JNTUK R23 B.Tech Civil II Year II Semester (2-2) Syllabus & Subject-wise Topics

Managerial Economics and Financial Analysis

introduces the economic and accounting reasoning engineers need to justify, budget and evaluate projects, not just build them.

• Unit 1: Managerial economics fundamentals, demand concepts and demand forecasting
• Unit 2: Production function analysis, cost behaviour and break-even analysis
• Unit 3: Forms of business organization and market structures from perfect competition to oligopoly
• Unit 4: Working capital management and capital budgeting techniques such as payback period, ARR, NPV and IRR
• Unit 5: Financial accounting basics — journals, ledgers and final accounts — plus ratio analysis

Engineering Geology

explains how rocks, minerals and ground conditions shape where and how civil structures can safely be built.

• Unit 1: Geological branches, weathering processes and the geological work of rivers
• Unit 2: Mineralogy and petrology — identifying common rock-forming minerals and igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks
• Unit 3: Structural geology — folds, faults, joints and unconformities and their engineering significance
• Unit 4: Groundwater movement, earthquakes, landslides and geophysical exploration methods
• Unit 5: Geological considerations in siting dams, reservoirs and tunnels

Concrete Technology

covers concrete from raw ingredients to hardened structural material, including how mixes are designed and quality controlled.

• Unit 1: Cement chemistry, hydration, admixtures, and aggregate classification and grading
• Unit 2: Fresh-concrete properties — workability, setting time, segregation and bleeding
• Unit 3: Hardened-concrete strength, the water-cement ratio law, and destructive/non-destructive testing
• Unit 4: Elasticity, creep and shrinkage behaviour of concrete
• Unit 5: Mix design methods (ACI and IS code) and special concretes such as fibre-reinforced and self-consolidating concrete

Structural Analysis

builds the toolkit for finding forces and deflections in indeterminate structures using classical energy and displacement methods.

• Unit 1: Strain energy and Castigliano’s first theorem for beams and trusses
• Unit 2: Static and kinematic indeterminacy, and Castigliano’s second theorem for truss analysis
• Unit 3: Fixed- and continuous-beam analysis under varied loading
• Unit 4: The slope-deflection method for continuous beams and portal frames
• Unit 5: The moment distribution method for continuous beams and portal frames

Hydraulics and Hydraulic Machinery

extends fluid mechanics into open-channel flow and the turbines and pumps that convert flowing water into usable energy.

• Unit 1: Laminar and turbulent pipe flow, and boundary layer theory
• Unit 2: Uniform open-channel flow and hydraulically efficient channel sections
• Unit 3: Non-uniform open-channel flow, specific energy and the hydraulic jump
• Unit 4: Impact of jets on vanes, and design of Pelton and Francis turbines
• Unit 5: Centrifugal pump principles, performance curves and cavitation effects

Concrete Technology Lab

puts cement, aggregate and concrete quality tests into students’ hands before they specify materials on a real job.

• Cement tests: consistency, setting time, soundness and compressive strength
• Fine and coarse aggregate tests: grading, specific gravity, water absorption and bulking
• Fresh and hardened concrete tests: workability (slump, compaction factor, Vee-bee), compressive/split tensile strength and non-destructive testing

Engineering Geology Lab

trains students to recognize minerals, rocks and geological structures by sight and from maps rather than only in theory.

• Megascopic identification of common rock-forming and ore-forming minerals
• Identification of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rock specimens
• Interpretation of geological maps, strike-and-dip problems and borehole data

Remote Sensing and Geographical Information Systems

introduces satellite imagery and spatial-data analysis as tools civil engineers use for mapping, planning and monitoring terrain.

• Unit 1: Fundamentals of remote sensing, the electromagnetic spectrum, and sensor platforms
• Unit 2: Digital image data formats, image enhancement and classification techniques
• Unit 3: GIS components, spatial data structures, and raster/vector overlay and network analysis
• Lab component: georeferencing, digitization, thematic mapping and DEM/watershed analysis using QGIS or ArcGIS

Design Thinking and Innovation

a creativity-and-process course aimed at turning problem identification into workable product or system ideas.

• Unit 1: Elements and principles of design, and the history of design thinking
• Unit 2: The design thinking process — empathize, analyze, ideate and prototype
• Unit 3: Distinguishing innovation from creativity, and building innovation-capable teams
• Unit 4: Product design strategy, specifications and case studies
• Unit 5: Applying design thinking to business models, startups and corporate innovation

Building Materials and Construction

surveys the raw materials and construction techniques behind ordinary buildings, from bricks to roofing to finishes.

• Unit 1: Properties and manufacture of stones, bricks and tiles, plus aluminium, gypsum, glass and bituminous materials
• Unit 2: Masonry bonding techniques, timber properties and alternative structural materials
• Unit 3: Lime and cement manufacture, composition and testing
• Unit 4: Building components — lintels, arches, staircases, floors and roof types
• Unit 5: Finishes, damp-proofing, paints, and aggregate classification

Community Service Project Internship

the course structure lists a mandatory 8-week community service project internship during the summer vacation; the syllabus document does not contain a unit-wise syllabus for it, since it is evaluated as fieldwork rather than classroom instruction. Stating this honestly rather than inventing content.
