Precast structures are pre-made concrete elements that are manufactured off-site and then assembled on-site.
Precast structures are made by pouring concrete into molds and allowing it to cure before being transported to the construction site.
They are commonly used in the construction of buildings, bridges, parking garages, and stadiums.
Precast structures offer advantages such as faster construction time, improved qualit...
Pile load test is a method to determine the load-carrying capacity and behavior of deep foundations.
Pile load test involves applying a known load to a pile and measuring its response.
There are different types of pile load tests, such as static load test, dynamic load test, and statnamic load test.
Static load test is commonly performed by applying a gradually increasing load to the pile and measuring the settlement.
Dyna...
Stantions wire is used in launching of segments to provide stability and support during the construction process.
Stantions wire acts as a temporary support system for the segments during launching.
It helps in maintaining the alignment and position of the segments during the construction process.
Stantions wire also helps in distributing the load evenly across the segments.
It provides stability and prevents any potential...
BBS stands for Bar Bending Schedule.
BBS is a document that provides details of reinforcement steel bars required for a construction project.
It includes information like bar diameter, length, shape, and quantity.
BBS helps in estimating the amount of steel required and ensures proper reinforcement in the structure.
It is prepared based on structural drawings and specifications.
BBS aids in cost estimation, material procure...
Voids in a slab or bridge segment serve various functions such as reducing weight, accommodating utilities, and allowing for expansion and contraction.
Voids in slabs or bridge segments help reduce the overall weight of the structure.
They can accommodate utilities such as electrical wiring, plumbing, or HVAC systems.
Voids allow for expansion and contraction of the structure due to temperature changes.
They provide space ...
Workability refers to the ease and ability of a material to be manipulated, shaped, and compacted without losing its desired properties.
Workability is a crucial factor in construction and engineering, especially in concrete and other building materials.
It is influenced by factors such as water content, aggregate size and shape, and the use of admixtures.
Good workability allows for easier placement, compaction, and fini...

I applied via Naukri.com and was interviewed in Apr 2024. There was 1 interview round.
Favourable zone in RCC refers to the region of a reinforced concrete member where the concrete is in compression and the steel is in tension.
Favourable zone is the area where the concrete is able to resist compressive forces effectively.
It is typically located at the top of a beam or slab, where the bending moment is highest.
In this zone, the steel reinforcement helps to resist tensile forces, while the concrete resist...
Lap length is the length of overlap between two reinforcing bars in a concrete structure to ensure proper transfer of loads.
Lap length is important for ensuring the continuity of reinforcement in concrete structures.
It is typically specified in building codes and design standards.
The lap length required depends on factors such as the diameter of the bars, concrete strength, and design loads.
For example, in a beam, the ...
Lapping in reinforcement involves overlapping two reinforcement bars to ensure continuity and strength in the structure.
Lapping is commonly used in construction to connect two reinforcement bars together.
The length of the lap varies depending on the design requirements and the type of reinforcement used.
Proper lapping ensures that the load is transferred effectively between the bars.
Examples of lapping include lap spli
Bearings in bridges help distribute loads and allow for movement due to temperature changes and settlement.
Bearings help distribute the loads from the superstructure to the substructure of the bridge.
They allow for movement of the bridge deck due to temperature changes, wind forces, and settlement of the foundation.
Bearings help reduce stress on the bridge components and prevent damage.
Common types of bearings used in ...
Types of expansion joints include slip joints, bellows joints, and modular joints.
Slip joints allow for movement in one direction only
Bellows joints accommodate movement in multiple directions
Modular joints are made up of separate components that can be replaced individually

I applied via Referral and was interviewed in Dec 2023. There was 1 interview round.
Fixed connection does not allow rotation at the base plate, while pinned connection allows rotation.
Fixed connection is rigid and does not allow rotation at the base plate.
Pinned connection allows rotation at the base plate.
Fixed connection provides more stability and resistance to lateral forces.
Pinned connection is more flexible and allows for some movement.
Examples: Fixed connection is commonly used in high-rise bui...
The rise is the vertical distance between two consecutive steps, while the tread is the horizontal distance.
The rise is typically around 7-8 inches, while the tread is usually around 10-11 inches.
The rise and tread dimensions are important for ensuring safe and comfortable stair design.
Building codes often dictate the minimum and maximum rise and tread dimensions for safety reasons.
Pitch distance in bolt refers to the distance between the centers of adjacent bolts in a bolted connection.
Pitch distance is typically measured from the center of one bolt to the center of the next bolt in a row.
It is important to maintain consistent pitch distances to ensure proper load distribution and structural integrity.
For example, in a bolted connection with a pitch distance of 2 inches, the centers of adjacent
