i. Subgrade
The finished and compacted surface of earthwork on which a road pavement rests is called subgrade
or formation. The subgrade of a road may be provided on an embankment, in cutting or existing
ground level depending upon the topography and the finalized formation level. It consists of well
compacted natural soil brought to the required camber and gradient. The thickness and type of
pavement structure depend upon the supporting power of the subgrade because the entire load of the
pavement, including the load of traffic transmitted through the pavement, is ultimately taken up by
the subgrade.
ii. Sub-base
A layer of granular material provided in between the subgrade and the base course in a road
pavement is known as sub-base. It is provided as an additional layer when subgrade is of poor
quality. It consists of a layer comparatively cheaper material like burnt clinker, natural gravel
or slag. We are used sand cousins as a sub base layer under base course. This sand is what the
pavers will be sitting on directly, soit’simportant to prepare the surface thoroughly. Typically, a
1” layer of sand is applied all over the work area. It is essential to provide a softer layer for the
pavers to settle into – otherwise they may crack or break in the next stage of the process. Avoid
high-spots or valleys, reworking them if need be in order to get a flat surface.
When running the machine on top of the pavers, we highly recommend using a urethane mat on your
compactor to minimize potential damage to the pavers and the machine. This is essential when using
synthetically manufactured pavers – common in North America – as opposed to the tougher granite
stone. Finally, finish off the process by running the compactor over the pavers whilst adding fine
sand between the joints to finally settle the pavers and create the necessary density between them to
keep them stable.
The basic principle of compacting any material is the same: put the material down in layers and
compact between each one.

2.3 Plinth Protection of building
Plinth protection reduces direct water from entering into the soil close to the plinth wall. In other
words, the area surrounding the building is usually known as plinth protection.
The protection of the plinth is necessary to prevent/reduce the infiltration of water in the soil that
reaches the plinth wall and reaches the floor level by capillary action.
The plinth beam protection reduces the direct entry of water into the ground near the plinth board
wall.
In technical terms, the area around the building is generally known as plinth protection. The
plinth protection is usually done by pouring a layer of approximately 100 mm of
common cement concrete along the edge of the building.
20
The main idea behind this is to prevent water retention along the edge of the building, thus
ensuring a long service life in most basic buildings, the protection of the plinth is usually left
exposed for viewing.
However, in the case of well-finished buildings, the plinth beam protection can be covered with a
layer of sidewalk blocks, gravel, or even the surrounding lawn.
The protection of the plinth is necessary to prevent/reduce the infiltration of water in the soil that
reaches the plinth wall and reaches the floor level by capillary action.
The plinth board protection reduces the direct entry of water into the ground near the plinth
board wall. In other words, the area around the building is generally known as plinth protection.
However, in the case of well-finished buildings, the plinth board protection can be covered with
a layer of sidewalk blocks, gravel, or even the surrounding lawn.
Note: The plinth board protection is provided to prevent the extension or spread of cracks in the
foundation on the wall above when the foundation is laid. If water is seeping into the ground.

Septic tanks are classified into 4 different types based on materials used for manufacturing and
they are as follows:
27
Concrete septic tanks are available in two types based on their structural configuration: single
structure tanks or all-in-one systems. In single structure tanks, each chamber (such as aeration
chamber, clarifier, trash tank, etc.) is pre-casted separately while in the all-in-one system, all
such chambers are provided in one large tank. Some of the advantages and disadvantages of
precast concrete septic tanks are given below.
Advantages
Concrete septic tanks are heavy in weight and hence they will not float if the water table
is near the tank level.
The lifespan of concrete septic tanks is very long and they may survive for many decades.
They are strong enough and are not easily damaged by heavy machines.
They are rustproof.
Drawbacks
28
2.5.3 Steel Septic Tanks
Steel septic tanks are made of steel and are least popular nowadays because of their cost and low
durability. The main problem associated with steel septic tanks is they deteriorate easily and
quickly compared to other materials.
If the top portion of the steel septic tank gets corroded, it cannot resist any weights on top of it
and may collapse suddenly at any time. Hence, while inspecting steel septic tanks, care should be
taken. These type of septic tanks are not recommended nowadays.
Advantages
Steel septic tanks are heavy in weight hence, they will not float when the water table is
nearer to the tank.
They have good resistance against buoyant forces.
Drawbacks
Steel gets corroded easily which lowers the life span of steel tanks compared to other
septic tank materials.
High price and low durability.
It is hard to remove corroded steel septic tanks from the ground. Their poor condition
may lead to dangerous situations.
29
Figure 2.13 Steel Septic Tank
30
Figure 2.14 Plastic Septic Tank
Advantages
Plastic septic tanks are economical compared to other types of septic tank materials.
They are easy to handle and install.
They have good chemical resistance.
Rustproof.
Good resistance against cracking.
Drawbacks
When the water table is near to the tank bottom, it may push the tank upwards and plastic
septic tanks may float due to its weight.
They are prone to damage under critical conditions.
Heavy weights should not be placed or moved over the plastic septic tank otherwise it
will deflect and change its shape which may finally lead to the explosion of the tank due
to high pressure.
31
Fiberglass septic tanks are made using fiber reinforced plastics (FRP). They are similar to plastic
septic tanks but the reinforcement of glass fibers makes them stronger than plastic tanks. They
are also light in weight and easy to handle.
The lighter weight of the tank may cause floating or shifting of the tank which can be eliminated
by proper anchoring of the tank to the ground. Some of the advantages and drawbacks of
fiberglass septic tanks are as follows:
Advantages
Drawbacks
Like plastic septic tanks, fiberglass septic tanks also cannot resist buoyant forces and will
float or shift when the water table is nearer to them

