1. Alternatives in concrete production.

2. Environmental problems.

3. Soil problems.

For the structural Eng. you can focus on the design of multi-story building ( its one of the very common topics but it will help you understanding the concept of design all together in one project) or you can implement a simple experimental work about different technique of strengthening structural elements.

Regard to material projects, you can try to study the properties of advance concrete and the different among many types.

For the geotechnical Eng. , I think grouting of soil or strengthening of weak soil is a good topic.

In general, try to choose simple topic that gather many ideas in one project.

Thanks

Hi dear Dildar Ali

As Phd Mr Zuhair Al-Jaberi said, multi-story building is one of the common subjects for BS student in Civil engineer, but i want to suggest you that started to learn dynamics of structures. in addition subjected like green concretes is the other subjects that you can evaluate that.

Hello,

I can suggest to work on the structural analysis and design of a multi-story reinforced concrete building

The building can be a residential, office, hospital, governmental,...

You can work also on a warehouse building made of steel structure...

In case you want to work on an experimental project, i can suggest to work on the incorporation of recycle material in the concrete mixtures.

If you have a soil mechanics lab in your university, you can make soil investigation for a zone in your city.

Since I left University, I have seen that some environmental protection topics have been included in the study programmes: specially related to water, soils and new building materials. Other new topics are waste valorisation, life-cycle materials, infrastructures maintenance and applied NDT (Non destructive Techniques). Civil Engineering is so broad that you can find new fields easily.

Hi everyone,

my University lecturing of structural engineering classes (3th +4th year)

• Theory of Structures with Structural Analysis and Engineering Mechanics
• Design of Reinforced/Pre-stressed Concrete
• Design of Steel and Timber
• Design of Bridges – Bridge Engineering
• Design of Buildings with: Design of Masonry, Wind load Action and Contemporary Steelwork Buildings.

Following my consultation / supervision of final year students to achieve a bachelor (Sci.) thesis for various research and design projects within the Civil/Structural engineering field, with topics such as:

· Design of a Wind Turbine Tower and Foundation System.

· Design of a Green Residential House.

· The Effects of Wind Loads on Cable-Stayed Bridges.

· Design of Structural Elements of an Office Building with 3D Modeling with Structural Analysis and Design with RC Detailing.

· Preliminary Design of a Bridge in a Developing Community.

· Structural Analysis & Design with Integrity Check of the Dome of a BIOGAS

DIGESTER.

· A Comparative Study of the Steelwork Codes of South Africa and EUROCODE.

You can go for research on special concreting materials replacing new additives

I suggest to design / analysis steel truss bridge.

Or you may go to high performance concrete, using reability concept

I can suggest to work out the soil properties from the fundamentals of soil mechanics by applying latest tools . The formulas should be simple and the site application must be easy. In other words simplifying soil investigating methods by latest technologies or with simple hand tools.

Soil Injection Grouting and Dynamic Compaction are appropriate topics for strengthening relatively loose soil conditions, to allow for corresponding foundation design. Stone Columns (in-ground) via Dynamic Compaction means are also useful. Otherwise Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) are good topics to know. I recommend you choose one main area of great interest to you and explore the possibilities :). Best Wishes.

It will be interesting for you to consider optimal performance of innovative civil / structural engineering materials such as CFRP in High, Medium and Low Strength Concrete when reinforced with them and including SCC using laboratory and numerical experimentation.

I suggest you to propose a new Performance Based Seismic Design Methodology . Moreover, find inelastic displacement ratio of MDOF system.

Dear Syed. This is good too, but I think it will be more appropriate after the BEng level but appropriate at the graduate and post graduate levels. This is because there is need for adequate time to understand the various intrigues of performance- based design formats and formulations, since engineering is not an abstract science, but an applied science.

Undergraduate project topics should aside from solving or probing into local challenges, it should include solutions for both global and futuristic challenges that may be thought about at any time due to current actions in the environment, waste management / recycling and including both property and public safety in order to justify associated investments.

Green building technology

In B.S Engineering, the objective of the project work is to imbibe amongst the students a flair for research. You must choose the area in which you are most interested. All the areas stipulated by you in your question are very wide in themselves. My advice to you: is you should work for the area in which you intend to pursue further studies leading to M S and PhD

If you are interested in Environmental engineering, Green buildings, waste management, Air pollution Control, EIA are important study areas. If you are interested in Geo technical Engineering, reinforced earth wall, improving bearing capacity of soil, ground improvement, seismic design are important areas of research and so on....

All the answers given by experts are significant. If you want I can add many. But you must determine yourself the area of your interest yourself

Health monitoring of structures on elastic soil foundations. This is wide but a streamlining from your undergrad supervisor will give you a head start even to Phd level. Thanks.
