2 INTERNSHIP
2.1 Aim:
The internship aims to develop our skills to implement theoretical knowledge into
practical fields.
2.2 Objectives:
To orient us with the practical CE works.
To allow us to apply our theoretical knowledge into practical fields.
To let us gaining practical experience.
To let us understand the planning, design, drawing of construction.
Company: Singhania Buildcon PVT. LTD.
Project name: Harshit Landmark
2.3 My role:
Actually, I was assigned to work in the field with Mr. Gopal Adhikary, a construction
engineer, but I performed mainly for students because the field requires an experienced and
further specialised individual. So, in order to understand all of the work that civil engineers do,
I attempt to collaborate with and learn from construction engineer.
In general, I've been concentrating on the two portions indicated before. I divide my
work into two categories: office work and site work. The majority of the work I've done on the
site has been supervising, working as a site engineer, surveyor, and foreman.
The site job was a crucial assignment for me because it was the internship's major goal,
and I gained a lot of knowledge from it, such as communication skills, worker handling,
management skills and so on. Within three months, I will be able to see several of the project's
works.
The work task I have been executing at site is:
Supervising of works
Examining the worked element and how it functions
Examining the work using the check list provided.
Becoming familiar with survey work
Because site work in general takes precedence over supervision, I've been working as a
supervisor using the check list provided by our company. Every job must be double-checked
to see if it was completed according to the methodology provided by the contractor to the
3
consultant. If this is not the case, the contractor must explain why they did not carry out the
contract.
Controlling how the work was going on and supervising the work based on the check list
that was handed to me from the office was the site work I was doing. The checklist for site
supervisors was created to maintain a consistent method of supervision of building construction
projects and, as a result, to ensure construction quality. In the steps to the general terms, the
supervisor's responsibilities, liabilities, and limitations are briefly outlined in the checklist.
Construction details are detailed in the drawings, technical specifications, and the contract's
general and special conditions. My responsibility was to guarantee that the construction work
was completed in compliance with the contract specifications.

4.2.3 Layout and positioning of the central coordinate:
The grid drawing was used to indicate the centre point using a thread and plumb bob.
All other column points had to be determined in relation to this centre point, hence its precise
location is crucial.
4.2.4 Excavation:
Both manual and motorised excavation methods were used. Excavating the soil was
usually done by 1-2 earth excavators (JCBs). Excavation operations are carefully monitored to
ensure that adjacent structures are not harmed. Excavation is carried out with suitable side
slopes and excavation bottom dressing. Because the earth beneath the surface was too clayey
to be used for back filling, it was discarded. Filling is done in layers of no more than 20 cm
and then compacted. Excavation depth was 5'4" below ground level.

such a ground and water draining from it.
When it is impossible to avoid joints in a layer of concrete, the end is slanted at a 30
degree angle, and the junctions of various layers break the joint in laying the top layer of
concrete. Before the upper layer is applied, the lower surface is roughened and thoroughly
moistened.

