 WEEK # 1

– Introduction
– Site Selection
– Orientation & setting out of Civil Engineering
Projects
 INTRODUCTION
• CEC&G deals with the construction techniques
& materials adopted/used for different civil
engineering projects to ensure
– Systematic
– Safe and
– Economical completion of projects
• Graphical tools like AutoCAD (Software)
(computer-aided drafting) provides the facility to
draw the detailed drawings of projects.
• Civil engineering projects can be broadly
classified in to the followings categories.
– Buildings(All types)
– Roads, Railways, Airports & Bridges
– Dams, Reservoirs & Canals.
– Underground structures (Tunnels)
• Civil engineering projects works can be
divided in to three parts
1. Architectural works
2. Structural design works
3. Execution works
1. Architectural works
Architectural works involves Planning, orientation
and aesthetics of the Projects.
2. Structural design works
Structural design work involves design of horizontal
and vertical components of Projects.
Horizontal components are … Floors, Beams, Slabs
etc.
Vertical components are …. Columns, walls, piles
3. Execution works
It involves the Physical execution of work at site by
using the drawings and specifications.
 Site Selection
• It means selection of best site for the
project which provide
– Safety
– Economy
• It is a project specific job.
• It depends on the
1. Requirements of user/client
2. Use of Project
3. Finance available
General Rules for site selection
• It should provide minimum disturbance to the
residents of the area.
• Site should be selected that it provides good
drainage.
• Site should be easily accessible.
• Construction material should be easily available.
• Transportation of construction material is easy.
• The benefit cost ratio (BCR) of the project
should be greater than 1.
 Orientation of Buildings & setting
out of Civil engineering Projects
• What is Orientation of buildings?
– It is defined as the art of placing a building in such a
position that its front faces a particular direction.
• Objective of Orientation of Buildings
– To place the building so as to suit its surroundings.
– To provide natural comfort to users.
– To provide privacy to inmates.
– To protect residents from dust and noise pollution.
– To place the building in such direction that its
minimum portion comes in contact with direct rain
showers so as to avoid dampness in building.
 Factors effecting Orientation of
Buildings
Following factors are important for deciding the
Orientation of Buildings.
1. Surroundings of the Site
The building should be so oriented that it suits surrounding of
the site.
2. Approach to road or street
Approach to nearby road means a good orientation.
3. Sun Movement.
Sun path and sun rays are important in deciding the placement
of different rooms in a building.
 Sun Movement.
• Sun is the important source of energy,
natural light and Temperature.
• If sunrays are properly falling on the
building then it will provide a good living
conditions in the buildings.
