PREFACE
CIVIL Engineering Department of Zakir Husain College of Engineering & Technology started
in 1942, trains the students for the cause of technical education. The department pursues
education through enrichment of engineering principles, analytical and application skills along
with overall personality development. This has resulted in preparing our students to be ready for
new economic order and challenges, at par with the best of institutes of the country and abroad.
Engineering education has become an international enterprise, following major

internationalization trends in engineering practice itself over recent decades. India has been
admitted on 13th June, 2014 as a signatory of Washington Accord through National Board of
Accreditation (NBA) agency, which is a step ahead towards outcome based education approach.
After successful completion of accreditation by NBA from 2009 - 2014 for five years, the
department is moving towards outcome based education approach by renewing its accreditation
status through NBA in line with the Washington Accord.
The curriculum for undergraduate engineering course has become more structured by the
introduction of courses which demonstrate a range of skills, from technical problem solving to
soft skills and an aptitude for lifelong learning apart from courses which equip engineering
students with a wider horizon of concepts in terms of environmental, economic, and social
attributes, for decision making of sensitive to sustainability issues.
This booklet contains the vision and mission of the department, programme educational
objectives, programme outcomes, ordinances & regulations, revised course structure and syllabi
with course objectives and outcomes recommended by the board of studies of the Civil
Engineering Department, endorsed by faculty of Engineering and Technology and approved by
Academic Council of AMU, Aligarh.
I sincerely thank and express my gratefulness to all the colleagues of the department for their
useful comments and suggestions.
Special thanks are due to Prof. Kausar Ali and Dr. M. Masroor Alam for their efforts in the
preparation of this document.

(b) A student will normally register for higher semester courses only if he has also registered for un-cleared
courses of previous semesters, especially in the case of un-cleared courses of first two semesters.
(c) A student will have the option to add/delete/alter the courses in his/her registration within a week of
the registration subject to such conditions as may be imposed by the department concerned from time
to time.
(d) A student can drop a course from his/her registration by submitting a request to his/her department
coordinator up to a date specified on his/her registration card. A registered course will be counted as an
attempt even if the student remains absent in the Examination(s).
(e) No student will be allowed to register for more than 40 credits in a semester. A graduating course,
however, will not be included in this limit.
(f) A student may be denied registration in a course due to reasons of paucity of staff or space or
other facilities, especially in case the student is registering a course for improving the grade in a
passed course.
(g) If a student fails to register in two consecutive semesters without specific permission from the
Dean, his/her name may be removed from the rolls of the faculty. Such a student may apply to the
Dean for re-admission stating the reasons for not being able to register for two consecutive semesters
and the Dean will take suitable decision on the merit of the case.
7.2 Graduating Course
A student may be allowed to register for one course of not more than 5 credits if he/she is able to graduate
by passing such a course, irrespective of whether the course is being offered in the current semester to
regular students or not, provided that the student has fulfilled the attendance requirement earlier and has
been awarded E or I grade in that course. Such a course shall be known as a graduating course.
8. Attendance (In lieu of Chapter XVII of the Academic Ordinances)
Attendance in each course separately is compulsory at least once. Students who have put in 75% or more
attendance in a course in a semester will be eligible to appear in the End-Semester Examination of that
course. Students who have put in 65% or more but less than 75% attendance in a course may be considered
for condonation of shortage of attendance in that course by the condonation committee. Students whose
attendance in a course is less than 65% or whose shortage in attendance has not been condoned will not
be eligible to appear in the End-Semester Examination of that course and will be awarded grade ‘F’ in that
course and all marks obtained in any component of the course-evaluation will stand cancelled. However,
in case a student is repeating a course and the student has already fulfilled the attendance requirement in
that course, he/she will not be detained due to shortage of attendance in that course during the repeating
semester.
9. Examination and Evaluation (In lieu of Clause (9) of Chapter XV of the existing Academic
Ordinances)
9.1 Components of Evaluation
Each course will be evaluated out of 100 marks. The courses will normally have the following
components of evaluation:
(a) Theory courses:

