INTRODUCTION
1.1 ABOUT INTERNSHIP
Civil engineering internships are opportunities for students or
recent graduates to gain practical experience in the field of civil
engineering. As an intern, you will work alongside experienced civil
engineers and contribute to various projects that help build and
maintain infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, buildings, and water
treatment facilities. During your internship, you will have the
opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge you have gained in
school to real-world situations, develop technical and professional
skills, and gain insight into the daily activities of a civil engineer. You
will also have the opportunity to work on different stages of projects,
from planning and design to construction and maintenance.
In addition to technical skills, you will also develop valuable
interpersonal and communication skills, as you will be working with a
team of professionals and communicating with clients and
stakeholders. An internship typically involves an agreement where the
student provides services to an organization in exchange for gaining
experience, and it can also help them assess their interest in a specific
career, develop a network of contacts, or earn school credit, with the
potential of securing permanent paid employment with the organization
upon completion, as experienced interns may require little or no
additional training. However, unlike a trainee program, permanent
employment is not guaranteed at the end of the internship.
Overall, a civil engineering internship is an excellent way to gain
practical experience and build a foundation for a successful career in
civil engineering. It can also help you make valuable connections in the
industry and set you up for future job opportunities.

WORKS OBSERVED
4.1 FOUNDATION
Foundations are generally considered either shallow or deep. A
foundation is the element of a structure which connects it to the ground,
and transfers loads from the structure to the ground.

4.1.1 PURPOSE OF FOUNDATION

❖ The foundation of the building is designed to distribute the weight

of the structure evenly across the ground.
❖ A strong foundation provides stability to the building, ensuring
that it can withstand lateral and vertical forces.
❖ The foundation supports the structural elements of the building,
including the walls, floors, and roof.
❖ A properly constructed foundation can prevent moisture from
penetrating the building and causing water damage.
❖ In addition to providing structural support, the foundation can
also provide insulation, helping to regulate the temperature inside the
building.

4..1.2 TYPES OF FOUNDATION

❖ Shallow foundation
❖ Deep foundation
❖ Pile foundation
❖ Raft or Mat foundation
❖ Strip foundation
❖ Pad foundation
❖ Grillage foundation
❖ Combined footing foundation
❖ Floating foundation

DEPARTEMNT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING KLEDrMSSCET, BELAGAVI 7

 INTERNSHIP REPORT

❖ Shallow foundation: It is a type of building foundation that

transfers structural load to the earth very near to the surface,
rather than to a subsurface layer or a range of depths, as does a
deep foundation.
❖ Deep foundation: Deep foundation are those in which the depth
of the foundation is very large in comparison to its width.
❖ Pile foundation: The term “pile foundation” denotes a
construction for the foundation of a wall or pier which is
supported on piles.
❖ Raft foundation: A raft foundation is a large concrete slab used
to interface one column or more than one column in several lines
with the base soil.
❖ Strip foundation: It is a type of foundation often used within
low or medium rise residential building.
❖ Pad foundation: The pad foundations are shallow foundation
that take and spread point loads to the soil safely. The pad
foundation are preferred if the soil at the site have sufficient
strength and is not too deep to construct.
❖ Grillage foundation: Grillage foundation consists of one or more
tiers of beams (steel or timber) superimposed at right angles to
each other on a concrete layer to disperse load over an extensive
area.
❖ Combined footing foundation: A combined footing is a type
of foundation constructed combining two columns.
❖ Floating foundation: A floating foundation is a type of
foundation constructed by excavating the soil in such a way that
the weight of structure built on the soil is nearly equal to the total
weight of the soil excavated from the ground including the weight
water in the soil before the construction of structure.

4.3 COLUMN

DEPARTEMNT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING KLEDrMSSCET, BELAGAVI 11

 INTERNSHIP REPORT

Columns in civil engineering can be defined as vertical structural

elements that act as supports and primarily support axial compressive
loads. They are slender members designed as a support to hold the
ceiling and roof, and the weight acting on them. The load acting on the
structure is transmitted to the foundation through these supports.
Columns can be monolithically constructed with beams and
decks, or prefabricated and placed on construction sites. It also helps in
resisting bending moments around one or both cross-section axes. The
monolithic casting of floors with beams and columns is performed to
improve bending moment resistance.

4.3.1 POSITIONING AND ORIENTATION OF COLUMN

❖ Columns should preferably be located at or near the corners of a
building, and at the intersection of beams/walls.
❖ Select the position of columns so as to reduce bending moments
in beams.
❖ Avoid larger spans of beams.
❖ Avoid larger Centre-to-Centre distance between columns.
❖ Columns on property line.

