BANGALORE
(Autonomous Institute, Affiliated to VTU)

SYLLABUS
(For the Academic year 2015 2016)
VII & VIII Semester, B E

Civil Engineering Department

History of the Institute:


M. S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology was started in 1962 by the late Dr. M.S. Ramaiah, our Founder
Chairman who was a renowned visionary, philanthropist, and a pioneer in creating several landmark
infrastructure projects in India. Noticing the shortage of talented engineering professionals required to
build a modern India, Dr. M.S. Ramaiah envisioned MSRIT as an institute of excellence imparting
quality and affordable education. Part of Gokula Education Foundation, MSRIT has grown over the
years with significant contributions from various professionals in different capacities, ably led by Dr.
M.S. Ramaiah himself, whose personal commitment has seen the institution through its formative
years. Today, MSRIT stands tall as one of Indias finest names in Engineering Education and has
produced around 35,000 engineering professionals who occupy responsible positions across the globe.
History of Department:
The Civil Engineering Department was started in the year 1971. Master program M Tech in Structural
Engineering was started in the year 1984. Another milestone was achieved in the year 1994; the
department was recognized as Research Center. Over four decades the department has carved its niche
in the areas of academics, research, consultancy, collaborative projects, and publications. The
department was awarded distinction of 5 years of accreditation by NBA when it was evaluated for
third time. Over 12 research scholars have been awarded Ph.D. degree and more than 18 research
scholars are pursuing Ph.D. and M.Sc. degree in Engineering. Over 250 technical papers in the reputed
journals and conferences are the outcome of active research of the department. The Department holds
a patent for Total Replacement of Sand in Concrete by Pond Ash (Patent No 244063). The department
has been actively involved in conducting conferences, workshops, FDPs, Site Visits, Project Tours
and several students related programs to provide a platform for sharing and spreading the latest
developments in the field of Civil Engineering.
