5. ABSTRACT
The internship program is designed to provide students engaged in a
field experience within opportunity to share their insight, to explore the
links between students’ academic preparation and their field work, and to
assist participants in developing and carrying out the major research
project which will serve culminate their internship experience.
An internship is a period of work experience offered by an organization
for a limited period of time. Once confined to medical graduates, the term
is now used for wide range of placements in business, non-profit
organization and government agencies. They are undertaken by students
and graduates looking to gain relevant skills and experience in a particular
field. Employers benefit from these placements because they often recruit
employees from their interns, who have known capabilities, thus saving
time and money in the long run.
Typically, an internship consists of an exchange of service for experience
between the intern and the organization. Internship are used to
determine if the interns still have an interest in that field after the real-life
experience. In addition, an internship can be used to create a professional
network that can assist with letters of recommendation or lead to future
employment opportunities. The benefit of brining an intern into full-time
employment is that they are already with the company, their position, and
they typically need to no training.

14. MIVAN TECHNOLOGY
Mivan shuttering is a fast-paced construction technique which offers strength and
durability to a building by use of aluminium formworks.
ASSEMBLE THE MASSIVE SHAPE
Because of the effortlessness of the aluminum formwork and the tedious idea of the
get together cycle, it is feasible to configuration building scenes precisely and,
thusly, a whole lot sooner handling time. Besides, it permits gifted specialists to help
out molds, diminishing the weight on them when there is a lack of capable laborers.
All boards are obviously distinguished and amassed utilizing standard formwork
drawings prior to leaving the item office for simple recognizable proof nearby.
Mivan accentuates the utilization of cutting-edge development advances and gear in
the entirety of its activities. Subsequent to leaving the MIVAN fabricating office, all
boards are plainly set apart with their space to guarantee that distinctions on the
site are light and can be amassed utilizing pass on adjusting drawings.
MIVAN FORMWORK ASSEMBLY

15. WORK CYCLE
Mivan is a method of scheduling and maintaining work cycles produced by other
related building styles, such as steel-reinforced solid formations, in which the work
cycle follows a specific assembly. After that, the sections and are placed at the stage
level. This exercise takes 7 to 10 hours to complete. In 7 hours, the kickers and
outdoor suite are complete. In 6 hours, the wall shutters will be built. The main
reinforcements took 10 to 12 hours. Finally, the bob electrical conduit is fixed, and
concrete is poured. This is a well-synchronized cycle of 7 days from 10 to 12 hours.
Cementing is then left until the solids have taken quality before the next cycle
begins and the molds are assembled from side to side in a quick and easy manner.
All panels are clearly marked when leaving the Mivan processing facility, ensuring
that they can be easily identified and installed nearby.
The regimen usually follows a four-day cycle
Day 1: The first task is to install the vertical reinforcement bars and part of the entire
floor or floor on one side of the vertical formwork.
Day 2: The second task is to create the second part of the vertical formwork as well
as pouring the concrete.
Day 3: Installation of floor slab reinforcement bars, walls and casting panels.
Day 4: Column-shaped work boards are removed after 24 hours, kept in place for 7
days and formwork is kept for 2.5 days.

16. Formwork – Components
The plate, which is important for an aluminium bar welded to an aluminium sheet, is
the principle part of the shape. The outcome is a lightweight board with a high
extent to weight proportion, which avoids the substantial marginally under tension.
Boards can be made to any measure or shape to address the issues of explicit
applications. The boards are made of high-strength aluminium amalgam and have a
4mm thick facade plate and 6mm thick ribbed sponsorship to build up it. Mivan's
exceptional offices in Europe and Southeast Asia produce boards. Whenever they
are constructed, they go through a preliminary erection cycle to preclude any
dimensional or positional issues. The most commonly used components in
construction are listed below.

Setting up the wall reinforcing steel
Placement of aluminium formwork
Pouring concrete
Setting up the wall reinforcing steel:-
The wall reinforcing steel is used to give a structure to the building and
support the concrete until they gain half of the required strength. The
aluminium formworks are cast around the steel mesh, which is factory
made and directly erected on the construction site.

32. SHEAR WALL AND MIVAN WALL IN CONSTRUCTION SITE
Reinforcement
 Steel is the major part of construction; reinforcement provides
tensile strength for the concrete. Although steel is manufactured
somewhere else but like batching plant to make concrete there is a
steel yard also to cut the steel into the specified shapes. For proper
administrating the construction and fast progress of the work “Bar
Bending Schedule” generally called BBS. Every steel rod has a
number which is clearly mentioned in the RC drawings. BBS is made
for each drawing and shall be handed over to the sub-contractors to
cut the steel according to it. There will be monthly quality check of
the steel 1 sample is taken and sent for third party testing.
 BBS contains all the parts of the steel for the respective structural
member. It has different structural members and the all types of
steel rods with respective shapes. Those steel rods are after been cut
and bent into the respective shapes are labelled with respective
number so that it will be easy for the workmen to pick them up for a
member and tie it up fast without an extra cross checking.

