Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
Earthworks activities methods sequences and resources used in civil engineering: Construction methods used earthworks, piling, drainage works, ground stabilization, false work and formwork. Shallow foundations: foundation types, foundations in different soil types. Deep foundations: pile types, single pile, pile groups. Substructures: foundations, piling works, drainage works, culverts, underpasses, provision of utilities and service ducts. Superstructures: bridges, industrial and commercial buildings, large span open plan structures.
Construction methods: reinforced concrete, formwork and false work, structural steelwork.
Latest Technologies used in Super structure sub structure construction. Concrete & Steel form of civil engineering structures, Construction techniques of various civil engineering structures & its elements: structural elements of roads, tunnels, bridges, maritime designs, hydraulic structures. Factors affecting solutions to civil engineering problems: proper regard to health, safety and welfare. Environmental issues, quality matters, technical and economic considerations. Economic, ethical, legislative and social consideration to develop infrastructure technologies and processes that have reduced carbon and environmental impact. Knowledge and understanding of the issues and topics associated with sustainability and low carbon engineering. Sustainability UNSDG, definition and life cycle analysis of projects including embodied and operational carbon.

Module Overview:
This module aims to introduce modern civil engineering, construction technology, forms of civil engineering structures and demonstrate understanding of methods and techniques used to create civil engineering structures and to develop the skills needed to solve problems associated with civil engineering activities. This module focuses on a wide range of civil engineering structures such as roads, tunnels, bridges, hydraulic structures and maritime designs. This module has a strong theoretical underpinning and learners will develop an understanding of the technical requirements for the construction of substructures and superstructures. It will help develop your self-awareness skills and introduce you to CPD and personal development planning. It introduces infrastructure and explains the interlinking between the various forms of infrastructure improvement for zero carbon world and comply with the UNSDG’s.

Additional Information:
The module provides students with an introduction to the methods and techniques used to create civil engineering structures. Students should develop understanding of the methods and techniques used to create civil engineering structures and to develop the skills needed to solve problems associated with civil engineering activities. Students will be supported in their learning by a series of lectures and theoretical approach to identify the methods and techniques used to create civil engineering structures. They are also introduced to sustainability, and the responsibilities of Civil engineers to drive towards net zero. Students must be aware of the UNSDG’s and relate their work to address them in infrastructure projects.
