List of
suggestive core Experiments:
Students are expected to perform
minimum ten experiments from the list suggested
below by preferably selecting
experiments from each unit of syllabus.
1. To perform traverse surveying
with prismatic compass, check for local attraction and
determine corrected bearings and
to balance the traverse by Bowditch’s rule.
2. To perform leveling exercise
by height of instrument of Rise and fall method.
3. To measure horizontal and
vertical angles in the field by using Theodolite.
4. To determine (a) normal
consistency (b) Initial and Final Setting time of a cement
Sample.
5. To determine the workability
of fresh concrete of given proportions by slump test or
compaction factor test.
6. To determine the Compressive

parallelogram of forces.
10. To verify law of polygon of
forces
11. To find the support reactions
of a given truss and verify analytically.
12. To determine support reaction
and shear force at a given section of a simply
Supported beam and verify in
analytically using parallel beam apparatus.
13. To determine the moment of
inertia of fly wheel by falling weight method.
