The grade of concrete refers to its strength and is determined by the ratio of cement to sand to aggregate.
The grade of concrete is typically denoted by a number followed by the letter 'M', such as M20, M30, etc.
The number in the grade represents the compressive strength of the concrete in megapascals (MPa) after 28 days of curing.
For example, M20 concrete has a compressive strength of 20 MPa, while M30 concrete has a ...
The unit used for estimating painting work is square feet.
Square feet is commonly used to estimate the amount of paint needed for a project.
Other units like square meters can also be used depending on the region.
Calculations are based on the surface area to be painted.
RL in survey stands for Reduced Level, which is the vertical distance between a point and a reference point.
RL is used in surveying to determine the elevation of a point relative to a known reference point.
It is commonly used in construction projects to ensure accurate leveling of structures and surfaces.
RL can be calculated using leveling instruments such as a dumpy level or a theodolite.
For example, if a benchmark ha...
Types of cement include Portland cement, rapid-hardening cement, and sulfate-resistant cement.
Portland cement is the most common type and is used in general construction.
Rapid-hardening cement sets quickly and is often used in repair work.
Sulfate-resistant cement is used in areas where soil or water has high sulfate content.
The size of columns in civil engineering is determined based on the load they will support and the height of the structure.
Columns are sized based on the load they will support, with larger loads requiring larger columns.
The height of the structure also plays a role in determining column size, with taller structures requiring larger columns for stability.
Factors such as material strength, column spacing, and building c...
Mivan slab cycle is a construction technique using aluminum formwork for casting slabs in a repetitive cycle.
Mivan slab cycle involves setting up aluminum formwork panels for casting slabs.
The cycle includes fixing reinforcement, pouring concrete, curing, and then dismantling the formwork for reuse.
This method is efficient, cost-effective, and results in high-quality finishes.
Mivan slab cycle reduces construction time ...

I applied via Naukri.com and was interviewed in Dec 2023. There was 1 interview round.
The least count of a dumpy level staff reading is typically 0.01 ft or 1 mm.
The least count is the smallest measurement that can be read on the scale of the dumpy level staff.
For most dumpy levels, the least count is 0.01 ft or 1 mm.
This means that the dumpy level can measure differences in elevation as small as 0.01 ft or 1 mm.
Concrete cover is provided for reinforcement to protect it from corrosion, fire, and other environmental factors.
Concrete cover protects reinforcement from corrosion by preventing exposure to moisture and aggressive chemicals.
It provides fire resistance by acting as a barrier between the reinforcement and the fire.
Concrete cover helps in maintaining the bond between reinforcement and concrete, ensuring structural integ...
The volume of a 50 kg bag of cement varies depending on the density of the cement.
The volume of cement can be calculated using the formula: Volume = Mass / Density
The density of cement typically ranges from 1.1 to 1.6 g/cm^3
For example, if the density of the cement is 1.4 g/cm^3, the volume of a 50 kg bag would be approximately 35.71 liters
Ductility of steel refers to its ability to deform without breaking under stress.
Ductility is a crucial property in structural engineering as it allows steel to be shaped and formed into various structures.
Steel with high ductility can undergo significant deformation before failure.
Ductility is often measured by the percentage of elongation or reduction in area during a tensile test.
Examples of ductile materials includ
The size of a concrete cube is typically 150mm x 150mm x 150mm.
Standard size of a concrete cube is 150mm x 150mm x 150mm
Used for testing the compressive strength of concrete
Other sizes like 100mm x 100mm x 100mm or 200mm x 200mm x 200mm may also be used
Civil engineers at site are responsible for overseeing construction projects, ensuring they are completed safely, on time, and within budget.
Supervising construction activities to ensure compliance with design specifications and safety standards
Managing resources and materials efficiently to meet project deadlines
Collaborating with architects, contractors, and other stakeholders to resolve any issues that may arise

Minimum concrete grade for RCC work is M20.
Minimum concrete grade for RCC work is M20 as per IS 456:2000.
Higher grades like M25, M30, M35, etc. can also be used depending on structural requirements.
Concrete grades indicate the compressive strength of concrete after 28 days of curing.
Higher grades are used for structures requiring higher strength like bridges, high-rise buildings, etc.
The density of unit weight of cement is typically around 1440 kg/m^3.
The density of unit weight of cement is commonly around 1440 kg/m^3.
This value can vary slightly depending on the type and brand of cement.
Density is a measure of mass per unit volume, in this case, kilograms per cubic meter.
Grade of cement refers to the strength of the cement as per the compressive strength test.
Grade of cement is determined by the compressive strength of cement mortar cubes at 28 days of curing.
Common grades of cement include 33, 43, and 53 where the number represents the compressive strength in MPa.
Higher grade cement is used for structures requiring higher strength like bridges and high-rise buildings.
The slump value of concrete for Normal RCC work is typically between 25-75 mm.
The slump value of concrete for Normal RCC work is usually around 50 mm.
The slump value can vary based on the specific requirements of the project and the mix design.
A higher slump value indicates a more workable concrete mix, while a lower slump value may be used for specialized applications.
It is important to test the slump value of concret...
Generally, 7-8 bags of cement are required to fill 1 cubic meter of concrete.
On average, 7-8 bags of cement are needed to fill 1 cubic meter of concrete.
The exact number of bags may vary based on the mix design and proportions used.
For example, if each bag of cement is 50 kg, then 7 bags would be 350 kg and 8 bags would be 400 kg.
I applied via Company Website and was interviewed in Apr 2023. There were 3 interview rounds.
OPC cement is made from limestone and clay, while PPC cement is made from fly ash and clay.
OPC cement has higher strength and is used for construction of high-rise buildings and bridges.
PPC cement has better workability and is used for plastering and finishing works.
PPC cement is more eco-friendly as it uses industrial waste as a raw material.
OPC cement is costlier than PPC cement.
OPC cement is commonly used in areas w...
A two way slab is a type of reinforced concrete slab that is supported by beams on all four sides.
