Finishing materials details -Finishing materials are used to improve the
service and decorative qualities of buildings and structures, as well as to
protect structural members from atmospheric and other effects. The main
finishing materials in modern construction include finishing mortars and
concretes; natural and artificial masonry materials ; decorative ceramics ;
materials and items made from wood , paper , glass , plastic, and metals;
and paints and varnishes.
Finishing materials are usually designed for interior or exterior finishing ;
some materials are used for both ( for example , natural decorative
stones, ceramic materials , architectural glass.)
The finishing materials used in the project for :
i. Floor – Vitrified tiles are used for floors in rooms and halls. Quota
flooring is used in corridor and staircase. Granite is used in counter
slab and lift lobby.
ii. Wall exterior & interior – The interior and exterior wall are
finished with 12mm thick plaster with fine sand and JK Wall Putty.
iii. Façade – Façade of a building is often the most important aspect
from a design standpoint , as it sets the tone for the rest of the
building. From engineering perspective of a building , the façade is
also of great importance due to impact on energy efficiency. In the
project the façade is finished with 12 mm thick plaster with apex
paint.

Bricks – The brick used in the project is a AAC block ( Autoclave aerated
concrete block is a light weight ,precast , foam concrete building material that
simultaneously provides structure , insulation , and fire and mild resistance. It
is a highly thermally insulating concrete based material used for both internal
and external construction . Its one of the main advantage is its quick and easy
installation , because the material can be routed , sanded , or cut to size on the
site. Due to its lower density, high rise buildings constructed using AAC
requires less steel and concrete for structural members . The requirement of
mortar for laying of AAC blocks is reduced due lower number of joints . AAC
blocks weigh about one-fifth of typical brick.

OVER ALL INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE
3.1Joining the company
Since we finish 3rd
year class we got the application letter for internship from
the department of civil engineering. So , I have been searching a hosting
company in the summer but I don’t get any company that satisfy my own
interest because they don’t have ability and capacity to teach intern student also
some company reject student because other colleges apply first.
So I applied a letter to our department’s teacher Mr. Serajuddin Ahmed to find
me a hosting company. He send me with another student to the company called
RITES Ltd. Then we went there to begin to work and we ask the worker around
there that where was the office. They show us and we ask the resident engineer
Md. Jawed Khan and he gave us the orientation about the overall work we
perform throughout the whole internship months and told us we can begin the
work the next day. As he told us we begin work and join the company
3.2Section of the company I have worked
I have been working in the 3-star GRIHA rating hostel project (a hostel
expansion project ). The project consists of a mega G + 7 residential building
which id divided into 5 blocks. When I arrived the project was reaching the
floor level of the seventh floor so I had a opportunity to work for a complete
storey which was to be build.
3.2.1 Flow in the section
The working flow of the consultant and the contractor has a many advantages as
in every work there is a work flow whatever small is the section. In my working
site at the Jamia Millia Islamia university project the work flow look like the
chart below.as shown in the chart every work was executed based on this flow.

Site engineer is accountable for the following tasks and responsibilities :
 Studying the work plan submitted by the contractor and suggests
any modifications.
 To watch and inspect the constriction works and assure that it is
done in full accordance with the drawings, technical specifications
and bill of quantities.
 Supervising the works om site in accordance with the contract
documents and using the template and procedure established by the
consultant.
 Inspecting and testing materials prior to their use at site asper
sample approved by the consultant and ensuring removal of
rejected material out from the site.
 Insuring the correct implementation of the works according to
technical specifications, to designs and quality of materials
 Checking of layout and setting out of buildings with respect to
existing structures and site levels.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
Page45
 Checking and testing of completed works before they are covered
by the contractor, taking photos on a regular basis and on account
of defective work.
 Ensuring that health and safety measures are adopted and followed
to the full extent
 Prepare weekly report and suggest and instruct addition safety
measure if needed
5. Foreman
A foreman is a worker or trade man who is in charge of the construction
crew and is a skilled supervisor who is responsible to work side by side
with the project manger, proper owner and other construction design
engineers in order to complete project in a given time limit. His job is to
employ the suitable workers on the various tasks to complete the job, and
supervise all phases of the construction project from start to end or
supervise only a portion of the building process. Normally the foreman is
a construction worker with many years of experience in particular trade
who is charged with organising the overall construction of a particular
project.
6. Surveyor
In a construction a surveyor is mandatory so, in a site the surveyor works
starting from setting out to checking verticality, keeping the natural level
of the building, checking elevation of columns.
