INTRODUCTION

1.1. Background

An internship is on-the-job training for many professional jobs, similar to an apprenticeship,


more often taken up by college and university students during his undergraduate or master
degree in their free time to supplement their formal education and expose them to the world of
work. Internships offer various occasion to interns during internship programs to expand
familiarity in them choose area of work, to find out what they have an importance in developing
professional network links & build skill.

Employers too benefit from an internship arrangement as it gives access to interns with
some skills to execute relevant tasks for the employer. Many interns end up with permanent
service with the same organization in which they are interned. Their worth to the organization
may be greater than before by the fact that they require modest or less training.

An internship may be compensated, non-compensated or some time to some extent paid.


Paid internships is usually the norm in fields like medical and health science, engineering, laws
and politics, business, graphic design accounting, banking and finance, information
technology, media, journalisms, hospitality and tourisms whereas unpaid Internships are
common. At NGO/ Not for-profit organizations and think tanks and are deemed voluntary.
Internships may be part-time or full-time; in general, they are part-time during the academy
year and full-time in the summer vacations. They usually last for one month, its tenure varies
from organization to organization, it may be shortening or long based on the organization for
which they intern.

Since the 1990’s economic reforms in India, that’s bought a sea change in business and
academic culture, internships have found a prominent place in the life of a engineers. An
increasing presence of multinational companies, rapid economic growth, globalization,
individual’s aspirations, urbanization have all influenced the role and desirability of
internships.

1.2. Objective
1. Internship leads to the intern’s individual development through challenging
occupational coursework.
2. A typical and worthy extra-curricular activity that helps develops credentials for their
semester.
3. It is designed and planned through consultation with the college or university so as to
fit into the undergraduate practice.
4. Internship involves closed direction or mentoring by a specialized expert.
5. It includes work experiences that go together with classroom learning.
6. It too ends in an appraisal process at the wrapping up of the internship.
7. It builds upon the association of any academy institute or university with has employers.
8. It is mainly victorious when the intern, the college or university, and the employer all
share conscientiousness in making it a valuable practice.
9. Profession linked occurrence has a lot of names in the college or university. In addition
to “internship,” the other include as follows:
10. Cooperative education
11. Practicum
12. Externship
13. Apprenticeship
14. Article-ship
15. Across the university or college, these occasion to achieve career related practice can
differ in many means. They are as follows:
 Internship may be compensated or not compensated i.e. paid or unpaid.
 Internship may be requisite as part of the curriculum or discretionary.
 Get academic credit during semester or no credit associated with the practice.
 Internship can be from five hours to forty hours a week, fulltime in summer holiday or
part-time during academic year.
 It can take place throughout the summer holidays or during other breaks of the year.
 Internship can be opt during off campus or it can take place during on campus. These
experiences are win-win situations for all involved.

be read in conjunction with all other structural & relevant Architectural, Mechanical, Electrical,
Plumbing, other utility service.

1. Understanding the basic symbols in engineering drawings: As these drawings are


done on such a small scale, the use of symbols is often required. While many symbols
exist, understanding a few of the basics can be very helpful when reading engineering
drawings. Some of the most common symbols used in these drawings include
rectangles, circles, and triangles. As with determining the scale, consulting with the
engineer who created the drawing can provide great insight as to the symbols used.

4.4 Construction process


1. Earthwork excavation in foundation

Excavation work on the site was being done by the JCB Machines and excavated soil was
transferred using dumpers. A foundation trench was dug out to the exact width of the
foundation concrete and sides were made vertical. The bottom of the foundation trenches was
perfectly levelled both longitudinally and transversally and the sides of the trenches was
dressed perfectly vertical. The bed of the trench was tightly watered and well rammed.

1. Foundation

Footings are strips of concrete or filled concrete blocks placed under foundation wall.
The purpose of footing is to transfer the loads safely in the ground.

Two types of footings are used in site.


a) Isolated footing: An isolated footing is used to support the load on a single
column. It is usually either square or rectangular in plan. It represents the
simplest, most economical type and most widely used footing. Isolated footings
are used in case of light column loads, when columns are not closely spaced.

Fig: Isolated footing

b) Combined footing

Combined footings are used when two or more columns are closely spaced, heavily
loaded interior columns where individual footings, if they were provided, would be
either very close to each other or overlap each other. This footing is called "combined
footing".

2. Form work

It is the term given to either temporary or permanent moulds into which concrete or similar materials
are poured. In the context of concrete construction, the false work supports the shuttering moulds.