In today’s highly competitive, global world, civil engineers who possess the proper training,
education, and experience often find they have multiple career opportunities and options
available to them. These highly skilled engineers use their wide range of knowledge to grow and
successful careers in the public and private sectors. For those civil engineers who are early on in
their career, or for those who are looking to further their career success, it’s important to have a
solid grasp of the essential skills that are necessary for civil engineers today.
33
implementation on site. Labor is a less drawing reading and understanding party so an engineer
should know how to study drawings.
34
3.7 Organizational skills
One of the main duties of a licensed civil engineer is to monitor and evaluate the progress
of work completed at a jobsite, and making sure staff are in compliance with design documents,
project plans, and other rules and regulations. Licensed civil engineers are also the only ones
who can sign design documents for infrastructure projects. Due to this responsibility for the
official documents and the fact that engineers often work on multiple projects at once, they must
be able to organize project information, manage team members, and allocate resources where
necessary.
3.9 Decision-making
While working as a leader and manager of a project, a civil engineer will need to consider
the available information, conflicting goals from different parties involved, professional ethics,
financial responsibilities, and safety concerns when making decisions. They need to have
confidence in themselves and in their team for providing accurate and useful information in order
to make decisions that are clear and effective. Also, when mistakes are made, they should take
responsibility, learn what went wrong, and guide the project on a new path.
As technology evolves and the needs of growing populations change, civil engineers also need to
ensure they continually strengthen their existing skillsets and spend time honing and developing
new ones. Each new skill civil engineers master could help them land their dream job, or rise the
ranks in their existing organization.
3.10.1 Brick
A brick is a type of block used to build walls, pavements and other elements
in masonry construction. Clay bricks are classified as first class, second class, third class and
fourth class based on their physical and mechanical properties. First Class Bricks. 1. These are
thoroughly burnt and are of deep red, cherry or copper colour.

A tuff tile is a paving stone, tile brick or brick-like piece of concrete commonly used as
exterior flooring. In a factory, concrete pavers are made by pouring a mixture of concrete
and some type of coloring agent into a mold of some shape and allowing setting. They are
applied by pouring a standard concrete foundation, spreading sand on top, and then laying
the pavers in the desired pattern. No actual adhesive or retaining method is used other than
the weight of the paver itself except edging. Pavers can be used to make roads, driveways,
patios, walkways and other outdoor platforms.

