CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1. GENERAL
It is a practical experience opportunity offered by companies to learn
practical aspects of professional work life which is very different from what we
learn in the class rooms. Since learning happens through education, exposure and
experience, internship provides us a taste of learning through exposure and
experience.
There are many benefits of internship. When you work you learn. It can add
the remarkable value to the student’s career. In an internship, the students are given
the chance to showcase their skills, talents, commitment and value to a prospective
employer.
During site visit I had the chance to explore and observe the construction of
foundation, footings, columns, slab and other finishing works of the residential
apartment buildings.

During my Internship program , I paid special attention to:


 Excavation, Retaining wall construction ,Placing Footing and Plinth Beams at
Shrinidhi Apartments construction site
 Rain Water Harvesting and at Madhuban Laxmi Nivas Apartment.
 Supervision at Sai Madhuban Hill View Apartment Construction site and its

Quantity Surveying.

2.1.3 Basic Technical Aspects


 Minimum depth of excavation from natural ground level is to be 6 ft.
 Foundations are designed for SBC of 270 KN/sq.m.
 Footings and columns are designed for ground+3 floors only.
 Concrete used is of M20 grade for all structural members.
 Grade of reinforcement steel is of Fe500 conforming to IS: 1786 with a min. yield
strength of 500 N/sq.mm.
 Clear cover to any reinforcement shall be:
a) Footings= 50mm
b) Columns= 35mm (to main bars)
c) Beams= 25mm
d) Slabs= 20mm
 Beams, columns and footings are designed for gravity loads only.

2.1.4 Excavation
Excavation is the first step of construction. It refers to the process of
removing soil or rock from its original location, typically in preparation for constructing
foundations, basements, and underground utility lines and for grading of the ground
surface. Excavated material required for backfill or grading fill is stockpiled on the site
for subsequent use. Excavation work I have seen was including bulk excavation, pit
excavation and trench excavation. The main aim of the excavation work is to remove
organic soils or unwanted soil for the safety of the building from chemical attacking.
Excavation shall be carried out to the lines, levels, width, depth and grades and shown 25
on the drawings, directed by the Engineer or as appropriate to the works to be placed in
the excavation.
Pit excavation: It is an excavation made for foundation footing pad with column by
considering working space of 200 up to 300mm to each side of the dimension. Trench
excavation: It is an excavation made for constructing foundation walls stone masonry
with leaving working area for both sides of the wall of specified width on the plan. This
depth is filled by the stone masonry which placed on 5cm thick lean concrete, Stone

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, AGMRCET, Varur Page 6


INTERNSHIP REPORT 2018-19

masonry should be laid with specified mortar, well filled joint The stone should be
hard, sound, free from crack and weathering It should be freshly quarried from an
approved quarry, It is not round surface

Figure 2 Labour Doing Excavation Work


 The soil at this site is black cotton soil.
 For the construction of this building excavation is done up to the depth of 8’-9’ as
it is an apartment and has black cotton soil.
 The excavated area is leveled using a tamping rammer.

2.1.5 Foundation work


A structure essentially consists of 2 parts namely superstructure which is above
the plinth level and substructure which is below the plinth level. Substructure or the
foundation is an important element of structure which connects the entire structure to the
ground, and uniformly transfers the load to the foundation soil. The soil on which
foundation rests is called foundation soil. Generally 30% of the total construction cost is
spent on the foundation.

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, AGMRCET, Varur Page 7


INTERNSHIP REPORT 2018-19

Foundations have the following purposes:


 To distribute the load of the structure over a large bearing area so as to
bring intensity of loading with the safe bearing capacity of the soil lying
underneath.
 To load the bearing surface at a uniform rate so as to prevent unequal
settlement.
 To prevent the lateral movement of the supporting materials. To secure a
level and firm bed for building operation.
 To increase the stability of the structure as a whole.
 To ensure safety against undermining and protection against soil
movements.
 To provide even surface for the structure to rest etc
2.1.6 Footing

Figure 3

A concrete support under a foundation that rests in solid ground is known as


footing. Footings distribute the weight of structure over the ground.

