ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
2.1 SAFETY DEPARTMENT
Safety is very important in construction industry. Human life is irreplaceable, which is
susceptible of minor infections. Now a day it has become common to hear accident on
the construction industry. More accidents are becoming redundant the responsibility
of the contractors and the attention to give to safety of the workers is progressing to
be paramount. Therefore, it cannot be denied to work on increasing the safety
condition of the site. The most effective way of avoiding risks is the preventive
strategy. As the health professionals use to say “prevention is better than cure”, it is
more than reasonable to be abide by such motto. Less concerned safety rule,
regulation and training are among the problem in the site.
Safety of all working staffs and visitors should be observed to a highest care.
Infliction of injury shall be minimized. For this prior readiness is very important. The
safety management is carried out with a special superintendent to be assigned on site.
The superintendent will be assisted with a dresser to be employed for the site. Safety
of the workers and visitors will be managed in the following strategies.
2.1.1 General Rules

2.2 QUALITY DEPARTMENT
Quality of the products in construction site is very important. The company quality
assurance manager is the representative of the project and had the responsibility for
the implementation and maintenance of the quality management system. The quality
control manager has the responsibility of the coordination and inspection of all
procured items for site. Quality assurance manager ensures the quality of the site
installations is consistent with the company’s policy requirements together with
national and international standards and the customer specification. Manager ensures
the verification of documentation and certificates for materials purchased by vendors
and also reviewing of site purchase orders to ensure that the applicable requirements
are met.
Good quality material is implemented on site is very necessary. The maintenance of
the quality of the work is the main objective of the company. The company quality
management system performs various activities to maintain the quality of the work
and materials. The quality manager ensures the quality of the site works and
respective materials that are procured at the site.
2.2.1 Tests Conducted on Site
The quality management team ensures the verification of various materials purchased
from vendors by conducting respective tests according to the standard specification.
The various tests conducted in the site are as follows
2.2.2 Sieve Analysis
Sieve analysis is one of the main tests conducted to determine the size range of the
particles.

 It is one of the mechanical analyses for the determination of size range of
particles present in aggregates.
 It is for particle size larger than 0.075mm in diameter.
 Sieve analysis consists of shaking the sample through a set of sieves thet have
progressively smaller openings.
Procedure
 We have to take some amount of sample and determine the weight of that
sample.
 Now we have to adjust the sieve sizes in increasing order from the bottom.
 Determine the weight of the sample retained on each sieve and in the pan.
 Determine the cumulative mass of soil retained above each sieve.
2.2.3 Slump Test
Slump test is conducted in the RMC plant itself. In rear cases if needed then only in
site also test will be conducted. In the time of concreting slump value of concrete at
RMC plant is maintained about 120+/- 5 and there may be slight variation may occur
but i was not considered as a major problem. In case of major variation due to
atmospheric condition or may be traffic condition there may be delay in the supply of
concrete to the site, in this case RMC plant experts will suggest site engineers to put
some water and then to use.
Slump test is the most widely used test in the field and laboratory which is used to
check the consistency of concrete used at a construction site. It provides useful
information on the uniformity in the day to day or even hour to hour production of
concrete. The main apparatus used for this test was 30cm height, 20 cm bottom width
and 10cm top width cylindrical cone, 60cm tamping rod and iron plate. The
workability depends on the reversed gap between the cone and the fresh concrete after
tamping and removing the cone.
The workability is classified as:
Very low when height is 0-25mm
Low when the height is 25-50mm
Medium when the height is 50-100mm

Procedure
 The cone is filled with concrete by four layers. For each layer you have to give
25 strokes by using tamping rod.
 The cone is lifted slowly.
 The unsupported concrete cone slumps down by its own weight.
 The decrease in the height of the slumped cone is called slump of concrete.
Based on the above procedure conduct a test at the site and the result was medium.
After getting testing result work was proceed.
2.2.4 Compressive Strength of Concrete
The purpose of the test is to determine the compressive strength of the concrete. This
test is very important to know the strength of the cement or concrete. This test is
conducted in the laboratory. Depending upon the test results it can be decided if
concrete is suitable to use or not. RMC plant will provide all the test reports along
with the concrete. But in rear cases it is very important to test the concrete after
concrete mixer truck reaches the site or may be before commencing the concreting
work. In some cases site mixed concrete are also used at site. Then it is very important
to test the compressive strength of the concrete. Here in the site for column concreting
site mixed concrete are used. Figure 2.1 shows test report of M25 concrete used for
column.
Figure 2.1: Compressive Strength Report of M15 concrete.

