INTERNSHIP IN THE CUBE CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING LTD.
ABSTRACT
The internship report in which try to explain my 7 weeks experience in the

“INTERNSHIP IN THE CUBE CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING LTD”.
The most important outcome of this internship is the improvement in my professional

behavior and the understanding.
The internship bridges between theory and practice provides students with practical,
field-based, real world experiences during their years of study. During this training
period, the students learn how to relate our theoretical knowledge with practical
fields. What are the difficulties faced by an engineer? How to manage everything &
what are the difficulties faced by an engineer.
The internship is to develop independent and creative thinking fundamental

theoretical knowledge.
This time period discusses the skill gained and experienced gathered during this 7
weeks training.

Construction Company having its head office at; Vadodara, Gujarat – India,
focusing on infrastructure construction segment including Industrial, Commercial,
Residential, Institutional, NGO / Government Construction, Infrastructure
Projects, Architectural Design etc.
FIGURE 1.1: Company Logo
The Company has vision to provide the customers innovative architecture in

affordable prices with international quality; Mr. Sanjay C. Shah heads the
company as Chairman and Managing Director with other Directors. CCEL has
established its capabilities in executing complex and challenging projects in all

3.0 LITERATURE REVIEW
3.1 EXCAVATION
Excavation is the process of moving earth, rock or other materials with tools,
equipment or explosives. It also includes trenching, wall shafts, tunnelling and
underground. It is the preliminary activity of the construction project.
Quality Checks for Excavation:
1. Recording initial ground level and check size of bottom.

2. Disposal of unsuitable material for filling.
3. Stacking suitable material for backfilling to avoid double handling.
4. Strata classification approval by competent authority.
5. Dressing bottom and sides of pits as per drawing with respect to
centerline.
6. Necessary safety measures observed.
FIGURE 3.1: Excavation Work
At my site, Excavation depth for P.M. Room 3m. and Hospital building 8m.
3.2 RUBBLE SOLING
Rubble soling is the procedure of laying hard stones of required specifications

adjacent to one another, with minimal voids in between them. The gaps are filled
with stone chips or moorum to firmly pack the soling as required.

Why we provide rubble soling in the construction works:
a) To provide a hard & firm base or sub-base for the upper structural layers.
b) To increase the bearing capacity of the soil or strata.
c) To provide a leveled base above the undulated strata for PCC or any such
works.
FIGURE 3.2: Rubble Soling
3.3 P.C.C. WORK
Plain cement concrete is the mixture of cement, fine aggregate (sand) and coarse
aggregate without steel. PCC is an important component of a building which is
laid on the soil surface to avoid direct contact of reinforcement of concrete with
soil and water.
Materials used in Plain Cement Concrete are Cement, Coarse Aggregate, and
Fine Sand & Water.

FIGURE 3.3: P.C.C. Work
At my site, used P.C.C. grade M15(1:2:4).
3.4 KOTA STONE
Kota Stone is a naturally available, fine-grained variety of limestone originated

from Kota, Rajasthan. Its alluring natural look, durability and low cost makes it the
most extensively used material in both the interiors and exteriors of houses and
commercial areas. Kota is well known for its shiny appearance and charming
colours, and ages beautifully over time. It is available in different shapes and
sizes and can easily blend with any home decor. In fact, the material is quite an
asset in the construction industry in terms of the unique characteristics it
possesses.
FIGURE 3.4: Kota Stone
At my site, used the 25mm thick kota stone having the size of 600×600mm kota
with the water-proofing agent in the slury
3.5 RAFT FOUNDATION
A raft foundation is a reinforced concrete slab under the whole of a building or

extension, 'floating' on the ground as a raft floats on water. This type of
foundation spreads the load of the building over a larger area than other
foundations, lowering the pressure on the ground.

Raft foundation is generally used to support structures like residential or

commercial buildings where soil condition is poor, storage tanks, silos,
foundations for heavy industrial equipment etc.
Raft thickness 850mm.
FIGURE 3.5: Raft Foundation
3.6 CASE STUDIES:
3.6.1 DEEP EXCAVATION IN AN URBAN AREA:
Mohammad Sharif Rajabi Geotechnical Engineer, University of Tehran Tehran-

Iran)
Farzin Kalantary (Assistant Professor, K.N.Toosi University of Technology
Tehran-Iran)
Soil nailing or anchoring system is a good method for stabilizing excavation

especially when blend with soldier pile system. In this project usage of this
stabilizing system improved excavation resistance for failing. Wall movements
were less than the limiting values set for the projects at all monitoring points, and
the wall movements were acceptable. This limitation of movement is contributed
to favourable soil conditions over most of the site, high quality construction, and
the exceptional quality control and quality assurance measures instituted by the
field engineers.

The wall had been designed for 19m depth at first. But after reaching to -19.00
meter depth, the landlord decided to increase the depth of excavation up to -
20.00 meter. By the use of nailing and anchoring method and because of such a
flexible method, it was possible to extend the excavation.
3.6.2 HISTORY OF RAFT FOUNDATION BEHAVIOR FOR A LARGE-

SCALED BUILDING COMPLEX:
M.Aoki and M. Maruoka (Research Engineers, Takenaka Corporation, Technical

Research Laboratory, Tokyo, Japan):
This case study describes the field observation of settlement of a raft foundation
for a large-scale building complex in Nagoya city in Japan. The complex consists
of a 28 story hotel, a 15 story office building and a low-storied banquet hall in the
middle all of which are supported on a single 80 m square basement on raft
foundation. Since the load on the foundation is non-uniform, the differential
settlement of the foundation was investigated analytically, taking into
consideration the interaction between the ground and the raft. To confirm the
validity of the design, measurements were conducted for about 2 years during the
building construction. The maximum ground heave caused by the excavation was
42 mm and the maximum settlement caused by the building construction was 28
mm. The changes in the elastic modulus of the ground agree well with a
decrease ratio which in turn is evaluated based on a decrease of the mean
principal stress caused by excavation and a decrease of ground rigidity caused
by shear strain. The measured distribution of the displacement and stress are in
relatively good agreement with the results of an analysis which incorporates the
interaction of the building frame and the soil.

4.0 METHODOLOGY

5.0 SUMMARY
The internship is a bridge between the theoretical knowledge and the practical or
the reality work at the field of construction or civil engineering work.
During my internship program I have lot of knowledge in terms of improving my

practical skill. I have undertaking during this past seven weeks on the site
enhanced my knowledge in building construction. I am very glad to see that what
I have learnt in the college can be repeated in the working world. I was able to
apply my theoretical knowledge of designing and construction works in the real
life situation.
I was able to acquire a high level of confidence to deal with problems that arise in
a building construction.
