MATERIALS
2.1MATERIALS USED AT SITE

At the construction site following materials were being used:
2.1.1 Cement:
Cement is a binder material a substance used for construction that sets, hardens and adheres to
other material to bind them together. Cement mixed with fine aggregates produces MORTOR for
masonry and mixed with sand and gravel produces CONCRETE. Cement used in construction
are usually inorganic, often lime or calcium silicate. Quality of cement is based on grade of
cement. The grade of cement are: 33 grade,43 grade,53 grade. At the site Portland cement of 53
grade is used. The initial setting time of cement =30 min and final setting time of cement =
below 10 hrs.
FIG 2.1(a) CEMENT
2.1.2Aggregates:
Aggregate is a broad category of course to medium grained particulate material used in

construction, including sand, gravel, crushed stone.
Types of aggregates: fine and coarse aggregate.
Fine aggregate, which passes through 4.75mm and retains of 75 mics IS sieve are used in
concrete mix is to fill up the voids existing in the coarse aggregate and to obtain a dense
and strong concrete with less quantity of cement and increase the workability of the
concrete mix.
Coarse aggregate, which passes through 75mm and retains on 4.75mm IS sieve. Gravel
constitute the majority of course aggregate used in concrete with crushed stone making
up most of the remainder.

FIG 2.1(b) AGGREGATES
2.1.3 M sand:
Manufactured sand is a substitute of river sand for concrete construction. M Sand is
produced from hard granite stone by crushing. The crushed sand is of cubical shape with
grounded edges, washed and graded to as a construction material. The size of M Sand is
less than 4.75mm
FIG 2.1(c) M SAND

2.1.6 Reinforcement:
The material that develops a good bond with concrete in order to increase its strength is called
reinforcement.Steel bars are highly strong in tension, shear, bending moment, torsion and
compression.
Function of reinforcement:
Reinforcement working as a tension member because concrete is good in compression

and week in tension so reinforcement resists the tensile strength in the concrete
members. At the site high strength steel bars and T.M.T (Thermo mechanically treated)
bars of diameter 8mm, 12mm, 16mm, 20mm, 25mm, 32mm is used as per requirement
of design. The bars were of grade Fe500D were used. The bars were of brand TATA
TISCON. The main reason of using steel bars in RCC is that, the co-efficient of thermal
expansion of steel bars and concrete is of approximately equal value .
FIG 2.1(f) Fe-500D STEEL FIG 2.1(g) TEST CERTIFICATE
2.1.7 Gypsum Plaster:
When dry POP powder is mixed with water it hardens. This material which can be
applied over brick, block or concrete surface to form a smooth surface is called gypsum
plaster. Earlier, a 6 mm coat of gypsum plaster (termed as POP punning) is usually
applied on the top of cement plaster to give a smooth finish to it before painting.This
process is slowly being replaced by a direct application of single coat of gypsum plaster.
In gypsum plaster, readymade POP powder is mixed with water & applied directly on
wall. Gypsum plaster has good insulation properties, fire resistant and impact resistant

5.3 CURING
Curing of concrete is defined as the process of maintaining the moisture content and
temperature conditions of concrete for hydration reaction to normally so that concrete
develops hardened properties over time. The main components which need to be taken
care are moisture, heat and time during curing process. The curing process is vital to
quality and has a strong influence on concrete properties such as durability, strength,
water tightness, resistance, volume and freezing and thawing resistance.
Types of curing
• Covering Concrete Surfaces with Gunny Bags.
• Sprinkling of Water.
• Ponding Method.
• Membrane Curing.
• Steam Curing.
Ponding curing:
In ponding method, small rectangular or square artificial ponds are built with using
bunds of clay or lean mortar along the concrete surface. This method is commonly used.
FIG 5.3(a) POND CURING

Page | 32
Curing using gunny bags:
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 gunny bags
to retain water. The covering over vertical and sloping surfaces should be secured
properly. These are periodically wetted.
FIG 5.3(b) CURING USING GUNNY BAGS
• As per the IS Standards the curing time of concrete is 28days until it achieves its
nominal strength.
• Minimum of 7 days and 14 days of curing should be done for columns , slabs.
• Most of concrete reaches approximately 80% of its compressive strength within
7 days.
• If concrete does not contain fly ash, GGBS, micro silica, the slab needs to be
cured for a minimum period of 7 days. If they contain this compound it should
be cured for 14 days.
• To prevent surface damage, concrete should be covered with the fabric as soon as it
has hardened.
• The entire surface including the edges and joints of the slab should be kept covered
so that these parts are not left inadequately cured.
• The fabric retains water for a great period of time. Therefore, the fabric must always
be kept wet or moist so that concrete surface is in contact with water throughout the
curing period of concrete.

