INTRENSHIP OUTCOME
 INTRODUCTION
• Development of a country depends on the connectivity of
various places with adequate road network.
• Roads constitute the most important mode of communication
in areas where railways have not developed much.
• Cement concrete roads provides dustless and sanitary surface.
It can be designed more accurately for load distribution.
 INTRENSHIP OVERVIEW
• Location of site
• Estimation cost
• Contractor
• Layout and sections
• Technology used
 METHODOLOGY
1. SITE CLEARENCE
 Before construction begins the construction site must be carefully prepared , This
includes preparing the grade or road base , sub grade and sub base.
 Cutting of trees , including cutting of trunks,
branches and removal of stumps, roots.
 2. Preparation of sub grade
 When natural sub grade is not very firm , a sub base over the sub grade is
provided.
 It provides capillary cut – off and the damage caused by mud pumping is
prevented.
 Provides a strong supporting layers.
 It reduces the thickness of concrete slab

and thus leads to lower cost of construction.

 3.FORM WORK
 Wooden sheets, battens, plywood, fibre hard board, steel plates etc.
 Before using form work, it should be free
form all type material like as dust, cement.
 To placing the concrete appropriate
depth used 2.5-5cm thick and
3mtr long wooden sheeting.
 The depth of the wooden block
must be same as level of slab thick.
 4.PLACING OF CONCRETE
 After mixing, the concrete is transported to the site in wheel burrows or in pans
which are manually carried.
 The mixed concrete is deposited rapidly on
the sub grade thin layer of thickness not more
than 50-80mm or about two or three times
the size of aggregates.
 5. COMPACTION OF CEMENT CONCRETE
Purpose of compaction is that to pull out air from void and make concrete harden.
Compaction done by:
1.Mechanically surface vibrator.
2.Manually hand tempers.
 After this Floating, Belting, Screeding or
strike off, Bull floating and Brooming is
done as per requirement for the finishing
purpose of concrete pavement to smoothen
the top surface.
 6. CURING
 Curing consist of checking the loss of water from the concrete slab, and keeping
the fresh concrete slab moist during hardening period.
 Intial curing is done for 24 hrs.
 By this time, the concrete becomes
hard enough to walk upon and
then wet mats are removed and final
curing done for 2-3weeks (by covering the
slab with 4-8cm thick layer of wet sand or
earth).
 INTERNSHIP OUTCOME
 This internship and training work gave an opportunity to build competency
in learning the field construction work among ourselves.
 The things which we got to learn in this project work are really important as
well as very helpful in our future engineering works.
 The interaction with the engineers, contractors and labours and
construction work.
 The basic studies which are incorporated in our curriculum subjects are in
relation with the construction work.
 We learned about practical construction of rigid pavement at
BRAHMASANDRA site.
