Interview Questions and Answers

In STAAD, I have experience in performing structural analysis and design. For reinforcement calculations, I use the design codes and specifications to determine the required reinforcement quantities.

• Performed structural analysis and design using STAAD software

• Utilized design codes and specifications to determine required reinforcement quantities

• Considered factors such as material properties, loading conditions, and safety factors

• Checked and verified the reinforcement calculat...read more

Bending moment is a measure of the bending effect on a beam, shear force is the force perpendicular to the beam's axis, and buckling is a sudden failure due to compression.

• Bending moment is the algebraic sum of moments about the neutral axis of a section subjected to external loads.

• Shear force is the force perpendicular to the beam's longitudinal axis, causing it to shear or slide.

• Buckling is a sudden failure mode in which a structural member fails due to compressive stress e...read more

Types of shear failure include ductile shear failure, brittle shear failure, and sliding shear failure.

• Ductile shear failure occurs in materials that can undergo significant plastic deformation before failure.

• Brittle shear failure occurs in materials that fail without significant plastic deformation.

• Sliding shear failure occurs along a plane of weakness, such as a fault line in rock formations.

Types of settlement in soil include immediate settlement, primary consolidation settlement, secondary consolidation settlement, and creep settlement.

• Immediate settlement occurs immediately after a load is applied to the soil.

• Primary consolidation settlement happens due to the expulsion of water from the soil voids under load.

• Secondary consolidation settlement is a slow process caused by the rearrangement of soil particles.

• Creep settlement is a long-term settlement due to cont...read more

OOPs stands for Object-Oriented Programming. Projects refer to practical applications of OOPs concepts.

• OOPs is a programming paradigm that focuses on objects and their interactions.

• It allows for the creation of reusable code and promotes modular design.

• Projects in OOPs involve implementing real-world scenarios using classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, etc.

• For example, a project could be developing a banking system where different classes represent customers, accounts...read more

Unit operation involves physical changes while unit process involves chemical changes in a chemical engineering context.

• Unit operation involves physical changes like separation, filtration, etc.

• Unit process involves chemical changes like reactions, synthesis, etc.

• Unit operation is a single step in a process while unit process involves multiple steps.

• Examples of unit operations include distillation, crystallization, etc.

• Examples of unit processes include oxidation, hydrolysis,...read more
