Civil engineering interview questions

if only 1 slab of a floor get sagged, how could be it repaired? 2. if any

footing gives the cube result, after 28 days less than 16 n/mm2 in
spite of 20 n/mm2 what are the remedies ?
Answer
# 2.if it is a big footing we cannot remove and redo. so remove the top
200mm concret by chiping and use proper bonding agents and
introduce few more rebars through the colomn and anchor them to the
old footing and change the shape of the footing to a triangular shape
with rebars and re concrete the top surface and additional care to be
taken at the time of casting plinth beam it is better to redesign the plinth
beam to take more load which the coloum will carry. Note. check the mix
design and use skilled manpower while casting cubes at site. also place
them in water immediately after removing from moulds (delay in this
activity will also cause cube failure)
2 2 reasons for saging.1) bad staging/supports. 2) bad design. any hw if
it sagged it does noteffect the next slab casting we can cast the next
one. as far as repairing of 1st slab is consern we should have a
graphical representation of sag and find out the lowest level and highest
level plot them and with the help of this date we can fix the floor level
ilttle elevated than planned and the sagged area should be concreted
(screed concret) with good mix as per site condition.
If on-site slump test fails, should engineers allow the contractor to
continue the concreting works?
The first school of thought is rather straightforward: the contractor
fails to comply with contractual requirements and therefore as per
G. C. C. Clause 54 (2)(c) the engineer could order suspension of
the Works. Under the conditions of G. C. C. Clause 54(2)(a) (d),
the contractor is not entitled to any claims of cost which is the main
concern for most engineers. This is the contractual power given to
the Engineer in case of any failure in tests required Engr. Salman
Ali Syed Saudi Electricity Company by the contract, even though
some engineers argue that slump tests are not as important as
Other tests like compression test.
The second school of thought is to let the contractor to continue
their concreting works and Later on request the contractor to prove
that the finished works comply with other contractual requirements
e.g. compression test. This is based upon the belief that workability
is mainly required to achieve design concrete compression
strength. In case the compression test also fails, the contractor
should demolish and reconstruct the works accordingly. In fact, this
is a rather passive way of treating construction works and is not
recommended because of the following reasons:
If on-site slump test fails, should engineers allow the contractor to
continue the concreting works?

(i) Workability of freshly placed concrete is related

not only to strength but also to durability of
concrete. Even if the future compression test
passes, failing in slump test indicates that it may
have adverse impact to durability of completed
concrete structures.
(ii) In case the compression test fails, the
contractor has to deploy extra time and resources
to remove the work and reconstruct them once
again and this slows down the progress of works
significantly. Hence, in view of such likely
probability of occurrence, why shouldnt the
Engineer exercise his power to stop the contractor
and save these extra time and cost?

# 1 Nominal mix is the some ratio are fixed by Is code india. and design mixed is the ratio
fixed by considering avilable material, strength and enviornment. 2.Structural design means
design a structure ( means skeleton of a body ) of thing 3.spt- standard penetration text Least
count of theodolite is 0 degree 0 min 5"( second)
Nominal mix are as just specified in is codes. Design mix ratio is fixed by considering the
load of the structure and the quality of materials .nominal mix eg:M10 to M25 Design Mix eg:
M30 onwards 2.structural design mean the details of reinforcement and the mix of concreting
5. some time we have to provide extra bars as per the design for carrying the load .Generally
in simply supported beam at mid span it is provided on the bottom and end at top