7. Skilled and un-skilled person
The group includes masons, carpenter, car benders and daily labours. In
our country workers of such group are appointed only by experience
these have its own advantage on the construction. They work everything
as they ordered by withier the foreman, or the site engineer.
3.3 Work piece or task I have been executing
I was assigned from the department to work with contractor’s side so to know
every work that civil engineers do. I try to work and share experience with
contractor. Also the consultant main work at site is controlling time, cost,
quality and safety of workers so those work needs inspection, test conducting
and taking different measures when the contractor doesn’t execute it properly.
Their main work is to advice and provide a better idea how the project will
finish with minimum cost, time and max. quality.
Generally, I have been working in two different sections as mentioned. I
classify the work into office work and site work.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
Page46
Office Work
In my internship period I experience office works that are worked mostly at the
site this includes some task performed by office engineer and quantity surveyor.
Such as:
I. Taking off – it is a process of preparing a detailed list of all labour and
materials necessary for the work and entering the items on properly
dimensioned paper
II. Bill of quantity – these are designed to meet the needs of estimators. It is
the format which is used in a bill of quantity to list a short description of
the specifications along with its measuring unit, quantity and unit prices
to determine the total cost for each trade of item. In the site the bill of
quantity is done by consultant with the contract document but at site we
work it again for payment.
III. Reading and interpreting drawing- drawing are means by which designer
conveys the physical, qualitative and visual description of the project to
the contractor. The drawings are two dimensional representation of the
physical structure that meets the objective of the owner. These are also
known as plans.
In our site there are 4 types of drawings:
1) Architectural Drawings
2) Structural Drawings
3) Sanitary Drawing
4) Electrical Installation Drawing
These drawings are the main language between the architect, designer
and any worker at site or office to build the model in position as specified
by the designer and the client based on the agreement. Thus to work as an
engineer in the construction site it is mandatory knowing drawings and
any other specifications. Drawings are the most common means of
communication for all types and sizes of the project. Thus I understand
each drawing and knew every symbol, abbreviation for every section and
I able to communicate with different workers using it.
Site Work
The site work was very important task for me because the internship main
object lies over her. And I have gained main knowledge from the site work like
communication skill handling workers, management skill etc. within the month
I have the ability to see any works from the project.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
Page47
The work I have been executing at the site is :
1) Supervision of works
2) Inspecting the worked element and how they work
3) Checking the work based on the given check list
The site work in general overlay over the supervision part. Every work must be
checked whether it is executed based on the methodology that contractor
provides to the consultant or not. If not the contractor must report the case why
they didn’t execute upon it.
3.4 Procedure I have used when I perform work tasks
The site work I have been performing was controlling how the work is going on
and supervising the work. Details of construction are specified in drawings,
technical specifications and in general and special conditions of the contract. I
have work most of the time at the site to become more familiar with the site
works and to get more practical knowledge. Site works in general include very
kind of work executed at the site starting from setting out till finishing works
based on the given specification and methodology. The site work that I have
been through in the entire internship period was the superstructure and not in
the sub structure. A normal building consists of two parts in general these are
the super structure and the sub structure.
Any structure below the ground floor slab level including the basement,
retaining walls, ground slabs, grade beam, and foundation is called sub
structure. In most of the cases, substructure work can be categorised as
earthwork, concrete work and masonry work. I have seen concrete pouring and
masonry work.
Super structure is the part of the building which extend above the grade beam or
everything above the sub structure includes slab, column, walls, roofs, etc. the
purpose of the super structure is to enclose and divide the space as well as
spread load safely into the sub structure.
3.4.1 Setting Out
A building is set out to clearly define the outline of the excavation and the
centreline of the walls, so that the construction can be carried out exactly
according to the plan. Surveying is carried out by total station through skilled
professional. Performing the job by the cited instrument will enable the
respective professional to decide and limit the real topography of the site. I

INTERNSHIP REPORT
Page48
didn’t saw this work but I tried to grasp some knowledge by asking the engineer
how it was worked and its main procedures.
3.4.2 Excavations
Excavation is the first step of construction. It referes to the process of removing
soil and rock from its original location, typically in preparation for constructing
foundations, basements and underground utility lines and for gradig of ground
surface. Excavated materials required for back fill is stock piled on the side for
subsequent use. Excavation work I have been seen was the bulk excavation of
the included STP site. The main aim of theexcavation work is to remove organic
soils or unwanted soils for the safety of the building from chemical attacking.