33.  Lap-length is the length that one bar should be tied to another in
case of extending it and it varies with the grade of concrete. The
development length for M40 it should be greater than equal to
36xdiameter, M30 it should be greater than equal to 46xdiameter
and for M25 it should be greater than equal to 49xdiameter.
 As there are grades in concrete there are different types of steels
the one used here is Fe500 which means 500 is the minimum yield
stress in N/mm2
of the steel and it is mentioned in general notes
that everywhere fy(Y) refers to Fe500. In our site HYSD bars are used.
The works such as bending the bars and making stirrups are handed
over to sub-contractors. The sub-contractors are given Bar Bending
Schedule and seeing that they will cut bend and label the steel into
the respective dimensions. There is a separate machine for stirrups
because one will be needing many stirrups in a construction site.
Placement of aluminium formwork:-
Along the wall reinforcing steel, prefabricated room sized walls and floor
slabs are erected. These aluminium alloy slabs are accurately made and
are easy to handle. Spaces for windows, ducts, doors and other features
such as staircases, pannels and sunshade(chajjas) are also integrated in
these structures. The forms are joint together using the pin and wedge
system, which can be dismantled quickly after the concrete structure is
made.
The sequence of orders and method of removal of formwork are as
follows:

34.  Shuttering forming the vertical faces of walls, beams and column
sides should be removed in the above order first, as they bear no
load but only retain the concrete.
 Shuttering forming soffit of slabs should be removed next.
 Shuttering forming soffit of beams, girders or other heavily loaded
shuttering should be removed in the end.
METHOD FOR FORM WORK:-
 Formwork Drawings
Site will be provided with a set of formwork drawings which entailed the
followings: -
Shell Plan Layout, Formwork layout drawings, Elevations and sections
drawings indicating the location of formwork panels and component,

35. Typical Fixing Detail drawings and location of Box outs and Transfer Box
out drawings for transfer of Formwork, etc.
 Pre-Check
 Check if the shutters are properly cleaned by removing the concrete/
mortar and protruding nails.
 Formwork shall be made to the exact dimensions within the
permissible tolerances as mentioned below.
 Required thickness and quality of steel conforming to IS 6461 shall be
used to meet the requirements of design and surface finish.
 For beam bottom & sides, proper size of steel at required spacing shall
be provided to take the design loads/ pressure considering sleeves,
conduit anchors & inserts.
PRE CHECKING OF ALUMINIUM FORMWORK

36.  Erection of formwork
 Sufficiently rigid and tight to prevent the loss of grout or mortar
from the concrete.
 Capable of providing concrete of the correct shape and surface
finish within the specified tolerance limits.
 Soffits forms capable of imparting a camber if required.
 The formwork may be of timber, plywood, steel, plastic or concrete
depending upon the type of finish specified.
 Erect staging/shuttering as per drawing/sketches in such a way that
de-shuttering can be done easily including provision for re-
propping, if planned.
 Check the location, line, level, plumb and dimensions of the
formwork to ensure that the deviations are within the permissible
limits.
 Provide bracing at proper places & intervals as specified by the
manufacturer or as per formwork scheme to take care of lateral
loads.
 Apply mould oil/other coatings as release agents before
reinforcement steel is placed.

37.  Wire ties passing through beams, columns and walls shall not be
allowed. In their place bolts passing through sleeves shall be used.
For liquid retaining structures, sleeves shall not be provided for
through bolts.
 Check all the shutters are properly aligned and fixed firmly with
required lateral supports and ties.
 Check all the spanning members have proper bearing at the
supports.
 Forms shall be thoroughly cleaned of all dirt, mortar and other
matters such as metals, blocks, saw dust and foreign materials
before concreting if required through clean-out openings.
 Check all the gaps/openings are properly closed to avoid leakages.
 Check all the inserts and openings are exactly placed as per the
drawings.
 In case of leakages, bulging and sagging immediate actions shall be
taken by tightening wedges or adjusting by jacks which must be
done before the concrete takes its initial set.
 Wedges or jacks shall be secured in position after the final check of
alignment.
 Removal of Forms
 Formwork components shall not be dropped but shall be lowered
without damage to the components and structures. All the removed

38. formwork materials shall be thoroughly scarped, cleaned immediately
and stacked properly for reuse.
 All forms shall be removed after the minimum period stipulated
mentioned below without damage to the concrete including removal
without shock as per IS 456.

