Industrial Attachment

II
Presentation
This presentation details my industrial attachment
experience at Alphonse NIZEYIMANA Supply Services
(ANSS) Ltd. This training is a mandatory component
of my civil engineering curriculum, provided me with
valuable practical insights into the field.

By KAYUMBA Aimee Liliane


I. Introduction
Construction of G+2 classroom
blocks
My industrial attachment focused on the
construction of a two-story building, having
two ramps and five stair cases, having
bathrooms at each level of each block. This
project provided me with a comprehensive
understanding of various construction
processes and techniques.
Company overview
Alphonse NIZEYIMANA Supply Services ltd (ANSS Ltd) this is a
company that focuses on Architectural and engineering activities
and related technical consultancy.
This company is in charge of executing the project at INES-
Ruhengeri of constructing addition blocks of classrooms.
Objectives of Industrial attachment
1 Practical Application
Industrial training bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and
real-world application, allowing students to gain hands-on experience
in their chosen field.

2 Skill Development
The training provides an opportunity to develop technical and
practical skills, enhancing students' ability to perform tasks effectively
and efficiently.

3 Industry Exposure
Exposure to the industry allows students to understand the
complexities of real-world projects, the challenges faced by
professionals, and the importance of teamwork and collaboration.

4 Career Preparation
The training serves as a valuable stepping stone for students seeking
careers in their respective fields, providing them with the necessary
skills and experience to succeed.
II. Tasks, skills and
knowledge gained
during industrial
attachment
1. Interpretation of engineering
drawings

This is a crucial skill for engineers and other


professionals involved in the design, construction, and
manufacturing of products. Engineering drawings
convey detailed information about the geometry,
dimensions, materials, and other specifications of a
component, structure, or system.
2. Formwork
Formwork is the structure, usually temporary, used to contain poured concrete and
mould it into the desired size and shape and support it until it is able to support itself
weight.

2.1. Major objectives considered in formwork erection


• Quality: Forms must be designed and built with sufficient stiffness and
accuracy so that the size, shape, position and finish of cast concrete are
maintained.
• Safety: Forms must be built with sufficient strength and safety factor so that
they have the capacity to support applied loads
• Economy: Forms must be built in such way they minimize the time and the
cost.
3. Steel bar works

Steel reinforcement bars or rebars are used to improve the tensile strength of the concrete, since
concrete is very weak in tension, but is strong in compression.

3.1. Overlapping 3.2. Chair bar 3.3. Stirrups


Normally, steel bars have This is a reinforced bar This is a closed loop of
12m length. If the length used in slabs to maintain reinforcement bar. Its main
of a bar is not enough to space between the top and purpose is to hold the
keep the reinforcement, bottom reinforcement reinforcement bars
we have to lap two steel bars, and to support and together, provide lateral
bars. cover the top support to prevent
reinforcement steel. buckling and resist shear

failure
3.4. Basic calculations of steel
1. Longitudinal barsbars
cutting length calculations

Here are some assumptions made in longitudinal bars calculations:


 Lap length = 40d
 Hook length = 1/2 Thickness of a member
 Development length (Ld) = 50d

In column:
Cutting length =
In beam or slab:
Cutting length =
2. Stirrups cutting length calculation
Here are some assumptions made in stirrups calculations:
 Hook length = 10d or (Use 50 or 75 mm)
 45° bend = 1d
 90° bend = 2d
 135° bend = 3d; Where d is the diameter of bar.

Cutting Length of Rectangular & Square Stirrups:

Here A and B are the actual size of the member.

Theoretically:

On site: Cutting length of stirrup = 2(a+b) + 1hook

Cutting Length of Circular Stirrups:

D is the diameter of a column.


Diameter of the ring(d) =
Circumference of ring = ;
Cutting length =
4. Concrete
Concrete is a versatile and widely used construction material composed of a mixture
of cement, water, aggregates (such as sand, gravel, or crushed stone), and sometimes
admixtures.

4.1. Ingredients of Concrete


1. Cement.
This is the main binder material used to bind other concrete materials together.
2. Fine aggregates.
Fine aggregate such as sand used to fill in the spaces left between the large coarse
aggregate and to “lock” the larger pieces together.
3. Coarse aggregates.
These contribute to the overall strength of the concrete by increasing density.
4. Water.
This when mixed with cement, forms a paste that binds the aggregate together. It
contributes to the hardening of concrete through hydration. The strength of concrete
extensively depends on water cement ratio.
5. Admixture.
These are optional additives that can be incorporated into the concrete mix to
enhance or modify its properties.
4.2. Concrete cover block
Concrete cover blocks are tiny pieces of concrete that are used in construction to maintain a
specific distance between the concrete's surface and the reinforcing bars.

Its purpose is to protect the steel bars in concrete from damage caused by a variety including:
 Corrosion: It protects the steel from  Water penetration: Concrete cover
corrosion caused by chlorides and other protects the steel from water penetration.
aggressive solutions.  Chemical attacks: It protects the steel from
 Fire: It protects the steel from reaching chemical attacks.
high temperatures too quickly during a
fire.
4.3. Casting and Testing of concrete cubes

1. Casting of concrete cubes.


Steps to be followed for casting of a concrete cube:
 Clean the surfaces of the mould and apply grease on all the moulds for
lubrication.
 Fill the concrete in each mould in three layers.
 After each layer do proper compaction by applying 35 strokes using a
tamping rod.
 After 3rd layer compaction, Finish the top surface using a flat trowel.
 Leave the specimen for 24 hours, undisturbed.
 After 24 hours, remove the specimen from mould.
 Next very important step is to mark each specimen, write the date of
casting and give the specimen number.

2. Testing of concrete cubes
Steps for testing of a concrete cube:
 After given days take out the 3 specimens from the
tank and let them dry.
 Note down the date of casting and the specimen
number for a proper data management.
 Place the concrete cube in the Universal Testing
Machine (UTM).
 Start applying the load, from the UTM till the
specimen fails.
 Record the maximum load and the compressive
strength from the UTM.
 Follow the same steps for all the three specimen and
the total compressive strength will be the average
strength.
This set of steps is applicable after all days(7, 14 and 28
days) to calculate the concrete strength and check
whether the mix ratio is giving you the desired
Challenges faced during IAT
I faced some challenges during my industrial attachment, including language barriers
and time constraints.

Language Barriers
I encountered difficulties understanding French and Kinyarwanda terms used on site.

Time Constraints
The attachment period was not long enough to cover all aspects of civil engineering.
Conclusion and
Recommendations
My industrial attachment was a positive experience
that provided me with valuable practical knowledge
and skills.
1 Expand Industrial Programs
Professional internship programs should be
available to students in forth year.

2 Increase Attachment Duration


The attachment period should be extended.

3 Provide Financial Support


Financial assistance should be provided to
students for fieldwork expenses.
