Overview

What you'll
be able to do.

Civil engineers plan, design, construct, and maintain structures such as buildings, bridges, highways, tunnels, and more. Each component goes through specific design considerations that focus on optimizing the strength and support it provides to the overall building. There are different materials used in the construction of buildings, each having their own unique properties that make them suitable for different applications. To improve the overall strength and safety of the building, civil engineers test the structural integrity of different materials and components. This course on civil engineering fundamentals will cover these design considerations, and the different materials and components used in construction.

By taking this course, learners will...

  • Understand the different types of building materials/components, load calculations, concrete types and mix designs in accordance with industry standards and codes.
  • Get exposed to the modern and rising trend in the use of prefabricated structures.
  • Gain an established understanding of civil engineering concepts needed to advance their career or higher education in the field.
  • Complete challenges and projects designed by experts according to industry specifications that require practical application of the concepts learned throughout the course.

Who can enroll in this course?

Learners with a background in civil engineering can take this course.

Curriculum

8 modules,
built with industry.

  1. 01Civil Engineering Fundamentals Module8 modules
    1. Introduction to Building MaterialsW01

      There are a wide range of natural and synthetic materials used in the construction of buildings. Each material has its own unique properties, applications, and costs. It is important to understand the different building materials, and their applications.

      This week will cover

      • Different Building Materials (Sand, bricks, concrete blocks, aerocon blocks, hollow concrete blocks, grass, reinforcement bars, timber/wood, structural steel)
      • Aggregates
        • Properties of aggregates
        • Test on aggregates
      • Cement
        • Grades of Cement
        • Physical properties of cement
        • Types of cement
      • Admixtures
        • Functions of admixtures
        • Types and selection of admixtures
    2. Introduction to ConcreteW02

      Concrete is the most predominant building material used worldwide. It is a composite material made of fine and coarse aggregate, binding material like cement, water, and sometimes admixture. There are different types and grades of concrete distinguished by their strength, composition, and application. It is important to understand the basics of concrete, its properties, and different types, as well as the tests used to understand its properties.

      This week will cover

      • Types of concrete
      • Grades of concrete
      • Advantages and disadvantages of concrete
      • Tests for concrete
      • Popular nondestructive testing (NDT) for concrete
    3. Concrete Mix DesignW03

      Concrete mix design involves identifying the optimal proportion of aggregate, binding material, and water for the desired strength and application. When making a concrete mix, there are a series of factors that need to be considered. It is important to understand the different mixes and their proportions, as well as the factors that need to be considered when designing a mix.

      This week will cover

      • Types of mixes
      • Requirements
      • Mix proportion designation
      • Factors affecting mix proportion
      • Factors to be considered for mix proportion
      • Mix ratio for different grades
      • Calculation of water cement ratio for mix design
      • Concrete mix design
    4. Mixing, Batching, & Transportation of ConcreteW04

      Handling concrete involves batching, mixing, and transporting it. Batching entails determining the proportions of different ingredients in concrete by mass or volume, after which they will be mixed together in a mixer. Once this is done, the concrete will be transported to the site it is needed. It is important to understand the different steps involved in the handling of concrete.

      This week will cover

      • Mixing
      • Batching of concrete
      • Transportation of concrete
      • Ready mix concrete (RMC)
    5. Introduction to Structural elements and Formwork procedure- Footing, Beams and ColumnsW05
      • Special Concrete
      • Types of special concrete
      • Step by step by construction sequence
      • Building components - Beam and column
    6. Introduction to different types of Slabs and Prefabricated SystemW06
      • Slabs
      • Types of slabs
      • Prefabricated structures
      • Types of prefabricated structures
    7. Calculation of Dead Load, Live Load and Wind LoadW07
      • Loads on a building
      • Dead load calculation
      • Live load calculation
      • Step by step procedure for wind load and seismic calculation
    8. Bar Bending ScheduleW08
      • Bar bending schedule
      • Vaastu shastra