Procedure
Place the specimen in the machine and slowly bring the blocks to bear on the
specimen without shock until failure occurs.
Operate the machine at a constant rate within the range of 0.140 to 0.350 Mpa per
second.
2.3 MATERIALS
In construction site different types of materials are used and it is the main constituents
of the construction. The material will be supplied from same company or from
contractor side as per work order and total budget project. The materials supplied to
the site will be tested in site itself before handover. The quality control department
will take responsible for all the materials quality. The total project quality depends
upon the quality control department.
Figure 2.2: Materials of Steel formwork, wooden formwork and steel
reinforcement at site
To find the materials quality status the tested material values will be recorded daily if
it is daily loaded for example concrete blocks. Different materials will be supplied in
bulk process. Ex cement, steel, sand, aggregates, etc., if the materials are not supplied
correctly to the site and this is not good for both company and the contractor.

Different materials present in the site Sai Radha Nest are shown in the Figure 2.2 to
2.5.

2.4 LEVELS IN THE COMPANY
The working flow of the contractor has many advantages in order to work every task
closely and to solve problems that arise during construction process. In every work
there is a work flow whatever the small is the section. Every work is based on the
Figure 2.6 shown below.

a) Design and Supervision Team: The team includes structural engineer,
architectural engineer, sanitary engineers, electrical engineers and other
experienced engineers in other professions. The design and supervision team
is a team which guide every work executed in the site and gives supervision
for the contractor based on the drawings and specifications. This team mostly
comes to the site when there is a misunderstanding in drawings, working
techniques, drawing detailing error. The team provides continuous service to
the project from start to finish, establishing and maintaining the quality and
integrity of each design.
b) Project Engineer: This include reviewing design, supervising construction
process and scheduling, start up process systems / equipments or facilities for

orders, invoice and payment applications which may include final payment.
So, the resident engineer mostly control every work as much as possible in
terms of their quality, cost and time. Testing of materials delivered at site and
safety of workers starting from managers to daily workers is also the duty of
the resident engineer.
c) Project Coordinator: The project coordinator has so many responsibilities at
the site and is appointed by the owner of the construction company. The main
duty of the coordinator is to manage the whole site work execution. Project
coordinator makes payment to the subcontractors, approves material request,
analysis the work process, executes sub contracting agreements, reviews and
checks the reports made by the office engineer.
d) Site Engineer: Site engineer shall be accountable for the following tasks and
responsibilities.
 Studying the work plan submitted by the contractor and suggests any
modifications.
 To watch and inspect the construction work and assure that it is done
in full accordance with drawings, technical specifications and bill of
quantities.

 Supervising the works on site in accordance with contract documents
and using the template and procedure established by the consultant.
 Inspecting and testing materials prior to their use at site as per sample
approved by the consultant and ensuring removal of rejected material
out from the site.
 Ensuring the correct implementation of the work according to technical
specifications, drawings and quantity of materials.
 Checking of layout and setting out of buildings with respect to existing

 Ensuring that health and safety measures are adopted and followed to
the full extent.
 Prepare weekly report, suggest and instruct additional safety measures
if needed.
 Maintaining a filing system for all site memos and instructions,
measured quantities of work and material on site, reports and other
documents and correspondence pertaining to the construction
activities.
 Maintain a site order book to be made available for the senior officers
to write comments or defects in construction noticed during site visits
and carrying out compliance at site.
e) Fore Man: A foreman is a worker who is incharge of a construction crew and
is a skilled supervisor who is responsible to work side by side with the project
coordinator and other construction design engineers in order to complete the
project in the given time limit. His job is to employ the suitable workers on the

3.1 OVERALL WORK EXPERIENCE
Since I finish 2nd
semester class and I got the letter for internship from the department
HOD. So, I have been searching a hosting company but I don‘t get any company that
satisfy my own interest because they don‘t have the ability and the capacity to teach
intern student and also some company reject student because student from other
universities apply first. Due to those reason and other disabilities I did not find any
company.
After searching for two weeks I got entry into a company called Sai Radha
Developers, Udupi. Then I met with the HR manager of that company and I discussed
about my internship program. He given me an orientation about the overall work that
I should perform throughout the whole internship months and told me that I can begin
my work from next day. As he told I joined the company and begin to work.
My hosting company has many projects in Udupi, Manipal and Mangalore as I
mentioned in the company profile. Thus from those listed I have been working in the
Sai Radha PRIDE - J WING project, Brahmagiri, Udupi. The project consists of 5972
sqft built-up areas comprises 14 flats of 2BHK, 42 flats of 3BHK spanning 1365-1890
Sqft over G+14 floors. But when I was arrived at the site, drive way slab, step column
and tile work is the only ongoing works.
In addition to these there are two more building projects which are under construction
they are Sai Radha Nest 1 and 2, behind MGM ground, udupi. Sai Radha Nest 1
having 16000 Sq ft built-up areas comprises 80 flats of 1BHK, 35 flats of 2BHK
spanning 640-1105 Sqft over G+4 floors. Sai Radha Nest 2 having 13500 Sq ft built-
up areas comprises 9 flats of 1BHK, 51 flats of 2BHK, 8 flats of 3BHK spanning
875-1513 Sqft over G+4 floors. But when I was arrived at the site, window chajja, 1st
floor slab, column, beam, and arch for entrance opening formwork and concreting
work are the ongoing works.
Generally I have been working in the two sections. I classify the work into office
work and site works, mostly the work I have been executing on the site is supervising.
In my four month internship period I experience Office works that includes Reading,