39. Batching Plant
A Concrete Batching Plant is a machine to manufacture Concrete from its
ingredients viz Cement, Crushed Stone, Sand, Water and Admixture
Chemicals. The word Batching Plant comes from the word "Batch", which
essentially means that concrete is manufactured in measured bathes inside
a Concrete Batching Plant.
Material feeding:-
 Cement OPC 53 Grade
 Fly Ash
 Aggregate 10mm
 Aggregate 20mm
 Crushed Stone Dust
 Sand
 Water
 Poly Vinyl Plasticizers
Grade Of Concrete Used In Construction:-
 M20 for PCC work
 M30 for Slab Casting
 M40 for Shear Wall and Foundation.
Concrete Strength Test Result:-
Grade Of
Concrete
7 Days 14 Days 28 Days
M20 22.15 N/mm2 27.83 N/mm2 34.59 N/mm2
M30 34.63 N/mm2 42.34 N/mm2 60.13 N/mm2
M40 42.29 N/mm2 48.22 N/mm2 55.72 N/mm2

41. Pouring Concrete:-
After casting the forms, high-quality concrete is poured. This concrete
takes the form and shape of the cast, which is later removed to make way
for a structure made entirely of cement concrete supported by wall
reinforcing steel. The aluminium forms can be reused at least 250 times,
resulting in minimum waste from the construction site Ensure site
coordinators are available and on stand-by during the concreting process.
Always ensure that concrete pouring is distributed evenly throughout the
wall sections before commencing to cast the slab level areas. This is to
prevent loading pressure on the formwork panels due to uneven casting.
Recheck the areas whenever cement slurry leakage is noted to determine
the cause of it. Remedy work should be done immediately to ensure the
concreting process is not affected. During concreting, always ensure that
immediate step is taken to remove/clean all the excess concrete that is
stuck on the back of the formwork panels. Non removal will result in the
formwork panels getting too heavy and also the scrapping task after the
concrete has dried up becomes more tedious.

43. CURING
Curing of concrete is defined as providing adequate moisture, temperature, and
me to allow the concrete to achieve the desired proper es for its intended use.
Curing is essen al for the hydra on of cement in concrete making. So, to
maintain required moisture content. From the next day of concre ng the curing
has to be done con nuously for the next 7 days. The curing has been done by
the spraying method for aluminium formwork structures. For conven onal
structure, membrane curing has been done.

44. Advantages of Mivan Technology
 The time frame for the construction is drastically reduced and is
more advantages and sustainable for fast track project.
 As the walls are casted along with slab as monolithic, the time for
construction of walls and plaster is reduced.
 Wall thickness is reduced and hence the dead load is reduced and
economically the structure and foundation can be designed.
 These structures result unnatural high strength against natural
disastrous due to its unique style monolithic structure as compared
to the conventional.
 Number of activities can be reduced.
 The form (Mivan Shuttering) is a self-aligning and locking system
which ensures dimensional accuracy with less manpower.
Disadvantages of Mivan Technology
 Its initial cost and setup time is higher than conventional formwork.
 Less Scope of modification or alteration.
 Visible finishing lines.
 Expensive in construction.
 Can have contraction cracks.

45. FOUNDATION
Foundation is one of the essential parts of the structure. It is defined as
that part of the structure that transfers the load from the structure
constructed on it as well as its weight over a large area of soil in such a
way that the amount does not exceed the ultimate bearing capacity of the
soil and the settlement of the whole structure remains within a tolerable
limit. Foundation is the part of a structure on which the building stands.
The solid ground on which it rests is known as the foundation bed.
Raft or Mat Foundation:-
Raft or Mat foundations are used where other shallow or pile foundations
are not suitable. It is also recommended in situations where the bearing
capacity of the soil is inadequate, the load of the structure is to be
distributed over a large area, or the structure is subjected continuously to
shocks or jerks.
A raft foundation consists of a reinforced concrete slab or T-beam slab
placed over the entire area of the structure. In this type, the whole
basement floor slab acts as the foundation. The total load of the structure
is spread evenly over the entire area of the structure. This is called a raft
because, in this case, the building seems like a vessel that floats on a sea of
soil.
Raft foundations are economic when:-
 The soil is weak and the load has to be spread over a large area.
 The structure includes a basement.
 Columns are closely placed.
 Other kinds of foundations are not feasible.
 Differential settlement is to be prevented.

46. FOUNDATION IN CONSTRUCTION SITE

47. TOTAL STATION
A total station is an electronic/optical instrument used in
modern surveying and building construction that uses electronic transit
theodolite in conjunction with electronic distance meter (EDM). It is also
integrated with microprocessor, electronic data collector and storage
system
The instrument is used to measure sloping distance of object to the
instrument, horizontal angles and vertical angles. This Microprocessor unit
enables for computation of data collected to further calculate the
horizontal distance, coordinates of a point and reduced level of point.
Data collected from total station can be downloaded into
computer/laptops for further processing of information.
DISTANCE MEASUREMENT:-
1. Setting of the Atmospheric Correction When setting the atmospheric
correction, obtain the correct value by measuring the temperature and
pressure.
2. Setting of the Correction for Prism Constant Topcon’s prism constant
value is 0. Set correction for prism at 0. If the prism is of another
manufacture, the appropriate constant shall be set beforehand.
3. Distance Measurement (Continuous Measurement)
Make sure the mode displays angle measurement.
