- Fieldwork inspections & checklists – marking, excavation, anti-termite, polythene sheet, pcc / screed, waterproofing, rcc in foundations, columns, slabs, brickworks, plaster , paint, woodworks, etc.,
- QA/QC – gallery of construction works.
Section 6
Practical laboratory testing’s on construction materials & equipment used as per itp
Video sessions
Codes of practice:
- Tests on soils: standard proctor compaction test, determination of fdt – sand replacement & nuclear gauge methods, moisture content, specific gravity, particle size analysis, soil classification, atterbergh limits – liquid limit & plastic limit, cbr test, unconfined compressive test, plate load test, etc.,
- Tests on concrete– mix designs, temperature, time of pour, slump, compressive strength, bonding agents, ndt tests – rebound hammer, ultrasonic pulse velocity & core cutting methods, pre-stressing, etc.,
- Tests on cement: fineness tests, soundness tests, initial & final setting times, consistency tests, cement mortar cube testing, etc.,
- Tests on steel: length, dia, weight, ultimate tensile strength, epoxy steel, sand blasting & pull-out tests.
- Tests on sand (fine aggregate): determination of silt content, bulking, sieve analysis, specific gravity & water absorption, bulk density & % voids, etc.
- Tests on coarse aggregate: crushing test, los angeles abrasion test, impact value, soundness test, shape test & elongation index, specific gravity & water absorption test, particle size analysis, bitumen adhesion test, etc.,
- Tests on asphalt: bitumen penetration test, softening point test, ductility of bitumen, tests
- Solved examples & exercises – classwork.