3.2.2 Estimation
Estimation is the probable cost of the job as computed from plans and specifications. I
estimated probable cost of the project Sai Radha Heights which is one of the
upcoming projects using crossing method. But for my knowledge i also did estimation
of one of the 1BHK flat which is shown in Table 3.1. I also came to know how
estimation is done and what may be the problems we may face during estimating any
building or an apartment and i thoroughly become expert in estimation any of the
building further. An estimation of 1BHK flat is shown in Table 3.1.

3.3 SITE WORK
The site work was the very important task for me because the internship main
objective lies over there and I have gain more knowledge from the site. For girls
company will not allow to visit site daily because of security reason. So I used to visit
the site once in a week and I watch all those works which are ongoing there. Within a
short time I 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.
The site work that I have been trough in the four month internship period was in the
super structure work exclusively. A normal building consists of two parts in general
this are the super structure and the sub structure. Any structure below the ground floor
slab level including the basement, retaining walls, ground slab, grade beam, and
foundation is called a substructure. Super structure is the part of a building which
extend above the grade beam or everything above the sub structure includes slab,
column, walls, roof etc. the purpose of the super structure is to enclose and divide
space as well as spread load safely in to the sub structure. I have seen that how slab,
column, and beam reinforcement work, concreting work, form work, curing, and
block work and tiles work was done.
3.4 CONCRETE FORM WORK
As fresh concrete is in plastic state when it is placed for construction purpose so, it
becomes 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 form work. Concrete formwork serves as a mould to produce concrete elements
having a desired size and configuration. It is usually erected for this purpose and then
removed after the concrete has cured to a satisfactory strength. In some cases,
concrete forms may be left in place to become part of the permanent structure. 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 the forms. In both Sai Radha Pride J Wing
and Nest sites the form work materials used were the GI material which can be
reusable and in some cases wood materials.

 GI forms are stronger, durable and have longer life and reuses are more in
number.
 It can be installed and dismantled with greater ease and speed.
 The quantity of exposed concrete surface by using steel forms is good and
such surfaces need no further treatment.
 It does not absorb moisture from concrete.
 Steel formwork does not shrink or warp.
The general step used to construct a formwork in the site is:
 Prepare the false works in the desired position and level.
 Preparing the form work in a desired shape based on the drawing or the size of
the structure that is going to be cast.
 Bolting it with appropriate bracing element and false work.
Dismantling of the formwork commenced after the allowable dates have elapsed since
the day of the concrete casting. Accordingly column and side formworks will be
dismantled after 16 hours elapsed from the concrete casting and other soffit
formworks should stay in position until the concrete gets cured. The dates of
dismantling for the soffit formworks were shortened by the use of fast curing concrete
admixtures. The use of these admixtures will allow them to move fast forward with
the construction and immediate utilization of the formwork on other successive
structures. Figure 3.3 shows form work for slab at Sai Radha Nest Project site.
Figure 3.3 Form Work at Sai Radha Nest Project site.

The formworks of any type and of any place will be required:
 To be rigid enough to confine plastic concrete at the lines grades and
dimensions indicated on the form plans without bulging or sagging under the
load,
 To be constructed as mortar tight as possible to prevent the loss of concrete
ingredients throughout the joints between the sections, and
 To be easy to remove with minimal damage to the concrete surface.
In case of failure to attain the required strength the conventional date of dismantling
the formwork will be respected.
3.5 BLOCK WORK
Construction of solid blocks bonded together with mortar is termed as block masonry.
The strength of the block work primarily depends upon quality and strength of the
blocks, types of mortar and the method of bonding adopted in construction. Mortar
not only acts as a cementing material but also imparts strength to the work by holding
the individual blocks together to act as a homogeneous mass. Mortar usually a
mixture of cement and sand or lime and sand or the mixture of three. The strength of
the masonry also depends on the nature of workmanship and supervision. Figure 3.4
shows block work at site.
The general principle which would be observed for a sound block masonry
construction is given below.
 The blocks used in a good work should be sound, hard and well burnt with
uniform size, shape and colour. They should have no cracks or flaws and a
fractured surface should be free from holes, grit or lumps of lime etc.,
 The floor shall be cleaned for any dirt or unwanted materials.
 The marking of the block wall shall be made with the proper supervision of
the engineer using the respective drawings and specifications.
 Concrete bed layer shall be laid and above which the first layer of the block
will be placed with proper spacing of mortar. The blocks should be slightly
pressed into the bed mortar while laying so as to ensure proper adhesion.
 All the courses should be laid truly horizontal and all the vertical joints should
be truly vertical.

