CODAL provisions for concrete refer to the guidelines and regulations set by relevant authorities, while commands of software are the specific instructions or functions within a software program.
CODAL provisions for concrete include specifications for mix design, strength requirements, and durability standards.
Commands of software for site engineers may include functions for structural analysis, quantity takeoff, and p...
I appeared for an interview in Sep 2024, where I was asked the following questions.
RMR stands for Rock Mass Rating, a system for classifying rock masses based on their geomechanical properties.
RMR is used to assess the stability of rock masses in tunneling and mining.
It considers factors like uniaxial compressive strength, rock quality, and groundwater conditions.
For example, a high RMR value indicates good rock conditions, while a low value suggests potential instability.
RMR values typically range f...
A rock bolt pull-out test evaluates the anchorage strength of rock bolts in underground structures.
Measures the bond strength between the rock and the bolt.
Involves applying a tensile load to the bolt until failure occurs.
Used to assess the effectiveness of rock support systems.
Example: Testing rock bolts in a tunnel to ensure stability.
Results help in designing safe and effective support systems.
Retention time for concrete refers to the duration it takes for concrete to achieve its desired strength and durability.
Concrete typically reaches about 70% of its strength in 7 days.
Full curing can take up to 28 days for most concrete mixes.
Factors affecting retention time include temperature, humidity, and mix design.
For example, high temperatures can accelerate curing, while low temperatures can delay it.
Proper curi...
NATM focuses on utilizing the surrounding rock for support, while the Conventional Method relies on pre-defined structures.
NATM uses the ground's natural strength, allowing for flexible design adjustments during excavation.
Conventional Method often employs rigid support systems like steel ribs and shotcrete from the start.
NATM is more adaptable to varying geological conditions, making it suitable for complex terrains.

Rock bolts are essential for stabilizing rock masses in tunneling and mining, with various types suited for different applications.
1. Mechanical Rock Bolts: Used for immediate support in unstable rock conditions; examples include expansion bolts.
2. Grouted Rock Bolts: Provide long-term support by bonding with the rock; commonly used in underground mines.
3. Self-Drilling Anchors: Ideal for weak or fractured rock; they d...
Rocks are classified into three main types: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, each formed through different geological processes.
Igneous rocks: Formed from cooled magma or lava. Example: Granite, Basalt.
Sedimentary rocks: Formed from the accumulation of sediment. Example: Sandstone, Limestone.
Metamorphic rocks: Formed from existing rocks altered by heat and pressure. Example: Schist, Marble.
Concrete should ideally be poured at temperatures above 50°F (10°C) to ensure proper curing and strength development.
The minimum temperature for pouring concrete is generally 50°F (10°C).
At temperatures below 40°F (4°C), special precautions are needed to prevent freezing.
Using insulating blankets or heated enclosures can help maintain temperature.
In cold weather, additives like accelerators can be used to speed up curi...
Codes for steel and concrete construction ensure safety, quality, and performance in structural engineering.
AISC (American Institute of Steel Construction) provides codes for steel structures.
ACI (American Concrete Institute) sets standards for concrete design and construction.
Eurocode 2 and Eurocode 3 are European standards for concrete and steel, respectively.
IBC (International Building Code) incorporates various sta...
Shotcreting is a method of applying concrete through a nozzle to provide structural support and surface protection in tunnels.
Provides immediate support to tunnel walls and ceilings, preventing collapses.
Used to stabilize loose soil or rock surfaces, enhancing safety during excavation.
Can be applied in various forms, such as dry-mix or wet-mix shotcrete, depending on project requirements.
Commonly used in underground co...
I applied via Approached by Company and was interviewed in Jul 2024. There was 1 interview round.
Berthing of a vessel refers to the process of docking or mooring a ship at a pier or quay.
Factors affecting berthing include wind speed and direction, current, tide, visibility, size and maneuverability of the vessel, availability of tugs or mooring lines, and the condition of the berth.
Safety during berthing is crucial to prevent collisions, damage to the vessel or pier, and injuries to personnel. Proper communication...