 Method of findingthe dry ingredient quantity of 1 m3 concrete. Answer
# 4 Estimating Quantities of material needed. 1. Calculate the volume of concrete needed. 2.
Estimate the total volume of dry material by multiplying the required volume of concrete by
1.65 to get the total volume of dry loose material needed (this includes 10% extra to
compensate for losses). 3. Add the numbers in the volumetric proportion that you will use to
get a relative total. This will allow you later to compute fractions of the total needed for each
ingredient. (i.e. 1:2:4 = 7). 4. Determine the required volume of cement, sand and gravel by
multiplying the total volume of dry material (Step 2) by each components fraction of the total
mix volume (Step 3) i.e. the total amount cement needed = volume of dry materials * 1/7. 5.
Calculate the number of bags of concrete by dividing the required volume of cement by the
unit volume per bag of cement (0.0332 m3 per 50 kg bag of cement or 1 ft3 per 94 lb bag).
For example, for a 2 m x 2 m x 10 cm thick pump pad: 1. Required volume of concrete = 0.40
m3 2. Estimated volume of dry material = 0.4 x 1.65 = 0.66 m3 3. Mix totals = 1+2+4 = 7
(1:2:4 cement:sand:gravel) 4. Ingredient Volumes: 0.66 x 1/7 = .094 m3 cement 0.66 x 2/7 =
.188 m3 sand 0.66 x 4/7 = .378 m3 gravel 5. # Bags of cement: 0.094 m3 cement / .0332 m3
per 50 Kg bag = 2.83 bags of cement (use three bags)
soppose, concrete mix ratio = 1:1.5:3 then, sum = 1+1.5+3 = 5.5 as we know,dry material
required for 1 cum. of concrete = 1.54 cum. then we can find -: (1) cement = 1*1.54/5.5 = .28
cum. or .28cum.* 28.8= 8.06 bags. (2) sand = 1.5* 1.54/5.5 = .42 cum. or .42cum.* 35.3 =
14.83 cubic feet. (3) coase aggregate = 3* 1.54/5.5 = .84 cum. or .84 cum.* 35.3 = 29.65
cubic feet. so, dry ingredient quantity required for 1 m3 of concrete-: cement = 8.06 bags.
sand = 14.83 cft. coarse aggregate = 29.65 cft. do not forget to add 5 to 8 % addition
matreial.
 bridge design Answer
# 1 bridge design..first we have to make the general layout
of a span of a bridge.then cross beams and longitudinal
beams are placed at suitable spacing and their size is also
assumed. steps 1.calculate clear span and dead loads like
due to slab and wearing coat 2.calculate bending
moments. 3.using pigeadus curve calculate moments
4.load dispersion due to wheel of train is calculated. class
A or class AA is used.now a daya class A IS commonly
used. 5.live load moments calculated. 6.check for shear is
also done
First we study about the location, catchment area and
preliminay survey after that if necessay to provide the
bridge. we go to soil investigation and study the report,
afterthat design.
 during earth quake base shear force=a/w*g
Comment? Answer
# 2 Generally earthquakes occur only when there
is a gap or vaccum between 2 layers
underneath.there are many reasons for a earth
quake to occur, but here in this case we take in
reason told above.'a' stands for the area under
which the vaccum occurs,and 'w' stands for the
weight of the part under which vaccum is created,
and that part is pulled by earth's gravity,so the
base shear force is (area/weight of the
part)multiplied by the gravity of the earth(9.8).
 In case of a beam ,main steel is provided along
the longer span because, bending moment is
directly proportional to length but why in case of
one way slab main steel is provided along shorter
span while as bending takes place along longer
span?comment Answer
# 4 BECAUSE IN CASE OF ONE WAY SLAB THE
LOAD IS TRANSFERED THROUGH THE SHORTER
SPAN ONLY. AND IT IS POSSIBLE TO DESIGN IT
(MAI STEEL) ALONG LONGER SPANS TOO BUT
THE STEEL REQUIREMENT WILL BE MORE AND
HENCE IT WILL NOT BE VIABLE SOLUTION.9THIS
IS THE MAIN REASON.
 In case of a beam ,main steel is provided along the longer
span because, bending moment is directly proportional to
length but why in case of one way slab main steel is
provided along shorter span while as bending takes place
along longer span?comment Answer
# 5 beam is design considering 1m widh .in case of one way slab
,due to the compression in concrete above the neutral axis it
expand and contract tension zone below axis.so the shape of the
slab do not remaining rectangular but becomes trapezoidal.so in
order keep it remain rectangular the remaining concrete develop
stress in opposite direction due to which a secondary moment is
induced in the slab(negative moment)so the reinforcement is
done along shorter span. Is This Answer Correct ? 1 Yes 0