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, AGMRCET, Varur Page 8


INTERNSHIP REPORT 2018-19

 Isolated rectangular footings are adopted on this site.


Isolated footings are footings which carry a load from a single column.

2.1.7 Retaining walls


Retaining walls are relatively rigid walls used for supporting the soil mass
laterally so that the soil can be retained at different levels on the two sides.
 First Formwork is done then the concrete is poured inside it.
 In this site all 4 sides are open hence formwork is done by using wooden planks in
all the sides.
 Thickness of the retaining wall is 9” to 12”.
 Reinforcement is also provided in the retaining walls with 10mm bars of Fe500.
2.1.8 Columns
Columns are rigid vertical structural members designed primarily to support axial
compressive loads coming from beams and slabs and then transfer it to ground through
footing.

 The column details are given below in the table:

Table 3

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, AGMRCET, Varur Page 11


INTERNSHIP REPORT 2018-19

Figure 4. Columns placed at the Site


2.1.9 Beams
Beam is a structural element that primarily resists loads applied laterally to the
beams axis.
 Its mode of deflection is primarily by bending.
 The loads applied to the beam result in reaction forces at the beam support points.
 The total effect of all the forces acting on the beams is to produce shear forces and
bending moment within the beam that in turn reduce internal stresses, strains and
deflections of the beam.
 Beams are characterized by their means of support, profile (shape of cross
section), length and their material.

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, AGMRCET, Varur Page 12


INTERNSHIP REPORT 2018-19

Beam Reinforcement Details:

Table 4
Classification of beams based on supports:
1) Simply supported: Beams supported on the ends which are free to rotate and
have no moment resistance.
2) Fixed: A beam supported on both ends and restrained from rotation.
3) Over hanging: A simple beam existing beyond its on one end.
4) Double over hanging: A simple beam with both ends extending beyond its
support on both ends.
5) Continuous: A beam extending over more than 2 supports.
6) Cantilever: A projecting beam with both ends extending beyond its supports on
both ends.
7) Trussed: A beam strengthened by adding a cable or rod to form a truss.
DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, AGMRCET, Varur Page 13
INTERNSHIP REPORT 2018-19

General shapes:
 Most beams in reinforced concrete in the buildings have rectangular cross
sections.
 Also other shapes like L (angles), C (channel) or tubes are also used in
construction when there are special requirements.
Stresses acting on the beam:
Most probably compressive, tensile and shear stresses of loads are applied to them.

2.3.2 Rainwater Harvesting
It is technique of collection and storage of rain water into reservoirs or tanks. One
of the methods of rain water harvesting is roof water harvesting. This type of harvesting
holds good for mostly any kind of surface such as tiles , metals , sheets , plastics etc. but
not grass or palm leaf .
It can be used to intercept the flow of rain water and provide a household and with
high quality drinking water and year round storage. Other applications include water for
gardens live stocks and irrigation etc.
Harvesting rain water for savage of drinking water has gained enormously in
significance, as modern water saving sanitary technique.
These can be used for private and public buildings as well as for many industrial
areas.

What is rain water harvesting and why is it important?


Water is our most precious natural resource and something that most of us take for
granted we are now increasingly becoming aware of the importance of water to our
survival and its limited supply, especially in dry content.
Need for rain water harvesting:
 To arrest decline in ground water levels.
 To improve the ground water quality by dilution.
 To increase agricultural production
Advantages of rain water harvesting:
 Easy to maintain.
 Reducing water bills.
 Suitable for irrigation.
 Reduces demand on ground water.

