Introduction
One of the oldest and broadest Engineering disciplines, Civil Engineering involves planning,
designing, constructing, maintaining and supervising infrastructures which includes facilities
essential to modern life like highways, bridges and tunnels, schools, hospitals, airports and other
buildings, sewage systems and water treatment facilities. Subsequently, the course also involves
protecting public and environmental health as well as improving existing infrastructure.
Civil Engineers are the people who are responsible for managing the construction
projects. They are responsible for making the design of the project they are assigned whether it is
a transport project, a water or sewerage system project or more. They plan, design and then test
the structures before they are ready to be used by the public. The work starts from making
drawings, then choosing material for the project and then working on the design. They don’t have
to think about structure but also how the structure of the project will affect the surrounding. They
have to produce an economical, safe and environmentally stable structure for a particular project.
It is very important for civil engineer to do an internship from a company which gives the
experience of what civil engineers do in fields, it gives a lot of knowledge.
During site visit I was exposed to different construction methods and also had the
chance to observe the lineout, excavation work, damp proofing course (DPC) and brick work etc
for commercial building.
OBJECTIVES OF INTERNSHIP
4. Internship teaches young professionals about specific industries and companies they are

CHAPTER 1
Excavation
Excavation is the process of moving earth, rock or other materials with tools,
1. Topsoil excavation
This involves the removal of the exposed layer of the earth’s surface,
including any vegetation or decaying matter which could make the soil compressible and
therefore unsuitable for bearing structural loads. The depth will vary from site to site, but is
usually in a range of 150-300 mm.
2. Earth excavation
This involves the removal of the layer of soil directly beneath the topsoil. The
removed material (referred to as 'spoil') is often stockpiled and used to construct embankments
and foundations.
3. Rock excavation
This is the removal of material that cannot be excavated without using special
excavation methods such as drilling (by hand or with heavy machinery) or blasting with
explosives.
CHAPTER 2
Any reinforcement is not used inside the concrete so it is defined as the plain cement concrete.
The thickness of PCC is normally 50 to 100mm The ratio of cement, sand and coarse aggregate in
foundation or basement should be 1:3:6(M10) or 1:4:8(M7.5).
• Create formwork for PCC with wooden planks according to stipulated dimensions.
• Set the concrete softly from one side. Apply the mixed concrete within 30 minutes once the
water is added.
• The surface of PCC should be rough to combine future work prior to solidification of the
concrete.
CHAPTER 3
Foundation:
Foundation is the element of a structure which connects it to the ground, and transfers loads from
the structure to the ground.
3.1 Footing:
1. Isolated Footing:
A footing that supports an individual column is known as an isolated footing. This kind of footing
can be Pad, stepped, sloped or with isolated beam and slab. Where good soil is available, these
footings are economical.Use of Isolated Footing: Isolated footings are used as shallow foundation
in order to transfer concentrated loads to the ground.
2.Combined Footing:
A footing that supports two or more columns is known as a combined footing. It is used when two
or more columns are close to each other or two or more individual footings of a column would
overlap. Combined footing may be trapezoidal or rectangular in plan. A trapezoidal footing is
provided when the load of one column is greater than the other.
Use of Combined Footing: Combined footings are used to transfer loads of closely spaced column
to the ground or when the column face the boundary of plot.
Types of mesh:
1. Plain Mesh:
This type of Mesh is usually adopted in Plain or Isolated or combined footings. This type is
generally used in low-rise buildings. This type of Mesh is usually adopted in Plain or Isolated or
combined footings. This type is generally used in low-rise buildings.
It is similar to Plain footing. In this type the bars are bent at ends upto a height of footing.
Raft Mesh:
This type of Mesh is provided in Raft footing. Raft footing is adopted when soil bearing capacity
is very less. In this type, Mesh is divided into two parts, Top mesh and Bottom Mesh. Firstly, the
bottom mesh is provided on covering blocks, ends of a bottom mesh are bent at an angle of 90
degree up to a height of 50D where D is Dia of Bar. And then top mesh is tied to the bottom mesh
in reverse direction. Besides, the top mesh is similar to bottom mesh bent with 90 degrees but an
extra bar of 50D is not provided as it is already equipped on bottom mesh.