Excavation shall be carried out to the lines, level width & depth as shown on the
drawings, directed by the engineer or as appropriate to the work to be placed in
the excavation. I didn’t saw the excavation work of the main project site but I
tried to grasp some knowledge by asking the engineer how it was worked and
its main procedures.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
Page49
3.4.3 Fill
Fill work will follow the erection of foundation column. Excavation need
to be back filled with better soil type, which will have better compaction
character and would bring minimum required proctor density. Jamia
Millia area has shown that the natural excavated soil alone would attain
the compaction density based on the tested value. For better results a
minimum quantity of water may also be sprinkled for better compaction. I
didn’t saw this work but I tried to grasp some knowledge by asking the
engineer how it was worked and its main procedures.
3.4.4 Masonry Works
Masonry are works that are executed by the laying building material units
such as stone, brick and AACB of specified dimension by providing a
binding material such as mortar. I got the opportunity to see the masonry
work in the sixth storey. The masonry was built with AAC block wall
400mm for periphery walls and 250mm for partition walls. Generally,
stones used for masonry work shall be hard and sound, free from vents,
cracks, fishers, discoloration or other defects that will adversely affect
strength and appearance.
3.4.5 Concrete Formwork
As fresh concrete is in plastic state when it is placed for constructing
purpose so, it become necessary to provide some temporary structure to
confine and support the concrete till it gains sufficient strength for self-
supporting. This temporary structure is called formwork. Concrete
formwork serves as a mould to produce concrete elements having desired
size and configuration. It is usually erected for this purpose and then
remove after the concrete has cured t satisfactory strength. For
satisfactory performance formwork must be adequately strong and stiff to
carry the loads produced by the concrete, the workers placing and
finishing the concrete, and any equipment or materials supported by
forms.
In the site formwork material, we use was the plywood material which
have a good surface finish and steel support tubes for supporting the
plywood.
The general step used to construct a formwork in the site is:
1. Prepare the false work in the desired portion and level.
2. Preparing the formwork in the desired shape based on the drawing or the
size of the structure that is going to be cast.
3. Paining with a releasing agent.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
Page50
4. Nailing it with appropriate bracing element and false work.
The type of formwork that would be utilized on our site was a combination of
plywood and steel tubes. The purpose of employing plywood and steel tubes is
to make sure that quality concrete with perfect alignment would result. For
horizontal structures like reinforced concrete slab the plywood without being
cut was placed. For vertical reinforced concrete structures plywood formwork
with timber false works was used. As most of the elevation columns assume
uniform size, the plywood was cut in size and was produced in a manner it
could be easily fixed and dismantled. The bracing was done from timberland
nailed perfectly to confine fresh concrete. Dismantling of the formwork
commenced after allowable dates have elapsed since the day of the concrete
casting. The dates of dismantling for the soffit formworks were shortened by the
use of fast curing concrete admixtures.

3.4.6 Reinforcement Bar
Concrete is much weaker intension then in compression. In its tensile strength is
approximately 10% of its compressive strength. Therefore concrete is generally
used in conjunction with steel reinforcements, which provides the tensile
strength in a concrete member. The use of plain concrete without steel
reinforcements is limited to pavement and some slabs on ground. Sttel is an
ideal material to complement concrete because the thermal expansion of the
both materials is the same.
Steel also bonds well with concrete. In a composite material, the bond between
two materials is necessary for it to function as asingle material. The bond
between steel and concrete is due to chemistry of two materials, which produces
the chemical bond between them. Additionally, as water from concrte
evaporates, it shrinks and grips the steel bars making the mechanical bond. The
mechanical bond is enhanced by using reinforcing bars, rebar, that has surface
deformations.
3.4.7 Concrete
Concrete is a composite consisting of the dispersed phase of aggregates
(ranging from its maximum size coarse aggregates down to the fine sand
particles) embedded in the matrix of the cement paste. This is a Portland cement
concrete with the four constituents of Portland cement, water, stone and sand.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
Page52
These basic components remain in the concrete but other constituents are now
often added to modify its fresh and hardened properties. This has broadened the
scope in design and construction of the concrete structures. These are translated
into strength, workability and durability in the relation to the properties of the
concrete. Since our building is a reinforced concrete structure the concrete work
was commenced every day for constructing of every part of the building.
3.4.7.1 Constituents of the concrete
The constituents of modern concrete have increased from the basic four
(cement, water, stone, and sand) to include both chemical and mineral
admixtures. These admixtures have been in use for decades, first in special
circumstances, but have now been incorporated in more and more general
application for their technical and at times economic benefits in either or both
fresh and hardened properties of concrete.
