Rationale
In today’s times the construction activities are undergoing lots of changes/developments due to internal
and globalized market demands of quality and faster completion of project works using modern techniques,
use of modern and waste materials, and through mechanized construction. Today, we require high-capacity
machines with better output and greater efficiency to make construction process less stressful. This course has
been designed so that civil engineers would be able to use advanced construction technology. Student will be
introduced to some emerging technologies in the field of Civil engineering which will make them more
industry ready.
Objectives
1. To study and understand the latest construction techniques applied to engineering construction
for sub structure.
2. To summarize the students about various techniques of super structure construction.
3. To give an experience in the implementation of new technology concepts which are applied
in field of advanced construction in special structures.
4. To know the different methods of some advanced construction techniques and ground
improvement techniques.
5. To present the new technology related to dredging system and its concepts related
advanced construction technology.
6. To study different methods of rehabilitation and strengthening in construction to successfully
achieve the structural design.