Chair
1. It retains the gap among the two bars as well as upper and lower cage reinforcement.
3. It improves the strength of the structure and retains the tension in RCC.
5. It reduces the scope for collapsing of the building because of the failure of compression and
tension zone.
7. The diameter of the bar should not be lower than 12 mm. Cutting length of chair
The height of the chair bar will be determined with the following formula :-
Height = Height of footing – (2 x clear cover) – (dia of bottom main bar) – (dia of top main bar +
dia of top distribution bar)
The head of the chair bar will be determined with the following formula :-
The leg of the chair bar will be determined with the following formula:-
CHAPTER 4
Cement
1. DATE OF PACKING
Date of manufacture should be seen on the bag. It is important because the strength of cement
reduces with age.
2. COLOUR
The cement should be uniform in colour. In generally, the colour of cement is grey with a light
greenish shade. The colour of cement gives an indication of excess lime or clay and the degree of
burning.
3. RUBBING
Take a pinch of cement between fingers and rub it. It should feel smooth while rubbing.
4. HAND INSERTION
Thrust your hand into the cement bag and it should give cool feeling. It indicates that no hydration
reaction is taking place in the bag.
5. FLOAT TEST
Throw a small quantity of cement in a bucket of water. It should sink and should not float on the
surface.
6. SMELL TEST
Take a pinch of cement and smell it. If the cement contains too much of pounded clay and silt as
an adulterant, the paste will give an earthy smell.
7. PRESENCE OF LUMPS
Open the bag and see that lumps should not be present in the bag. It will ensure that no setting has
taken place.
8. SHAPE TEST
Take 100g of cement and make a stiff paste. Prepare a cake with sharp edges and put on the glass
plate. Immerse this plate in water. Observe that the shape shouldn’t get disturbed while settling. It
should be able to set and attain strength.
CHAPTER 5
Sand
1. Take a glass of water and add some quantity of sand in it. Then shake it vigorously and allow it
to settle. If clay is present in sand, it will form a distinct layer at the top of sand.
2. Take a pinch of sand and taste it. If tasted salty then there exists some salt in sand.
3. Take sand and rub it against the fingers. If fingers are stained, it indicates that sand contains
earthy matter.
4. The colour of sand will indicate the purity of sand. The size and sharpness of grains may be
examined by touching and observing visually.
1. Sieve analysis
It divides the sand in four zones i.e from Zone I to Zone IV. Zone I–Sand being very coarse and
Zone 4 sand is very fine. It is generally recommended by code to use sands of zones I to Zone III
for Structural concrete works.
CHAPTER 6
Brick
1. Visual inspection
In this test bricks are closely inspected for its shape. The bricks of good quality should be uniform
in shape and should have truly rectangular shape with sharp edges.
2. Dimensional tolerance
Twenty bricks are selected at random to check measurement of length, width and height. These
dimensions are to be measured in one or two lots of ten each as shown in figure. Variation in
dimensions are allowed only within narrow limits, ±3% for class one and ±8% for other classes.
3. Hardness
In this test, a scratch is made on brick surface with the help of a finger nail. If no impression is left
on the surface, brick is treated as to be sufficiently hard.
4. Soundness
Two bricks are taken, one in each hand, and they are struck with each other lightly. A brick of
good quality should not break and a clear ringing sound should be produced.
5. Structure
A brick is broken and its structure is examined. It should be homogeneous, compact and free from
any defects such as holes, lumps etc.
1. Water absorption
5 bricks are taken and the bricks are weighed dry and the average dry weight of 5 bricks is
calculated. Bricks are then immersed in water for a period of 24 hours. After 24 hours of
immersion, bricks are weighed again and average of 5 bricks is calculated. The difference of the
final average weight and initial average weight indicates the amount of water absorbed by the
bricks. It should not in any case exceed 20percent of average weight of dry bricks.
2. Compressive strength
CHAPTER 7
Concrete
2. While placing concrete, the position of formwork and reinforcement should not get disturbed.
3. To avoid segregation, concrete should not be dropped from a height more than 1 meter.
4. As far as possible, the concrete should be placed in single thickness. In case of deep sections,
the concrete should be placed in successive horizontal layers and proper care should be taken to
develop enough bond between successive layers.