TESTS
7.1 TESTS CONDUCTED AT SITE
1. Slump test:
The slump test is a means of assessing the consistency of fresh concrete. It is used, indirectly, as
a means of checking that the correct amount of water has been added to the mix. It is testing
fresh concrete.
There are 4 types of slumps can be seen,
• True slump.
• Shear slump.
• Collapse slump.
• Zero slump.

2. Cube test:
Concrete is very strong in compression. It is assumed that whole of the compression will be
taken up by the concrete while designing any RCC structure. The most important strength test for
concrete is the compression test. This test is not only important from structural point of view but
also other properties such as fatigue, impact, shrinkage, creep, deformation and thermal
sensitivity bear some relationship with it.

BUILDING INSURANCE
Home insurance or property insurance secures the structure along with its content against
unwanted events like fire, theft, natural calamities (storm, cyclone, etc.) or man-made activities
(riots and terrorism). With the arrival of auspicious occasions, it is advisable for you to invest in
a home insurance policy, as securing your assets is one of the best things to do during this festive
time. An unfortunate incident can cause irreversible damage, leading to vulnerable financial
losses; hence, it is wise to buy property insurance.
The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has made it mandatory
for every insurer to offer a standard home insurance policy known as Bharat Griha Raksha from
April 1, 2021. Bharat Griha Raksha provides coverage against loss, damage, or destruction of the
home building and its contents due to unforeseen circumstances.
Our nation is prone to natural calamities and constant fire incidences, which lead to irreversible
damages. For example, in 2021, cyclone yaas in Odisha and a major fire incident in Kullu,
Himachal Pradesh in December 2021, gutted 15 houses and led to severe destruction of property.
Bharat Griha Raksha
Bharat Griha Raksha provides coverage for home building and its content. This policy has been
made mandatory by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) for
every insurer to offer with effect from April 1, 2021. The IRDAI announced the introduction of
Bharat Griha Raksha standard home insurance policy on January 4, 2021 that it will cover the
risk of fire and allied perils for certain risks. Bharat Griha Raksha is basically a home insurance
cover that provides coverage for loss, damage or destruction of the home building along with its
content and jewellery. In Bharat Griha Raksha the policy can be extended up to 10 years.
Valuable content of the house can also be covered with Bharat Griha Raksha under different
optional covers.
Homeowners looking for an ideal HOME INSURANCE COVER can opt for the Bharat Griha
Raksha policy, which will secure the home structure and its content appropriately. Even tenants
should consider buying the Bharat Griha Raksha policy to insure the belonging against any sort
of unforeseen event.

REFLECTION
In this chapter we reflect on the internship. Regarding your learning goals we shortly discuss
our experiences, if we have achieved our goal, and the technical as well as the non-technical
outcomes of the internship Program.
Internship is a class healed at site to provide an enhanced understanding of the outside

working environment before the student graduate. Student like civil and urban engineering
and other fields also take this practice. The main aim of this practice (internship) is that to
teach students communication with different workers or employees, to improve practical
skill what they learned at class, up grading the theoretical knowledge in addition to the class,
improve their leadership skill, team playing skill and etc.
The use of skills and knowledge gained in the university and the skills and knowledge
gained in my study could be put to use to practice in our internship. At the beginning we did
not have any experience of about construction. Although we had seen one, we now
understand better about the construction procedure and building material testing
8.1 CHALLENGES AT THE SITE

• Communication
• Co-ordination
• Study of Drawing
8.2 LEARNING OUTCOMES

TECHNICAL OUTCOMES OF INTERNSHIP
• Study of different types of drawings, Work order.
• Important criteria considered for the design of a structure:
• Types of slabs
• Beams and Columns
• Block work
• Finishing works
• Studied about Services

