Q.1 What the steps involved in Building Construction?

Ans: There are different steps involved in Building construction like,

1. Concreting
2. Masonry work
3. Plastering work
4. Flooring work
5. Formwork
6. Steel cutting and Bending

Q.2 How do you measure the volume of concrete?

Ans: The volume of concrete is calculated by Multiplying its Length, Width, and Thickness together. For Example – 1m x1m x1m = 1 m³ of the volume of concrete.

Q.3 Why Concrete Cover is provided to reinforcement?

Ans: Concrete cover for reinforcement is required to protect the rebar against corrosion and to provide resistance against fire.

Q.4 How to do check level on construction site?

Ans: I will check the level on the construction site by Spirit level, Dumpy Level, and Leveling Pipe.

Q.5 What is the accuracy of the dumpy level or minimum reading we can take?

Ans: With the help of a dumpy level we can take up 5mm accurate reading or minimum reading.

Q.6 How do you calculate the weight of 12m long and 10mm dia. Steel on-site?

Ans: its simple,

By multiplying the length of steel bar with its unit weight

(unit wt of 10mm = 0.60 kg/m)

Weight of steel = 0.60x 12

      = 7.2 kg

Q.7 Which is the equation used for calculating the unit weight of the steel bar?

Ans: (D²/162)

Q.8 What is the size of a concrete cube?

Ans: 15 cm x 15 cm x 15 cm

Q.9 What do you do if any concrete cube fails in 28 days compressive strength test?

Ans: If the concrete cube fails in strength test, I will conduct a core cutter test on concrete and send a report to higher authorities.
