USE OF CIVIL ENGINEERING
SOFTWARE
MODULE-1
Most structural engineers use 3D integrated structural analysis and design software in their daily
work. These software’s make modeling geometries of structures and analyzing loads much more
efficient, therefore decreasing the time and effort needed for finite element analysis. Many of
these software’s have integrated and diverse features, such as analyzing a diversified profile of
structural elements (slabs, openings, foundations, columns, walls, bracings, beams, etc),
modeling structures of different materials, checking for geometrical errors, and outputting
analysis and graphical files. Although there are many software that have efficient features, we
have listed the top 5 structural design and analysis software that we feel have crucial and special
features for design and analysis.
There are various software available for analysis of the structure, the most commonly used
software’s in the consultancy firm are
1. STAAD. Pro
2. E-Tabs
in under two hours. Bentley has also boasted that their programs can design structures using over
80 international codes and can generate structural design documents automatically.

STAAD-Pro is widely used software for structural analysis and design from Research Engineers
International. It is simple to use and user friendly. No prior knowledge of the language of the
program is necessary to get started.
The STAAD. Pro Graphical User Interface (GUI): It is used to generate the model, which
can then be analyzed using the STAAD engine. After analysis and design is completed, the
GUI can also be used to view the results graphically.
The STAAD Analysis and Design engine: It is a general - purpose ca1cuIation engine for
structural analysis and integrated steel, concrete, timber and aluminum design.
The objective of this manual is to familiarize the user with the basic principals involved in the
implementation of the various analysis / design facilities offered by the STAAD engine. As a
general rule, the sequence in which the facilities are discussed follows the recommended
sequence of their usage in the input file.
Input Generator
The user communicates with STAAD through an input file. The input file is a text file consisting
of a series of commands which are executed sequentially.

In STAAD, the SPRING TENSION or SPRING COMPRESSION command can be used to limit
the load direction the support spring may carry.
Cable members
Cable members may be specified by using the MEMBER CABLE command.
Member Offsets
Some members of a structure may not be concurrent with the incident joints there by creating
offset. This offset distance is specified in terms of global or local coordinate system.
Material Constants
The material constants are: modulus of elasticity (E); weight density (DEN); poison’s ratio
(POISS); co-efficient of thermal expansion (ALPHA); composite damping ratio; and beta angle
(BETA).

