Sobha Assistant Engineer - Civil Interview Questions and Answers

Q1. How to check concrete slump
Ans. 
Concrete slump can be checked using a slump cone and measuring the difference in height before and after filling with concrete.
• Prepare the slump cone by wetting it and placing it on a flat, level surface.

• Fill the cone with concrete in three layers, each tamped with a rod 25 times.

• Lift the cone vertically and measure the difference in height between the top of the cone and the displaced concrete.

• The slump value is the d...read more

Q2. How to check concrete cube
Ans. 
To check concrete cube, perform a compression test to determine the strength of the concrete.
• Perform a compression test on the concrete cube using a compression testing machine.

• Calculate the compressive strength of the concrete cube by dividing the maximum load applied to the cube by the cross-sectional area of the cube.

• Compare the compressive strength of the concrete cube with the specified strength in the design mix ...read more

Q2. Laminar flow in fluid
Ans. 
Laminar flow is a type of fluid flow where the fluid moves in parallel layers with minimal mixing between the layers.
• Laminar flow occurs at low Reynolds numbers.

• The flow is smooth and predictable, with little to no turbulence.

• It is characterized by a constant velocity profile across the flow.

• Examples include flow in small pipes, blood flow in capillaries, and flow in a viscous liquid.

Q3. Turbulent flow in fluid
Ans. 
Turbulent flow in fluid is characterized by chaotic and unpredictable movement of particles.
• Turbulent flow occurs when the fluid velocity exceeds a certain threshold, causing eddies and vortices.

• It is characterized by irregular fluctuations in velocity and pressure within the fluid.

• Turbulent flow is common in natural phenomena like rivers, oceans, and atmospheric air currents.

• It is important to consider turbulent flow ...read more
