A one week workshop was conducted by of Civil Engineering during May 2023 to give students a hands-on experience on concrete mix design as per the latest design codes. Shaik. Khasim basha gave a detailed step by step guidelines and pitfalls to look for while designing a concrete. This gave the students an insight of how mix design of concrete is carried out in field. Also, the participants were made to manually work out a mix design for different grades and types. These mixes were then visually demonstrated and casted in the concrete lab which gave the participants a practical aspect of the field.
One-day workshop on total station has been organised by civil department of Indira Institute of Technology and Sciences under the Association RACE About total station :A total station is an electronic/optical instrument used in modern surveying and building construction that uses electronic transit theodolite in conjunction with electronic distance meter (EDM).It is also integrated with microprocessor, electronic data collector and storage system. The instrument is used to measure sloping distance of object to the instrument, horizontal angles and vertical angles. This Microprocessor unit enables for computation of data collected to further calculate the horizontal distance, coordinates of a point and reduced level of point.
The Department of Civil Engineering held a workshop on surveying methods and followed it up by conducting hands on surveying for the benefit of students. Civil surveying is an engineering operation that involves assessing and recording details about an area of land. These observations can then be used to help plan construction projects. The main purpose of surveying in civil engineering is to determine the three-dimensional relationships between different locations. Students learned about the Topographical maps showing hills, rivers, towns, villages, forests etc. are prepared by surveying. Students learned that for planning and estimating new engineering projects like water supply and irrigation schemes, mines, railroads, bridges, transmission lines, buildings etc. surveying is required
A Workshop was conducted by the Civil Department under the association RACE for civil engineering students by Mr. N. Gangaraju, Associate professor, Civil Engineering Department on 25th March 2023. An attempt was made to evaluate the energy inputs of the design, production and use of aggregates and to consider the cost analysis of each item. The workshop discussion revealed a need for the optimisation of design for aggregates to make the best use of local materials. The need was also noted for the effort necessary to produce a specified material from a particular source; the acceptance of a gradation allowing a somewhat larger size aggregate will in many cases reduce crashing costs and yield additional benefits such as lower binder requirements.
Skills are a form of currency in the working world. The more skills you have, the more valuable you are as an employee, which means you'll be more attractive to more potential employers, you'll be able to make more money, and you'll be able to do more once you land your ideal position. Technical skills are the specialized knowledge and expertise required to perform specific tasks and use specific tools and programs in real world situations. Civil Department conducted a workshop activity session on sink construction. This activity helped the students to have more knowledge on practical implementation of the concepts
Department of CIVIL Engineering had conducted a QUIZ competition under their association RACE on 19 MAY 2023 Y MR.SAIBABA,HoD, Civil Engineering Department
An Industrial visit to Granite Quarry was organised for the Civil Engineering Departmental students so as to enable them to appreciate the various quarrying techniques employed by the Industry. Students from Btech and Diploma visited 7G Granite Factory, Chemakurty and Newly constructed Residency Building, Ongole. In Chemakurty, Students visited aggregate cutting machines and fly ash making machines. From the Industrial visit, the students learned how Granite is dressed and polished with machines as a Galaxy Granite Stone.
A one day workshop on on Pre-fabricated Building Materials was organised by the Departments of Civil Engineering. The objective is to provide exposure to students about manufacturing practices of pre-fabricated building materials and knowledge of its implementation on the existing field conditions. It also aimed to highlight the construction practices involved in the installation of insulated panels which differ from normal masonry and R.C.C construction.
