The document provides a summary of the internship done by Vivek Kumar at a construction site for a multi-purpose sports facility building at UPES. It discusses the objectives and significance of the internship, which included gaining practical work experience, relating to different people, and acquiring additional knowledge beyond the classroom. It also summarizes the schedule for construction of the building, tests performed in the laboratory on materials like cement and aggregates, activities performed during site visits like formwork construction and understanding drainage, and concludes that the internship helped link theoretical knowledge to practical applications.

5. Objectives of the Training
 To impart theoretical skills into practical work.
 To gain business work experience
 To relate with different categories of people in a
working environment.
 To gain exposure to the demand and challenges of the
work place.
 To obtain/ acquire knowledge.
Significance of the internship
 The training has helped me to gain business work
experience since it involved practical work in a
business environment.
 The training has equipped me with more knowledge
in addition to that obtained in class in relation to the
working environment.
 The training has managed to expose me to the
challenges in the work place and how the challenges
can be overcame.
 The training has also helped me in making
connections with various people who in future may be
a helping hand to me.

8. Summary
Our four week internship started onmay 17 2018. During this period we
were involved in several thingsfrom map reading tosite visiting, from
calculating excavationtodrainageconstruction, etc. Following arethe
activitiesthat wereworked on:
 We started byunderstanding thelayout of the map and learning to
read the same.
 Establishment ofthe base referencepoint which is used for the
establishing thegrid lines. The coordinateofthis point is taken

9. which is further used as a basepoint from where all the setup is
done.
 Learnt about trench and ditch.
 Estimationofthe totalamount of excavationfor thefoundation.
 Estimationofthe cost of the totalexcavationfor all the foundation.
 Estimationofthe number of bricksina given section.
 Estimationof totalquantityof PCC required.
 Estimationofthe totalcost for laying thePCC.
 Reasons for laying up the PCC beneath thefoundationof a building.
 Reasons for using tiesand stirrupsincolumns and beams
respectively.
 Measuresto be takento ensure safety at site. Equipmentssuch as
work boots, work gloves, helmets, high visibilitygarmentsareused.
 Idea about lap length and development length.
 We cameacrossmainbar and distributionbar.
 Idea about one way and two wayslab.

10. SITE VISIT
Sitevisiting waslike cherry added to our theoreticalknowledge. It helped
us to relate all learnt conceptsto real situations. Following pointsarethe
short descriptionofthe thingsdone at site.
 We encountered formworkthat consisted of centering, shutteringand
scaffolding. The centering wasused to support thehorizontal surface
and the shuttering wasused as a support to verticalsections. The
scaffolding was used for supporting labor.
 Manyprops were used on the sitefor supporting slabsusing batten.
 Use of staging.
 The shuttering ofthe slabs should be removed first followed by the
removal of the shuttering of thebeam.
 We also witnessed drainageconstructionand variouscurvesgiven
insideit in order to minimize damageinwalls.
 Brickwork -The beginning step in brickwork is the constructionof
starter which ismadeby using concretein thesame positionwhere
the brickworkis to be done. It is done so as to keep the brickwork
straight. Thesearealso used for connecting thewall to the floor base.
Brickwork startsby providing a small gap at the basew.r.t the
column so that skirting canbe carried out later.

11.  Casting of column is done in stagesi.e first till plinth level, then upto
level of slab and finally till roof level.
 Constructionand functionof plinth beam.
 Use of ties and stirrup incolumnsand beamsrespectively.
 Importanceof cover and cover block provided.
 Use of wire chair provided betweenreinforcement meant for
compressionand tension.
 General idea of bar bending schedule. The length of steel stirrup and
the tiesexpand by diameter ‘d’ of the steel if it is bent at right angle
and by d/2 if it is bent at 45 degreeangle.
 Pouring and compactionofconcretewaseasily understood.
Compactionofconcretethrough vibrator helped us to understand the
logic behind compaction.
 Curing was done by spreading jutecloth on the sectionsto be cured.
 Plastering: oneday prior to plastering bullmarkismadeon the
walls/ceiling so as to level walls/ceiling properly.
 Removal of shuttering: walls, columns and verticalfacesof structural
memberswere deshuttered in24 hrs. Propsunder slabsand beams
were removed after 7 days and 24 days respectively.

12. Conclusion
The aim of internship exercise was to acquire practical
skills and link theory that is taught in classroom to the real
world. I am quite confident to announce that this program
has been able to polish my basics and creativity skills. I
have acquired practical skills and experienced site
conditions that actually exists. I was fortunate to witness
ongoing project running in the university itself. Such inter
programs opportunities must often be given to the
students so that learning can become more meaningful in
classroom.
