AMIE Section B Civil study plan
AMIE Section B Civil · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
Civil Engineering
Map the full AMIE Section B Civil syllabus into a one-page topic inventory and rank each topic by expected exam weighting
Derive and re-derive core structural analysis relations (shear force and bending moment diagrams, slope-deflection, moment distribution) from first principles without notes
Solve 15 numerical problems on determinate beams and trusses, timing each attempt and logging error types
Build a personal formula sheet limited to half a page per topic cluster
Your checkpoint
A dated syllabus inventory plus a 30-problem error log, with at least 15 beam and truss problems solved under timed conditions
Civil Engineering
Compute design loads and load combinations for a multi-storey frame using the relevant code provisions
Analyse indeterminate frames by moment distribution and check results against a stiffness-method solution
Interpret and sketch reinforcement detailing for a simply supported and a cantilever slab
Compare steel and concrete section capacities for a given span and loading
Your checkpoint
A worked design folder for one two-storey frame covering loading, analysis, and a member sizing check, with all assumptions stated
Civil Engineering
Classify soils by grain size and plasticity and derive the relevant index parameters from given test data
Compute effective stress profiles and seepage quantities for a layered deposit with a flow net
Evaluate bearing capacity and settlement for a shallow footing and compare with a pile alternative
Prepare a slope stability check using the method of slices on a simple geometry
Your checkpoint
A geotechnical calculation set for one site with a soil profile, effective stress plot, and footing versus pile recommendation
Civil Engineering
Apply continuity, momentum, and energy equations to pipe networks and open-channel reaches
Size a gravity sewer and a storm drainage line for given design flows
Determine hydraulic jump and specific energy conditions in a rectangular channel
Review water treatment and distribution fundamentals against the syllabus list
Your checkpoint
A hydraulics problem portfolio of 20 solved numericals, with a one-page summary of design criteria for drainage and distribution systems
Civil Engineering
Compute earthwork quantities and prepare a rate analysis for a major item of work
Draft a critical path network for a small project and identify float on each activity
Estimate unit rates from first principles for concrete, brickwork, and plastering
Reconcile a bill of quantities against a drawing take-off
Your checkpoint
A complete estimate and CPM schedule for a single-storey building, cross-checked between take-off and bill of quantities
Civil Engineering
Design a flexible and a rigid pavement for given traffic and subgrade conditions
Check geometric elements of a horizontal and vertical curve against design standards
Specify materials and mix proportions for asphalt and concrete pavement layers
Explain the role of drainage and maintenance in pavement performance
Your checkpoint
A transportation design report with one flexible and one rigid pavement design, plus a curve geometry check sheet
Civil Engineering
Solve 40 mixed-topic multiple-choice questions under a strict time limit and classify every error
Re-derive the ten formulas most frequently misapplied in earlier weeks
Rewrite weak-topic notes into a single condensed revision sheet
Explain aloud, in under three minutes each, the five concepts that caused the most errors
Your checkpoint
A timed mock test score report with an error taxonomy and a one-page condensed revision sheet
Civil Engineering
Complete two full-length timed mock papers and record scores by topic cluster
Close remaining gaps by reworking every missed question to a correct final answer
Rehearse exam-day logistics, time allocation, and question-selection strategy
Finalise a last-24-hour revision checklist limited to the highest-yield items
Your checkpoint
Two completed mock papers with full corrections and a final one-page exam-day strategy sheet
Milestones
Week 2: Solve a full indeterminate frame problem end to end within 45 minutes with no reference material, scoring at least 70 percent on a self-marked rubric
Week 4: Complete a 30-question mixed mock on structural, geotechnical, and hydraulic topics at 60 percent or above within the time limit
Week 6: Produce a full estimate and pavement design package and score at least 65 percent on a self-marked rubric covering accuracy and completeness
Week 8: Score 65 percent or above on both full-length mock papers, with no single topic cluster below 50 percent
