Suggestion on Project Topics(8 hrs)

 On the first class before starting the first module, direct the students to select a land
region with defined boundary. The faculty in charge should ensure that the selected
region is appropriate for learning the concepts and methods through the project.
 The students should locate the geographic coordinate systems for the selected region
using applications like Bhuvan.
 Conduct the land surveying using linear measurements (tape or distomat).
 Determine the errors in traverse and apply corrections.
 Prepare the survey sketch.
 Determine the reduced levels and prepare the contour maps using conventional (level
or theodolite) methods.
 Conduct the total station survey of the same region and prepare the contour maps.
 Compare the results of the two methods.
  Determine the earthwork quantity – the faculty shall help the students by suggesting
either a region to fill or cut to find the earthwork quantity estimation requirement.
 Application of advanced surveying techniques including LIDAR is advised but not
mandatory.
 Prepare the survey report, print it and submit to the faculty.

 Suggested Activities/Projects:
Module-II

● Write a reflection on a local environmental issue (e.g., plastic waste in Kerala backwaters or oceans) from different
ethical perspectives (anthropocentric, biocentric, ecocentric).
● Write a life cycle analysis report of a common product used in Kerala (e.g., a coconut, bamboo or rubber-based
product) and present findings on its sustainability.
● Create a sustainability report for a local business, assessing its environmental, social, and economic impacts
● Presentation on biodiversity in a nearby area (e.g., a local park, a wetland, mangroves, college campus etc) and
propose conservation strategies to protect it.
● Develop a conservation plan for an endangered species found in Kerala.

Guidelines for Project:

The project should be designed so that students should learn all the basic design steps in
foundation design.

1. On the first class, while giving introduction to the subject, direct the students to form groups, if
any student wish to work individually the faculty shall assess the student’s capacity and take
appropriate decision.
2. Guide the students to visit two site investigation projects (preferably one to design shallow
foundation and other to design deep foundations)
3. Students can select any building for the study. The building which they have designed in the
previous semester for PBCET404 can be used in this semester also.
4. The faculty in charge should provide two sets of soil investigation data for each group. Among
them one should be of having adequate bearing capacity at shallow depth and the other with low
bearing capacity at shallow depth. The group should calculate allowable bearing capacity and
design one shallow and one deep foundation. The group should calculate allowable bearing
capacity and design one shallow and one deep foundation.
5. For shallow foundation design students should first design the trench/ check the stability of
trench. Find the possible unsupported cut. Further they have to find the stable slope in which the
trench should be made.
6. The detailed design of shallow foundations with drawings should be prepared considering
bearing capacity and settlement.
7. While using the second set of soil exploration data students should check the feasibility of both
raft and pile foundations.
8. Design of pile foundation is expected with detailed drawings.
9. Prepare a detailed report with all the obtained results.

Project based learning (8 hrs)

Steps of Detailed Project Planning:

1. Develop basic drawings of a construction project (Preferably Residential/ small commercial

building; G+1 building maximum)-Use drafting software for developing plan
2. Approximate estimation of quantities and rates, development of BOQ for the project -Use
spread sheet or similar software
3. Develop a Gantt chart/ Precedence Network of the project and identify the critical path and
floats. (use suitable planning software)
4. Develop a resource schedule for the selected project
5. Submit the completed files as project planning report
