This unit gives an overview of construction materials, their use and management in civil engineering applications. The course focuses on the earthmoving materials, estimating earthwork volume, excavating and lifting equipment and compaction equipment. The lecture provides an explanation of the foundation work, concrete formwork system and concrete and steel construction work. It also covers construction management topics such as planning and scheduling, construction economics and contract construction, construction safety and health and equipment maintenance.

This unit provides students with the role played by structure in the design and building process. The main aim is to give basic principles of structural analysis and structural design which introduce the limit state approach to the design of simple elements under tension, compression and bending together with an overview of the types of loading acting on structures and their idealization for design purpose. This subject provides the student with a clear and thorough presentation of the theory and application of structural analysis as it applies to trusses, beams, and frames. The students study a discussion of the various types of structural forms and loads, the determination of forces at the supports and connections of statically determinate beams and frames. The analysis of various types of statically determinate trusses and shear and bending-moment functions and diagrams for beams and frames, the analysis of simple cable and arch systems, influence lines for beams, girders, and trusses and several common techniques for the approximate analysis of statically indeterminate structures. Structural engineering is a wider discipline under the field of civil engineering. It is a vast topic with unlimited theories and practices. It is a field that is still developing with huge innovations and ideas. When looking into the working time and the place sent by the structural engineers, most of the highly involved structural engineers will be working in the office as well as on the construction sites. The roles and responsibilities of the structural engineer include Structural Designing, Site and work investigations, Communication, Construction Management and Adequate training. After learning the structural analysis, The students will understand the basis of structural design, load distribution and deflection, examine types of loading acting on structures and their uncertainties, develop collaboration and team-working skills through series of in-class group discussions and calculations and work in groups to relate the real world cases with the theories to be applied.

This module provides the problem solving skills of engineering mathematics. Students will learn the solid knowledge of principles, methods, results and clear view of what engineering mathematics is. It covers Complex Analysis such as Complex Numbers and Functions, Complex Differentiation, Complex Integration, Power Series, Taylor Series, Laurent Series, Residue Integration, Conformal Mapping, Complex Analysis and Potential Theory, and Numerics for ODEs and PDEs in Numeric Analysis. These generalize the familiar real functions of calculus.

The main objective of this course is to provide students with firm understanding of the design of reinforced concrete members and structures through a thorough grounding in the basic performance of materials and structural behaviour under loading, Topics covered in this course will include: fundamental behavior of reinforced concrete; basis for design code and specification; flexural analysis and design of beams; shear and diagonal tension in beams; bond, anchorage, and development length; design of short columns; analysis and design of slabs; and design of footings and foundations.

Throughout the Lecture that follows, Students will find information relating to sustainability in the design, construction, and operation of buildings. Every chapter tells how to build in such a way that resources are used wisely, energy is conserved, waste products are reduced, and buildings are made comfortable, durable, and healthy with the minimum possible cost to the environment. Many of these practices are old and well-known. Some are new and innovative. In either case, architects and engineers must become familiar with them and use the more consistently if we are to pass on to our children and grandchildren a world as lovely, hospitable, healthy, and resource-rich as the world into which we were born.
