Figure 1.2.Flowchart
This site has consisted two blocks of the same structural integrity. Mat, combined, and isolated
types of foundations had been executed. Thus, they excavated the soil in both bulky, and pit
forms. Expansion joints have been used to differentiate the blocks.
And for the concrete road a special concrete type which has its own mix ratio and for lean
concrete C-5 is used.
After the mixing process is completed in the batching plant the fresh concrete is transported by
Truck Mixers to the required place. In the concrete there are different types of admixture are
added to for different purpose. For instance „repair mortar‟ is added to concrete to made the
ground more level and avoid crack.

2.4.3.3 Types of Column
Column: - is a structural element that transmits, through compression, the weight of the structure
above to other structural elements below. In other words, a column is a compression member.
Columns are frequently used to support beams or arches on which the upper parts of walls or
ceilings rest.
Form work
“Catcher”
Shape: Solid, hollow, laced, battened, rectangular, square, circular, octagonal, hexagonal,
hollow, fluted, ornamental columns like ionic, Doric, Corinthian single stepped, double stepped,
rolled shape, or built up with plates,
Structural configuration: braced, unbraced, fixed base columns, pinned base columns, short
columns, long columns (based on slenderness)
Based on length and breadth of Conventional Slab is classified into two types:
1. One-Way Slab
2. Two-Way Slab
“Cristy”
2.4.7 Surveying
In the site surveying work is decisive work sector because for instance to place, grade and
compact select material to check the level of the colons, in the construction of the concrete road,
trench and pit excavation, levelling work, steel structure work, ditch lines, septic tanks, sanitary
lines are among works which highly require the aid of the surveying work(total station, and
levelling) on the other hand when participating in surveying work since it will touch different
work types help to collect additional skill on the other work fill.
Introduction
There were lots of benefits that I have gained from my internship program. Since it was my first
practical experience everything there was new and important to me. I mentioned the benefits in
terms of:
Practical skills
Theoretical knowledge
Interpersonal communication skills
Team playing skills
Leadership skills
Work ethics related issues
Entrepreneurship skill
3.1 Benefits I gained in terms of improving my practical skills
This program gave me many opportunities to test and refine my skills. To make theoretical
knowledge applicable and to make it practical skill there should be a chance like this. This
program helps me to build and improve my confidence in construction tasks. Some of the things
that help me to improve my practical skills are:
Different site works are performed continuously that I have learned in theoretical classes.
The theoretical lessons that I take before the internship.
My motivation and ambition to know for new things.
The best relation I have had with the site crew.
3.2 Benefits I gained in terms of upgrading my theoretical
knowledge
This program helped me to strengthen my theoretical knowledge. All the courses I have had
taken except some of them, focused on theoretical part. Since the practice depends first on
theory, it is easy to work for the one having good theoretical base. In addition to that when I was
Finally, internship was fun and therefore the students have to encourage Debre Tabor University
to continue giving students this opportunity to do their academic requirement of internship from
industrial organization.