4.2.7 Concrete:
Concrete is frequently employed in the construction of residential, commercial,
recreational, rural, and educational buildings. It's employed in a wide range of projects, from
single-family homes to multi-story business buildings and shopping malls. There are three main
types of materials.
Cement
Sand
Aggregate
11
In Harshit landmark we use M25 concrete for almost all structure.
4.2.8 Cement:
It's a binder, which is a substance that sets on its own and can bind materials together.
Cement is utilised in both hydraulic and non-hydraulic structure construction. Cement is most
commonly used as a component in masonry mortar and concrete, which is a mixture of cement
and aggregate that serves as a strong building material.
Types:
Portland Cement
Portland fly ash Cement
Portland Pozzolana Cement
Portland silica fume Cement
12
4.2.9 Sand:
It is a granular material made up of finely divided rock and mineral particles that occurs
naturally. Sand composition varies greatly based on the rock sources and conditions in the area.
Silica (or SiO2), usually in the form of quartz, is the most frequent component of sand.
4.2.10 Aggregate:
These are inert granular materials, such as sand, gravel, or crushed stone, that are used
in concrete along with water and cement.
The aggregates, which make up 60 to 70 percent of the overall volume of concrete, are
split into fine and coarse categories.
Natural sand or crushed stone are the most common fine aggregates, with the majority
of particles passing through a 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) sieve.
Coarse aggregates are any particles larger than 0.19 inch (4.75mm) sieve and typically
range in diameter from 9.5mm to 37.5mm.
Aggregates have a significant impact on the properties of freshly mixed and hardened
concrete, as well as mixing proportions and economy.
The following characteristics are taken into account when picking aggregate:
Grading
Durability
Particle shape and Surface texture
13
Abrasion and Skid resistance
Unit weights and voids
Absorption and surface moisture
4.2.11 Brickwork:
Brickwork is a type of masonry that uses bricks and mortar to construct partition walls.
All of the external and internal walls on our site were made of bricks. Depending on whether
the wall was 4.5 inches or 9 inches, a ratio of 1:4 (1 cement: 4 coarse sand) or 1:6 (1 cement:
6 coarse sand) was utilised. Two M.S. round bars or as indicated shall be used for
reinforcement. The bars were 8mm in diameter. The initial layer of reinforcement was applied
to the second course of brickwork, followed by every fourth course. Where the parts and or
where these walls intersect with other walls, the bars were appropriately fastened. The steel
reinforcement that had been installed was completely encased in mortar.
There are two sorts of bricks. These are the following:
14
4.2.11.1 Traditional Bricks:
A standard size of brick has been developed by an Indian standard institution, and this
type of brick is known as a modular brick. The standard brick size is 20*10*10 cm, however
the actual proportions are 19*9*9 cm. When compared to masonry with traditional bricks,
masonry with modular bricks works out to be less expensive because it saves on bricks, cement,
and labour.
In our site they use Fly Ash Brick of nominal size 23*11*7.5cm. Because it has more
compressive strength, less weight, economical, less water absorbent then the Red brick.
15
4.2.12 Reinforcement:
In concrete structures, steel reinforcements are typically utilised in the shape of circular
cross-section bars. In the human body, they are similar to a skeleton. Concrete that is not
reinforced with steel or other materials is strong in compression but weak in tension. Steel is
one of the best forms of reinforcement for absorbing stresses and strengthening concrete to
withstand a variety of loads. Mild steel bars complying to IS:432 (Part I) and cold-worked steel
high strength deformed bars conforming to I S: 1786 (grade Fe 415 and grade Fe 500, where
415 and 500 represent yield stresses of 415 N/mm2 and 500 N/mm2, respectively) are
extensively used. Nowadays, the grade Fe 415 is the most often utilised. Because of the higher
yield stress and bond strength, the use of plain mild steel bars has been limited, resulting in
steel quantity savings. Some businesses have incorporated properties to their thermo
mechanically treated (TMT) and corrosion resistant steel (CRS) bars.
The diameter of the bars varies from 6 to 50 mm. The diameter of cold-worked steel
high-strength deformed bars starts at 8 mm. Bars with a diameter of 6 to 20 mm are used in
most house structures. The importance of transverse reinforcements cannot be overstated. They
not only meet structural standards, but they also assist primary reinforcements in maintaining
their ideal position. They are extremely important when there are abrupt shifts or reversals of
stresses, such as earthquakes. They should be closely spaced and appropriately linked to the
main/longitudinal reinforcement, as shown in the drawing.
16
4.2.13 Terms Used In Reinforcement:
4.2.13.1 Bar-Bending-Schedule:
The schedule of reinforcement bars created in advance of cutting and bending rebars is
known as the bar-bending-schedule. This schedule specifies the size, form, and dimensions of
the rebars to be cut.
17
The cover blocks could be cubical or cylindrical in shape. Cover, on the other hand,
refers to the thickness of the cover block. Cover blocks for cubicles are commonly utilised. As
a rule of thumb, maintain a minimum cover of 2" in footings, 1.5" in columns, and 1" in other
structures.

4.2.15 Shuttering and Scaffolding:
4.2.15.1 Definition:
All forms, moulds, sheeting, shuttering boards, walrus, poles, posts, standards, and
leizers are included in the phrase 'SHUTTERING' or 'FORMWORK.' During the sheeting
process, V-Heads, struts, and structure, ties, prights, walling steel rods, bolts, wedges, and all
other temporary supports to the concrete are used.
4.2.15.2 Formwork:
Forms, moulds, and shutters are containers in which concrete is poured so that it will
solidify into the required shape or outline. The forms are removed once the concrete has
reached the required strength. Forms are typically formed of wood, plywood, steel, and other
similar materials. The effect of deflection generated by the weight of reinforcement and
concrete laid over it is usually countered by providing camber in the formwork for horizontal
members. Prior to the installation of reinforcement, the shuttering plates are properly
lubricated. The oil coating sandwiched between the concrete and the formwork surface not only
facilitates shuttering removal, but it also inhibits moisture loss from the concrete through
absorption and evaporation.
The steel formwork was planned and built according to the plans’ shapes, lines, and
proportions. All of the forms were sufficiently watertight to prevent mortar leakage. The forms
were built in such a way that they could be removed in portions. Except when vibrators were
utilised, one side of the column forms was left open and the open side was filled in board by
19
board as the concrete was put and compacted. At the end of each casting, a key was formed in
concrete columns of sufficient size to provide adequate bonding to columns and walls in
accordance with required IS.
Before the concrete was laid, all waste, particularly chippings, shavings, and saw dust,
was cleaned from the interior of the steel forms. To prevent adhesion between form work and
concrete, the form work in contact with it was cleaned and properly wetted or treated with an
approved composition. It was made sure that the authorised composition did not come into
touch with the reinforcement.
4.2.15.4 Design:
The formwork should be designed and built in such a way that the concrete can be laid
properly and compacted thoroughly to achieve the desired shape, location, and levels.
20
touch with the reinforcement while it is in place. During concreting and during the
duration of its stay in place, the formwork is kept completely wet.
The formwork is thoroughly evaluated prior to the start of concrete pouring to ensure the
following:
Brushing and washing away all dirt, shavings, sawdust, and other waste.
The tightness of the sheathing panel joints, as well as the joints between these and any
hardened core.
The proper placement of tie bar bracing and spacers, as well as bracing connections.
That all wedges are securely fastened and in place.
That traffic on the formwork does not bear directly on the reinforcement steel.
As the work progressed to the top levels, the plumb-bob was used to examine all of the
frames outside columns for plumb. Internal columns were tested for precise position by taking
measurements from the outer row of columns. Jacks were used to elevate the props, or
supporting rods.
21
4.2.15.7 Stripping Time or Removal of Form Work:
Forms were not struck until the concrete had reached a strength that was at least twice
the stress that the concrete might be subjected to when the formwork was removed. The
strength in question is that of concrete made with the same cement and aggregates in the same
proportions and cured under identical temperature and moisture conditions as those found on
the job. In typical conditions, form work was left longer when it was required.
The formwork was removed in such a way that no stress or vibration was transmitted
to the concrete. The concrete surface was exposed before the props were removed to ensure
that the concrete had sufficiently set. When an element's shape is such that form work has re-
entrant angles. To avoid shrinkage cracking due to the restraint imposed, the form work was
removed as soon as possible after the concrete had set. When the temperature rises beyond 20
degrees, the following time limitations should be observed:

