TX4015 Textiles in Civil Construction and Transportation Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021
OBJECTIVES
To enable the students to learn about
Textiles used for civil construction and transportation applications and their functional requirements and
Evaluation of textile materials used for civil construction and transportation applications.
UNIT I GEO TEXTILES I
Geo textile – definition, types, functions; types of fibers and fabrics used in geo textiles; applications of natural fibers in geo-textiles; joining of geo- textiles
UNIT II GEO TEXTILES II
Usage of geo-synthetics in civil engineering applications as filters, reinforcement, separation and drainage medium; material specifications and design criteria of geo-synthetics for specific applications
UNIT III ARCHITECTURE TEXTILES
Fiber and fabric property requirements for architecture textiles; coated textiles; Tents, Awnings and Canopies; Inflatable structures – high pressure and low pressure inflatable structures; textile for roofing applications; acoustic and heat insulation textiles; floor and wall covering, scaffolding nets
UNIT IV TRANSPORTATION TEXTILES
Quality and design of textile materials used in automobiles – tire cord, filter, air bag, belt, seat cover, noise insulation; design and development of textile reinforced composites in automobile, marine and aeronautic industry.
UNIT V EVALUATION
Evaluation of textile material used in civil construction and transportation industry in terms of performance, construction survivability and durability