Page | 41
NON-TECHNICAL OUTCOMES OF INTERNSHIP
• Improving practical knowledge
• Upgrading theoretical knowledge
• Improving interpersonal communication skill
• Teamwork
• Leadership and decision making
• Time Management
1.IMPROVING PRACTICALKNOWLEDGE:
During my internship period, I had great opportunity to get to know things in practical.
There is a vast gap between theoretical and practical knowledge. It only through experience
can one gain knowledge and this helps in handling critical situations at site. In the company,
discussions carried out with the staffs helped me to gain practical knowledge regarding the
methodology at site, handling the site situations. Each site I visited during my internship was
invaluable experience. The practical knowledge I gained in the internship now gives me a
clear idea of several civil engineering concepts which would otherwise remain undigested
throughout.
2.UPGRADINGTHEORETICALKNOWLEDGE:
In the company, discussions carried out with the staffs helped me to find new areas of
references to improve my theoretical knowledge. Theoretical knowledge gets a newer
dimension once practical knowledge is gained. The link between theory and practice can be
established.
3.IMPROVINGINTERPERSONALCOMMUNICATIONSKILL:
Communication skill is very important in all aspects of life. The way we communicate a
particular information has greater impact on the listener. Since ours is construction field and
we will be dealing with labours as well as officials so it is very important for an engineer to
have good communication skill so that the message is conveyed in an efficient manner and
work progress can be faster.

Page | 42
4.TEAMWORK:
For the growth of any organization, teamwork is the most important and it cannot be
neglected. A team consists of members from different background, qualifications, way of
thinking, etc.In the company, I observed that without teamwork it almost becomes
impossible to carry out some works at site. There will be several works that have to be
performed before the commencement of work at site. All the tasks can be performed without
any delay when there is good teamwork. It’s because of good teamwork that field and
laboratory tests are conducted and reports can be given to client in time.
5.LEADERSHIP AND DECISIONMAKING:

In civil engineering field, site conditions will be different at each site. It is really important
to have good leader to decide the way in which work should be performed and completed in
specific duration of time. A leader has to think about welfare of team members and also
make sure that the work is not delayed in prolongation of any activities.
A particular site is first visited by the leader, the site conditions are observed thoroughly and
crucial points are noted down if found any. The conditions at site are discussed with
respective client and chairman of the company.
Right decisions at right time helps to complete the work in scheduled time. Decisions to be
taken keeping in mind the safety of structure coming over the soil.

OVER ALL INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE
JOINING THE COMPANY

After finishing our 6th semester exam we were eagerly waiting to do our
internship in any construction company, we searched many companies in which
some of them were charging huge ransom of money and some of them did not
accept us, luckily with the help of our professor , we got an offering at one of the
prestigious construction company HABITAT EDEN HEIGHTS, BANGALORE. We
got the internship letter from our department. The next day we visited the
construction site where the company’s work was in progress and we met the site
engineer Mr.ELDO gave he gave us orientation about the overall work, gave some
technical notes to study, and instructed us to carry safety helmets and to put tough shoes
while entering the site, as he told us we began the work from next day and joined the
company.
SECTION OF THE COMPANY WE HAD WORKED

Our company has many projects in our country as I have mentioned in the
company profile. Thus, from the listed we were working in one of the
Bangalore’s project “Habitat Eden Heights”. Since our company was the
consultant of Habitat Ventures apartment, we had an opportunity to work at
different departments.
They are:
1. Junior engineer.
2. Assistant quality surveyor.
3. Assistant quantity controller.

CONCLUSION
It is not only to get experience on technical practices but also to observe management
practices and to interact with field workers. It is easy to work with sophisticated
machines, but not with people. The only chance that an undergraduate has to have this
experience is through internship period. We feel we got the maximum out of that
experience. Also, we learnt the way of work in an organization, the importance of
maximum commitment and the importance of team spirit. The internship program was a
lot more useful than staying at one place throughout the whole 30 days. In our opinion,
we have gained lots of knowledge and experience needed to be successful in a great
engineering challenge, as engineering is after all a challenge, and not a job.
As we are the undergraduates of CIT college of Engineering, Gubbi we would like to

say that this internship program was an excellent opportunity for us to get to the ground
level and experience the things that we would have never gained going straight through
a job. We are grateful to CIT college of Engineering, Gubbi and Habitat Ventures,
Bangalore for giving us this wonderful opportunities.
