3.1 INTRODUCTION
A cement is a binder, a substance used in construction that sets, hardens and adheres to other
materials, binding them together. Cement is used with fine aggregate to produce mortar for
masonry, or with sand and gravel aggregates to produce concrete. The volume of 1 bag of
cement was 0.0347 m3.
PPC (Portland Pozzolana Cement). The brand which was used on our site was MP BIRLA
CEMENT & BIRLA CHETAK CEMENT. The percentage of fly ash in PPC permitted by
IS:1489 varies from 15% (in minimum) to 35% maximum
Reasons for use
• More Fineness:- Birla Cement is finer than 53 Grade OPC. It has super
strength, great adhesive qualities and creates a more flexible and resilient
cement mix for constructions.
• Setting Time:- Like Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), the shuttering of
columns, beams, slabs etc. can be opened within the specified
3.2.2 AGGREGATE
Aggregate occupies most of the volume of the concrete. It is the stuff that the cement paste coats
and binds together. The composition, shape, and size of the aggregate all have a significant
impact on the workability, durability, strength, weight, and shrinkage of the concrete. IS: 383-
1970 is preferred for aggregate testing. Aggregates, which account for 60 to 75 percent of the
total volume of concrete, are divided into two distinct categories are as follows:
➢ COARSE AGGREGATE Coarse aggregate provides strength to concrete, improves
water resistance, and maintains dimensional stability. It's important to wash coarse
aggregate before using it in concrete. Aggregates that absorb more than 2% of water
after soaking in water for 24 hours are not suitable for concrete Size of Coarse
Aggregate Materials that are large enough to be retained on the 4.7mm sieve size
usually constitute coarse aggregates and can reach a maximum size of 63mm.

3.2.5 BONDING AGENTS
➢ FAIRCRETE
The bonding agent is a high solid, water-based emulsion admixture suitable for
modifying Portland cement compositions. It is also designed for use as a bonding
agent between new and hardened concrete. It is a milky white, non-yellowing liquid
ready for use and requires no on-site dilution. The Bonding Agent used at our site was
a product of Fairmate Pvt. Ltd. And Bonding Agent were Faircrete whose main
work was to prepare a bond between new and hardened concrete.

Features
Applications
o Engineering Bricks
o Concrete Bricks
The brick which was used at our site was Common Burnt Clay Bricks.
Water is one of the most important elements in construction, but people still ignore the quality
aspect of this element. The water is required for preparation of mortar, mixing of cement
concrete and for curing work etc. during construction work. The quality and quantity of water
have much effect on the strength of mortar and cement concrete in construction work.
Quality of Water
satisfactory for mixing. The pH value of water should be not less than 6.
Cover Blocks
b) Nails:- Nails are used to making unit assembly of shuttering panels.These are
made up of Iron, these are pointed at one end and flat headed from another.
Nails
c) Binding Wire:- Binding wire is used for binding reinforcement construction. It is
made of mild steel inker, which takes place in the form of thermal processing
annealing. Binding wire is also called annealed wire. Binding wires play a
significant role in holding the rebars during construction. Binding wires are used
for tying rebars to hold the structure intact. The main and distributional
reinforcement rebars are held together using annealed wire made of mild steel.
Binding wires are prepared by the process of annealing which provides them
flexibility, softness and required strength. The diameters range from 0.61 mm to
1.22m.At our site, 0.8mm diameter wire was used.
Binding Wire
3.3 EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS USED AT SITE
BBM {Bar Bending Machine}:-Apparatus used to bend and shape steel rod, especially used in
the preparation of steel reinforced concrete structures.
BCM {Bar Cutting Machine}:-Highly sophisticated bar cutting machines work with
hydraulics, which makes them very accurate in their cutting. With fast and efficient bar cutting
machines are capable of cutting multiple rods at the same time.
