Following are the risk factors for workers, for not following the safety
protocols:
Inspection of Site
First or pre-construction Inspection
Inspection of Foundation before placing of concrete
Framing inspection
Insulation inspection is done after insulation
Lastly, the final inspection is done after the completion of the
construction
59. State out some of the Inspections, done after the
completion of construction?
1/8 on the architect ruler is a scale that converts 1/8 inch onto the
drawing to 1 foot. Its representation will be a drawing with a scale of
1/8”= 1 foot.

76. What are Wooden Shingles?
The client would sometimes not be able to know what they want
that is when the architect will face problems in designing the
structure.
When budget is limited
When the requirement of the customer is custom design at
standard design cost
When an architect is provided with less space to work
78. What is the standard roof height like to be?
Plastic bitumen
88. Explain the terms bending moment (BM) & Shear force
(SF)?
A bending moment is a reaction that tends to bend the element when
an external force or moment is applied to it in a sudden or gradual
manner. The most common or simplest example is the beam.
The sheer force acts perpendicular to its longitudinal (x) axis. For
design purposes, the beam’s ability to resist shear force is a major
objective than its ability to resist an axial force. The axial force acts
parallel to the longitudinal axis.
90. What is the process called for covering the concrete placed
on the exposed top of an external wall?
Coping
The Retaining wall
300 g
94. Duration in hours for CBR samples to be soaked?
Various types of cement which are used for quality construction are
listed below: Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC), Low Heat Portland
Cement, Colored Portland Cement, Hydrophobic cement, Ordinary
Portland Cement (OPC), White Portland Cement (WPC), Rapid
Hardening Cement, Portland Slag Cement, Sulphate resisting Portland
Cement, White Portland Cement (WPC), etc.
1. Batching of Concrete
2. Mixing.
3. Transportation of Concrete
4. Compaction of Concrete
5. Curing
101. What is Bursting Reinforcement?
While the scenario under tension is not the same. The aggregates in
tension are trying to pull away from each other and the bond is what
holds it tightly. Since it is significantly weaker than the aggregates, it
is what results in failure.
Grout is a fluid form of concrete that is used to fill the voids and this
method is nothing but grouting.

114. The length of each fish plate is_______
457.2mm
Double headrails
Flat bearing
It is the property of cement that ensures that the cement does not go
through any unwanted expansion or experience any change in volume
once it has been set. Cement soundness is a necessary process to
help cement get rid of any possibilities of the mortar or concrete from
getting expanded.
Anchors
Compacted earth and concrete are used depending on the dam type.
Many gravity dams could be constructed of compacted earth. While
high dams are generally made out of concrete. The spillway is a
necessary requirement for dams.
121. What is the Purpose of the Gap in the Road on the Bridge?
6.1m
123. The direction of the engines are changed using the device
called ______
Turntable
Buffer stops
Heel clearance
127. What are the tests used for checking brick quality?
Absorption test, Hardness Test, Shape & size test, crushing strength
test, soundness test, etc. are performed to determine the brick quality.
For example, In the water absorption test, brick is dipped in
freshwater for 16 hours in water. And depending on the weight of brick
its class is decided such as if the weight of brick after dipping in water
doesn’t exceed 20% it can be considered as a first-class brick if below
22.5% it can be considered as second class brick, and so on.
Tongue Clearance
131. the angle subtended between the gauge faces of the Stock
rail and check is _____
Critical Path Method is a strategy and method which uses the symbolic
diagram to represent the respective tasks and activities involved in the
construction.
The distance between the running face of the stock rail and the toe of
the tongue rail is known as the Throw of a switch.

139. How will you measure the volume of concrete?
Spirit level, Dumpy Level, and Leveling Pipes are used to check levels
on construction sites.
142. What is the accuracy of the least count we can take of the
dumpy level?
5mm is the least count for dumpy level. It is the accuracy that can be
provided by dumpy level.
143. How will you calculate the weight of 12m long and 10mm
dia. steel bar on-site?
Here, we can multiply the length of the steel bar by its unit weight
= 7.2 kg
