Civil Engineering

Aim

The aim of the course is to provide a broad knowledge about the construction of the foundation and reinforcement methods. The course also provides knowledge about construction in and on the bedrock as well as an insight into different types of construction. After completing the course the student should:

· Have knowledge of the conditions and implementation of construction in bedrock.

· Be able to describe the various unit operations of the construction in bedrock and reinforcement methods.

· Know and calculate different foundation methods in different soil types.

· Be able to describe the conditions for the design of various construction projects such as bridges, harbors, canals, dams, airports etc.

· Be able to customize design methods within hydraulics within the community building.