PROJECT
MANAGEMENT
MODULE 2
Project Management
Project Management: It is the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to execute
projects effectively and efficiently. Project management is the process and activity of planning,
organizing, motivating and controlling resources, procedures and protocols to achieve specific
goals in scientific or daily problems.
d. Assign resources:
• Who is needed for each task?
• What equipment is needed for each task?
• What facilities are necessary?
e. Review the Plan
f. Review the plan:
• Verify the accuracy and completeness
• Circulate the plan for review.
f. Additional planning issues:
• Budget and cost constraints
• Who else needs project status information?
• What are the consequences of missing deadlines?
Gantt chart:
Henry L Gantt developed a graphic charting system to depict activities across a time
scale. The Gantt chart can be used in Microsoft project to build a project as well as track and
report it.
Views:
A view is a format in which you enter and display information. The gantt chart view is
the default view. It is made up of the entry table on the left, used to enter task information and
the Gantt chart on the right.
Changing views:
Project comes with 24 predefined views. You can use the view menu to change views or
the view bar located on the left side of the project window. The view bar lists 8 of the most
commonly used views which are described below:
1) Calendar: a monthly calendar showing tasks and their durations. Use this view to show the
tasks scheduled in a specific week or range of months.
2) Gantt chart: A list of tasks and related information and a chart showing tasks and their
durations over time. This is the most commonly used view to enter and schedule a list of
tasks.
3) Network Diagram: A network diagram showing all tasks and task dependencies. Use this
chart to create and fine tune your schedule in a flowchart format.
4) Task Usage: A list of tasks showing assigned resources grouped under each task. Use this
view to see which resources are assigned to specific tasks and to view resource work
contours.
5) Tracking Gantt: A list of task and related information and a chart showing baseline and
scheduled Gantt bars for each task. Use this view to compare the baseline and schedule with
the actual schedule.
6) Resource Graph: A graph showing resource allocation cost or work. Use this view to display
information about a single resource or group of resources over time.
7) Resource Sheet: A list of resources and related information. Use this view to enter and edit
resource information in a spread sheet like format.
8) Resource Usage: A list of resources showing task assignments grouped under each resource.
Use this view to show cost or work allocation information over time for each resource per
assignment and to set resources work contours.
9) More view: Opens the more view dialogue box which displays a list of every view available.
Theory: Development of a project need all basic data regarding the project which includes
project start date, end date, resources, budget etc. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is the
hierarchical arrangement of all activities involved in a project by linking with one another.
Project work scope can be broken down into manageable parts in a proper hierarchical order into
levels of sub-projects, tasks, work packages and activities. Each descending level of WBS
signifies a detailed description of the elements in preceding project level.
Sub-project level: It is an independent deliverable end product containing multi task which will
be having large volume of work.
Task level: It is an identifiable major work containing one or more work packages.
Work-package level: It is a sizable, identifiable, cost-able and controllable work or item with
package of activities.
Activity level: It is identifiable lower level job or operation which consumes time and resources.
Matrix Schedule
This technique is good for high rise buildings with successive floors of repeating floor plan.
This method is easy to understand and need no explanation. Logical relationship among
various sub-contractors can be shown by this technique very effectively.
Project Scheduling
Construction Project Scheduling is a graphical representation which shows the proper phasing
of construction activities with their starting and completion dates and sequence of relationship
among various activities or operations in a project so that work can be carried out in an orderly
and effective manner.
In construction field, every project is time bound. Every project defines clear objectives which
specifies the completion time of project. Cost and time are correlated in every project.
Schedule must be always proper, well defined. Because, improper scheduling lead to create
delay and loss in project.
Objectives of Scheduling
Scheduling is a process of putting the construction plan on calendar basis. Schedule with proper
network diagram shows the sequence and interdependencies of activities, their time duration and
their earliest and latest completion time with optimum allocation of budget and resources.
Success of any project depends on three main parameters:
• Time: It is important factor on which the schedule is worked out, until there exist any
constraints such as resource or site specific conditions.
• Budget: All resources of project are planned and then cost of the project estimated which
forms the budget of project.
• Quality: Obtaining required quality is up most important factor in any project.
The work should fulfill owner’s requirements within given budget. Quality can be maintained by
milestone activities which help to check the required quality before continuing with the next
activity.
Milestones
Milestones in project schedule, defines point of time indicating start or finish a group of activity.
In WBS, milestone can be any component. Project scheduling depends on these milestones by
setting their planned dates of start and finish as intermediate project targets. These milestones
help during assessment of project status at senior management level and to take proper decisions
for the project. Highlighting these milestones in network of activities helps in project
management.
Scheduling Procedure
Every project needs proper scheduling of activities and all scheduling techniques use time scale
along the horizontal axis. Schedules are best presented in bar chart form for better
communication. Scheduling need work experience for proper plan. It gives an exact time table
for construction activities. Several steps involved in project scheduling:
• Estimating the time duration required for every activity on the network.
• Assign and arrange the activities by logical sequencing, so that simultaneous activities
at a time are made possible to minimize time consumption.
• Using these estimates and sequences of time, compute the total duration of the
project.
• Estimation of time intervals within which every single activity must start and finish
with respect to completion date requirement.
• Estimation of quantity of work for every individual activity involved in the project.
• Identifying the critical activities in the network by means of CPM.
• If project completion date is fluctuating then shorten the project duration as much as
possible for least possible cost.
• Utilize the float in network for activities by adjusting the start and end dates and
minimize the resource conflicts by smoothening and leveling the resources.
• Finally make up a working project schedule which shows anticipated calendar dates
for activities.
• Finish to Start (FS): Successor activity will start after the completion of predecessor activity.
• Start to Start (SS): Successor activity has to start when the predecessor activity already
started and partially completed. For some duration, both the activities will take place
simultaneously.
• Finish to Finish (FF): Successor activity has to finish only after the completion of
predecessor activity. Here also both activities will take place simultaneously for certain period of
time.
• Start to Finish (SF): There will be a relationship between the start of predecessor activity and
finish of successor activity.
Lead and Lags show time differences between two components of dependent link. Lead shows
the acceleration of successor activity with respect to predecessor one and Lag shows the Delay
between dependent components of successor activity with respect to predecessor one.
By identifying the predecessors and successors, Gantt chart is developed which shows the
activities on a bar chart.
CPM is a network which is based on activities; which are planned and monitored. Events are
milestones in this network which represent start or end of certain activity or group of activities. It
follows a proper deterministic approach, where it carries out only one time estimate; without
considering any uncertainties. In CPM, activities and events form a model where each event is
followed by an arrow.
PERT developed in the late 1950’s for the U. S. Navy. In this, time and cost both can be
checked. This technique commonly used in conjunction with CPM for a given project. PERT
helps in managing the multiple tasks which are occurring simultaneously. It can be used also in
non-repetitive type projects where time and cost are quiet uncertain.
1. Lead & Lag Time: If a task can start four days before the previous one is finished, a
lead time of four days gets that successor tasks to start early. The start slack field
contains the duration representing the difference between the early start and late start
dates. The finish slack field contains the duration representing the difference between
the early finish and late finish dates.
2. Constraints: Restriction set on the start or finish date of a task. You can specify that a
task must start on or finish no later than a particular date. Constraints can be flexible or
inflexible. With this, we can impose MSP to calculate the start and finish dates of task.
3. Calendar: Calendars are used to set project and resource working times to accurately
reflect resource availability information. Calendar is the primary means by which we
can control when each task and resource can be scheduled for work in a project.
Calendar types:
We can also provide work week by only selecting working days and work times. Also project
management software gives opportunity to add exceptions and holidays in the work week to
exactly calculate project duration.
4. Network Diagram: A standard project management has a various views, tracking form
that indicates the detail workflow among the tasks in a project is the network diagram.
5. Resources: Resources are the people, supplies and equipments that enable us to complete
the task in project. We can add quantity of resource required for every single task and
calculate the budget required for resources.
The resources will be defined on a resource sheet and then each activity will be assigned with
required resources from sheet.
“Predecessor Task” and that which must occur later in the relationship is a “Successor Task”.
In project management software, we can split an activity by giving different start and finish
dates. Same way, linking of activities done by logical sequences, where network is generated.
Sometimes different activities start together, and such activities can be merged with each other to
get project duration within the critical schedule