 All the joints should be properly flushed and filled with mortar so that no
cavity is left in between.
 Half block partition walls should be reinforced with suitable reinforcement
placed at every third or fourth course of the block work. The reinforcement
may be in form of mild steel bars, flat bars, expanded mesh etc.,
Figure 3.4: Block work at Sai Radha Nest Project.
 All the finished masonry work should be kept wet for at least 7 days.
 Plastering should be done after about 28 days of completion of block masonry.
This permits adequate time for the shrinkage in masonry and concrete to take
place before plastering operation is carried out.

3.6 PLASTERING
This is a process of covering rough surfaces with a plastic material to obtain an even,
smooth, regular, clean and durable surface. Plastering conceals defective
workmanship and covers up unsound and cheap quality material. Plastering is
required to provide a satisfactory base for decorating the surface by white washing,
colour washing, painting. The plaster is made by working together a mixture of
building materials which may be cement, lime or clay, fine aggregate and water. Fine
sand is often recommended for plastering and it should be so graded that it does not
pass by more than 5% through a sieve. Sand used should be clean, sharp and free from
deleterious matter.
Figure 3.5: Ceiling and wall plastering at Sai Radha Nest Project site.
Plastering was done in two coats for external wall and single coat for internal wall.
External wall 2 coats because one coat is with only mortar and the other outer coat is
of mortar with weather proof course. 100 to 150 sqft/day work is completed by the
workers. Figure 3.5 shows Ceiling and wall plastering at Sai Radha Nest project site.
Table 3.5 and 3.6 Shows details of plastering and details of materials required for
plastering of about 1m2
areas respectively.

Preparation of the surface for plastering
 The durability of the plaster depends to a great extent upon its adhesion with
the block masonry. The preparation of surface for plastering is therefore of
prime importance.
 All the projections which extend by more than 30mm from the general surface
of the masonry wall face are knocked off to obtain surface and this also helps
to reduce consumption of plaster.
 In order to obtain a good key for the plaster with the wall surface, all the joints
in the masonry are raked out for depth of at least 13mm.
 Dust or loose mortar is brushed out of the raked joints. The surface is rendered
free from oily/greasy spots.
 The surface is thoroughly washed with water and kept wet before paltering is
commenced.

 To ensure required thickness and a true surface, bull mark of plaster are first
of all applied horizontally and vertically at about 1.8m apart over the entire
surface. This surface patches of plaster serves as gauges for maintain even
thickness of the plaster being applied.
 Mortar is then applied on the wall between the screed and trowel.

3.7 REINFORCEMENT WORK
Concrete is much weaker in tension than in compression. Its tensile strength is
approximately 10% of its compressive strength. Therefore, concrete is generally used
in conjunction with steel reinforcement, which provides the tensile strength in a
concrete member. The use of plain concrete without steel reinforcement is limited to
pavements and some slabs-on-ground. Steel is the ideal material to complement
concrete because the thermal expansion of both materials is the same. In other words,
when heated or cooled, both steel and concrete expand or contract equally.
Consequently, no stress is caused by differential expansion or contraction. Composite
materials that expand differentially are subjected to such stresses. Figure 3.6 shows
reinforcement works at Sai Radha Pride J Wing Project site..
Figure 3.6: Reinforcement Work at Sai Radha Nest Project site
Steel also bonds well with concrete. In a composite material, the bond between two
materials is necessary for it to function as a single material. The bond between steel
and concrete is due to the chemistry of the two materials, which produces a chemical
bond between them. Additionally, as water from concrete evaporates, it shrinks and
grips the steel bars, making a mechanical bond.
The mechanical bond is enhanced by using reinforcing bars, or rebar, that have
surface deformations. Because a mechanical bond is a function of the area of contact
between the two materials, surface deformations increase that area, thereby increasing
the bond. For the same reason, rebar that have a light, firm layer of rust bonds better
with concrete. Rust that is produced by leaving rebar outdoors on a construction site
for a few days or weeks is not objectionable as long as the rust is not loose or flaky.

Loose and flaky crust should be scraped using burlap or a piece of cloth. Excessively
rusted rebar should not be used. Reinforcement grade of Fe 500 is extensively used in
both the projects Sai Radha Pride J Wing and Nest. Bars in the range of 8mm to
25mm were used in the projects. Figure 3.7 shows bar bending workshop at Sai Radha
Nest Project site.
Before bulk purchase and transporting to the site they were conduct tensile strength
test from the store, by taking sample from a place where they are intending to supply
the material. Such sampling will involve the Consulting Office and the result will be
communicated. When they receive approval, as it fulfils the expected minimum
tensile strength, they proceed to the purchase of the same. Place of deposit was made
ready before its arrival on site where it should be damped.
Figure 3.7: Bar bending Workshop at Sai Radha Nest Project site
A platform elevated from the top surface of the soil, that would ensure the avoidance
of minimum contact were prepared. Then placed there, and was protected from any
detrimental moisture, grease or oil or other substances that may affect its quality.
Shop drawing or bar schedule was produced by the Office Engineer, in accordance to
the structural design. This shop drawing or bar schedule was submitted to the
Resident Engineer and upon his approval mass production will be induced. Figure 3.8
shows reinforcement storage yard at Sai Radha Nest Project site.
Bar bending workshop were situated in a place where it could be close to the site
where the bar is going to be placed in position. The bending of all types of
reinforcement bars was take place within the workshop. Except the column
reinforcement bars all was tied and placed in position exactly in a position where they

