Mention the applications of various fields of
Civil Engineering.
2.
Compute the resultant of given force system
subjected to various loads.
3.
| Comprehend the action of Forces, Moments and
other loads on systems of rigid bodies and compute the reactive forces that
develop as a result of the external loads.
4.
Locate the Centroid and compute the Moment of
Inertia of regular and built-up sections.
5.
Express the relationship between the motion of
bodies and analyze the bodies in motion.
Question paper pattern:
The SEE question paper will be set for 100 marks and
the marks scored will be proportionately reduced to 60.
The question paper will have ten full questions carrying
equal marks.
Each full question consisting of 20 marks.
There will be two full questions (with a maximum of three
sub questions) from each module.
Each full question will have sub question covering all the
topics under a module.
The students will have to answer five full questions,
selecting one full question from each module.