Formwork comes in several types:

a) Traditional timber formwork- The formwork is built on site out of timber and
plywood or moisture-resistant particleboard. It is easy to produce but time-consuming
for larger structures, and the plywood facing has a relatively short lifespan. It is still
used extensively where the labour costs are lower than the costs for procuring reusable
formwork. It is also the most flexible type of formwork, so even where other systems
are in use, complicated sections may use it.
b) Re-usable plastic formwork-These interlocking and modular systems are used to build
widely variable, but relatively simple, concrete structures. The panels are lightweight
and very robust. They are especially suited for low-cost, mass housing schemes.

c) Permanent Insulated Formwork`- This formwork is assembled on site,


usually out of insulating concrete forms (ICF). The formwork stays in place after
the concrete has cured, and may provide advantages in terms of speed, strength,
superior thermal and acoustic insulation, space to run utilities within the EPS
layer, and integrated furring strip for cladding finishes.

GINA ENGINEERING COMPANY
 Form work and centering is a temporary structure that is erected to support and
contain concrete to the required dimension and shape, till it attains strength to
become self-supporting. Form work is designed to safety support the dead and
live loads during concreting, without deflecting.
 It should be water tight to avoid the leakage of cement slurry.
 It should be easily removable without any damage and should be re-usable
2.1 Column shuttering

 Column starter are fixed to make sure that the columns are located at the right
place and are correctly aligned according to the drawing using “Total station
instrument”.

 The starters should be preferably done using steel channel sections and C-
clamps and usage of wooden runner moulds should be avoided as the error due
to warping is high.

 The area where starter is being placed is cleaned properly.

 The column is located and starter is marked with respect to the grid lines.

 The starter moulds is placed on top of marking and the bolts are fixed.

 The diagonals of the starter are checked to make sure that the corners are at the
right angle.

 Foam strip should be provided around the starter to prevent the loss of slurry
during concreting

 The verticality is checked using a plumb bob on it external faces and sides.

 The shuttering box is temporarily tied to the column reinforcement with the full
weight if the shuttering box.

 Then the sides corresponding to the shorter side is brought into place and plumb
is checked.

 The external tie rods which do not pass through the concrete, connecting two
longer side of column shuttering are fixed.

 Then the internal tie rod which passes through the concrete are fixed.

 The plumb of the column is checked once again for the longer and shorter side
using plumb bob.

 Plumb bob is tied from the top at a distance from the column box using a small

2.3 Slab shuttering

 The slab bottom level should be fixed first.

 First the MS props are raised along the direction of the shorter beam. These
props should be rest on hard and even surface so that no sinking occurs during
concreting due to vibration and concrete load.

 1’3”x 4” runners are placed along the direction of the beam on the props and
nailed on them where holes are provided.

 Both the ends of the span rest on the runners along the shorter span.

 The steel centering sheets are placed on these spans in such a way that half of
the width of the span top is occupied by the adjacent centering sheet.

 Hence the spacing between the spans should not exceed the length of centering
sheets.

 The slab shuttering is leveled using a spirit level.

 The horizontality of the slab should be checked using spirit level.

 Brown masking tape is fixed at all junctions of the centering sheets to prevent
slurry leakage.

 After the reinforcement for the peripheral beams are tied into the position their
outer beam sides are fixed.

 The props and the centering should be adequately braced to take care of any
horizontal movement due to concrete pumping.

 The formwork coating agent is applied on all shuttering surfaces that will come
in direct contact with concrete.

 The beam bottom and sides should be first coated, the beam reinforcement cage
is placed into position and the slab should be coated with a piece of sponge or
clean cloth, dipped in the form work coating agent.

 Before concreting, the weak areas of the form work should be visually identified
and extra supports should be provided which will rest on a hard surface

 The primary runners of suitable length are first placed on the u jacks of
the staging, at the area where the landing shall be cast.
 Secondary runners of equal length to width of landing are placed
perpendicular to the primary runners.
 Then the form work for landing and the stair case beam is provided above
the secondary runners.

 Waist slab
 Staging of the waist slab of the flight is erected and the primary runners are
placed on the u jacks along the length of the flight and secondary runners
are placed on top of them perpendicularly.
 The waist slab plywood shuttering is placed in such a way that one end of
it is at the bottom of the already casted landing slab and the other end is at
the bottom of the newly shuttered landing.
 The waist slab plywood shuttering is placed over its staging such that one
end is at bottom of the newly shuttered landing and the other end is
matching with the shuttering level of the next slab.
 Once the form work for the landing and the waist slab is fixed markings for
the risers and treads are done on the inner side of the waist slab formwork.
 The reinforcement for the waist slab landing and stair case beam is fixed.
 The longitudinal sides of the staircase form work are fixed to the waist
slab shuttering using nails.
 Riser planks are fixed perpendicular to the direction of the flight, in
between the two-staircase side shuttering using nails.
 Two long runners are fixed in such a way that it connects the top of all the risers.