are intended to be situated. On the sub-structure work hauling was performed by
labour. But on the super structure it is through the help of the mobile crane, that the
required amount and type of reinforcement bar will be conveyed. After placing in
position of the reinforcement bar and before the concrete pouring any dust particle
was removed or cleaned. On horizontal structures like the reinforced concrete in order
to maintain the allowable concrete cover depth or thickness concrete spacers was
produced and cured and placed in position.
Figure 3.8: Storage of Bars at Sai Radha Nest Project site
3.7.1 Splicing of Bar
Reinforced concrete can function as a structural material only if there is a perfect
bond (adhesion) between the concrete and the reinforcing bars. This bond allows two
lengths of reinforcing bars to function as one continuous bar through lap splices.
Sometimes it becomes impossible to get required length of bar or it is required to
make use surplus small length of bar and may be the drawing recommend to splice
bar at that position. Then it is necessary to give a suitable lap of bar as shown in the
figure 3.9 over each other to develop full strength.
Figure 3.9: Bar Over Lapping (Splicing).
Splicing length=4×Ø
Where Ø is the diameter of the larger bar.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
When splicing or overlapping was provided in reinforcing steel they must be away
from the section which have maximum stress. I.e. bar was spliced in the site for
bottom reinforcement at the support and for top reinforcement at the center in a l
of four times the larger diameter of bar for every structure.

3.7.5 Cover
Cover is minimum spacing that should be maintained between each length of bar as
well as the spacing between the bar and shuttering. Providing cover ensures flow of
concrete through all portions and spaces between the rebar mesh and cage. If the
correct cover has been provided the rebar will be evenly distributed throughout the
RCC structure after concrete has been placed. Figure 3.13 shows Cover blocks for
reinforcement used in site Sai Radha Pride J-Wing.

It protects the steel reinforcement from getting corroded and helps in fire fighting
being a bad conductor of heat. Cover for the structural members are as shown in table
3.10 and shows Cover blocks for reinforcement used in site Sai Radha Pride J-Wing.

3.8 CONCRETING
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 cement paste. This is a Portland cement concrete with the four constituents
of Portland cement, water, stone and sand. Concrete used in site are both site mix and
RMC. Figure 3.14 shows slab concreting work at Sai Radha Nest Project site.
These basic components remain in current concrete but other constituents are now
often added to modify its fresh and hardened properties. This has broadened the scope
in the design and construction of concrete structures. It has also introduced factors
that designers should recognize in order to realize the desired performance in terms of

structural adequacy, constructability, and required service life. These are translated
into strength, workability and durability in relation to properties of concrete.
In addition, there is the need to satisfy these provisions at the most cost effective price
in practice. Since our building is a reinforced concrete structure the concrete work
was commenced every day for constructing/development of every part of the building.
Figure 3.15 shows concreting work at Sai Radha Nest Project site. 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 applications for their technical and at times economic benefits in
either or both fresh and hardened properties of concrete. Table 3.11 shows mix design
details.
Figure 3.14: Concreting work at Sai Radha Nest Project site
Different concrete mixes are used in different works. Details are given below
 M15 is used for PCC.
 M25 is used for footings, slabs, beams and columns.
 M30 and M40 are used for slab.
 The cement used is Ultratech 53 grade, OPC.
 Admixture used is HWRA.

3.8.1 Cement
Cement may be described as a material with adhesive and cohesive properties that
make it capable of bonding mineral fragments (aggregates) into a compact whole. In
this process, it imparts strength and durability to the hardened mass called concrete.
The cements used in the making of concrete are called hydraulic cements so named,
because they have the property of reacting chemically with water in an exothermic
(heat generating) process called hydration that results in water resistant products. The
products of hydration form a viscous cement paste, which coats the aggregate surfaces
and fills some of the void spaces between the aggregate pieces. The cement paste
loses consistency (stiffens) on account of gradual loss of free water, adsorption and
evaporation and subsequently sets, transforming the mixture into a solid mass. If the
consistency of the cement paste is either excessively harsh or excessively wet, there is
a danger of segregation, i.e., the aggregate tends to separate out of the mix; this will
adversely affect the quality of the hardened concrete and result in a honeycomb
appearance. The freshly set cement paste gains strength with time (hardens), on
account of progressive filling of the void spaces in the paste with the reaction
products, also resulting in a decrease in porosity and permeability.
3.8.2 Aggregate
Since aggregate occupies about three-quarters of the volume of concrete, it
contributes significantly to the structural performance of concrete, especially strength,
durability and volume stability. In general, aggregates in concrete have been grouped
according to their sizes into fine and coarse aggregates. The separation is based on
materials passing or retained on the nominally 5 mm (ASTMNo. 4) sieve. It is
common to refer to fine aggregate as sand and coarse aggregate as stone.
Traditionally, aggregates are derived from natural sources in the form of river gravel
or crushed rocks and river sand. Fine aggregate produced by crushing rocks to sand
sizes is referred as manufactured sand.
 Aggregate property and tests
A number of tests have been described to assess the quality of the aggregate, in terms
of the following physical and mechanical properties:

