Chapter 1

1.1 About company….

Larsen & Toubro Limited is the biggest legacy of two Danish Engineers, who built a world-class

organization that is professionally managed and a leader in India's Engineering and construction

industry. It was the business of cement that brought the young Henning Holck-Larsen and S.K.

Toubro into India. They arrived on Indian shores as representatives of the Danish engineering

firm F L Smidth & Co in connection with the merger of cement companies that later grouped

into the Associated Cement Companies.

Together, Holck-Larsen and Toubro founded the partnership firm of L&T in 1938, which was

converted into a limited company on February 7, 1946. Today, this has metamorphosed into one

of India's biggest success stories. The company has grown from humble origins to a large

conglomerate spanning engineering and construction.

Larsen & Toubro Construction is India’s largest construction organization. Many of the country's

prized landmarks - its exquisite buildings, tallest structures, largest industrial projects, longest

flyover, and highest viaducts - have been built by it. Leading-edge capabilities cover every

discipline of construction: civil, mechanical, electrical and instrumentation.

L&T Construction has the resources to execute projects of large magnitude and technological

complexity in any part of the world. The business of L&T Construction is organized in six

business sectors which will primarily be responsible for Technology Development, Business

Development, International Tendering and work as Investment Centers. Headquarters in

Chennai, India. In India, 7 Regional Offices and over 250 project sites. In overseas it has offices

in Gulf and other overseas locations.

- Color, texture, chip up, size, diagonal size, thickness, height, and length of stone should be

checked.

- Sealer coating should be checked by the QA/QC inspector in all six faces

-If stone absorbs water it means that sealer coating is not done properly.

- Alignment of cladded wall should be checked

Figure -38 Quality check of granite

Granite absorbs water, sealer coat not done properly

6.4 Quality control of water proofing:-

QA/QC officer should know about the construction program and should attained all inspection

point and record all result of inspection.

6.5 Some tests performed in the lab of QA/QC

6.5.1 Cube test:-

Size of cube use =15 cm *15cm *15 cm

Grade of cube =M35

Testing of concrete cube:-

The dimensions of the specimens are to the nearest 0.2 mm. The bearing surfaces of the testing

machine shall be wiped clean and any loose sand or other materials removed from the surface of

the specimen which is to be in contact with the compression platens. The cube shall be placed in

the machine in such a manner that the load shall be applied to opposite sides of the cubes as cast

that is not to the top and bottom. The axis of the specimen shall be carefully aligned with the

center of the thrust of the spherically seated platen. No packing shall be used between the faces

of the test specimen and the steel platen of the testing machine. As the spherically seated block is

brought to bear on the specimen, the movable portion shall be rotated gently by hand so that

uniform seating may be obtained. The load shall be applied without shock and increased

continuously at a rate of approximately 140 kg/sq cm/min until the resistance of the specimen to

the increasing load breaks down and no greater load can be sustained. The maximum load

applied to the specimen shall then be recorded and the appearance of the concrete and any

unusual features in the type of failure shall be noted. The compressive strength of concrete shall

be calculated from: Maximum load/Cross-Sectional area of cube

Compressive strength of cube is checked:-

Results: (in N/mm2)

40.67, 38.92, 34.25, 41.73, 29.2,

Maximum target Strength= Average compressive strength+ risk factor* stander deviation

=35+1.65*5= 43.25 N/mm2

Minimum target Strength = Average compressive strength- risk factor* stander deviation

=35-1.65*5 = 26.75 N/mm2

Result:-Any individual test result of a cube out of the above should not have value less than

26.75 N/mm3.

6.5.2 Initial and final setting time of cement

The initial setting time of cement indicates the time after which the cement paste loses its

plasticity. Operations like mixing, placing and compaction should be completed well before the

initial setting time of cement .The minimum initial setting time specified by IS 456 –2000

(Clause 5.4.1.3 page no 14 and IS 8112-1989 page 2) is 30 minute. Most of the cements

produced today give an initial set of more than 60 minutes. Beginning of hardening of cement

paste indicates the final setting of cement. The maximum limit for final setting permitted by IS

8112: 1989 (Clause 6.3. page 2) is 600 minute. Most of the cements produced today give a final

setting of between 3 to 5 hours. Curing can be started after final setting of cement. The initial

setting and the final setting can be extended by use of retarders in order to avoid cold joints when

lead-time for placing concrete is longer.

6.5.3 Brick test:-

Following procedure are followed in the brick test

Size

- Measure the length, breadth and depth of the bricks and using the data calculate average size of

the bricks

Water Absorption

-The specimen is dried in a ventilated oven at a temperature of 105 to 1150C; till it attains

substantially constant mass. The specimen is cooled to room temperature and its weight is

recorded (M1)

-The dried specimen is immersed completely in clean water at a room temperature of 27±20C for

24 hours.

-The specimen is then removed and any traces of water are wiped out with a damp cloth and the

specimen is weighed. The weighing is completed 3min after the specimen has removed from

water (M2)

- Water absorption= (M2-M1)/M1*100

Using above formula calculate average water absorption of bricks.

Chapter 7 :CONCLUSION

It was a wonderful learning experience at L&T Construction B&F IC site of L&T Project for one

month in “Bihar Museum Project” Patna. I gained a lot of insight regarding almost every aspect

of site. I was given exposure in almost all the departments at the site.

During my training period I have mostly focused on structural work, waterproofing, cladding,

and flooring. L&T have one of the best safety methods during the construction and I have

learned a lot about the safety rules of site.

The quality of construction which L&T provides is one of the best in the country, I have learned

about the different QA/QC approach which the company uses in construction.

The friendly welcome from all the employees is appreciating, sharing their experience and giving

their peace of wisdom which they have gained in long journey of work. I am very much thankful

for the wonderful accommodation facility from L&T. I hope this experience will surely help me

in my future and also in shaping my career.