4.5 Concreting and Finishing


Concrete production is the process of mixing together the various ingredients—water,
aggregate, cement, and any additives—to produce concrete. Concrete production is time-
sensitive. Once the ingredients are mixed, workers must put the concrete in place before it
hardens. In modern usage, most concrete production takes place in a large type of industrial
facility called a concrete plant, or often a batch plant.
In general usage, concrete plants come in two main types, ready mix plants and central mix
plants. A ready-mix plant mixes all the ingredients except water, while a central mix plant
mixes all the ingredients including water. A central mix plant offers more accurate control of
the concrete quality through better measurements of the amount of water added, but must be
placed closer to the work site where the concrete will be used, since hydration begins at the
plant.
A concrete plant consists of large storage hoppers for various reactive ingredients like cement,
storage for bulk ingredients like aggregate and water, mechanisms for the addition of various
additives and amendments, machinery to accurately weigh, move, and mix some or all of those
ingredients, and facilities to dispense the mixed concrete, often to a concrete mixer truck.
Modern concrete is usually prepared as a viscous fluid, so that it may be poured into forms,
which are containers erected in the field to give the concrete its desired shape. There are many
different ways in which concrete formwork can be prepared, such as Slip forming and Steel
plate construction. Alternatively, concrete can be mixed into dryer, non-fluid forms and used
in factory settings to manufacture precast concrete products. There is a wide variety of
equipment for processing concrete, from hand tools to heavy industrial machinery.

Concreting
The process of concreting involves the following steps:
1. Mixing.
2. Transporting.

3. Placing, compacting and finishing.

4. Curing.
1. Mixing
Thorough mixing of the different ingredients of concrete is very essential to
produce good quality concrete, which is homogenous in nature and uniform in
colour.

Dept. of Civil Engg. SEACET, B’lore 23


GINA ENGINEERING COMPANY
In site Ready mix concrete is purchased from external vendor.

 The logistics should be worked out with the vendor such that the concrete
supply and pumping should happen continuously.
 The concrete should be received with a delivery invoice with the plant
manager's signature on it and data cycle sheet showing the grade, quantity,
water cement ratio, slump, cement content, time of manufacturing, a dosage
of admixtures and weight of various ingredients.
 The above data in the data cycle sheet should be read before accepting the
concrete.
 Do not accept concrete after three hours of mixing, considering that suitable
retarders are added. Any concrete should be used up within half an hour to 45
minutes of preparation if retarders are not added.
 Slump cone tests have to be conducted for every batch of concrete before
placing.
 Depending on whether the concrete is going to be pumped or dumped at site,
the recommended slump is as follows:
 For pumping: 100 ± 20 mm for dumping: 90 ± 10mm.
 Concrete samples should be collected in cubes and tested as per required
frequency.
2. Transportation
The concrete once prepared can be shifted in the following ways:
 Chutes.
 Wheel barrows.
 Builder's Hoists.
 Concrete bucket and tower crane.
 Transit mixers.
 Concrete pump (horizontally and vertically).

 Transit mixers: Transit mixers are trucks with rotating concrete mixing
drums mounted on them. They are used to transport concrete along long
distances. The drum rotates during the transit. Preventing the concrete from
setting. Depending upon the distance between the batching plant and the
place of concreting. Suitable admixtures are added to the concrete. These
admixtures act as retarders of chemical action between cement and water.

Dept. of Civil Engg. SEACET, B’lore 24


GINA ENGINEERING COMPANY

Concrete pump:

These are heavy-duty pumps, used to pump concrete in horizontal and vertical
directions. The concrete to be pumped should be fluid, with a slump between 100 to
120mm. Pipes are fitted to the pump, which carry the concrete to the desired location.
The vertical and horizontal distance to the point of concreting and the bends in the pipe
will have a direct impact on the frictional losses and strain that the pump will be
subjected to. Hence, a pump of suitable capacity should be selected, depending upon
the pumping distance.
 The pipes should be supported at equal intervals and not left stray on
the shuttering. The movement due to the flow of concrete in the pipe
(under pressure) could cause damage to the shuttering and
reinforcement
 The shuttering should be capable of taking the vibrations of the pipe due
to pumping.
 The pipe should be wet and rich slurry should be pumped before
concreting to lubricate the inner surface of the pipe. The slurry should
be collected in another drum for reuse or pumped outside the shuttering
area.
 In case of delay in the concrete supply, the current transit mixer
unloading should slowly progress until the next load arrives. Non-
pumping of concrete for a long duration will lead to choking of the pipe.
 The flexible pipe at the discharge end of the concreting pipe
arrangement should not be bent more than 1350 while concreting.
 In constricted areas, direct pumping through the pipe should be avoided.
The concrete should be unloaded at a place nearby and transportation
should be done using mortar buckets or wheel barrows.
 After concreting, the ball has to be passed through the concrete carrying
pipes to clear it of any residual concrete at the end of the day's work.
Excessive care should be taken during this process to avoid accidents.