4.3.2 FORM -WORK FOR COLUMN:

❖ To hold the concrete shuttering firmly in place with proper
alignment, a concrete pad called “starter” is cast before fixing the
shuttering.

❖ Thickness of this starter pad is about 45mm to 60mm and

length/breadth of this starter is precisely the same as dimensions
of column. Starter pad should be cured for day or two so that it is
hard enough to fix the shuttering around it.

DEPARTEMNT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING KLEDrMSSCET, BELAGAVI 12

 INTERNSHIP REPORT

❖ Column box or shuttering for column is made of plywood sheets

or steel sheets, fabricated with additional stiffeners.

❖ A thin film of oil or grease should be applied to the inner surface

of the shuttering to enable easy removal of the column shuttering
after the concrete hardens.

❖ Shuttering shall be properly aligned to its verticality and diagonals

should be checked to ensure accuracy in dimensions.

❖ Shuttering shall be thoroughly supported with props or ties before

pouring the concrete so that it does not move horizontally or
vertically during concreting.

4.3.3 CASTING OF COLUMN

❖ Use machine mix concrete for less amount of concrete, and ready-
mix concrete for larger amount of concrete.
❖ Approval of placing concrete whether by manually or by pump
should be taken from the client.
❖ Concrete should be poured up to slab bottom and the remaining
column should be concreted during beam and slab concreting.
❖ Mechanical vibration must be used for full compaction of the
column, but remember excess vibration can create segregation of
the concrete. So each layer should be compacted properly.
❖ The target slump is 160 mm.
❖ Concrete should not be poured from more than 1.5 m height.

4.4 PLINTH BEAM

A plinth beam is a reinforced concrete beam that runs along the

plinth level of a building, which is the level of the ground floor. It is
designed to support the walls of a building and to prevent the walls
from cracking or collapsing due to soil pressure, especially in areas
with expansive or unstable soil.

The plinth beam is constructed after the foundation is laid and

before the masonry work begins.

4.4.1 STEPS FOR CONSTRUCTING THE PLINTH BEAM

❖ Excavation
❖ Formwork
❖ Reinforcement
❖ Concrete pouring
❖ Curing

Plinth beams are important for the structural stability of a

building, as they help to distribute the load of the walls evenly and
prevent differential settlement. They also act as a barrier to moisture,
which can rise up from the ground and cause dampness in the walls.

 INTERNSHIP REPORT

4.4.2 POINTS TO BE CONSIDERED IN SUPERVISING PLINTH

BEAM CONSTRUCTION

❖ Formwork used for plinth beam construction should be properly

installed and adequately secured prior to concrete placement.
❖ The concrete needs to be compacted sufficiently to prevent steel
bars from aggressive elements.
❖ It is recommended to provide two bars with 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
plinth 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 15cm should be sufficient.
❖ Controlling the proportion of the concrete mix.
❖ Ensuring and checking of line, level, plumb, and supports of the
shuttering.
❖ Plugging of all possible joints of shuttering from where the cement
slurry may flow out while vibrating concrete.
❖ Confirm the change in concrete grade for beams and columns.
❖ Ensure the compaction of the concrete.

MATERIAL MANAGEMENT

Proper material management is a critical aspect of the

construction industry since the storage conditions of materials can
directly impact their properties and ultimately, the final outcome of the
project. Incorrect storage practices can cause significant changes in the
material properties, which can affect the quality and integrity of the end
result. Efficient management and maintenance of machinery is
essential in the construction industry to avoid delays and additional
costs. Inefficient machinery can lead to prolonged project duration,
resulting in delayed project completion and increased project costs.
Therefore, proper management and maintenance of machinery are
crucial to ensure smooth and timely project execution.

6.1 STORAGE OF CEMENT

❖ Always store the cement in a dry place of the building.

❖ Cement bags should not be stacked against the wall.

 INTERNSHIP REPORT

❖ Cement bags should not be stacked more than 15 bags in height

and keep sufficient space between two rows.
❖ Cement bags should not be stacked on ground. It should be
stacked on raised dry platform and cover it properly.

6.2 AGGREGATE

❖ Aggregates should be stacked separately.

❖ The material should be stacked at a minimum distance from the
work place.
❖ Material should not be placed on soil, platform should be made
over which they can be laid.

6.3 SAND

❖ Sand should be procured properly.