how to increase bearing capacity of
soil?
1. The bearing capacity of soil is increased by cement and lime grouting method, in which cement or lime is
add with the soil which increase the bearing capacity of soil this is more commonly used in ROAD
projects, this process is known as GROUTING METHODER.
2. Bearing capacity of soils can be increased by compaction and grouting methods.
3. Another alternative way to increase bearing capacity of soil is, by using carbon nano tube (cnt), which is
add to the soil. The surface area of the cnt will stregthen the soil even if we use in small quantity.
4. yes, but ground improvement technics are adapted for location of site
5. A method for increasing the bearing capacity of foundation soils for built structures consisting of providing
a plurality of holes spaced from each other deep in the soil, and injecting into the soil, through the holes,
a substance which expands as a consequence of a chemical reaction, with a potential increase in volume
of at least five times the volume of the substance before expansion. The expansion of the substance
injected into the soil produces compaction of the contiguous soil.
6. To improve the bearing capacity of soil, one of the following methods can be used.
1. Vibro Floatation Technique
2. Repalce the existing soil with road base materials and compact in layers to attain the required bearing
capacity of soil.
3. Replace the existing soil with cement mix soil and compact in layers with water to attain the required
bearing capacity.
4. Vibro Replacement Technique
Why we do design mix of concrete when there is
nominal method using the IS-Code available ?
to save an optimum content of cement, from 7.5 to 8 bags
of cement to 6.6 bags of cement per CuM
to achieve economy and safety
To acheive best possible concrete with the ingredients
available at particular location design mix is used.
to ensure required |Target Mean Strength by controlling the
parameters of aggregate,sand and water accurately ....n
also to design higher grade of concrete ... ....incase of
nominal mis method(say),M15 means 15mpa
comp.srength on 28 days using 1:2:4 proportions without
considering various conditions of conareting materials
...the same will be rectified in design mix . simply nominal
mix is blind technique where as design mix is live n vibrant
method of mix design in concrete technology to achieve
anticipated TMS.
 what is the design mix of M5 m means the number of mix & 5 refers to the
strength of concrete block of size 150x150x150 mm after curing of 28days.
Important term in the question is "Design mix".

You see there is a term "Nominal mix" in concrete which is pertaining to certain
standards and thumbrules with respect to properties of concrete materials such
as aggregate, sand, cement, water and admixtures.

However in order to get the most economic/workable mix of the concrete, it is
designed and tested in different proportions by having taken care of exact
physical & chemical properties of the ingredients.That is called the design mix of
any grade of concrete.
Now normally M5 is used in PCC and hence design mix is not done for the same
but for grades M15 and above.
what is the design mix of M5 m means grade of concrete refers to the strength
of concrete block of size 150x150x150 mm after curing of 28days. which is called
as M5 M=mega pascal = N/mm2 or M5=5 N/mm2

In case of a beam ,main steel is provided along the longer span because,
bending moment is directly proportional to length but why in case of one
way slab main steel is provided along shorter span while as bending takes
place along longer span?comment
in beam the breadth is small so no need for
distributionreinforcement,but in slab load will not be
distributed like beam....
The primary load transfer direction will be in the
shorter span and as a result large negative bending
moments will occur at these supports. Therefore
reinforcing steel is required to cross these supports
rather than the ones with less load transfer, which
occur in the supports with longer span.
The Bending moment in Oneway slab along shorter
span is much lesser than the longer span. It
proportional to the square of the span of the slab.
Even we can have main steel along the longer span
but it leads to uneconomical.
 what is anchorage? Why anchoring of reinforcing
bars necessary and what are the shapes ?
Anchoring of reinforcing bars is necessary when
the development length of the reinforcement is
larger than the structure. Anchorage is used so
that the steel's intended tension load can be
reached and pop-outs will not occur. Anchorage
shapes can take the form of 180 or 90 degree
hooks.

L&T 5 As an engineer, what u should do when the construction of a building doesn't meet the
required specifications? 5 What is softsoil? what kind of foundation? 6 what is coping? 7
What is softsoil? what kind of
foundation?
Soft soil is that cannot take heavy load coming from the super structure.
Also having low soil bearing capacity, like black cotton soil The type of
foundation used for soft soils are RAFT FOUNDATIONS
If the soil is soft then as per the soil report one shold find till what depth
do you find a hard rock strata, the foundation also depends on the total
height of the super structure and the load capacity therefore one can
use the combination of Pile and raft foundation i.e take a group of piles
at the positon of the Columns and above that one can have a raft.
if the size of the soil particles is lees than .0075 mm then soil is called
soft soil, even by touching the soil u can feel that softness. The type of
foundation used for soft soils are PILE FOUNDATIONS. They suit them
the most for the reason they are economicaland take load to the greater
depths where there is a strong strata.
Soft soil is that cannot take heavy load coming from the super structure.
Also having low soil bearing capacity, like black cotton soil, clay. For
shallow foundation raft, continuous foundation is good. For deep
foundation pile foundation is preferable.

The best design for building bridges is the one that meets all or most of
the needs of the client. This includes cost, environmental concerns,
ease of construction, aesthetics, availability of materials & labor,
geologic conditions and construction schedule. The ability to analyze
various types of structures, materials, and construction technics is
important so that one can arrive at a sensible
conclusion\reccomendation.
the best design for bridges is that which considers the environmental
conditions,economic factors,availability of constuction materials as well
asavailability of manpower