3. Placing, Compacting and Finishing:

 Compaction of concrete is the process of expelling enl1apped au from the


concrete. The entrapped air, if not removed reduces The Strength of
concrete considerably. Generally, 5% \voids can reduce the strength of
concrete by over 30% and 10% voids can reduce the strength by over 50%.
 Appropriate needles should be available for compaction vibration of
concrete depending upon the size of the aggregates, reinforcement
spacing and size of the concrete member. It should operate at a minimum
speed of 10,000 rpm.
 The spacing between the consecutive points of vibration should be equal
to 10 times the diameter of the vibrating needle.
 Over vibration results in segregation and lack of proper vibration results in
uncompacted concrete and honey combing.
 The vibrating needle should be removed slowly from the concrete.
Removing it in a jerk will cause gaps inside the concrete.
 Concrete is poured into the beams first and then into the slab.
 For slabs, the poured concrete is distributed using an aluminum pusher to
all the areas of the shuttering.
 Due to structural requirements, the columns are designed with higher
grade concrete mix than beam and slab. Care shall be taken to see if the
column beam slab junction has been concreted with higher grade of
concrete.
 It is then levelled and finished using a concrete distributor.
 The top level of the slab has to be checked intermittently during concreting.
 If the depth of concrete that is being placed is more than 500mm, then
the concreting should be done in layers, each layer not exceeding 500mm.
 After the initial setting time of the concrete, hessian cloth should be laid
on the concrete surface and water should be sprinkled to avoid shrinkage
cracks and to keep the heat of hydration under control.

Curing
Curing is one of the most important steps in concrete construction, because proper curing
greatly increases concrete strength and durability. Concrete hardened as a result of hydration:
the chemical reaction between cement and water.

 Continuous curing for a minimum period of 7 days is must for any RCC
structures constructed using ordinary Portland cement.
 All the starters should be cured for a minimum of 24 hours. Columns can
be casted on the starters within 24 hours and curing of column and starter
can go on simultaneously.
 Do not ignore the slab curing to facilitate marking of columns for the upper
slab. Such areas where column marking has to be done. Wet hessian cloth
should be used and curing should be done.
 During hot weather conditions, curing compounds can be used, after
permission from the structural consultant.
 In a rare Occurrence where the reinforcements is exposed after de
shuttering. a special premix concrete of an approved make should be used
to treat the area.
 The very next day after concreting. the date of concreting should be painted
on the concrete element to ensure proper curing.

6.2 INTERNSHIP OUTCOMES

1) Gained work experience and transferable skills:

Students all have their educational experience in common. What stand out to employers
is those students who also have work experiences by the time they graduate. This
automatically makes them more marketable; as they may require less training and are
assumed to be able to handle more responsibilities. In addition to the specialized skills of
your field, transferable skills are generally required at any job, e.g.
communication/interpersonal skills, computer proficiency, and team work.

2) Course Credit:
Academically I have fulfilled internship, hence the outcome is I can
earn the good marks Thus in terms of academics I can secure good marks and
complete my course.

3) Be Able To Experience a Prospective Career Path:


Most students enter college with an idea of a major or career path and most
students end up changing their minds. Exploring is a very important part of the
academic process, and gaining a work experience is a great way for students to
acquaint themselves with a field they are looking to learn about. By the time of
graduation, the students have confidence that the degrees they are receiving are
the right ones for them.

4) Gain Practical Experience, By Applying Methods and Theories Learned In


Classes:
Many people learn best by being hands on. But everyone can benefit
from seeing the things that they have been learning in class, put to action;
whether it’s in a chemistry research lab, a marketing development meeting, or
a substance abuse counselling session.

5) Network with Professionals in Our Field, For References and Future Job
Opportunities:
It’s all about who you know. As a student intern, we are surrounded by
professionals in the industry that we are seeking access to. It’s more than just
about getting a grade, earning credit, or making money. This is an opportunity
to learn from everyone around us, ask questions, and impress them with our
eagerness. These people can be your future colleagues or can be the connection
to our first job.

6) Develop New Skills and Refine Others:


Learn our strengths and weaknesses by creating learning objectives and
receiving feedback from our supervisor. This is a unique learning opportunity
that we may never have again as a working adult. Embrace the mistakes that
you’ll make and the many things that you won’t know. Ask questions, observe,
and take risks.

7) Gain Confidence in Our Abilities:


Practice makes perfect. If we’ve learned about a specific technique in
the classroom, we are able to test it out in the world of work. Then, you’ll be
much more equipped with the technique.
