WORK PROGRESS
3.0 GENERAL:
Generally, “Internship is any official or formal program to provide practical
experience for beginners in an occupation or profession”.
An internship is a short-term professional experience related to a student‟s major
or career goals. Students generally work a minimum of eight hours per week or a
maximum of 40 hours per week (full time), usually for one academic term. The work is
performed in a professional environment under the guidance and supervision of a staff
member with expertise in the student‟s field of interest.
Although the work may be similar to some part-time jobs or volunteer

experiences, an internship is identified by the intentional, self-directed learning and
student reflection about the work experience.
Through internships, students explore career options, test their choice of academic
major and develop professional skills and experience. Students may participate in
internships for academic credit or for experience only.

3.2 WORKS CARRIED OUT DURING INTERNSHIP TRAINING:

In the four Weeks of Internship period. I worked in the following sections.
 Surveying and leveling
 Excavation
 Treating with ATT
 Compaction
 Laying of PCC
 Shuttering works
 Bar bending works
 Laying of Footing concrete
 Plinth beam
 Rising of columns
 Slab Shuttering
Tasks performed at site are discussed in detail below:
3.2.1 SURVEYING AND LEVELING:

Levelling is a process of determining the height of one level relative to another. It
is used in surveying to establish the elevation of a point relative to a datum, or to establish
a point at a given elevation relative to a datum and Surveying is the art of determination
of relative position of points on the surface, below the surface or even above the surface.
In our site dumpy level and total stations are used for levelling and surveying.
Fig - 3.1: Total Station

Fig - 3.2: Total Station
3.2.2 EXCAVATION:
Excavation at the site is done by using the heavy excavating equipment like
Hitachi, JCB. As the excavation depth is more hence there, we will get the different kinds
of soils and rocks at different depth levels like normal soil, soft rock and hard rock etc.
The earth is excavated and the excavated material is putted into the hauling equipment‟s
which will takes the earth material and goes to the dumping site and dumps there. The
various hauling equipment‟s used were dumpers and Volvo dump trucks. Volvo man
dump truck is a very strong hauling equipment which costs around 1.5crores. Excavation
of hard rock at the site is done by Blasting and very hard rock by the use of breakers.
Fig - 3.3: JCB

Fig - 3.4: Surplus earth Transportation
3.2.3 TREATING WITH ATT:

For many years, the traditional method of controlling sub-terranean termites was
to apply a liquid pesticide, known as a termiticide, to the soil. This chemical treatment
relied on the application of a chemical barrier around and beneath the structure designed
to block all possible route of termite entry. Usually 1litres of ATT with 20litres of water
mixture is used for the purification of soil.
Fig - 3.5: Termiticide

3.2.4 COMPACTION:
Compaction is a process of increasin soil desity and removing air, usally by
mechanicalmeans. The following machines are used in our site:
Smooth Wheeled Rollers: It is important euipment for compaction. It consist large steel
drum in front and one or two wheel on rear end. The roller weighing around 10tonns.
Vibratory Plate Compactor: Vibratory plate compactor is used for compacting different
types of soils in narrow and conjusted area where it is not possible to use large
equipment. The compactor of weighing 7tonns and 0.5tonns. The rollers are passed over
the area having less density and less bearing capacity. To increase its density and decrease
the settlement of the structure constructed. After compacting the earth the density and
moisture content in soil is checked by Rapid moisture meter instrument by taking the core
in the different places and then determined. If the reguired density is not achieved then
the number of passings are increased before further works.

3.2.5 LAYING OF PCC:

Plain cement concrete is laid over the excavated ground from the RL of 105.1m
for the thickness of 150mm after which it comes to the RL of 105.25m.The PCC is laid
over the entire area. The concrete used for the PCC is of grade M7.5. PCC is a
construction material generally used as a binding material and is composed of cement and
other cementatious material such as fly ash and slag cement, aggregate. Plain cement
concrete is used provide rigid impervious bed to RCC in foundation where the earth is
soft and yielding.
PCC can be used over brick flat soling or without brick flat soling. PCC in the
foundations used to provide a plain surface beneath the footing and also to improve
bearing capacity of underlying surface of footing or foundation. Plain cement concrete of
grade M15 is used for the floor. Generally the mix of concrete used for flooring
specification is 1:1.5:3(cement, sand, and stone aggregates) and it laid over the concrete
base (1:4:8), which is almost 3 to 4 inches thick plain cement concrete (pcc) base.

