the trial mixes for preparing the test specimens
required for testing.
I am well versed with the different types of concepts C.E.1.3.9

We had clear instructions towards maintaining high
research standards during the entirety of the project
and at no point did we presume our comfort over
quality of output as the project might serve as a
stepping stone in infrastructure endeavours where
even the most minor errors could prove to be
catastrophic.
I am quite proficient in both, written and spoken C.E.1.3.1
forms of English which help me communicate clearly C.E.1.3.11

about all of our actions and plans about the project.
I am always on the lookout for complex challenges C.E.1.3.5

Before the concrete was cast into moulds, I calculated
the slump value of the fresh concrete and also
insulated the inner surfaces of all the moulds using
tape so that the concrete does not get stuck to the
surface during the time of demoulding and the fresh
 concrete was cast into the moulds immediately after
mixing, in three layers for cubic and cylindrical
specimens. For compaction of the specimens, I gave
each layer 60 to 80 manual strokes using a rodding
bar, and then vibrated each of them for 12 to 15
seconds on a vibrating table.
