We work out the strongly interacting sector of a non-minimal Universal ExtraDimension (nmUED) scenario with one flat extra spatial dimension orbifolded onS^1/Z_2 in the presence of brane-localized kinetic and Yukawa terms. Oncompactification, these terms are known to have significant, nontrivial impacton the masses and the couplings of the Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations. We studythe masses of the level `1' KK gluon and the quarks and find the modifiedstrong interaction vertices involving these particles. The scenario conservesKK parity. Possibility of significant level-mixing among the quarks fromdifferent KK-levels is pointed out with particular reference to the top quarksector. Cross sections for various generic final states involving level `1'KK-gluon and KK-quarks from first two generations are estimated at the LargeHadron Collider (LHC) via an implementation of the scenario in MadGraph-5 withthe help of FeynRules. The decay branching fractions of both strong and weaklyinteracting KK excitations are studied to estimate yields in various differentfinal states involving jets, leptons and missing energy. These are used to putsome conservative constraints on the nmUED parameter space using the latest LHCdata. Nuances of the scenario are elucidated with reference to the minimalUniversal Extra Dimension (mUED) and Supersymmetry (SUSY) and theirimplications for the LHC are discussed.
