Civil engineering interview questions

if only 1 slab of a floor get sagged, how could be it repaired? 2. if any footing
gives the cube result, after 28 days less than 16 n/mm2 in spite of 20 n/mm2
what are the remedies ?
 Answer
# 2.if it is a big footing we cannot remove and redo. so remove the top 200mm concret
by chiping and use proper bonding agents and introduce few more rebars through the
colomn and anchor them to the old footing and change the shape of the footing to a
triangular shape with rebars and re concrete the top surface and additional care to be
taken at the time of casting plinth beam it is better to redesign the plinth beam to take
more load which the coloum will carry. Note. check the mix design and use skilled
manpower while casting cubes at site. also place them in water immediately after
removing from moulds (delay in this activity will also cause cube failure)
 2 2 reasons for saging.1) bad staging/supports. 2) bad design. any hw if it sagged it does
noteffect the next slab casting we can cast the next one. as far as repairing of 1st slab is
consern we should have a graphical representation of sag and find out the lowest level
and highest level plot them and with the help of this date we can fix the floor level ilttle
elevated than planned and the sagged area should be concreted (screed concret) with
good mix as per site condition.
If on-site slump test fails, should engineers allow the contractor to continue
the concreting works?
The first school of thought is rather straightforward: the contractor fails to comply
with contractual requirements and therefore as per G. C. C. Clause 54 (2)(c) the
engineer could order suspension of the Works. Under the conditions of G. C. C.
Clause 54(2)(a) – (d), the contractor is not entitled to any claims of cost which is
the main concern for most engineers. This is the contractual power given to the
Engineer in case of any failure in tests required Engr. Salman Ali Syed Saudi
Electricity Company by the contract, even though some engineers argue that
slump tests are not as important as Other tests like compression test.
The second school of thought is to let the contractor to continue their concreting
works and Later on request the contractor to prove that the finished works comply
with other contractual requirements e.g. compression test. This is based upon the
belief that workability is mainly required to achieve design concrete compression
strength. In case the compression test also fails, the contractor should demolish
and reconstruct the works accordingly. In fact, this is a rather passive way of
treating construction works and is not recommended because of the following
reasons:
If on-site slump test fails, should engineers allow the contractor to continue
the concreting works?

(i) Workability of freshly placed concrete is related not only to

strength but also to durability of concrete. Even if the future
compression test passes, failing in slump test indicates that it
may have adverse impact to durability of completed concrete
structures.
(ii) In case the compression test fails, the contractor has to
deploy extra time and resources to remove the work and
reconstruct them once again and this slows down the progress
of works significantly. Hence, in view of such likely
probability of occurrence, why shouldn’t the Engineer
exercise his power to stop the contractor and save these extra
time and cost?

# 1 Nominal mix is the some ratio are fixed by Is code india. and design mixed is the ratio fixed by considering
avilable material, strength and enviornment. 2.Structural design means design a structure ( means skeleton of a
body ) of thing 3.spt- standard penetration text Least count of theodolite is 0 degree 0 min 5"( second)
 Nominal mix are as just specified in is codes. Design mix ratio is fixed by considering the load of the structure and
the quality of materials .nominal mix eg:M10 to M25 Design Mix eg: M30 onwards 2.structural design mean the
details of reinforcement and the mix of concreting 5. some time we have to provide extra bars as per the design
for carrying the load .Generally in simply supported beam at mid span it is provided on the bottom and end at top