Tower Crane:-A rotatable cantilever jib on top of a steelwork tower used on building sites
where the operator needs to command a good view of the site. Fixed to the ground on a concrete
slab, tower cranes often give the best combination of height and lifting capacity and are used in the
construction of tall buildings. The base is then attached to the mast which gives the crane its height.
Excavator: -an excavator, also called a rear actor or back actor, is a piece of excavating
equipment or digger consisting of a digging bucket on the end of a two-part articulated arm.
Welding Machine:-Welding is a fabrication or sculptural process that joins metals by causing
fusion, which is distinct from lower temperature metal-joining techniques such as soldering,
which does not melt the base metal. In addition to melting the base metal, a filler material is
typically added to the joint to form a pool of molten material that cools to form a joint that is
usually stronger than the base material. Welding electrode is coated with Cellulose Potassium
Titania sodium, Titania potassium, Iron Powder Titania, Low hydrogen sodium, Low
hydrogen potassium, Iron powder iron oxide, Iron powder low hydrogen.
Fig-20:-Welding Machine
Grinder: - Grinding is used for finishing of workpieces that must show high surface quality
and high accuracy of shape and dimension. It Rotates at the speed of 6600-7700 RPM.
Measuring tape (Steel): -A measuring tape is a flexible ruler. It consists of a metal strip with
linear-measurement markings. It is a common measuring tool. The measuring tape was of
different-different sizes like- 30m, 5m.
Try Square: - The engineers try-square is composed of two parts, the stock, and the blade. The
try-square is used to test that a 90-degree angle exists across the edge of the steel. Although a
burr exists on the edge of the steel it fits into the slot and does not affect the way the try-square
is used.
Plumb Bob: -A plumb bob is a weight, usually with a pointed tip on the bottom, suspended
from a string and used as a vertical reference line, or plumb-line. It is used on site to transfer
point exactly vertically upward or downward for marking points.
Hammer: -A hammer is a tool that delivers a blow to an object. Hammers are hand tools used
to drive nails and break apart objects. Hammers which was used on our site was a claw hammer.
Trowels:-Trowels also help smooth concrete surfaces for their finish coats before being left to
dry. Hand-troweling is common for smaller tasks on the site.
Hammer Machine: -A drilling machine is used to cut holes into or through metal or any other
materials. Drilling machines use a drilling tool that has cutting edges at its point.
Hoe:-This tool is used to digging and to place concrete, cement mortar in the head pan.
Wooden Rendering Float:-This tool is used to give a smooth finish to the plastered a
rea.
Vacuum Blower:-These tools are used to clean the surface area from impurities Slab concrete.
And also used during rebaring work. Blower used at our site was having the speed of 620 to
750 RPM.
Walkie Talkie:- It was used to communicate with site staff on the site without going to them
and wasting time. Its range was nearly 2.99 Miles.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT USED AT SITE
Safety helmets: -Safety helmets are one of the most frequently used forms of PPE. Safety
Helmets will protect the user’s head against:
• The impact of objects falling from above, by resisting and deflecting blows to the head.
• Hitting fixed dangerous objects at the workplace,
Body Harness: -Body harnesses are designed to minimize stress forces on labor’s body in the
event of a fall while providing sufficient freedom of movement to allow work to be performed.
Labor Safety Shoes: -Wellington boots are waterproof and are most often made from rubber or
polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a halogenated polymer. They are usually worn when walking on the
concrete or muddy ground, or to protect the wearer from heavy showers and puddles.
Safety Net:-Safety Net Systems consist of nets installed as close as possible under the work
area. Perimeter nets are personal or debris nets that are erected around the perimeter of a
building to protect workers from overboard falls or to catch construction debris.
Welding goggles: - Welding goggles provide a degree of eye protection while some forms of
welding and cutting are being done. They are intended to protect the eyes not only from the heat
and optical radiation produced by the welding, such as the intense ultraviolet light produced by
an electric arc but also from sparks or debris.