1. Cement
Cement may be described as a material with adhesive and cohesive properties
that make of bonding mineral aggregates into a compact whole. In this process,
it imparts strength and durability to the hardened mass called concrete. The
products of hydration The products of hydration form a viscous cement paste,
which coats the aggregates surfaces and fills some of the void spaces between
the aggregate pieces. The freshly set cement paste gains strength with time, on
an account of progressive filling of the void spaces in the paste with reaction
products, also resulting in a decrease in porosity and permeability.
2. Aggregates
Since aggregates occupy about three quarters of the volume of the concrete, it
contributes significantly to the structural performance of concrete, specially
strength, durability and volume stability. In general, aggregates in concrete have
been grouped according to their sizes into fine and coarse aggregates. It is
common to refer to fine aggregate as sand and coarse aggregate as stone.
3. Water
Water has a significant role to play in the making of the concrete- in mixing of
fresh concrete and in curing of hardened concrete. in order to ensure proper
strength development and durability of concrete, it is necessary that the water
used for mixing and curing is free from impurities such as oils, acids, alkalis,
salts, sugar and organic materials.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
Page53
Water that is fit for human consumption is generally considered to be suitable
for concreting. However, when the portability of the water is suspect, its
advisable to perform chemical analysis of water.
4. Admixtures
Admixtures are additives that are introduced in a concrete mix ready to modify
the properties of concrete in its fresh and hardened states. Fast curing
admixtures allow curing concrete within 3 to 5 days after the date of pouring the
concrete. In our site the admixture used was FOSROC Stucturo PCE.
Joints
Any joint, as in a physical break between members, in a concrete structure or
building is a potential weak link which may lead to serviceability problems,
lack of durability or structural failure. But in many situations they are necessary
requirement and sometimes regarded as a necessary evil.
The word ‘joint’ is used in building parlance to cover elements which have to
perform quite different functions e.g. beam-column joint and isolation joint.
Expansion joints were provided to maintain a minimum resistance at a joint.
Reinforcement don’t exceed across expansion joints. An expansion joint
prevents the continuation of cracks from due to differential settlement, variation
in temperature. Expansion joint runs through the entire building from the
ground floor up to the roof. Two columns are used at expansion joints.
Construction joint – A special type of static joint that is provided between two
concrete placements is called a construction joints or cold joint.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
Page54
3.4.7.2 Mixing of concrete
Concrete was casted in two different ways in the site. These are:
1. Batch plant
2. End dump trucks
3.4.7.3 Pouring of concrete
After the concrete is casted the next step is pouring the concrete into the
required place. Before commencing supervision is made for the bars, spacers,
different installations and form work. The equipment used for pouring the
concrete is bucket to carry the concrete, a concrete pump with its temporary
pipeline for carrying the concrete and vibrator for compaction of fresh concrete.
3.4.7.4 Concrete consolidation
Once the concrete has been placed in the form, it must be consolidated. On a
small job, consolidation can be done manually with the help of steel rod. It is,
however, more common to employ a high frequency power driven vibrator.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
Page55
3.4.7.5 Curing
Curing of concrete is providing moisture the concrete continuously for
hydration. A well-cured concrete is denser and, hence, stronger and more
durable. In our site curing of concrete starts from finishing of the pouring and
ends in 7 days.
3.5 My performance during accomplishing work tasks
Absolutely good the reason behind this performance was I integrated with all
workers within a short time and get involved in different site works to gain
more knowledge about the working environment in the site and improve myself
with more site works and office work. Since the site work is very repetitive I
have been working in different sections to get involved and pass through
different piece of works. In general, the last four weeks, I performed all my
duties nicely and get knowledge of the practical world and relate it with the
theory I have learned in the class in the last 3 years. Also I transformed myself
to another level of skill, ethics, knowledge and leadership using this internship
class and I performed it well.
3.6 Challenges I have faced
Construction projects are complex and time consuming undertakings that
require the interaction and cooperation of many different persons to accomplish.
The construction industry is typically divided into speciality areas, with each
area requiring different skills, resources, and knowledge to participate
effectively in it. In order to integrate and work closely in each section it is a
challenging task to on person especially when he /she is fresh or beginner.
Infract some challenges may be solved by me but some are above my limit and

INTERNSHIP REPORT
Page56
even the workers at the site also. In general, I have faced the following
challenges in the internship period:
1) Communication problems with workers in the office and at the site.
2) Shortage of working drawings like structural, architectural, sanitary,
electrical and some other details.
3) Weather condition of the site.
4) Shortage of knowledge in some portion of the work at the site
5) Unsatisfactory answers for questions from engineers
6) Safety facility

Overall benefits of the internship
Internship is a class healed at site to provide an enhanced understanding of the
outside working environment before the student graduate. The main aim of this
internship is to teach that to 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 etc.