 Particle size, shape and surface texture: ‘size’ and ‘shape’ influence
strength; ‘shape’ and ‘texture’ influence bond (between the aggregate and the
cement paste)
 Specific gravity and bulk density: of aggregate particle and aggregate whole
respectively;
 Moisture content, water absorption and bulking of sand: the moisture
present in aggregate or the moisture that may be absorbed by the aggregate, as
the case may be, must be accounted for in the water content of the concrete
mix; moreover, the presence of water films in between sand particles results in
an increase in volume (bulking of sand) that must be accounted for in case
volume batching is employed in mix preparation;
 Strength: resistance to compression, measured in terms of the aggregate
crushing value;
 Toughness: resistance to impact, measured in terms of the aggregate impact
value;
 Hardness: resistance to wear measured in terms of the aggregate abrasion
value;
 Soundness: which indicates whether or not the aggregate undergoes
appreciable volume changes due to alternate thermal changes, wetting and
drying, freezing and thawing; and
 Deleterious constituents: such as iron pyrites, coal, mica, clay, silt, salt and
organic impurities, which can adversely affect the hydration of cement, the
bond with cement paste, the strength and the durability of hardened concrete.
3.8.3 Admixtures
Admixtures are additives that are introduced in a concrete mix to modify the
properties of concrete in its fresh and hardened states. Fast curing admixtures allow
curing the concrete within 3 to 5 days after the date of pouring the concrete. Such
application will only be made after the conduct of the test and the satisfaction of the
Resident Engineer. The amount of the admixture to be added varies in accordance to

the manufacturer‘s specification. All relevant documents and specifications will be
available before conducting the mix design and test for approval. After the
satisfaction of the Supervisor the Contractor will execute the successive duties. If the
use of admixtures ensures the early curing of the concrete structure, the date of
removal of the formwork will be dictated accordingly. In our site type of admixture
has been used is HWRA.
3.8.4 Water
Water has a significant role to play in the making of concrete in mixing of fresh
concrete and in curing of hardened concrete. Table 3.13 shows material rates.
Table 3.13: Material Rates.
Steel Rate Rs 41/kg
Cement Rs 400/Bag
CA Rs 31/cft
FA Rs 25/cft
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. Water that is fit for human
consumption (i.e., potable water) is generally considered to be suitable for concreting.
However, when the portability of the water is suspect, it is advisable to perform a
chemical analysis of the water.
3.8.5 RMC Placement Method
Concrete that has been used in the site is Ready Mix Concrete from RMC Ready Mix
India, Manipal. The road distance between RMC plant to the site is about 6 km’s and
the duration is about 15 mins. Truck used to transfer concrete from plant to the site is
of 7m3
capacity. Table 3.14 shows RMC Details. Figure 3.15 shows transit truck at
Sai Radha Pride Project site. Table 3.15 shows RMC rates.
Table 3.14: RMC details
Cement OPC (43 & 53 Grade)
Aggregate 20mm
Admixture HWRA
Slump 120 +/- 25mm

Ready Mix Concrete placement method is as follows.
 When transit truck arrived to the site, the concrete transport certificate was
checked for desired properties of concrete and time duration of transport.
Figure 3.15: Transit Truck
 Concrete was delivered to the site and discharged from the truck completely in
the form ready for vibration within 1-1/2 hours after batching.
 Concrete was placed in maximum 15 minutes after its arrival to the site, and
the finishing of placement would takes place before the cement starts setting.
 Concrete was stored/ deposited as near as possible to its final position using
crane hoisted buckets, concrete pumps, chutes etc.,
 If the concrete, due to transport, was segregated. It would be mixed again and
clean platforms, without adding water; if not the batch would be refused.
 Concrete shall be placed to prevent segregation. The free fall of concrete
should in no case exceed 1.5m.
Table 3.15: RMC Rates
RMC Rate
M10 Rs 3000/cum
M15 Rs 3700/cum
M20 Rs 4200/cum
M25 Rs 4200/cum
M30 Rs 4600/cum
M40 Rs 5000/cum
 The concrete should be spread and deposited in horizontal uniform thick
layers.
 Concrete was then compacted using needle vibrators.
 Concreting was continuously done to avoid planes of weakness.

