03/04/19 | Standard Penetration Test | Dr. Monoj Kumar Tiwari | 30 |
The “Standard Penetration Test” (SPT) is an in-situ dynamic penetration test designed to provide information on the geotechnical engineering properties of soil. This test is the most frequently used subsurface exploration drilling test performed worldwide. The test provides samples for identification purposes and provides a measure of penetration resistance which can be used for geotechnical design purposes. Many local and widely published international correlations which relate blow count, or N-value, to the engineering properties of soils are available for geotechnical engineering purposes.
The test uses a thick-walled sample tube, with an outside diameter of 50.8 mm and an inside diameter of 35 mm, and a length of around 650 mm. This is driven into the ground at the bottom of a borehole by blows from a slide hammer with a mass of 63.5 kg (140 lb) falling through a distance of 760 mm (30 in). The sample tube is driven 150 mm into the ground and then the number of blows needed for the tube to penetrate each 150 mm (6 in) up to a depth of 450 mm (18 in) is recorded. The sum of the number of blows required for the second and third 6 in. of penetration is termed the "standard penetration resistance" or the "N-value". In cases where 50 blows are insufficient to advance it through a 150 mm (6 in) interval the penetration after 50 blows is recorded. The blow count provides an indication of the density of the ground, and it is used in many empirical geotechnical engineering formulae.
The Department of Civil Engineering, SSTC, Bhilai organized a one day workshop on “Standard Penetrations Test” on the date of 3 April 2019.The workshop will be the given by the experts.
The students have gone to the site where the bearing capacity of soil is required for the construction and they have observed the test under guidance of expert.

The Department of Civil Engineering, SSTC, Bhilai organized a Pratical workshop on Surveying on dated on 19/11/18, 22/11/18 & 26/11/18 for the benefit of students from 10.00 am to 4.30 pm.Land surveying is simply the art and science of mapping and measuring land. Private ownership of property demands well-defined boundaries, and those boundaries cannot be interpreted or understood without the aid of a survey plan.The students have done the surveying work in field under guidance of resource person and they got the practical knowledge about the field surveying work.

07/07/19 | Gangrel Dam, Dhamtari | Mr Ajay Thakur(Executive Engineer) | 88 |
Industrial visit is a part of the Education, during which students visit companies and get insight of on the internal working environment of the company. The industrial visit also provides an insight on how companies work and also useful information related to the practical aspects of the course which cannot be visualized in lectures.
An industrial visit to Gangrel dam, Dhamtari was organized by department of Civil Engineering on 7 July 2019 under TEQIP-III. 89 Individuals participated in industrial visit.
First they went to Gangrel Dam, also known as the R.S. Sagar Dam, built across the Mahanadi River. This dam supplies year round irrigation, allowing farmers to harvest two crops per year also supplies water to Bhilai Steel Plant and new capital city Raipur. The dam also supplies to 10 MW of hydro-electric power capacity.
After Visiting the dam they went to hydel power plant of capacity 4*2.5.The executive engineer explained the complete operation of Generation, Control and Turbine section to the students. Students interacted effectively with the executive engineering throughout the visit and asked various questions. They also visited the control room wherein they learnt about the various online protection schemes and the way synchronization is done between demand and generation.
After this session all the students were offered a nice lunch. All the students expressed their thanks to the officials for the opportunity given.
This trip was highly useful for the students in terms of practical knowledge about the Gangrel dam. This trip will also be helpful for them to find placement opportunities in such industries.