 Method of findingthe dry ingredient quantity of 1 m3 concrete. Answer
# 4 Estimating Quantities of material needed. 1. Calculate the volume of concrete needed. 2. Estimate the total
volume of dry material by multiplying the required volume of concrete by 1.65 to get the total volume of dry
loose material needed (this includes 10% extra to compensate for losses). 3. Add the numbers in the volumetric
proportion that you will use to get a relative total. This will allow you later to compute fractions of the total
needed for each ingredient. (i.e. 1:2:4 = 7). 4. Determine the required volume of cement, sand and gravel by
multiplying the total volume of dry material (Step 2) by each components fraction of the total mix volume (Step
3) i.e. the total amount cement needed = volume of dry materials * 1/7. 5. Calculate the number of bags of
concrete by dividing the required volume of cement by the unit volume per bag of cement (0.0332 m3 per 50 kg
bag of cement or 1 ft3 per 94 lb bag). For example, for a 2 m x 2 m x 10 cm thick pump pad: 1. Required volume
of concrete = 0.40 m3 2. Estimated volume of dry material = 0.4 x 1.65 = 0.66 m3 3. Mix totals = 1+2+4 = 7
(1:2:4 cement:sand:gravel) 4. Ingredient Volumes: 0.66 x 1/7 = .094 m3 cement 0.66 x 2/7 = .188 m3 sand
0.66 x 4/7 = .378 m3 gravel 5. # Bags of cement: 0.094 m3 cement / .0332 m3 per 50 Kg bag = 2.83 bags of
cement (use three bags)
 soppose, concrete mix ratio = 1:1.5:3 then, sum = 1+1.5+3 = 5.5 as we know,dry material required for 1 cum.
of concrete = 1.54 cum. then we can find -: (1) cement = 1*1.54/5.5 = .28 cum. or .28cum.* 28.8= 8.06 bags.
(2) sand = 1.5* 1.54/5.5 = .42 cum. or .42cum.* 35.3 = 14.83 cubic feet. (3) coase aggregate = 3* 1.54/5.5 =
.84 cum. or .84 cum.* 35.3 = 29.65 cubic feet. so, dry ingredient quantity required for 1 m3 of concrete-:
cement = 8.06 bags. sand = 14.83 cft. coarse aggregate = 29.65 cft. do not forget to add 5 to 8 % addition
matreial.
 bridge design Answer
# 1 bridge design..first we have to make the general layout of a span of a
bridge.then cross beams and longitudinal beams are placed at suitable
spacing and their size is also assumed. steps 1.calculate clear span and
dead loads like due to slab and wearing coat 2.calculate bending
moments. 3.using pigeadus curve calculate moments 4.load dispersion
due to wheel of train is calculated. class A or class AA is used.now a daya
class A IS commonly used. 5.live load moments calculated. 6.check for
shear is also done
 First we study about the location, catchment area and preliminay survey
after that if necessay to provide the bridge. we go to soil investigation
and study the report, afterthat design.
 during earth quake base shear force=a/w*g
Comment? Answer
# 2 Generally earthquakes occur only when there is a gap or
vaccum between 2 layers underneath.there are many reasons
for a earth quake to occur, but here in this case we take in
reason told above.'a' stands for the area under which the
vaccum occurs,and 'w' stands for the weight of the part
under which vaccum is created, and that part is pulled by
earth's gravity,so the base shear force is (area/weight of the
part)multiplied by the gravity of the earth(9.8).
 In case of a beam ,main steel is provided along the
longer span because, bending moment is directly
proportional to length but why in case of one way slab
main steel is provided along shorter span while as
bending takes place along longer span?comment Answer
# 4 BECAUSE IN CASE OF ONE WAY SLAB THE LOAD IS
TRANSFERED THROUGH THE SHORTER SPAN ONLY. AND
IT IS POSSIBLE TO DESIGN IT (MAI STEEL) ALONG LONGER
SPANS TOO BUT THE STEEL REQUIREMENT WILL BE
MORE AND HENCE IT WILL NOT BE VIABLE
SOLUTION.9THIS IS THE MAIN REASON.
 In case of a beam ,main steel is provided along the longer span
because, bending moment is directly proportional to length but
why in case of one way slab main steel is provided along shorter
span while as bending takes place along longer span?comment
Answer
# 5 beam is design considering 1m widh .in case of one way slab ,due to the
compression in concrete above the neutral axis it expand and contract tension
zone below axis.so the shape of the slab do not remaining rectangular but
becomes trapezoidal.so in order keep it remain rectangular the remaining
concrete develop stress in opposite direction due to which a secondary moment
is induced in the slab(negative moment)so the reinforcement is done along
shorter span. Is This Answer Correct ? 1 Yes 0 No