3.9 DESHUTTERING
It is a process of removal of shuttering after concrete achieves required strength.
The sequence of orders and method of removal of form work are as follows
 Shuttering forming the vertical faces of walls beams and column sides should
be removed 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
Table 3.16 shows the period of removal of form work followed at site both Sai Radha
Pride and Nest.

3.10 CURING
The hydration reaction begins as soon as water and cement come into contact, but the
rate at which this reaction proceeds is extremely slow. It takes up to 6 months or
longer for concrete to gain its full strength. However, approximately 80% of concrete
strength develops in 28 days. Approximately two thirds of the 28-day strength is
obtained in the first 7 days and approximately half in the first 3 days. This is true only
if sufficient water and favourable temperature are available for the hydration reaction

to continue. Providing moisture to concrete continuously for hydration is called curing
of concrete.
Figure 3.16: Curing.
A well-cured concrete is denser and, hence, stronger and more durable. On
construction sites, curing is begun as soon as the concrete has fully set (solidified),
which is generally 12 to 24 h after placing the concrete. Curing in the initial stages of
hardening is extremely important and should continue as long as possible, not less
than 7 days. It is the process of preventing the loss of moisture from the concrete
while maintaining a satisfactory temperature regime. Curing is essential for producing
‘good’ concrete that has the desired strength, impermeability and durability, and is of
particular importance in situations where the water-cement ratio is low, or the cement
has a high rate of strength development. So, curing must be conducted using potable
water and covering of the structural element using covering material for at least 7
successive days to retain the moisture lost. In our site curing of concrete starts from
the finishing of the pouring and ends in a 7 days. Mostly they cure at morning and
night time. Curing for wall, slab and column are shown in Figure 3.16.
3.11 TILE WORK
Tiles come in variety of sizes, styles and colors. Keeping these points in mind the
company decides their tiles used for Project Sai Radha J Wing site. Details of floor
and wall tiles used in this project are shown in Table 3.17 and figure 3.17 and 3.18
shows skirting and Bath room tile fixing.

 Procedure for laying of tiles is as follows
Clean the surface of the floor or wall thoroughly
 Mix a thin set mortar in a bucket
 Make up only as much mortar mix as can be worked in 15-20 minutes.
Keep a bucket of clean water and a sponge handy to wipe off any excess
before it sets and to clean tools.
Figure 3.17: Skirting Work at Sai Radha Pride J Wing Project Site
Figure 3.18: Bathroom Tile Fixing at Sai Radha Pride J Wing Project Site
 Use a notched trowel to spread the mortar evenly on a small area where
laying of the tiles start.
 Position the tile in the mortar along the guidelines and press into place.

 Check the alignment of the tiles as go along to be sure they are both level
and straight.

SPECIFIC OUTCOMES FROM INTERNSHIP
4.1 PERFORMANCE DURING ACCOMPLISHING
WORK TASKS
Absolutely good the reason behind this performance was I integrate 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
section to get involved and pass through different peace of works. Especially the work
tasks I have been performing in the office work were very impressive because I didn‘t
have any knowledge about the quantity works, cost and report writing etc. In general
in the last four month I perform all my duties nicely and get knowledge of the
practical world and relate it with the theory I have learnt in the class in the last three
years. Also I transform myself to another level of skill, ethics, knowledge and
leadership using this internship class and I perform it well.
4.2 CHALLENGES 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 specialty 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 one person especially when
he/she is fresh or beginner. In fact some challenges may be solved by me but some are
above my limit and even the workers at the site also. In general I have faced the
following challenges in the internship period.
 Weather condition of the site.
 Shortage of knowledge in some portion of the work at the site.
 Underestimation by workers such as engineers, Forman.
 Unsatisfactory answers for questions from engineers.
 Safety facility

4.3 OVERALL BENEFITS OF THE INTERNSHIP
Internship is a class held at site to provide an enhanced understanding of the outside
working environment. The main aim of this internship is that to teach 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 and etc.
In my four month staying at the Sai Radha Developers Udupi I have acquire much
knowledge in different tasks as explained below in different section. Those different
knowledge gets me a good performance in the internship period and I gain an
experience that helps me in the future.
4.3.1 Improving Practical Skill
The aim of the internship is to address more practical knowledge for student. So, I
found a practical knowledge at the site as much possible within the four month. The
knowledge we have learn in the class is helpful to get those practical or real work in
the site and totally different from the actual knowledge gained from the class. Thus I
found some knowledge in the site which helps me to work with the site environment
or site peoples.
Some of the practical knowledge I gain from the internship class was:
 Construction of formwork and false work for some reinforced concrete
structure.
In any construction work the first stage before casting of concrete is designing and
constructing of form work. As I explained in the work procedure the formwork and
false work must be stiff and must resist the fresh concrete till the concrete gain its
strength. Thus the construction stage of form work was new to me since I‘m new for
the practical world now I gain practical knowledge about how it is worked and
erected.
 Bar bending, positioning, splicing and tying, according the specified
drawing.
After the formwork and false work is ready the bar bending, positioning and tying
work goes next. This work is done based on the working drawing provided in the