HVSA: - High-visibility safety apparel (HVSA) is clothing that workers can wear to improve
how well other people see them (their visibility). Most often, high- visibility clothing is worn
to alert drivers and other vehicle operators of a worker's presence, especially in low light and
dark conditions.
Piling:- Piling forms the very basis of construction; the essential support needed for any kind
of structure. It is a technique that sets deep foundations for any form of construction work, such
as buildings. On our site piling was done as the depth of excavation was 40ft from the ground
so to resist soil from failure. And piling consists of following specifications at our site:-
Table8:-PILING SPECIFICATIONS
e) Diameter of helical 8 mm
f) Clear Cover 50 mm
Dressing: - Spread the soil using something flat, like the back side of a heavy garden rake,
working it into aeration holes and covering low spots. After Completion Of excavation proper
soil dressing was made and the unwanted soil was removed.
Leveling: -A level surface is defined as a curved surface which at each point is perpendicular
to the direction of gravity at the point. The surface of a still water is a truly level surface. Any
surface parallel to the mean spheroidal surface of the earth is, therefore, a level surface. At Our,
Site Levelling Was done using a surveying instrument called Auto Level.
Site Marking: -
• Site marking is one of the starting point of your construction.
• In this activity, your Engineer and Maestri will identify pillar placements.
• Once pillars placement is identified based on soil condition earthwork will start.
• The engineer will mark the area around the pillar. Earth workers will dig marked
area.
• Depending on soil condition pillar depth will vary.
• Some people perform puja before starting this marking.
Laying of PCC: -To level the unevenness of ground surface for laying of reinforcement and
protecting it from contact with the ground, it also improves firm base to foundation increase
bearing capacity of the soil. After leveling PCC was laid out With M-10 Grade of Concrete to
a Thickness of 4 inches.
Column Layout:- At our Site Column Marking was done using TOTAL STATION to Plot
While Casting Footing we have checked the proper spacing between all main bars, extra
reinforcement, Bars of extra/ main reinforcement, lap length, clear cover.
Column binding, shuttering& Casting: -At our site Rectangular/Square Column was used,
Columns were a short column in nature. In the case of long Column pedestal was used, hence
eff. length of Column gets reduced and column turns short.

Column Shuttering
While Casting Column we have checked the proper spacing between all tie bars, check for
reinforcement, Number of the bar, checked alternate laps are provided, lap length, clear cover.
Slab & Beam Casting
De-shuttering: - It is the process of removing formwork after the concrete gains its proper
strength, after this process of curing starts which is discussed below.
Curing: -Curing was done for reducing crack due to evolving of thermal heat and to do so at
our site Gunny bag & Ponding method of curing was used.

Project Development
4.1 INTRODUCTION
Golden Sands is a residential and commercial complex in which ground floor of tower
3 is meant for commercial purpose and all above floors are meant for residential
purpose and all two basements are provided for parking facility and in this project
service floor is also provided to provide one stop facility for all maintenance work of
Sanitary, water fitting and electricity connections.
Here during my training period I have been made responsible for executing several
tasks at site as per guidance of engineers and Project Manager like- Checking
Reinforcement of different members, Casting work of different members, To check
Testing done on site, To Check Quality of material coming on site (like:- RMC), Etc.
While performing Several tests like- Slump Test, Compression value test I was held
responsible to check proper method to perform testing as per IS code and to evaluate
test results and to comment on them weather the material can be used or not.
CHAPTER-5
5.1 OVERVIEW OF TRAINING
At Last, I want to say that it was a very knowledgeable site here I have learned several
things for 60 days period of my internship. When I’ve joined a site, I was completely raw
and don’t know anything about how to work to be executed on site and when after 60days
I left the site I was able to do lots of work and also learned how to execute work on site.
➢ I’ve observed the difference between studying any concept in the book and
applying it to the field there was lots of difference as we can say that theoretical
concept is mutually perpendicular to practical concepts.
