Syllabus for
Master of Technology (Structural Engineering)
Academic Year  (2021)

Engineering Science is a key area in the study of an Engineering Course. Sound knowledge of this area develops principles of physics, laws of Chemistry and mathematical analytical skills, thus enabling graduates to solve numerical problems encountered in daily life, particularly in the area of engineering. An educational institution that does not respond to the present requirement and changes and does not lead to research will remain on the wayside of the higher education missing the opportunities for going beyond. Keeping our vision Excellence and Service, Engineering Science introduces the student to those areas of Science which, from a modern point of view, are most important in connection with practical problems.

All structures, including critical civil infrastructure facilities like bridges and highways, deteriorate with time due to various reasons including fatigue failure caused by repetitive traffic loads, effects of environmental conditions, and extreme events such as an earthquake. This requires not just routine or critical-event based inspections (such as an earthquake), but rather a means of continuous monitoring of a structure to provide an assessment of changes as a function of time and an early warning of an unsafe condition using real-time data. Thus, the health monitoring of structures has been a hot research topic of structural engineering in recent years. Keeping this in mind, the course objectives are framed such that, students will be able to :

·         Learn the fundamentals of structural health monitoring,

·         Study the various vibration-based techniques for structural health monitoring

·         Gain knowledge of the various methods for repair of structures