In my four-week internship I have acquired much knowledge in different tasks
as explained below in different section.
1. Improving practical skill
The aim of the internship is to address more practical knowledge for student.
So, I found a practical knowledge at site as much possible within the four
weeks. The knowledge we have learned in class is helpful to get those practical
work in the site and totally different from the actual knowledge gained from the
class.
Some of the practical knowledge I gained from the internship class was:
 Construction of formwork and false work for reinforced concrete
structure.
 Bar bending, splicing and tying, according to the specified drawings.
 Casting and pouring of reinforced concrete structures and equipment used
for casting.
 Different construction equipments and their use in construction site.
2. Upgrading the theatrical knowledge
I got the internship class very interesting in terms of upgrading theoretical
knowledge, some of these are:
 Construction equipment
 Report writing

INTERNSHIP REPORT
Page58
3. Upgrading interpersonal communication skills
Communication is sharing or exchanging information or ideas with others in
order to get some messages and knowledge. The communication systems within
the building design and construction enterprise has taken on a large role in the
achievement of profitability and efficiency. In the site the most things I gain is
due to communication with other workers like engineers, skilled and non-skilled
workers, foreman etc. in some place it is very difficult to talk to workers and
ask them what we want because of that they underestimate us and sometimes
they are not eager to tell.
4. Improving leadership skills
Leadership is the process of influencing individuals or groups to accomplish an
organisational goal or mission. I have seen how each worker is controlled and
organised to perform its day to day activities. Among all other managements I
have seen that the human resource management is the most important one.
In the site it was impossible to us to lead anything because we go to the site to
learn about the site work and we don’t have enough capability to handle such
works in short time but we have learned how to become a good leader.
5. Work ethics and related issues
The concept of work ethics may be summarized as the overall quantity in one’s
behaviour towards appreciating the process of work flow and performing rather
well on the job so that tis work flow will not be jeopardized in the long run.
Works ethics involve such characteristics as honesty, responsibility, reliability,
accountability etc.
Punctuality is one of the major issues that could be raised when talking about
work ethics and on my side I tried meet this criterion by attending to my
working station in time so that there will not be any delay on the activities
planned for that day. The behaviour that one shows towards his peers and
colleagues is also one manifestation of the concept of work ethics. Personally, I
always respected and gave priority to the employees of the company.
We as a student should follow the rules and regulations set by the company and
avoid complaining workload, activity or assignment that may rise on the site.
Generally, I can I have gain the potential benefits by taking the
Engineering Internship Program.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
Page59
CONCLUSION
The internship is a bridge between the theorectical knowledge and the practical
or the reality at the work at the field of construction or civil engineering work.
The responsibilities of the hosting company are to teach student and shape them
in the four week as a real site worker. My hosting company is a consultant team
and they help me and my friends who took the internship session in this
company in acquiring different knowledge in different positions. They
collaborate with the contractors to teach us in that section and they believe that
the civil engineering work is more important for us than the consulting office.
This program played an important role to break the conventional thought that
field works can be only implemented by students who hold a degree or people
who have an experience in building construction. We were able to acquire a
high level of confidence to deal with problems that arise in a building
construction.
Since I took my internship session in the RITES Ltd. I get an opportunity to
work in the different party of the construction work which helps me to gain
more knowledge by seeing what they work in their own office and what is their
main responsibilities to the client and also each other. Working with a
consultant team gets me more knowledge than that of the contractor in case that
the consultation work includes the duty of the site engineers and in the
consultant office there are different office that are more important for me to
upgrade my knowledge in different aspects of work. The consultant team by its
nature includes designer team including structural engineers, architects, sanitary
electrical and mechanical engineers, the contract administration and supervision
team includes site coordinators, supervisors and quantity workers and the
financial office. This helps me to get more knowledge than the contractors.
The contractors also avail practical knowledge for us to improve our practical
knowledge status in the field. And also the contractors make us more familiar
with site works starting from communication skill, handling of different site
works equipment utilization manpower control to finishing of the work within
the time scheduled by the client.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
Page60
However, this internship program was not free from challenges. The most
challenge was the amount of money allocated to the project was insufficient to
handle all the expense of the students during the internship experience and
shortage of resource for student like computer, class rooms for student only and
any other problem exist. But they come up with the challenges and teach us how
we must gown to be in the field after the graduation.
Overall the internship program laid sound foundation for us to start our
career. We are proud to be able to contribute towards nation building
during the country's extremely critical period of the history. It will be
definitely sensible to scale this practice up and to replicate in other
disciplines as well.