how to increase bearing capacity of
soil?
1. The bearing capacity of soil is increased by cement and lime grouting method, in which cement or lime is add with the soil
which increase the bearing capacity of soil this is more commonly used in ROAD projects, this process is known as GROUTING
METHODER.
2. Bearing capacity of soils can be increased by compaction and grouting methods.
3. Another alternative way to increase bearing capacity of soil is, by using carbon nano tube (cnt), which is add to the soil. The
surface area of the cnt will stregthen the soil even if we use in small quantity.
4. yes, but ground improvement technics are adapted for location of site
5. A method for increasing the bearing capacity of foundation soils for built structures consisting of providing a plurality of holes
spaced from each other deep in the soil, and injecting into the soil, through the holes, a substance which expands as a
consequence of a chemical reaction, with a potential increase in volume of at least five times the volume of the substance before
expansion. The expansion of the substance injected into the soil produces compaction of the contiguous soil.
6. To improve the bearing capacity of soil, one of the following methods can be used.
1. Vibro Floatation Technique
2. Repalce the existing soil with road base materials and compact in layers to attain the required bearing capacity of soil.
3. Replace the existing soil with cement mix soil and compact in layers with water to attain the required bearing capacity.
4. Vibro Replacement Technique
Why we do design mix of concrete when there is nominal
method using the IS-Code available ?
 to save an optimum content of cement, from 7.5 to 8 bags of cement to
6.6 bags of cement per CuM
 to achieve economy and safety
 To acheive best possible concrete with the ingredients available at
particular location design mix is used.
 to ensure required |Target Mean Strength by controlling the parameters
of aggregate,sand and water accurately ....n also to design higher grade
of concrete ... ....incase of nominal mis method(say),M15 means 15mpa
comp.srength on 28 days using 1:2:4 proportions without considering
various conditions of conareting materials ...the same will be rectified in
design mix . simply nominal mix is blind technique where as design mix
is live n vibrant method of mix design in concrete technology to achieve
anticipated TMS.
 what is the design mix of M5 m means the number of mix & 5 refers to the strength of
concrete block of size 150x150x150 mm after curing of 28days.
 Important term in the question is "Design mix".

You see there is a term "Nominal mix" in concrete which is pertaining to certain standards and
thumbrules with respect to properties of concrete materials such as aggregate, sand, cement, water
and admixtures.
Â
However in order to get the most economic/workable mix of the concrete, it is designed and
tested in different proportions by having taken care of exact physical & chemical properties of the
ingredients.That is called the design mix of any grade of concrete.
Now normally M5 is used in PCC and hence design mix is not done for the same but for
grades M15 and above.
 what is the design mix of M5 m means grade of concrete refers to the strength of concrete
block of size 150x150x150 mm after curing of 28days. which is called as M5 M=mega pascal =
N/mm2 or M5=5 N/mm2

In case of a beam ,main steel is provided along the longer span because,
bending moment is directly proportional to length but why in case of one way
slab main steel is provided along shorter span while as bending takes place
along longer span?comment
 in beam the breadth is small so no need for
distributionreinforcement,but in slab load will not be distributed
like beam....
 The primary load transfer direction will be in the shorter span and
as a result large negative bending moments will occur at these
supports. Therefore reinforcing steel is required to cross these
supports rather than the ones with less load transfer, which occur
in the supports with longer span.
 The Bending moment in Oneway slab along shorter span is much
lesser than the longer span. It proportional to the square of the
span of the slab. Even we can have main steel along the longer span
but it leads to uneconomical.
 what is anchorage? Why anchoring of reinforcing bars
necessary and what are the shapes ?
 Anchoring of reinforcing bars is necessary when the
development length of the reinforcement is larger than the
structure. Anchorage is used so that the steel's intended
tension load can be reached and pop-outs will not occur.
Anchorage shapes can take the form of 180 or 90 degree
hooks.