Fig - 3.9: PCC Placing
3.2.6 SHUTTERING WORK:

Shuttering is the term given to either temporary or permanent molds into which
conrete or similar materials are poured. The construction of formwork takes time and
involves expenditure upto 20 to 25% of the cost of the structure or even more.Timber and
steel are used as shuttering materials.
The shuttering materials are used in the site are bracers of 1.2m or 0.9m as a
vertical supports, they are connected bt cup and saws. Plywood of size
2.44m×1.22m×0.012m, U-jack used for holding the horizontal member placed over the
vertical members of depth 70mm. I, C sections are used as horizontal supports of
100mm×60mm. Square tubes of dimention 40mm×40mm. 4/3 runners of length of 2.44m
and 2/3 runner of length 2.8m, 2.4m are used. The column and beams shuttering is
removed after 16hrs after pouring concrete.

3.2.8 LAYING OF FOOTING CONCRETE:

Footing is a reinforced concrete block, setting up under the earth with a
calculated depth based on the loads affecting the buliding ,the column is fixed at the
footing.
There are two types of footings i.e, isolated footing and combined footing. Here
142 number of footings are layed for columns. Here M25 graded of concrete is used and
Fe500 grade of reinforcement steel is used . Here both isolated footings are layed. The
reinforcement given in the detailed plan.
Fig - 3.15: Footing

3.2.9 PLINTH BEAM:

Plinth beam is a reinforced concrete beam constructed between the wall and its
foundation. Plinth beam is provided to prevent the extension or propagation of cracks
from the foundation into the wall above when the foundation suffers from settlement.
Plinth beam distibutes load of the wall over the foundation evenly.
It is mandatory to provide plinth beam in area that prone to earthquake.

Construction of plinth beam above the natural ground is another application of this type
of beam.
Strength of plinth beam concrete shall not be smaller then 20MPa. If concrete is
mixed manually the an extra of 20% cement need to be added to the mixture a minimum
depth ofplinth beamis 200mm whereas its width should match the width of final course of
the foundation. Here M30 grade of concrete is used as per declaration in the plan.
Formwork used for plinth beam construction should be properly installed and
adequately secured prior to concrete placement. The concrete needs to be completed
suffiviently to prevent steel bars from aggressive elements. Steel bars are recommended
to provide two bars will minimum diameter of 12mm at the bottom Of the beam.
Similarly, two bars with minimum diameter of 10mm shall be provided at the top of the
plint beam.
Reinforcement bars should be protected by 25mm concrete cover. As far as
stirrups are concerned, stirrup diameter should be at least 6mm and a spacing of 1cm
should be sufficient. Here in the ongoing project, 20 and 25 diameter bars are provided at
the top and bottom of the beam two 4,8,10 numbers are provided and bottom and top and
8 and 10 diameter bars as stirrups.

3.2.10 RISING OF COLUMNS:

Columns or pillar in architeture and structural engineering is a structural element
that transmits, through comprssion, the weight of the structure above of other structral
element below. Here 233 columns are rised in the site i.e, rectangular columns. The
schedule of columns are as in table below. Here 40mmcover is provided and 32mm,
25mm, 20 and 16mm dia barsare provided. Main reinforcement are of 10mm and 8mm
dia bars. Vertical ties are provided at spacing 200mm c/c. M35 grade concrete is used and
Fe500 grade reinforcement steel is used as per the plan.

3.2.11 SLAB SHUTTERING:
Slab formwork essentially consists of a horizontal load-bearing structure which

supports the formliming and transfers the forces into the shoring.

3.3 DEPARTMENTS OF THE COMPANY:

The Construction Department is overseen by the Construction Manager, who is
responsible for ensuring that all the required work is completed to deadline, within
budget, and to the specifications set by the Production Designer.
Once appointed, Construction Managers are responsible for hiring in the required
number of Carpenters, Painters, Riggers and Plasterers, as well as for coordinating the
purchase of all the necessary materials and tools.
In addition to excellent craft skills in their chosen field, members of the

Construction Department must also have strong creative abilities. They are often required
to create structures in a specific period or historical style, or they may be required to
'distress' their work, so that it looks worn and lived in rather than brand new.
