INTRODUCTION TO QA/ QC (Civil Engg) Course

SECTION I

BASIC INTRODUCTION

GENERAL BACKGROUND:

  • What is a construction project? – time (master schedule) – cost (huge budget) – quality (drawings & technical specifications – hse (safety) requirements.
  • Client – consultant –contractor relationship – 4 m’s of construction – quality manpower, quality machinery, quality materials & quality method statements.

SECTION 2 

TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY:

• Definition of quality
• What is quality assurance – quality control?
• What is total quality management system?

Section 5

Sequence of construction activities

Codes of practice

Field inspections as per itp

  • Soil investigation methods – trial pits, standard penetration test, borings & geophysical methods.
  • Parameters–for engineering & design – preliminary approvals
  • 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.
