if you are preparing for a civil engineering job interview here are some question which might be asked to you in the interview.
1.What is clear cover?
Clear cover is the distance from outer
surface of the stirrup/tie/slab reinforcement to the outer face of the
concrete.
2.How Many samples of soil are
required for core cutter test?
3 samples per 100 sqm are
taken
3.What is weight & volume of a
cement bag?
Its weight is 50 kg and volume is
0.03477m^3.
4.What does Fe, 415 & d stands
for in Fe415D ?
Fe stands for iron
415 stands for its tensile strength
D stands of ductility.
5.What is the weight of concrete cube
used in strength test?
The weight of concrete cube is 8.1 kg.
6.What is the density of PCC, RCC, and
cement?
The density of PCC is 2400 Kg/m^3
The density of rcc is
2500 Kg/M^3
The density of cement is 1440 Kg/m^3
7.What is compressive strength of a
brick?
the compressive strength is 3.5N/mm^2
8.what is tensile strength?
Tensile strength is the maximum tensile
load a body can resist before failure.
9.What we call the circular and parallel
lines on a rebar?
The circular and parallel lines on a
rebar are known as rebar. The circular lines are transverse ribs and longitudnal lines are parallel ribs.

10.Why ribs are provided on steel bar?
The ribs are provided on the steel bar to
create a good bonding between
concrete and bar.
11.is the difference between shuttering
and centring?
Formwork which supports vertical surface
is known as shuttering and formwork which supports horizontal surface is known
as centring.
12.Why slump test is done on concrete?
Slump test to determine the workability
of the concrete.
13.What is the
volume of trapezoidal footing.
Volume = H/3{A1 +A2 + √(A1+A2)}
14.You have to build a beam 250*250 mm using
4-12 mm bar. But, you don’t have 12 mm bars on your site instead 8 mm bars are available.
so, what you will do?
ans will be available In the next part of interview
question………….stay tuned.