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, AGMRCET, Varur Page 30


INTERNSHIP REPORT 2018-19

Disadvantages of rain water harvesting:


 Unpredictable rain fall.
 High cost.
 Regular maintenance.
 Storage ducts

Methods of Rain water harvesting:


 Urban areas: Roof top rain water/storm runoff water harvesting through.
 recharge pit
 recharge trench
 tube wells
 recharge wells
 In this site using tube well technique.
 Roof top rain water rain water harvesting through existing tube wells.
 In areas where the shallow aquifers have dried up and existing tube wells are
taping dipper aquifers, roof top rain water harvesting through existing tube wells
a\can we adopted to recharge deeper aquifers.
 PVC pipes of 10cm diameter are connected to the roof drains to collect the rain
water. The first roof runoff is let off through the bottom of drain pipe. After
closing the bottom pipe rain water of subsequent rain showers taken to a online
PVC filter
 The filter may be provided before water enters the tube well. The filter is 1m-1.2m
in length and is made up of PVC pipe. Its drain should vary depending on area of
roof, 15cm if roof area is less than 150sq.m and 20cm if roof area is more .The
filter is provided with reduces of 6.25cm on both the sides. Filter is divided into 3
chambers by PVC screens so that filter materials is not 6of 6.25cm on both the
sides. Filter is divided into 3 chambers by PVC screens so that filter materials is
not fired up .The first chamber is filled up with gravel(6-10mm) middle chamber
with pebbles (12mm-20mm)
And the last chambers with bigger pebbles (20mm-40mm).

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, AGMRCET, Varur Page 31


INTERNSHIP REPORT 2018-19

 If the roof area is more, filter pit is provided. Rain water from roof is taken to
collection de silting chambers located on ground. This collection chambers are
interconnected as well as connected to the filter pit through pipes having a slope
of 1:15. The filter pit may vary and shape and size depending upon available
runoff and are top with varying thickness (0.3-0.5m) and may be separated by
screen. The pit is divided into 2 chambers filter material is one chamber and other
chamber is kept empty, on accommodation excess filtered water and monitor
filtered water. A connecting pipe with recharge well is provided at the bottom of
the pit for recharging filtered water through well.

Important points to be considered before constructing rain water


harvesting:
 Annual rainfall has to be at least 100-200mm.
 The roof on which the rainfall occurs has to be bigger at least around 30 sq. mtrs.
 The area where rain water gets collected has to be clean.
 There has to be sufficient space for constructing the storage tank for the rain water
to get collected.

2.3.3 Sump Tank


A sump is an underground (or partially underground) tank that is popular in India,
it is usually used for large water tank storage and can be built cheaply.
The water that comes from the corporation can be stored in this tank and later can
be pumped up to overhead tanks.

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, AGMRCET, Varur Page 32


INTERNSHIP REPORT 2018-19

Figure15 Sump Tank

Suitable conditions:
The ground should not be rocky closed to the surface, which can hinder
the digging and conservation process, secondly the ground water table in the area
should not be very below the bottom of the tank. Underground some tanks must
not be built very close to the undergroung sewerage chambers.

2.3.4 Considerations, operations and maintenance:


The overflow pipe should be just below tank/sump cover so that there is
no dead space and the tank can be used to its maximum capacity. The overflow
pipe should divert the excess water away from the sump and the foundation of
other buildings and structure.
 This water should be directed to gardens or into the storm water drain and should
not be installed at the end of the overflow pipe so that light and other impurities
do not enter the tank.
 Water should be extracted from the tank/ sump only by means of a tap or pump.
Taps or drain off pipes should not be very close to the bottom of the tank, since

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, AGMRCET, Varur Page 33


INTERNSHIP REPORT 2018-19

there is likelihood of sedimentation and the dirt should be allowed to settle and
remain in the tank until cleaned.
 Cylindrical Ferro cement or reinforcement cement concrete recommended as tank
building material plastic or brick is not recommended.

CONCLUSION
This program played an important role to break the conventional thought that field works
can be only implemented by students 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 consulting and construction side
HORIZON CONSTRUCTION CO. I got opportunity to work in the different party of the
construction work which helped me to gain more knowledge by seeing what they work in
their own office and what are their main responsibilities to the client and also each other
As per my training , I have conclude that , during my training days I was familiar
with the construction of excavation, Foundation work , Footings,Columns ,Beams , Brick
masonry, slab and Rain Water Harvesting.
