Project Ideas for Students

Wind is a random phenomenon because of the many flow situations arising from the interaction of wind with structures. The turbulence of strong winds in the lower levels of the atmosphere arises from interaction with surface features. An outcome of the turbulence is that dynamic loading on a structure depends on the size of eddies. Large eddies, comparable with the structure introduces correlated pressure as they envelope with the structure.

The need for groundwater is an important thing for the existence of human society. Because groundwater is one of the major resources of drinking water in both urban and semi-urban areas.

The increase in the worldwide population, demanding energy consumption extremely. This high consumption has a negative impact on the environment and energy conservation.

Buildings affect the environment adversely in many ways. Buildings produce almost 40% of global carbon emission it leads to global warming problems. Methodologies like green roof technology, green buildings, and net-zero energy buildings are necessary to minimize these problems.

Geological modeling process advanced into many stages like paper recording and charting. In the past, interpretation and analysis of geological data are done with the representation of 2-dimensional models. This procedure was more time consuming and tedious.

Cracks are a common phenomenon in concrete structures due to shrinkage. These cracks create a path for liquids and gases (contains harmful substances) into the concrete members. Reinforcement may get corroded if the liquids reach the steel reinforcement. So, it is necessary to take precautionary measures to end these cracks at the very beginning stage. Self-healing concrete is one of the ways to avoid the formation of cracks problem.

Foundation settlement is the major problem faced by geotechnical engineers. If the settlement is severe, it may lead to the complete collapse of the structure even though the factor of safety against shear failure is high. There are many techniques or ways to reduce the foundation settlement, the floating foundation is one of the best solution.

The buildings have a huge impact on the environment both directly and indirectly. It’s not only the materials used to construct a building that affects the environment. How it’s built to operate has a huge impact as well. Buildings also account for an average of 41% of the world’s energy use. Net-zero energy buildings are the best solution for both these major problems.

From many years, maps are useful for collecting, storing and manipulating information about the world. Maps also help in the decision-making process and to find where we are in relation to the environment. Due to the advancement in technology, many new technologies emerge to faster the process of mapping. UAV mapping is one of the advanced technology developed recently.

The increase in urban population is a challenging thing for civil engineers in the housing sector. With the help of old conventional methods, it is not possible to meet the various demands of inhabitants. New construction technologies need in the housing sector, to meet these demands at a faster pace. Mivan formwork is one of the modern technologies that comes under advanced technologies list.
