I was interviewed before Aug 2016.
Yes, soil testing is a crucial process in civil engineering to assess the properties and suitability of soil for construction projects.
Soil testing helps determine the soil's composition, strength, and stability.
It involves collecting soil samples and conducting various tests, such as moisture content, compaction, permeability, and shear strength.
The results of soil testing guide engineers in designing foundations, ear...
Aggregate grading is the process of determining the particle size distribution of aggregates used in construction.
Aggregate grading is done by performing a sieve analysis.
The aggregates are passed through a series of sieves with different mesh sizes.
The retained amount on each sieve is weighed and expressed as a percentage of the total sample weight.
The grading curve is then plotted using the percentage passing through...
RL stands for Reduced Level and it is a term used in civil engineering to refer to the vertical distance between a point and a reference level.
RL is used to determine the elevation or height of a point in relation to a known reference level.
It is commonly used in surveying and construction to establish the levels of different points on a site.
RL can be determined using various methods such as differential leveling, tri...
There are three types of benchmarks in civil engineering: primary, secondary, and tertiary.
Primary benchmarks are permanent reference points with known elevations.
Secondary benchmarks are temporary points established for a specific project.
Tertiary benchmarks are intermediate points used for leveling between primary and secondary benchmarks.
Examples of primary benchmarks include survey monuments and geodetic control po...
M 20 is a designation for a concrete mix with a compressive strength of 20 megapascals (MPa).
M 20 refers to the grade of concrete used in construction projects.
The number 20 represents the compressive strength of the concrete mix in megapascals.
The value of 20 is determined based on the requirements of the project and the structural design.
Different grades of concrete, such as M 10, M 15, M 25, etc., have different com...

The interior work of the last project done for Reliance Company involved designing and implementing modern and functional office spaces.
Designed open-concept workspaces to promote collaboration among employees
Installed energy-efficient lighting and HVAC systems to reduce operational costs
Used sustainable materials for furniture and finishes to align with company's green initiatives
I applied via Company Website and was interviewed in Sep 2022. There were 2 interview rounds.
Curing is the process of maintaining moisture and temperature conditions for freshly placed concrete to promote its hydration and strength gain.
Curing is essential for the strength and durability of concrete.
It involves keeping the concrete moist and at a proper temperature for a specific period of time.
Curing can be done using various methods such as water curing, membrane curing, and steam curing.
The duration of curi...
The strength of cement depends on its grade and type.
The strength of cement is measured in terms of compressive strength.
The grade of cement determines its strength. Higher the grade, higher the strength.
Type of cement also affects its strength. For example, Portland cement has higher strength than lime cement.
The strength of cement is also influenced by factors such as curing time, temperature, and humidity.
I applied via Campus Placement and was interviewed in May 2022. There were 2 interview rounds.
The block shear strength in the bolt connection shown in fig 28 is dlong.
Block shear strength refers to the maximum load a bolt connection can withstand before failure.
The term 'dlong' likely refers to a specific value or calculation related to the block shear strength.
To determine the block shear strength, factors such as the material properties, bolt size, and connection design must be considered.
Examples of factors ...
The bearing capacity of a bolt is a measure of its ability to withstand loads without failure.
Bearing capacity is influenced by factors such as bolt diameter, material strength, and surface conditions.
The bearing capacity can be calculated using various formulas, such as the Euler's formula or the Goodman's formula.
For example, the bearing capacity of a bolt can be determined using the formula: P = A * σ * F
Where P is ...
The size of a rivet is determined by its intended use and the structural requirements of the application.
The size of a rivet is determined by the load it needs to bear.
The size of a rivet is also influenced by the thickness and material of the materials being joined.
Factors such as shear strength, tensile strength, and grip range are considered when determining the size of a rivet.
For example, in heavy structural appli...
