 About Civil Engineering Department

The department is one of the pioneering departments since the
commencement of the college in 2009. The department has qualified faculty
members engaged in teaching with the aim of achieving excellence in various
fields. The faculty members are specialized in different disciplines of Civil
Engineering. The vision of this department is to shape infrastructure development
with social focus.
Civil Engineering Department offers the Under Graduate and Post
Graduate program in Structural Engineering. At postgraduate level, it
independently conducts M.Tech. course in Structural Engineering approved by
AICTE. The department has Sixteen Assistant Professors.
The department has been a pioneer and leader to carry out testing and
challenging consultancy work in the fields of Geotechnical and structural
engineering. The soil exploration techniques, bearing capacity predictions,
structural engineering strength assessments are conducted in testing work
approved by All India Council of Technical Education and Nuclear Power
Corporation of India Ltd.
The department presents a picture of a small but fully dedicated and
developed faculty contributing to all round growth of students, Institute,
Industries and Society.
The graduates coming out from the Institute are well prepared with
knowledge and technical information, refined with professional touch, are
capable of undertaking the Civil Engineering jobs to meet the challenges of the
21st Century.

 History of Bridges
People have always been interested in transporting themselves and their
goods from one place to another. So the rivers, mountains and valley are
considered as a basic problem facing the people in their transportation and
movement from one place to another. So in the beginning they thought to pass
that obstruction and move away. First they used a rope or swimming and finally
they reached to use a bridge that was mode of simple materials like rock, stone,
timber and other materials was available at that time. The history of development
of bridge construction is closely linked with the history of human civilization.
The first bridges were simple beam span of stone slabs or tree trunks, and for
longer spans, single strands of bamboo or vine were stretched across the chasm or
oops or baskets containing the traveller were pulled across the stretched rope.
A bridge is a structure providing passage over an obstacle without closing
the way beneath. The required passage may be for a road, a railway, pedestrians,
a canal or a pipeline. The obstacle to be crossed may by a river, a road, railway or
a valley.

 Aim and Objective

Bridges have always been an important part of our environment. They have
been major subjects of literature and art, both – ancient and modern. Wars have
been fought over bridges and in many cases the capture of strategic structure has
had a pronounced effect on the final outcome of the war, bridges have been the
center of village or city life. Today the structural engineer has at his disposal the
most powerful analytical tool ever imagined, the digital computer; this instrument
can perform in a matter of minutes a volume of calculations that would have
previously taken years.
 Components of a bridge
The main parts of abridge structure are as below:
 Decking, consisting of slab, girders, trusses, etc…
 Bearings for the decking.
 Abutments and piers.
 Foundations for the abutments and piers.
 River training works, like revetment for slopes at abutment, aprons at bed
level, etc.
 Approaches to the bridge to connect the bridge proper to the roads on either
side; and Handrails, guard stones, etc…
The component above the level of bearing are grouped as superstructure, While,
the parts below the bearing level are classified as sub structure.
 Classification of Bridges
Bridge may be classified in many ways, as below:
 According to function as aqueduct (canal over a river), viaduct (road or railway
over a valley), pedestrian, highway, railway, road-cum-rail or pipe line bridge.
 According to the material of construction of superstructure as timber, masonry,
iron, steel, reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, composite or Aluminum
Bridge.
 According to the form or type of superstructure as slab, beam, truss, arch or
suspension bridge.
 According to the inter span relations as simple, continuous or cantilever bridge.
 According to the position of the bridge floor relative to the superstructure, as
deck, though, half-through or suspended bridge.
 According to the method of connections of the different parts of the
superstructure, particularly for steel construction, as pin connection, riveted or
welded bridge.
5
 According to the road level relative to the highest flood level of the river
below, particularly for a highway bridge, as high-level or submersible bridge.
 According to the method of clearance for navigation as high-level, movable-
bascule, movable-swing or transporter bridge.
 According to span length as culvert (less then 8m), Miner Bridge (8 to 30m),
major bridge (above 30m) or long span bridge (above 120m).
 According to degree of redundancy as determinate or in determinate bridge.
 According to the anticipated type of service and duration of use as, permanent,
temporary, military (pontoon, Bailey) bridge.
Looking toward the modern civilization we offer Advance Design of

Bridge subject as an elective subject in first semester of M.Tech (Structural
Engineering).