COMPUTATION OF EARTHWORK
1. Computation of Area
One of the main objectives of the surveying is to compute the areas and volumes. Generally, the
lands will be of irregular shaped polygons. There are formulae readily available for regular
polygons like, triangle, rectangle, square and other polygons. But for determining the areas of
irregular polygons, different methods are used and they are
Graphical method
Co-ordinate method
Planimeter
Out of these three methods, the co-ordinate method is popularly used, in land surveying for
computing catchment area, drainage area, cross section of rivers, channels etc. Under this
method the given area is split into two with a base line run at the centre.
There are two important rules available for the computation of area and they are
a. Trapezoidal Rule
b. Simpson’s Rule
In trapezoidal rule, boundaries between the ends of ordinates are assumed to be straight. Thus the
area enclosed between these line and the irregular boundary lines are considered as trapezoids.
The reduced level at various intervals is noted and reference RL for cutting or filling is to be
fixed in order to determine the offsets at all the intervals. Using these offsets, the area is
computed using trapezoidal or Simpson’s rule. Let O1, O2-----On be the offsets in meters and d
be the interval in meter.
Trapezoidal Rule
[( ) ]
Simpson’s Rule:
This rule is applicable only when the number of divisions is even or the number of ordinates is
odd sometimes one or both end ordinates may be zero.
[ ]
When there are even numbers of ordinates, the Simpson’s rule is applied for odd number of
ordinates and the calculated area is represented as A1 then the trapezoidal rule is applied for first
and last ordinates to calculate the area A2. Add A1 and A2 to compute the total area A.
2. Computation of Volume
The computation of volumes of various quantities from the measurements done in the field is
required in the design and planning on many engineering works. The volume of earth work is
required for suitable alignment of road works, canal and sewer lines, soil and water conservation
works, farm pond and percolation pond consent.
There are two important rules available for the computation of volume and they are
a. Trapezoidal Rule
b. Prismoidal Rule
The areas at various intervals are given. Using these areas, the volume (V) is computed using
trapezoidal or Prismoidal rule. Let A1, A2, A3 ----- An be the areas in Sq. meters and h be the
interval in meter.
Trapezoidal Rule
[( ) ]
Prismoidal Rule:
This rule is applicable only when the number of divisions is even or the number of areas is odd.
[ ]
When there are even numbers of areas, the Prismoidal rule is applied for odd number of areas
and the calculated volume is represented as V1 then the trapezoidal rule is applied for first and
last areas to calculate the volume V2. Add V1 and V2 to compute total volume V.

DESIGN OF SUPERELEVATION
Definition of Superelevation
When a vehicle travels in a circular path or curved path, it is subjected to an outward force which
makes a vehicle to overturn and skid due to Centrifugal force. To overcome this force and for
safe travel of a vehicle, the outer edge of the road is raised above the inner edge. This is
known as superelevation or banking of road.
Theory on superelevation
While designing the various elements of the road like superelevation, we design it for a particular
vehicle called design vehicle which has some standard weight and dimensions. But in the actual
case, the road has to cater for mixed traffic. Different vehicles with different dimensions and
varying speeds ply on the road. For example, in the case of a heavily loaded truck with high
centre of gravity and low speed, superelevation should be less, otherwise chances of toppling are
more. Taking into practical considerations of all such situations, IRC has given some guidelines
about the maximum and minimum superelevation etc. These are all discussed in detail in the
following sections.
Design of Superelevation
For fast moving vehicles, providing higher superelevation without considering coefficient of
friction is safe, i.e. centrifugal force is fully counteracted by the weight of the vehicle or
superelevation. For slow moving vehicles, providing lower superelevation considering
coefficient of friction is safe, i.e. centrifugal force is counteracted by superelevation and
coefficient of friction. IRC suggests following design procedure:
The program for design of superelevation (e) is developed using excel spread sheet by
considering the two controlling parameter radius of curve and design speed.
Output parameter is considered to check whether the design speed is safe or not
Check for Superelevation, by taking 75% of the design speed and lateral friction (f) = 0 using
the expression.
Where g is the
If , the design speed is safe problem ends and in case , the check
should be done for lateral friction.
{For this IF Statement should written in excel spread sheet to known whether to end or
continue the problem}
Check for Lateral Friction, by taking of the design speed and full design speed using
the expression.
If , the design speed is safe problem ends and in case , the design
speed should be reduced.
{For this IF Statement should written in excel spread sheet to known whether to end or
continue the problem}

Reduced Design Speed (Vr) in KMPH
= 3.6*
Once the design program is written, the program can be operated by changing the design speed
(V) and Radius of Curve (R).
