Reliance Industries Civil Graduate Engineer Trainee Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

It consisted of 3 rounds
1. General
2. Quant
3. Core
Basic core questions were asked. Transportation basics, structural basics, building material basics, geotech basics. Yes most of them were theoritical but some numericals were there too.

Q1. Standard tests of concrete, brick and aggregrates and the values required for good construction ?
Ans. 
Standard tests and values for concrete, brick, and aggregates in construction.
• Concrete tests: compressive strength, slump test, water absorption

• Brick tests: compressive strength, water absorption, efflorescence

• Aggregate tests: sieve analysis, specific gravity, water absorption

• Concrete compressive strength should be at least 20 MPa

• Brick compressive strength should be at least 3.5 N/mm²

• Aggregate specific gravity should b

Q2. What is cement, its composition and role of its constituents ? Describe briefly.
Ans. 
Cement is a binding material used in construction. It is composed of limestone, clay, gypsum, and other additives. Its constituents play different roles in the hardening process.
• Cement is made up of four main constituents: limestone, clay, gypsum, and other additives.

• Limestone provides calcium oxide (lime) and contributes to the strength and hardness of cement.

• Clay provides silica, alumina, and iron oxide, which help i...read more

Q3. Describe how will you design a foundation ? Add all the procedures and all the tests that are pre requistic for construction ?
Ans. 
Designing a foundation involves several procedures and tests to ensure its stability and durability.
• Conduct a site investigation to assess soil conditions and determine the type of foundation suitable for the structure.

• Perform geotechnical tests such as soil borings, standard penetration tests, and plate load tests to gather data on soil properties.

• Analyze the soil data to determine the bearing capacity, settlement cha...read more

Q1. Mix grade of concrete
Ans. 
Mix grade of concrete refers to the ratio of cement, sand, and aggregate used in a concrete mix.
• Mix grade of concrete is denoted by the ratio of cement:sand:aggregate.

• For example, M20 grade concrete has a mix ratio of 1:1.5:3 (cement:sand:aggregate).

• Different mix grades are used for different types of construction projects.

• The mix grade determines the strength and durability of the concrete.

Basic civil and aptitude questions.

Q1. What do you know about Abrasion test?
Ans. 
Abrasion test is a method to measure the resistance of a material to wear and abrasion.
• Abrasion test is commonly used in the construction industry to evaluate the durability of materials such as concrete, asphalt, and aggregates.

• The test involves subjecting the material to abrasive forces, often using a machine like Los Angeles Abrasion Machine.

• The results of the test are typically reported as a percentage loss in weig...read more
