The ratio for ceiling plaster is typically 1:4 or 1:5.
The ratio refers to the proportion of cement to sand used in the plaster mixture.
A common ratio for ceiling plaster is 1 part cement to 4 parts sand.
Another common ratio is 1 part cement to 5 parts sand.
The specific ratio may vary depending on the project requirements and local building codes.
The proportion of M30 grade concrete is 1:1:2 (cement:sand:aggregate).
M30 grade concrete has a proportion of 1 part cement, 1 part sand, and 2 parts aggregate.
This means that for every 1 unit of cement, 1 unit of sand, and 2 units of aggregate are used.
For example, if you have 1 bag of cement (50 kg), you would need 50 kg of sand and 100 kg of aggregate.
Cutting length of steel is the length of steel bars required for construction purposes.
Cutting length of steel refers to the length of steel bars needed for construction projects.
It is calculated by subtracting the development length and lap length from the total length of the bar.
The cutting length is important for determining the quantity of steel required and for cost estimation.
For example, if a steel bar needs to ...
The number of holes per inch square in chicken mesh for external plaster varies depending on the specific requirements of the project.
The number of holes per inch square in chicken mesh for external plaster is determined by factors such as the type of plaster being used, the desired level of ventilation, and the size of the mesh.
In general, a common range for the number of holes per inch square in chicken mesh for exte...

I was interviewed in Dec 2024.
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...
I applied via Walk-in and was interviewed in May 2024. There were 3 interview rounds.
The number of concrete blocks required for 100sft depends on the size of the blocks and the thickness of the wall being built.
The number of concrete blocks needed can be calculated by dividing the total area (100sft) by the area of one block.
The size of the concrete block and the thickness of the wall will determine the number of blocks needed.
For example, if each concrete block is 1ft x 1ft and the wall is 4 inches th
Concrete density is the mass per unit volume of concrete.
Concrete density is typically measured in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m^3).
The density of normal concrete is around 2400 kg/m^3.
Higher density concrete, such as heavyweight concrete, can have densities up to 4000 kg/m^3.
Lightweight concrete, on the other hand, can have densities as low as 1600 kg/m^3.
The thickness for outer and inner walls plastering typically ranges from 12mm to 20mm.
The thickness of plastering for outer walls is usually around 15mm to 20mm.
The thickness of plastering for inner walls is typically around 12mm to 15mm.
The thickness may vary based on the type of wall surface and the desired finish.
It is important to ensure proper curing and finishing for a durable and aesthetically pleasing result.
Various types of formwork have been used in my recently worked companies, including timber formwork, steel formwork, and aluminum formwork.
Timber formwork is commonly used for small to medium-sized projects due to its cost-effectiveness and flexibility.
Steel formwork is preferred for large and complex structures due to its durability and reusability.
Aluminum formwork is lightweight and easy to handle, making it suitabl
The mix proportion of plastering mortar typically consists of 1 part cement to 3-4 parts sand.
The mix proportion of plastering mortar is usually 1:3 or 1:4 (cement:sand)
The mix can also include lime to improve workability and durability
Water is added to achieve the desired consistency for application
Example: A common mix proportion for plastering mortar is 1 part cement, 3 parts sand, and water as needed
The materials required in 1m3 of plastering mortar include cement, sand, and water.
Cement is typically used in the ratio of 1:4 for plastering mortar.
Sand is used in the ratio of 3-4 times the amount of cement used.
Water is added as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
For example, for 1m3 of plastering mortar, you may need 0.25m3 of cement, 1m3 of sand, and water as needed.
Test was based on numerical, reasoning and verbal,Geometry,Profit & loss, Algebra, Simplication, trigonometry,Load calculation,etc