3.10.8 Aggregate
Aggregate’ is a term for any particulate material. It includes gravel, crushed stone, sand,
slag, recycle concrete and geosynthetic aggregates. Aggregate may be natural,
manufactured or recycled.
Aggregates make up some 60 -80% of the concrete mix. They provide compressive
strength and bulk to concrete.
Aggregates in any particular mix of concrete are selected for their durability, strength,
workability and ability to receive finishes.
For a good concrete mix, aggregates need to be clean, hard, strong particles free of
absorbed chemicals or coatings of clay and other fine materials that could cause the
deterioration of concrete.
Aggregates are divided into either ‘coarse’ or ‘fine’ categories.
Typically, the most common size of aggregate used in construction is 20mm. A larger
size, 40mm, is more common in mass concrete .Larger aggregate diameters reduce the
quantity of cement and water needed.
40
3.10.9 Cement
Portland cement, binding material in the form of a finely ground powder, usually gray, that
is manufactured by burning and grinding a mixture of limestone and clay or limestone and
shale. The inventor Joseph Aspin, of England, patented the basic process in 1824, naming it
for the resemblance of the cement when set to Portland stone, a limestone from the Isle of
Portland. When mixed with water, the anhydrous calcium silicates and other constituents in
the Portland cement react chemically with the water, combining with it (hydration) and
decomposing in it (hydrolysis) and hardening and developing strength.
3.10.10 Sand
Sand is a naturally occurring granular material composed of finely divided rock and
mineral particles. It is defined by size, being finer than gravel and coarser than silt. Sand
can also refer to a textural class of soil or soil type a soil containing more than 85% sand
sized particles (by mass).The composition of sand varies, depending on the local rock
sources and condition but the most common constituent of sand in inland continental
settings and non-tropical coastal setting in silica (silicon dioxide, or SiO2), usually in the
form of quartz. The second most common type of sand is calcium carbonate, for example
magnate, which has mostly been created, over the past half billion years, by various forms
of life, like coral and shellfish. It is, for example, the primary form of sand apparent in
areas where reefs have dominated the ecosystem for millions of years like the Caribbean.

3.10.12 Plate compactor
A plate compactor is used to compress some types of soil and gravel for construction projects
that require a stable subsurface. The core of the machine is a heavy, flat plate that rests on the
ground when the machine is off.
4.1 FEEDBACK
During my internship period, I have been able to meet and network with so many people that I
am sure will be able to help me with opportunities in the future.
43
I conclude that internship is a building between the theoretical knowledge and the practical or the
reality work at the field of construction or civil engineering work.
One main thing that I have learned through this internship is time management skills as well as
self-motivation. When I first started, I did not think that I was going to be able to make myself
to be at site almost. Once I realized what I had to do I organized my day and work so that I was
not wasting my hours. I learned that I needed to be organized and have questions ready for when
it was the correct time to get feedback. From this internship and time management I had to learn
how to motivate myself through being in the site for so many hours. I came up with various
proposals and ideas that the company is still looking into using.
Overall the internship laid sound foundation for us to start our career. We are proud to be able to
contribute towards nation building the country’s extremely critical period of the history. It will
be definitely sensible to scale this practice up and to replicate in other disciplines as well.
Another benefit of an internship is the opportunity to test out a job, employment setting,
management style and other aspects of a workplace.
This internship was a great experience to me. It was a real pleasure for me to work in
project management department of M/S A.R Construction & Co. I worked with nice people in a
good atmosphere. Carrying out this internship M/S A.R Construction & Co allows me to be
immerged in a different way to meet several interesting people in the organization. This
internship provides me great opportunity to gain experience in a particular field or industry.
I gained a lot of insight regarding of almost every aspect of site was given exposure in
almost all the department at the site. The friendly welcome from all employs sharing their
experience and give their peace of wisdom which they have gained in a long journey of work am
very much thank full for wonder accommodation facility for A.R Construction .I hope this
experience is valuable to me as a means of allowing me to experience how my studies are
applied in the future, and as work experience that can be highly attractive to potential employers
on my CV.
4.2 CONCLUSION
1) Be patient. Never lose your temper. Communicate well as it will help you a lot in dealing with
your client which is again a tough job.
2) Learn how to write an e-mail effectively and while writing choose your words properly as this
will make or break the purpose of your message.
3) Don’t tend to panic in case of pressure. It will make things more badly.
4) If you well about experiments you do in concrete technology lab it is good even if you don’t
need to worry. You will be able to learn in no more of time once you start working. In general,
engineers don’t do survey, it is handled by another special team meant for surveying only. Other
44
than these there is not much scope for experiments done in other labs, unless you are posted to
do works related to Geo-technical field.
5) Start working out on general arrangement and reinforcement drawings. This is only main
work, which is done by an engineer at site other than managing. You are supposed to execute
whatever show in those drawings at site and get it approved from the site.
6) Learn how to talk openly, manage various construction activities at a site. Managing is what
most of the time you will do as an engineer.
4.3 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 either 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. In the site there
are works which are performed in the way that were not to be performed. Such works leads to
safety problem, loose of human power if its degree is high and economy if it is ordered to
demolish it.
