Role of Construction Site Engineer depends on the type of work involved and experience of site engineer in a construction project. The duties and responsibilities of a construction site engineer are typically as follows, many of these will be delegated to other engineers on the site according to their experience and ability:  Setting out the works in accordance with the drawings and specification Liaising with the project planning engineer regarding construction programmes Checking materials and work in progress for compliance with the specified requirements Observance of safety requirements Resolving technical issues with employer’s representatives, suppliers, subcontractors and statutory authorities Quality control in accordance with CSIs/procedures method statements, quality plans and inspection and test plans, all prepared by the project management team and by subcontractors Liaising with company or project purchasing department to ensure that purchase orders ad...

OPC = Ordinary Portland Cement PPC : Pozzolonic Portland cement (FYI : PPC is environment friendly as it consists fly ash in some specific percentages by parts, which is a waste product of burnt coal, usually collected from thermal power plants) OPC (m53) attains strength in a shorter time, while PPC (m43) takes longer. OPC therefore dries more quickly, but produces more heat during chemical reaction during which it gains strength, as compared to PPC Faster is the drying process, more is the risk of cracking of cement, and therefore it need more care and more amount of water for curing in a lesser time. PPC on the other hand can attain strength equal to OPC, but takes a longer time. For a building slab, PPC is more widely used since it requires less care. The strength depends on design mix (the water cement and aggregate ratio) more than type of cement. so essentially, If you need construction to take place faster and have means for good curing, you may use OPC. But if y...

Civil Engineering as Career We need a career( of course, a better one) to maintain our daily needs. As the world becoming complex ever than before we need to choose a career that is much more needed by the society. Civil Engineering is such a profession by which you can maintain your living status as well as you can serve your society too. The 5 reasons why you should study Civil Engineering and why you should take it as your career are mentioned below. # Payment is Higher Of course, we do work for our society. But working only for society does not mean you should not have a well maintained family.All of us need money to maintain our daily life and that is what Civil Engineering pay for. Payment for a Civil Engineer are often higher than others general profession. As a technical person you can earn approximately $60000 to $150000 yearly if you build your career as a Civil Engineer.With the roll of the years your salary will obviously increase depending on your type of job and...

The following steps are followed in residential project construction; Construction of residential building required following paper work before the start of actual construction:- ✅ 1.Preparation of drawings as per requirements of consumers. ✅ 2.Estimation of material cost, labor cost & contingencies. ✅ 3.Approval of drawings & estimates from Client. ✅ 4.Approval of drawings from City Development Authority. It is most important because residential building drawings should meet the authority defined rules. ✅ 5.Start of construction work either through contractor or labor hired on daily basis. ✅ 6.Marking of plot boundaries. ✅ 7.Cleaning of plot. ✅ 8.Preparation of site layout as per drawing. After the completion of documentation work, the actual construction on plot begins. Following are the steps; 👉 EARTH WORK Generally excavation is carried out for the construction of wall foundations. Excavation should be carried out as per the drawings defined lengths &...

Civil engineering is one of the oldest branches of engineering that deals with the design, construction and maintenance of buildings, roads, bridges, artificial waterways, dams etc. Civil engineers have shown their expertise from time immemorial. From the Roman Pantheon to Hong Kong international airport, civil engineers have excelled in every step. Interview questions for civil engineers include strength of materials, material science, energy engineering, environmental engineering and earthquake engineering. *.Define Modulus of Elasticity? Modulus of Elasticity, also know as elastic modulus is the elastic deformation tendency of a material. In the stress strain curve the slope is the elastic modulus. *.What is the chemical composition of cement? Cement primarily consists of CaO. The chemical composition of Portland cement is tricalcium silicate, dicalcium silicate, tricalcium aluminate and tetracalcium aluminoferrite. *.What is tensile strength? It is the maximum longitudina...

✅ Let us consider the nominal mix is 1:2:4 Wastage of cement during handling is considered as 2% Output of mix is considered as 67% To achieve 1 cum output, we need drymix 1/0.67 = 1.49 say 1.50 cum. Now add the wastage of 2%, i.e (1.50 + 0.02) = 1.52 cum. Volume of cement = (cement/cement+sand+aggregate) × Total material =(1/1+1+4) × 1.52 =0.2171 cum Now, Density of cement is 1440 kg/cum Weight of 1 bag cement = 50 kg. Therefore volume of 1 bag cement = 50/1440 =0.0347 cum. ∴No. of cement bags required in 1 cubic meter= 0.2171/0.0347 = 6.25 bags. 🔗 Note: Same formula can be used for calculating cement for other nominal mixes also.
