 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
1. Architectural works involves Planning, orientation
and aesthetics of the Projects.
2. Structural design works
1. Structural design work involves design of
horizontal and vertical components of Projects.
2. Horizontal components are … Floors, Beams,
Slabs etc.
3. Vertical components are …. Columns, walls, piles
3. Execution works
1. 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 B/C ratio 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.
• Object 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.
