Hydraulics
I. RATIONALE
Hydraulics is a course of civil engineering which consists of study of fluid behavior and design of hydraulic
structures. The study of hydraulics plays a important role in various civil engineering applications such as water
supply, wastewater management, drainage systems and hydraulic structures. Understanding hydraulics for civil
engineers will help them to make decisions during design of hydraulic structures and ensuring the efficient
management of water supply and wastewater sources. In this course, student will learn behavior of fluid at rest,
fluid in motion, flow through open channel and flow through pipe.
CO1 - Interpret the pressure parameters obtained from pressure measuring devices in liquids.
CO2 - Determine total hydrostatic pressure and center of pressure for different conditions.
CO3 - Calculate relevant parameters for given fluid flow.
CO4 - Determine loss of head for flow through pipe in given situation.
CO5 - Find the relevant fluid flow parameters in open channels.
1. FA-TH represents average of two class tests of 30 marks each conducted during the semester.
2. If candidate is not securing minimum passing marks in FA-PR of any course then the candidate shall be
declared as "Detained" in that semester.
3. If candidate is not securing minimum passing marks in SLA of any course then the candidate shall be
declared as fail and will have to repeat and resubmit SLA work.
4. Notional Learning hours for the semester are (CL+LL+TL+SL)hrs.* 15 Weeks
5. 1 credit is equivalent to 30 Notional hrs.
6. * Self learning hours shall not be reflected in the Time Table.
7. * Self learning includes micro project / assignment / other activities.
VII. SUGGESTED MICRO PROJECT / ASSIGNMENT/ ACTIVITIES FOR SPECIFIC LEARNING / SKILLS
DEVELOPMENT (SELF LEARNING)
Micro project
Collect the technical brochure of available brands of pump in the market and prepare report with your
comments.
Determination of type and capacity of pump for residential bungalow (06 Occupants) of G+1 Storey having 200 Sq
m built up area.
Prepare a model of rectangular and trapezoidal channel.
Assignment
Above is just a suggestive list of microprojects and assignments; faculty must prepare their own bank of
microprojects, assignments, and activities in a similar way.
The faculty must allocate judicial mix of tasks, considering the weaknesses and / strengths of the student in
acquiring the desired skills.
If a microproject is assigned, it is expected to be completed as a group activity.
SLA marks shall be awarded as per the continuous assessment record.
For courses with no SLA component the list of suggestive microprojects / assignments/ activities are
optional, faculty may encourage students to perform these tasks for enhanced learning experiences.
If the course does not have associated SLA component, above suggestive listings is applicable to Tutorials
and maybe considered for FA-PR evaluations.