Course work 15 marks
Mid-Semester Examination 25 marks
End-Semester Examination 60 marks
xxvi
(b) Laboratory courses including Seminar, Colloquium, Project, etc.
Course work 60 marks
End-Semester Examination 40 marks
However, for special academic reasons, some courses may have different weight for different components
of evaluation from that given above. Such special reasons will be spelt out clearly in the curriculum.
9.2 Grading System
The combined marks obtained by a student in various components of evaluation of a course shall be
converted into regular letter grades with their equivalent grade points as specified below:
Grade Grade points Description

A 10 Outstanding
B 8 Very good
C 6 Good
D 4 Satisfactory (Minimum Pass Grade)
E 2 Unsatisfactory (Fail)
F 0 Detained due to shortage of attendance
I 0 Incomplete/Absent in the End-Semester Examination
Z 0 Cancelled due to other reasons
The following marks ranges may ordinarily be used for the award of grades to the students in a
course.
Range Grade
75 and above A
60 and above but less than 75 B
45 and above but less than 60 C
35 and above but less than 45 D
Less than 35 E
Two grace marks may be awarded by the examiner for passing a course and one grace mark may be
awarded by the examiner to elevate the grade. Any fraction in any component of evaluation should be
rounded off to the next whole number.
The examiner(s) may propose higher or lower grade ranges depending upon the nature of the course and
general performance of the students in the course, but the final decision rests with the Result Moderation
Committee. However, the minimum passing grade `D` should never be awarded if a student secures
below 35 marks (including 2 grace marks) in a course.
9.3 Evaluation of a Graduating Course
A graduating course shall be evaluated on the basis of the End-Semester Examination component of the
course alone. The student shall appear only in the End-Semester Examination of the graduating course.
Grade D shall be awarded if the student concerned obtains 35 or more of the marks allotted to End-
Semester Examination alone. In case the marks obtained are less than 35, grade E will be awarded. Two
grace marks, however, will be awarded for passing the course.
9.4 Earned Credits (EC)
If a student passes a course by obtaining grade D or above he/she earns the credits assigned to that
course.
9.5 Performance Indices
At the end of every semester a student’s performance will be indicated by Earned Credits (EC), a Semester
Performance Index (SPI), and a Cumulative Performance Index (CPI). The SPI is the credit-weighted
average of grade points of all courses registered during a semester and is computed as follows:
xxvii
SPI = (C1G1 + C2G2 +……) / (C1 + C2 +…….)
Where C1, C2… are the credits assigned to courses and G1, G2… are the grade points earned in those
courses.
The CPI is the credit-weighted average of grade points of all courses passed in all the semesters since
admission.
9.6 Repetition of a Failed Course
If a student fails in a course his/her marks of all components of evaluation in that course will be cancelled.
The student will have to register the course again or its alternative and will be required to appear in all
components of evaluation afresh. No previous marks shall be used in any case.
9.7 Repetition of a Passed Course
A student may repeat a course to try to improve his/her grade in that course only once, provided that he/she
has passed that course in a single attempt. In such case the student will have to register the course again
and will be required to appear in all components of evaluation afresh. No previous marks shall be used
in any case. For the purpose of calculating the SPI the recently obtained grade will be considered while for
CPI the better of the two grades will be counted.
9.8 Conduct of Examinations
(a) The examiners for the End-Semester Examination of all theory courses will normally be the
teacher(s) associated with the course. The Seminar, Colloquium courses will be examined by the
teacher(s) associated with the course and one or more examiners from among the teachers of the
department to be recommended by the BOS of the department concerned. The laboratory and project
courses will be examined by the teachers(s) associated with the course and an external examiner not in
the service of the university at the time of examination. In case the external examiner does not turn up
for the examination, the Chairman of the department concerned, in consultation with the course in-
charge, shall call another person to act as the external examiner, even from within the University, if
necessary.
(b) The End-Semester Examination of all graduating courses shall be conducted simultaneously along
with the End-Semester Examination of regular courses of the current semester examination.
9.9 Moderation Committees
(a) Question Paper Moderation Committee: There shall be a Moderation Committee of the concerned
Department consisting of the following members to moderate the Question Papers of the End-Semester
Examination.
(i) Chairman of the Department concerned – (Convener)