5 CONCRETE TESTS
5.1 Types:
There are four main tests to be done on concrete:
1. The Slump Test.
2. Compression Test.
3. Impact Test.
4. Cube Test.
24
A SLUMP of concrete is the subsidence of concrete at the peripheral.The slump value
of concrete is the height difference in millimetres between the height of subsidence
concrete and the height of the mould cone.
The test is carried out using 150mm concrete cubes on a Universal testing machine or
compressive testing machine.
5.3.1.2 Apparatus:
As per IS: 516-1959 Compressive testing machine (2000KN), 15cm * l5cm * 15cm
steel cube moulds or Cylinder having Dia. 15cm And length 30cm are used.
25
5.3.1.3 PROCEDURE:
26
5.4 Impact Test:
Due to movement of vehicle on the road the aggregates are subjected to impact resulting
in their breaking down into smaller pieces. The aggregates should therefore have sufficient
toughness to resist their disintegration on due to impact. This characteristics is measured by
impact value test.
The aggregate impact value is a determining measure of resistance to sudden impact or
shock, which may differ from its resistance to gradually applied compressive load.
The test sample: normally aggregates sized 10.0 mm to 12.5 mm. the aggregates should
be dried by heating at 100-110 °C for a period of 4 hours and cooled.
Sieve the material through 12.5mm and 10.0 mm IS sieves. The aggregates passing
through 12.5 mm sieve comprises the test material.
Then, just 1/3rd depth of measuring cylinder is filled by aggregate by pouring.
27
Compact the material by giving 25 gentle blows with the rounded end of the tamping
rod in the cylinder.
Two more layers are added in a similar manner, to make cylinder full.
Strike off the surplus aggregates.
Determine the net weight of the aggregates to the nearest gram (Wl).
Bring the impact machine to rest without wedging or packing upon the level plate, block
or floor, so that it is rigid and hammer guide columns are vertical.
25 gentle strokes with tamping rod are used to compact the test sample by fixing the
cup firmly in position on the base of the machine with placing the
After that raise the hammer until its lower face is 380 mm above the surface of the
aggregate in the cup and allow it to fall freely on the aggregate sample. 15 such blows
at an interval of not less than one second between successive falls are acted on it.
Remove the crushed aggregate from the cup and sieve it through 2.36 mm IS sieves
until no further significant amount passes in one minute. Weight the fraction passing
the sieve to an accuracy of 1g (W2). The fraction retained in the sieve is weighted.
Note down the observations in the preform and compute the aggregate impact value.
The ‘Aggregate Impact Value’ is the mean of two observations, rounded to a nearest
whole number.

6 CONCLUSION
The internship serves as a link between academic knowledge and practical or real-world
employment in the construction or civil engineering fields. The hosting company's role is to
instruct students and mould them into real-world site workers. My hosting company is a
contractor team that assists me in gaining diverse skills in various roles.
This programme helped to disprove the myth that field work can only be done by students
with a degree or by persons who have worked in the construction industry. We were able to
gain a high level of trust in our ability to cope with challenges that develop during the
construction of a structure.
Overall, the internship programme provided us with a solid platform on which to begin
our careers. We are honoured to have been able to contribute to nation-building during such a
key era in the country's history. Scaling up and replicating this method in other fields will be
extremely beneficial.
