading to explosion in population in cities andinadequate development of villages and improper care for agricultural sector. Use ofinfrastructural facility only by upper class leads to imbalance. Demands for sustainableenergy, fresh water, clean air, and safe waste disposal drive global infrastructuredevelopment.sy.inThe infrastructural development has the following major impacts on a country Increase in food productionProtection from drought, famine, flood Healthy and comfortable housing facility Safe domestic and industrial water supply Safe and scientific waste disposal Improvement in communication and transportation Generation of electricity from, nuclear, hydel, thermal, solar or wind energy Improved, wealth, prosperity, standard of living Overall growth of a nationstudyea Large-scale budget allocation for infrastructure leads to agricultural and industrialdevelopments. It provides employment, eradicates poverty and enhances per capitaincome.Role of Civil engineers in Infrastructural development are Construction of roads, railway, ports, harbors and airports Construction of dams and proper utilization of water resources Construction of Housing, commercial and industrial complexes Maintenance of facilities Rebuilding, Rehabilitation, Retrofitting and RepairConcluding RemarksCompiled by www.studyeasy.in

Madhava Rao, SJCE, MysoreMECHANICSIt’s a branch of science, which deals with the action of forces on bodies at rest orin motion.ENGINEERING MECHANICSIt deals with the principles of mechanics as applied to the problems inengineering.sy.inBASIC CONCEPTS1. Matter: Anything which has mass and requires space to occupy is called matter.2. Mass: It is a measure of quality of matter contained by the body.SI unit: Kg.Unit: m3Note: Liter Unit of volumeudy1000 liters 1 m3ea3. Volume: It is a measure of space occupied by the body.TMS – Thousand million cubic feet. 109 ft3st 10009 ft x 10000 ft x 1000 ft4. State of rest and motion: State of rest and state of motion are relative and dependon the frame of reference. A body is said to be in a state of rest w.r.t. a frame ofreference if the position of the body w.r.t. that frame of reference is not changingwith time. A body is laid to be in a state of motion w.r.t. a frame of reference if theposition of the body w.r.t. that frame of reference is changing with time.5. Scalar and Vector Quantities: Quantities which require only magnitude torepresent them are called scalar quantities.Eg: Mass, Time interval.Quantitites which require both magnitude and direction to represent them are calledvector quantities.Eg: Force, Velocity, etc.Compiled by www.studyeasy.in

Compiled by www.studyeasy.in6. Displacement and distance travelled: The total linear movement made by a bodyto change its position from one point to another is called distance travelled by thebody. It is a scalar quantity.Unit: Meter (m)mm – Millimeter 10-3mBDisplacementkm – Kilo Meter 103mThe total linear movement made by abody to change its position from one Apoint to another moving along a particularDistancedirection is called displacement.Displacement is a vector quantity.sy.inUnit: Meter (m).7. Speed and Velocity: The distance travelled in a unit time is speed.Unit: m/s ms-1The displacement in unit time is called velocity.eaUnit: m/s ms-18. Uniform motion and non-uniform motion: If the velocity of the moving bodyudyremains constant then the motion is said to be uniform. If the velocity is changingwith time, the motion is laid to be non-uniform.9. Acceleration and retardation: The time rate of change of velocity is calledacceleration.stIf the velocity is increasing with time then acceleration is positive. If the velocity isdecreasing with time then acceleration is negative. Negative acceleration is calledretardation or deceleration.Unit: m/s2 ms-210. Momentum: It is the capacity of a moving body to impart motion to other bodies.Momentum of a moving body is given by the product of mass and velocity of themoving body.Momentum Mass X VelocityUnit: kg m/s or kg ms-1.11.

Force: It is an external agency, which overcomes or tends to overcome the inertia ofa body. It is a vector quantity.14. Elements of a force: There are four elements:a. Magnitudeb. Directionc. Line of actiond. Point of action or application15. Newton’s II Law of motion: “The rate of change of moment of a body is directlyproportional to the magnitude of the force applied and takes place in the direction ofsy.inthe force applied”.Explanation:Initial momentum muFinal momentum mveaChange in momentum over a time interval ‘t’ mv – muRate of change of momentum mv mutFαmv mutudyAccording to Newton’s II law,mFst v u F α m t umVTime interval tF α maF K maIn SI, unit force is defined as that force which acts on a body of unit mass producingunit acceleration.i.e., F 1 when m 1 and a 1then 1 k . 1 . 1 k 1F maUnit of force: newton (N) is the unit of force.