(ii) One senior teacher of the Department in each broad area of specialization (to be appointed by
the BOS).
Note: The Paper Setter(s) may be invited, if necessary, to clarify the necessary details of the question
paper.
(b) Result Moderation Committee: There shall be a Result Moderation Committee of the concerned
Department consisting of the following members to moderate course-wise results of the End-Semester
Examinations.
(i) Chairman of the Department concerned - (Convener)

(ii) One senior teacher of the Department in each broad area of specialization (to be appointed by
the BOS).
(iii) Examiner(s) concerned.
The Result Moderation Committee will examine the result of each theory course and in case of an abnormal
situation; it may take suitable corrective measures in consultation with the examiner(s). The examiner(s) will
xxviii
place the evaluated answer scripts along with the brief solution and marking scheme before the Committee.
In case of difference of opinion among the members of the Committee, the majority decision will prevail, in
which the examiner(s) will not participate.
10. Degree Requirement
(a) A student who earns 200 credits subject to the break up in various course categories and fulfills such
other conditions as may be mentioned in the curriculum will be awarded the degree of Bachelor of
Technology. He/she must also pay all University dues as per rules. Moreover, there should be no
case of indiscipline pending against him/her.
(b) If a student earns more credits than the minimum required for the award of degree, his/her CPI will be
calculated by considering the best grades subject to fulfilling the criteria of required credits as specified
in the curriculum.
11. Name Removal from the Rolls of the University and Mercy Appeal
11.1 Name Removal
The earned credits (EC) of every student will be checked at the end of even number of semesters and if
the total credits earned by the student are less than the minimum required as given below, his/her
admission to the B. Tech. programme will be cancelled and his/her name will be removed from the rolls of
the University.
Check Point (No. of Minimum EC

semesters after admission) requirement
2 semesters 0
4 semesters 25
6 semesters 50
8 semesters 80
10 semesters 110
12 semesters 140
14 semesters 200
11.2 Mercy Appeal
If the name of a student is removed from the rolls of the University as per provisions of clause 11.1 of these
ordinances, he/she may appeal to the Vice-Chancellor stating the reasons for not being able to earn the
required credits and the Vice-Chancellor, if he is satisfied with the reasons, may allow the continuation of
admission of the student only once during the tenure of the programme, extending the total duration of
the programme by two semesters, at the maximum, beyond 14 semesters, if required. Under no
circumstances a student will be allowed to complete the programme after the lapse of 16 semesters after
admission.
12. Result
a) If a student passes all the examinations and fulfills all the requirements for the award of degree his/her
result will be shown as “Graduated”.
b) The Division awarded to “Graduated” students will be based on CPI as given below:
First Division (Honours) CPI ≥ 8.5

First Division 6.5 ≤ CPI < 8.5
Second Division CPI < 6.5
There shall be no formula for conversion of CPI or SPI into equivalent percentage of marks during the
programme. However, once the programme is completed by a student and he/she is graduated, his/her final
CPI will be converted into equivalent percentage of marks by the following formula:
=( − + − )/
xxix
Where y is the percentage of marks and x is the CPI.
(c) If a student earns more credits than the minimum required as given in the table in clause 11.1
before fulfilling the degree requirements, his/her result will be shown as “Continued”.
(d) If the name of a student is removed from the rolls of the University as per provisions of clause 11.1
of these ordinances his/her result will be shown as “Name Removed”.
(e) Ranks/Positions will be determined at the end of even semesters. Only those students who fulfill the
following conditions will be eligible for ranks/positions:
(i) They do not have any break in their studies;