➢ I’ve also learned how to make labour understand our point of view and
communicate with them.
2. I’ve also learned how tests are performed on site to test properties of concrete.
CHAPTER-6
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIO TO THE COMPANY
6.1 CONCLUSIONS
The internship is a connection between the theoretical knowledge and the practical
or the field work during construction or civil engineering work. We all who attended the
internship class by going to companies that already working either as a consultant or a
contractor. The responsibilities of the hosting company are to teach trainees and shape them in
the two months as a real site workers. My hosting company is a contracting company and they
help me in acquiring different knowledge in different positions.
This program played an important role in learning field works that can be implemented by the
person 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 Pankhudi construction, I get an opportunity to work at
the different types of the construction work which helps me to gain more knowledge by seeing
what they work on site and what are their main responsibilities to the client and each other.
Working with team made me acquire more knowledge work includes the duty of the site
engineers.
From the design team especially from the structural designers I got some clues about how to
design and the phases and different procedure in the designing of any structure starting from the
roof to the footing. The architects also help me to know every symbol used in any drawing and
room orientations, how each room of the specified space can be together without being disturbed
by one another. In the sanitary and electrical engineers also help us by teaching us about the
riser diagram and installation of each junction in place for a building.
However, this internship program was not free from challenges. But they come up with the
challenges and teach us how we must gown to be in the field after the graduation.
Over-all 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 sensible to scale this practice up and to replicate in other disciplines as
well.
6.2 RECOMMENDATIONS
Most works in the site needs careful attention and successive supervision of works but the in
some case the site works goes improperly due to different causes. This kind of carelessness is
not good for ether the consultant or the contractor. Therefore, I suggest supervisors and site
engineers to take a care full look after the work executed on the site and the work that will be
executed.
At the site there are works which are performed in the way that not to be performed. Such
works lids to safety problem, loose of human power if its degree is high and economy if it is
ordered to demolish it.
Thus, I recommend for the company the following:
It is better to use steel form work than wood (plywood) formwork as it is very repetitively
used, stiff, not flammable easily and removed easily without damaging the concrete structure.
Use thicker eucalyptus false work in order to avoid the bulging of concrete
Bar staggering around support also need a special attention or re designing because of that it
hard to compact using vibrator through it.
The soil blended at the site must be as it is specified in the laboratory result and the equipment
used for blinding must be effective in the mixing process.
Compacting of the soil more than 20cm in pit and other excavation is improper and it doesn't
full fill the needed density. So, compaction must be in each20cm layer as specified.
Formwork should remove easily without damaging the concrete surface.
Addition of water for concrete casting should be known and shouldn’t a guessing work.
Use modern machinery or equipment for high productivity and to finish works on time.
Ignoring the student suggestion also the problem in the site which is Unreasonable and
illogical. The sources of this kind of ignorance mainly arise from under estimating of the
student it must also avoid unless and otherwise it has a reason.
6.3 PROBLEMS FACED AT SITE
❖ Communication with Labour: - Later with help of a foreman working there, they told
me about general terms used by Labour at the site and also helped in communicating
with them. Like- Water- Level is called Pansaal which is a roman word meaning
plummet in English.
❖ Exposure of reinforcement: - In rare cases, it happened that columns were not getting
proper cover & get exposed to atmosphere than at that place jackal was provided.
❖ While Casting of the slab in several days: - Due to long span, it was not possible to
cast complete slab or foundation in one batch so to make proper bonding between old
and new concrete Faircrete SB(L) was used.
❖ Rebaring Problem after casting: - It happened that after casting structural engineer
changed the reinforcement detail of lift, but it is not possible to demolish concrete and
again bind bar as per new drawing so to satisfy this problem without demolishing
concrete a rebaring agent called Hilti RE 500 was used which increase strength 30 %
more and good bonding also in two reinforcement bars.
❖ Weather condition of the site: - In between several times rain occurred due to which
problem in working and casting work was there.
