Engineer Trainee Apprentice Interview Questions and Answers

Grade of concrete refers to its strength and slump of concrete refers to its consistency.

• Grade of concrete is determined by its compressive strength, such as M20, M25, etc.

• Slump of concrete is a measure of its workability and is determined by the flow of concrete when placed in a slump cone.

• Higher grade of concrete indicates higher strength and lower slump indicates less workable concrete.

• For example, M30 grade concrete has a higher strength than M20 grade concrete, and a slu...read more

Properties and tests for building materials

• Properties: strength, durability, thermal conductivity, fire resistance, water absorption, etc.

• Tests: compression test, tensile test, flexural test, water absorption test, fire resistance test, etc.

• Examples: concrete, steel, wood, brick, glass, etc.

Short term goals are achievable within a few months to a year, while long term goals take several years to accomplish.

• Short term goals focus on immediate tasks or objectives

• Long term goals involve planning for the future and achieving larger milestones

• Short term goals can serve as stepping stones towards long term goals

• Example: Short term goal - Complete a certification course within 6 months

• Example: Long term goal - Become a senior engineer in 5 years