(ii) They have passed every scheduled course in first attempt;
(iii) They have passed every course on time as per the curriculum;
(iv) They have earned credits as per the schedule given in the curriculum;
(v) They have not improved grade in any course after passing the course.
The students who violate any of the above conditions will not be awarded any rank/position. The
ranks/positions will be determined on the basis of CPI.
13. Transitory Ordinance
Candidates admitted prior to the implementation of these Ordinances shall be governed by the Ordinances
(Academic) under which they were admitted. Students who fail in the courses that are no more offered in
these new ordinances and new curriculum will be allowed to pass the alternative courses, and in case there
are no alternative courses, the old courses may be offered. For such candidates, any marks obtained earlier
shall not be taken into account for passing the course(s) and they will have to obtain marks in all
components of evaluation afresh. A student admitted previously may apply to the Dean through the
Chairman concerned, to be governed by these ordinances. Such cases may be allowed on a case by case
basis.

called Sessional Marks.
b) The marks obtained by a student in the end-semester examination will be called Examination Marks.
2. Conduct of Teaching
2.1 Course In-charge
Every course will be taught by one or more teachers. The BOS of the concerned department will allocate the
teaching load to the teacher(s) and will also designate a course in-charge for each course. If more than one
department is involved in the teaching of the course, the course in-charge will be from the coordinating department.
The course in-charge will coordinate all the work related to attendance, course work, examination and evaluation.
It is necessary that the students are informed about the course in- charge so that they may contact him/her
about any problems regarding the course.
2.2 Display of Attendance, Marks etc.
It is essential that the attendance should be displayed to the students twice in a semester, once in the
middle and then at the end of a semester by the teacher(s) concerned. The mid-semester marks should be
displayed to students normally within 15 days of the examination. The total sessional marks should be displayed to
the students before the beginning of the end-semester examinations. The course in-charge will ensure that
the teachers associated with the course make such displays and, in case of complaints from the students in
this regard, shall inform the Chairman of the concerned department about the problem.
2.3 Offering Courses
(a) Courses will be offered by the department concerned as per the schedule given in the relevant Curriculum.
Departments may also offer a course in both the semesters even though it may be shown in a particular
semester.
(b) Department Elective (DE) courses will be offered depending on the availability of the staff and other facilities
and therefore any particular elective course may not be offered even though it may exist in the list of
possible elective courses.
(c) The advisement for Open Elective (OE) courses in various departments will be based on the guidelines
approved by the respective Board of Studies.
2.4 Syllabus
Each course will have a syllabus which will be distributed to the students. The teacher(s) concerned should
ensure that some portion, beyond the syllabus, should also be covered in the class.
3. Correction of Errors

