This document discusses different types of advanced civil engineering structures including multi-storey buildings, chimneys, dams, bridges, industrial structures, retaining walls, and hydraulic and marine structures. It provides brief descriptions of each type of structure, highlighting things like their purpose, common materials used, and important design considerations.

2. Different types of advanced civil engineering
structure
 Multi storeyed building
 Chimney
 Dams
 Bridges
 Industrial structures
 Retaining wall
 Hydraulic structure
 Marine structure

3. Multi storeyed building
 The tallness of a building is relative and can not be defined in
absolute terms either in relation to height or the number of stories.
But, from a structural engineer's point of view the tall building or
multi-storeyed building can be defined as one that, by virtue of its
height, is affected by lateral forces due to wind or earthquake or
both to an extent that they play an important role in the structural
design.
 The development of the high-rise building has followed the growth
of the city closely. The process of urbanisation, that started with the
age of industrialisation, is still in progress in developing countries
like India.

5. Chimney
 Chimneys or stacks are very important industrial structures for emission of
poisonous gases or smoke from a boiler, stove, furnace or fireplace to a
higher elevation such that the gases do not contaminate surrounding
atmosphere. These structures are tall, slender and generally with circular
cross-sections. Different construction materials, such as concrete, steel or
masonry, are used to build chimneys. Steel chimneys are ideally suited for
process work where a short heat-up period and low thermal capacity are
required. Also, steel chimneys are economical for height up to 45m.

7. Dams
 A dam is a hydraulic structure of fairly impervious material
built across a river to create a reservoir on its upstream side
for impounding water for various purposes.
 A dam and a reservoir are complements of each other.
 Dams are generally constructed in the mountainous reach of
the river where the valley is narrow and the foundation is good.
 Generally, a hydropower station is also constructed at or near
the dam site to develop hydropower.
 Dams are probably the most important hydraulic structure
built on the rivers. These are very huge structure and require
huge money, manpower and time to construct.

9. Bridges
 A structure built in order
to allow people or
vehicles to cross a river or
a valley etc. Bridges are
structures which carry
people and vehicles
across natural or man-
made obstacles

10. Industrial structures
 An industrial building is any structure that is used to store raw
materials or furnished goods from a manufacturing process or
house the process itself like:
 Food processing
 Chemical processing
 Paper and pulp industry
 Metals industry
 Powerplants
 Engineering industry
 Electronics industry or
 High bay storages

11. Retaining wall
 Retaining walls are
structure used to retain
soil, rock or other
materials in a vertical
condition. Hence they
provide a lateral support
to vertical slopes of soil
that would otherwise
collapse into a more
natural shape.

12. Hydraulic structures
 Canal head regulator
 Syphon
 Barrage

13. Syphon
 A canal can be conveyed below a
natural stream with the help of
structures like a super-passage or a
siphon. These are exactly opposite in
function to that of the aqueducts and
siphon aqueducts, which are used to
carry the canal water above the
natural stream. The natural stream is
flumed and made to pass in a trough
above the canal. If the canal water
flows with a free surface, that is,
without touching the bottom of the
trough, it is called a super-passage.
Else, when the canal passes below
the trough as a pressure flow, then it
is termed as a syphon or a canal
syphon.

14. Canal head regulator
 A canal obtains its share of
water from the pool behind a
barrage through a structure
called the canal head regulator.
Though this is also a regulation
structure for controlling the
amount of water passing into
the canal (with the help of
adjustable gates), it shall be
discussed under diversion
works (Module 4). In this
lesson, attention is focussed on
structures that regulate the
discharge and maintain the
water levels within a canal
network

15. Marine structures
 Docks
 Harbours
 Jetty

16. Harbours
 Ports and harbours conduct four
important functions:
administrative (ensuring that the
legal, socio-political and
economic interests of the state and
international maritime authorities
are protected), development (ports
are major promoters and
instigators of a country’s or wider
regional economy), industrial
(major industries process the
goods imported or exported in a
port), and commercial (ports are
international trade junction points
where various modes of transport
interchange; loading, discharging,
transit of goods).