working drawings (structural drawing) by the design team of that specified structure.
In most case it was new for me to see such work since it is a practical work only
performed at the site.
 Casting and pouring of reinforced concrete structure and equipment used
for casting.
Concrete is a vital material in any construction of reinforced concrete and is the main
constituent or ingredient of any reinforced concrete structure. Thus it is mandatory to
know this material in practice including how it is treated, placed (poured), mixed and
the equipment used for those work. I got the practical knowledge in terms of those
listed aspects of concrete.
 Different construction equipment (machines) and their use in construction
site.
Many of great structures before are a product of numerous human power and
countless days inspired by great powers. Machines are capable of handling tough
work which may be beyond the scope of human labour to be performed. They can be
expected to work with fair degree of effectiveness even under adverse weather,
climate or topographical conditions. I generally know how equipment‘s are used in
the site including their specific purpose.
4.4 UPGRADING THE THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE
The internship class is not only depending on the practical aspect but it also help
students to upgrade or increase knowledge on already that they have. I try to integrate
the practical knowledge with that of the theory learned in the class in different place
in order to get more knowledge than the theory we learned on the class. I got the
internship class very interesting in terms of upgrading a theoretical knowledge and I
learned from the site some theories that we haven‘t learn in the class room by
searching different related literature. Some of this is:
 Labour billing
 Quantity measurement, etc.,
Learned those things in exclusive cause it is hard to read and understand everything
from books and asking some peoples at site to those things ashamed me. Generally I

change myself a little bit after the internship period in my knowledge than before I
took it.
4.5 UPGRADING INTERPERSONAL
COMMUNICATION SKILL
Communication is sharing or exchanging information or ideas with others in order to
get some messages and knowledge. The communications systems within the building
design and construction enterprise has taken on a large role in the achievement of
profitability and efficiency. A basic understanding of communication systems is
beneficial to all building professionals and trades, as they all play a part in the success
of the construction. Construction is one of the places that ask a good communication
skill either managing every trade of work or asking what is gowning on over there.
So, communication is an important way of learning, which can be defined formally as
the act, process, or experience of gaining knowledge or skills and sharing what we
know. Cool communication is important in the real constructions world and it can
appear in different forms as speaking, writing, and listening. In the site the most
things I gain is due to communication with other workers like engineers, skilled and
non-skilled workers, Forman etc. in some place/case it is very difficult to talk workers
and ask them what we want because of that they underestimate us and sometimes they
are not eager to tell. But I improve and know how to communicate with different
classes of workers in the site.
4.6 IMPROVING TEAM PLAYING SKILL
Team playing skill for construction work Team works, especially for engineers,
involve in every piece of task and achieving good team playing skill is essential for
Effective completion of tasks and Increasing productivity. This skill already exists in
my personality in the campus due to different assignment and project works that I
work together with student. But this skill is more than this in the construction site. In
the construction site the work is already a team work and it needs more closeness of
workers to solve problems arise in different aspects, misunderstanding in the drawing
or working methodology and consult every work. We the student at the site also
works together as a team to get more understanding and share ideas. More or less I

improve my team work status by working together with different professionals,
student and workers as a whole in the civil engineering works and consulting.
4.7 IMPROVING LEADERSHIP SKILL
Leadership is the process of influencing individuals or groups to accomplish an
organizational goal or mission. I have seen how each worker is controlled and
organized to perform its day to day activities. Among all other managements i have
seen that human resource management is the most important one. I have actually
observed the method of controlling the working time and amount of work done by
each worker so that the work proceeds according to the work plan or schedule.
Leadership is a skill to guide, control and monitor peoples. For effective leadership i
understood that personal values like confidence, effective communication and
devotion are very important.
In order to be good Leadership the following criteria should be fulfilled.
 Be technically proficient (skilled with different knowledge‘s).
 Seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions.
 Make sound and timely decisions.
 Know your people and look out for their well-being.
 Keep your workers informed.
 Develop a sense of responsibility in your workers.
 Ensure that tasks are understood, supervised, and accomplished.
 Use the full capabilities of your organization.
 Listening to others.
 Being organized.
 Able to communicate clearly and efficiently.
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 ability to handle such works in such
short time but we have learned how to become a good leader and the main signal of a
good leader.
Finally what I take hold of is Becoming a leader isn‘t easy because it takes a
conscious commitment and consistent effort to develop one‘s leadership skills. But on
the positive side, anyone who is willing to make the effort can become a good leader.