CORE ENGINEERING SUBJECTS WITH DESIGN EXPERIENCE
Civil Engineering is a society oriented profession that has long been in existence to serve the needs of
mankind. It evolved with the advent of society and for increased mobility and convenience. The role of the
civil engineer has always been one that deals primarily with public works: the planning, design, and
construction of airports, buildings, transportation, bridges, irrigation, flood control, water supply and waste
disposal systems. These civil engineering works not only manage our environment, but are very much part
of the environment itself and have important social and economic impacts.
The most important objective of civil engineer is to design structures keeping in view utility, safety and
cost. The emphasis in undergraduate civil engineering programme is to impart basic knowledge and
acumen towards designing. To achieve this goal various courses have been intentionally incorporated in
the curriculum, starting from basic and engineering science courses and progressing through design
intensive courses to culminate in project design course.
Design in Structural Engineering focus area:
The beginner course in this focus area is ME 111: Applied Mechanics, which is a combination of Strength
of Material and Engineering Mechanics, where the students get a feel of strength associated with any
material subjected to different kinds of deformations and gets a broad view of stability of a rigid body. The
students are able to understand fundamental theories of stress, strain, and deflection of deformable bodies
due to bending, axial force, torsion, and shear. The students are introduced to the procedures for applying
these basic principles to the design of shafts and beams.
The first course is supplemented by Structural Mechanics theory & lab (CE216, CE294) where students
learn principles of strain energy which is the extremum principle of structural engineering. Another
important principle of direct and bending stresses, eccentric loading is taught which is further applied in
design of columns, voussers of Arch. The analysis of framed structure is imparted through Structural
Analysis-I & II (CE315, CE430) course wherein the concept of force and displacement method and
solution of equations are given by iterative as well as closed forms for use as design tools.
Our students are taught design paper in three stages: In first stage, they are taught design philosophy on
empirical basis with deterministic load. In second stage, we teach some deterministic loading and ultimate
load theory. In the final stage, the students are taught Limit State Method which is a probabilistic approach
in material strength and loading.
The above mentioned stages are covered in Design of Concrete Structures-I (CE311) followed by Design
of Concrete Structures-II (CE411). The students are also given exposure into steel structures through
Design of Steel Structures (CE318) course where they apply Limit State Method for designing steel
structures. The students are trained through design tutorials in Steel and Concrete structures. Finally they
draw and detail the design problem by hand sketching as well as through AutoCAD software.
The students are given freedom to choose their final year Project (CE494A/B) in Structural Engineering
based on their knowledge gained through the above courses and design different types of structural
systems including residential and commercial buildings, bridges, flyovers and different types of tanks. In
this programme, our students are exposed and encouraged to use modern engineering softwares like
STAAD Pro, ETABS, SAP etc.

Design in Hydraulic Structures focus area:
Water being an important natural resource, due credence is given to water resource conservation and its
optimum utilization by mankind in terms of civil water supplies and irrigation potential in civil
engineering. Various hydraulic structures are made to store; raise water level and its distribution through
open and closed channels. This warrants proper understanding of hydrology, hydraulic systems and fluid
mechanics. There are some natural disasters notably flood, storm, cloud burst where immense amount of
water accumulate in a very short time span leading to deluge hence require hydraulic systems to minimize
its effect.
The introduction to water system and mechanics involved therein is first studied through course Fluid
Mechanics (CE213), where students learn the fundamentals of fluid flow, apply continuity and energy
equations to ‘design’ components of hydraulic systems; for e.g. in sizing the pipes, estimating pump
capacity etc under given conditions. They also get an opportunity to conduct laboratory tests on related
topics through lab course on Fluid mechanics (CE292). The students are exposed to various natural
repositories of water, their movement and various hydrological processes in Hydrology (CE219). They are
also taught to measure various hydraulic parameters to be applied in designing of hydraulic structures.
These courses are followed by Engineering Hydraulics I & II (CE316, CE414), where the students are
exposed to various hydraulic parameters, their governing equations and applications in real life problems.
The Hydraulic lab course (CE396) gives an idea of understanding abovementioned hydraulic entities
through experimentation.
Following these courses, students undergo design intensive course of Irrigation Engineering (CE415) and
Design of Irrigation works (CE493), where they learn efficient and proper designing and detailing of some
typical irrigation structures i.e. Earthen canals, Lined Canals, Stable alluvial channel, Canal regulation
structures, Cross drainage works, Diversion headworks etc. The importance and effect of uplift pressure in
the design of hydraulic structures on permeable soils is duly emphasised keeping in view sustainable
design of hydraulic structures on permeable foundations. Due importance is given to proper detailing in the
drawings of hydraulic structures.
Finally, students undertake a Project (CE494A/B) to design structures for flow measurement, regulation,
drainage, energy dissipation, and conveyance. Students apply rainfall, runoff, and flow estimation methods
learnt in CE 219, to develop and establish design criteria based on static and dynamic loads, evaluate
adequacy based on structural stability, capacity, precision and economic performance. In this programme,
our students are exposed and encouraged to use modern engineering softwares like STAAD Pro, MIKE 11,
QUAKE11 etc.
Design in Environmental Engineering focus area:
The beginner course in this focus area is Environmental Studies (CE111), which deals with ecology,
natural processes and chemistry involved in different aspects of environment. This course trains the
students about the water, wastewater characteristics, purification processes, both natural and advanced
techniques. This course also offers a basic knowledge about importance of the solid waste and its
management and air pollution control. This course builds up the basic fundamental background for the
higher environmental engineering courses offered in civil engineering department.
The first course is supplemented by Environmental Engineering theory and laboratory (CE313, CE392)
course where students are made conversant about the environmental pollution problems related to land, air
and water. In this course, students learn about the design of collection and distribution of domestic
wastewater and different techniques of onsite treatment of sewage. They are imparted knowledge for
designing of wastewater treatment processes (Physical, Chemical and Biological) including the latest state
of the art technologies (Sequencing Batch Reactor, Upflow Sludge Blanket Reactor, and Advanced
Oxidation Process, Low cost treatment systems, Stabilization ponds, lagoons, wetlands Septic tank, Sludge
Treatment). A brief idea of solid waste collection, its sources, characteristics and different methods of its
disposal is also given in this course. In the laboratory part, the experiments are designed in such a way that
the students thoroughly understand the practical utility of different water and wastewater analysis and
treatment system design.