how to calculate the steel for rcc slab? plz tell me
the formula for calculating the steel?
 Ast=0.5fck/fy(1-(1-4.6Mu/fck.b.d.d))bd
 for calculating the area of steel in rcc slabs, ast = ( M ) / (.87*fy*(d-.42*xu))
where M= moment corresponding to entire loads of span in one meter length
fy= characteristic strength of steel d= depth of slab xu=lever arm depth
depending upon the type of fy given in Is:456-2000
 Two Methods, First from Calculation, 2nd using SP16 1st Method Compute
K= Mu/(fcu x b x d^2) for Fy = 415 if K<= 0.138 Singly Reinforced
Calculate Z/d = 0.5 + sqrt { 0.25 - K/0.865} Area of Steel = Mu / { 0.87 x
fy x Z } Z is Lever Arm Distance Between CG of Tension and Compression
Force 2nd Method Calculate Mu /{b x d^2} Check Table 2 to 5 of SP16 based
on Concrete Grade It gives Percentage of Steel Pt for given Grade of
Concrete,steel and Mu/{bxd^2}

streta, bearing capicity of soil then as per our requairment as
per building by law we may design foundation for as per area
how much floor we required
What is logic behind the use of Steel
bar insted of gold bar?
 gold bar is very rare& costtly, hence uneconomical to use as
well it is much ductile in its pure state hence has lesser
tensile strenth than steel so steel bar is used instead of steel
 Becase steel& concrete leanear Expention is same &not more
castly and more avalablity then gold&
 1. gold is expensive 2.gold tensile strength<< steel tensile
strength. 3. we can't use pure gold bar(bcos it must mix with
another material)
Design Mix What is the procedure of
design mix?
 Design mix in India are prepared by IS code method. all the
properties of materials determined first, like density, setting times
etc. then according to code quantities of water, cement, aggregates
are calculated,then cubes are prepared and tested if characteristic
strength is as required then mix is proper.
 Design Mix Design Mix of concrete is an important process to
determine the quantity of constituents of the concrete such as
cement, aggregate, sand, water as per the grade of the concrete in
order to achieve the conglomerate compound. Even
the phrase itself advised that it is a design of a mix.

how many cement bag in 1m*m*m
 28.8 bags
 1 m3 contains 1440kg of cement.1 cement bag =50kg.so
1440/50=28.8 bags
 1 bag of cement= .0347 m3 in volume. So 1 m3 = 1/
0.0347 =28.818 bags of cement.
 .0354 m3 is equivalent to one bag of cement (50kgs) For one

calculating As per IS code - take live load-4.0 kn/Sqm terrace finish- 1.5
kn/sqm floor finish - 1.0kn/sqm water proofing- 2.0 kn/sqm --------------------
-------- total load-8.5 kn/sqm i conver all ft ad inch to mt and mm dead load of
column or its own weight- .38x.228x25x12=25.992kn/m 25kn/m recc wight
beam weight- .304x.304x25x15.732x3=109.041 -
.304x.304x25x29.5x4=272.62 slab weght- 222.22x.100x25= 555 -------------
----------------------------------------- total weight= 962.653kn/sqm total dead
load+ live load=962.653+8.5 = 971.153kn/sqm so per sqm load factor =

What is softsoil? what kind of
foundation?
 Soft soil is that cannot take heavy load coming from the super structure. Also having low
soil bearing capacity, like black cotton soil The type of foundation used for soft soils are
RAFT FOUNDATIONS
 If the soil is soft then as per the soil report one shold find till what depth do you find a
hard rock strata, the foundation also depends on the total height of the super structure
and the load capacity therefore one can use the combination of Pile and raft foundation
i.e take a group of piles at the positon of the Columns and above that one can have a raft.
 if the size of the soil particles is lees than .0075 mm then soil is called soft soil, even by
touching the soil u can feel that softness. The type of foundation used for soft soils are
PILE FOUNDATIONS. They suit them the most for the reason they are economicaland
take load to the greater depths where there is a strong strata.
 Soft soil is that cannot take heavy load coming from the super structure. Also having low
soil bearing capacity, like black cotton soil, clay. For shallow foundation raft, continuous
foundation is good. For deep foundation pile foundation is preferable.

patricular site while d same cannot b even an optin 2 b considered for sum other site. can
explaon it with 2-3 eg's.
 The best design for building bridges is the one that meets all or most of the needs of the
client. This includes cost, environmental concerns, ease of construction, aesthetics,
availability of materials & labor, geologic conditions and construction schedule. The
ability to analyze various types of structures, materials, and construction technics is
important so that one can arrive at a sensible conclusion\reccomendation.
 the best design for bridges is that which considers the environmental
conditions,economic factors,availability of constuction materials as well asavailability of
manpower