5. The concrete should be thoroughly worked around the reinforcement and tapped in such a way
that no honeycombed surface appears on removal of the formwork. The term honeycomb is used
to mean comb or mass of waxy cells formed by bees in which they store their honey. Hence, if
this precaution is not taken, the concrete surface so formed would have a honeycomb like surface.
6. The concrete should be placed on the formwork as soon as possible. But in no case, it should be
placed after 30 minutes of its preparation.
7. During placing, it should be seen that all edges and corners of concrete surface remain
unbroken, sharp and straight in line.
8. The placing of concrete should be carries out uninterrupted between predetermine construction
joints
CHAPTER 8
Curing
This is a widely used method of curing, particularly for structural concrete. Thus, exposed surface
of concrete is prevented from drying out by covering it with hessian, canvas or empty cement
bags. The covering over vertical and sloping surfaces should be secured properly. These are
periodically wetted. The interval of wetting will depend upon the rate of evaporation of water. It
should be ensured that the surface of concrete is not allowed to dry even for a short time during
the curing period.
2. Sprinkling of water
Sprinkling of water continuously on the concrete surface provides an efficient curing. It is mostly
used for wall and column . The concrete should be allowed to set sufficiently before sprinkling is
started. The spray can be obtained from a perforated plastic box. On small jobs sprinkling of
water may be done by hand.
3. Ponding method
This is the best method of curing. It is suitable for curing horizontal surfaces such as floors, roof
slabs, road and air field pavements. The horizontal top surfaces of beams can also be ponded.
After placing the concrete, its exposed surface is first covered with moist hessian or canvas. After
24 hours, these covers are removed and small ponds of mortar or sand are built .The area is thus
divided into a number of rectangles. The water is filled between the ponds. The filling of water in
these ponds is done twice or thrice a day, depending upon the atmospheric conditions. Though
this method is very efficient, the water requirement is very heavy. Ponds easily break and water
flows out.

1. That part of the foundation system which supports the exterior wall of the superstructure.
10.2 Ramp:
It is a flat surface whose endpoints are at different heights. By moving an object up an inclined
plane rather than completely vertical, the amount of force required is reduced.
CHAPTER 11
Flooring
Flooring is the general term for a permanent covering of a floor, or for the work of installing such
a floor covering. Floor covering is a term to generically describe any finish material applied over
a floor structure to provide a walking surface.
Sourcing of tile masons for paper joint is easy, because most of the tile masons have
experience in this system from many decades.
Additional tools like tile spacers are not required Tile grouting activity is simple and
consumption of tile grout is less; hence this system is economically better than spacer joints.
Disadvantages:
Since the minor dimensional variation is possible in tiles, paper joints often lead to unequal
gaps between the tiles. These gaps are not suitable for proper grouting. So, this leads to dust
collection.
Replacing the damaged tile is difficult, due to nearest tiles also can get damaged during the
rectification works.
It is very difficult to maintain line & level in the tile joints due to manufacturing variations.
Spacer Joint:
Placing tiles using spacers for maintaining equal tile joint is called as spacer joint.
Advantages:
Since the minor dimensional variation is possible in tiles, spacer joint helps in camouflage
those variations.
Replacing damaged tile is easy, because we can remove the particular tile without damaging
the nearest tiles.
Spacer joint is used for the purpose of uniformity in tile joints and for better finish; Aesthetic
appearance also improves.
Disadvantages:
Currently there are some shortage in trained/experienced tile masons who can work with
Spacer joint
This system requires additional tools like Spacers & additional material – grouts when
comparing with Paper joint.
Grouting is an additional activity here and mastering this activity is highly important; this
involves one or two days of extra work.

CONCLUSION
This training helped me to gain knowledge by experiencing various work took
place in the site. In this training I had an opportunity to witness various situations in site and
practically and innovatively overcome them. In brief I learned about various new construction and
plans technologies and more importantly I experienced the whole construction. This helped me in
clearing various theoretical and practical doubts and made me somewhat realize the future scope
of CIVIL Engineering.