In addition to the above courses, department offers departmental elective course titled Industrial Pollution
Control (CE429) for the civil engineering students who wish to learn about the role of science and
engineering in Industrial Pollution Control. In this course, students learn about the severity of the industrial
pollution and design processes involved in the treatment of wastewater, and control of air pollution. They
are taught about pollution abatement in major industries: Textile, Paper and Pulp, Steel, Sugar, Distillery,
Petroleum Refinery. Another part of the course focuses on Air pollution control, methods for removal of
particulates and gaseous pollutants, design principles for controlling devices.
To impart fundamental training and knowledge about this coveted field of engineering & sciences for
students of other departments as well, the department offers open elective course titled Fundamentals of
Environmental Engineering (CE481). This course develop basic understanding about the pollution
control measures for water, air and land coupled with application in the industry of any type. For the
interdisciplinary nature of this course, the role of microbiology in environmentally relevant processes
including bioremediation of pollutants, Mass balance and energy balance approach, Kinetics, Steady-
State Condition for designing of different treatment unit is being taught in this course.
In the final year, students undertake their final year project (CE494A/B) in Environmental Engineering
where they identify and select the relevant environmental problems and then appropriately make use of the
laboratory equipments for the testing and analysis of water/wastewater, solid waste, air etc according to
their topic. During their project, they understand the limitations of different technologies involved in the
solution of environmental problems. On that basis they design there experimental setup and fabricate
different type of lab scale reactors in case of wastewater treatment system and analyze their experiments.
Design in Geotechnical Engineering focus area:
Geotechnical Engineering includes the study of mechanical behavior of geo-materials (soils and rocks), in
relation to design and construction of civil engineering structures such as building foundations, retaining
structures, embankments and excavations. Students learn to analyze and design structural foundations,
assess slope stability of natural and man-made slopes with emphasis on numerical and limit equilibrium
techniques, in addition to natural and man-made hazard mitigation, advanced techniques for site and
material characterization, constitutive modeling of natural materials, design of pavement systems, and geo-
environmental assessment and remediation.
The first course in this focus area is Engineering Geology (CE215), which provides the application of the
science of geology to the understanding of geologic phenomena and the engineering solution of geologic
hazards and other geologic problems for society. This course is well supplemented by Engineering
Geology Lab (CE293) and field training course, Engineering Geology Camp (CE286). In this course,
students acquire the basic background and laboratory skills required for Soil Mechanics and Soil
Mechanics Lab (CE312, CE391), where students learn the main concepts of soil mechanics and soil
engineering as they relate to civil engineering projects, basic soil testing methods and interpretation of the
engineering properties of soils.
In addition to the above courses, Transportation Engineering and Transportation Engineering Lab (CE317,
