Important Points SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) During the Inspection of RCC NP4 Pipes: -    Image-Hydro Test (Photo Credit: Ritesh Raj) (1.) Firstly, approved QAP will be checked.  (2.) ID marks should be marked on the inner and outer sides of pipes.  Image-ID Mark (Photo Credit: Ritesh Raj)  (3.) To check the inner and outer diameter of pipes.   (4.) Smooth finishing and before dispatch of RCC pipes cement slurry or grouting where required.   (5.) Load test is required for RCC pipes as per IS codes. It is different for each dia, of RCC pipes.  Image-Plate Load Test (Photo Credit: Ritesh Raj)   (6.) Concrete mix design checked and in which cement content, cement brand, and water-cement ratio should be checked.  (7.) The straightness test to be checked of RCC pipes through the straightness rods to collinear visible.   (8.) As per requirement 2% of hydro tests are to be checked as IS:458 of the total ordered quantity.  Image-Hydro Test (Pressure Release) (Photo Credit: Ritesh Raj)  

Important terms on the basis of IS Codes

In this article,I am presenting few important most important questions with their answers, taken from various IS codes.These questions could be of your great help for your interview and general awareness about civil engineering. Please go through it.I hope it will expand your knowledge. (1.) For most work, 20 mm aggregate is suitable. (2.) The plumb shall be distributed evenly and shall be not closer than 150 mm from the surface. (3.) In concreting, the PH value of water shall be not less than 6. Image Source:Pexels.com (4.) The modulus of elasticity of steel shall be taken as 200 KN/mm 2 (5.) The characteristic strength is defined as the strength of material below which not more than 5% of the test results are expected to fail.

It indicates the more water cement ratio and fine particles. (2.) Curing :- Curing is done to supply of necessary water required for hydration and stop or prevent the loss of moisture from the surface of the concrete. Image Source:Gharpedia.com Steam under pressure curing helps to gain the early strength of the concrete but does not provide the increase in compressive strength neither reduces the shear strength of the concrete. (3.) Rebound hammer(Schmidt hammer) test gives only approximate estimation of strength of the concrete specimen.
