I appeared for an interview in May 2025, where I was asked the following questions.

  • Q1. What is M 20 ratio. And why should use this
  • Ans. 

    M20 is a concrete mix ratio of 1:1.5:3, used for medium-strength construction applications.

    • M20 concrete mix consists of 1 part cement, 1.5 parts sand, and 3 parts aggregate.

    • It provides a compressive strength of 20 MPa (Megapascals) at 28 days.

    • Commonly used for residential buildings, pavements, and precast structures.

    • M20 is suitable for structures that require moderate strength and durability.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. What is rate analysis
  • Ans. 

    Rate analysis is the process of evaluating costs and resources for construction projects to ensure accurate budgeting and planning.

    • Involves calculating the cost of materials, labor, and overhead for a project.

    • Example: Estimating the cost of concrete per cubic meter for a building foundation.

    • Helps in determining the overall project budget and timeline.

    • Used to compare different construction methods or materials for cost-...

  • Q3. What are the grades in cement
  • Ans. 

    Cement grades indicate the strength and quality of cement, classified mainly by their compressive strength in MPa.

    • Grade 33: Suitable for low-strength structures, with a compressive strength of 33 MPa.

    • Grade 43: Commonly used for medium-strength structures, with a compressive strength of 43 MPa.

    • Grade 53: Ideal for high-strength structures, with a compressive strength of 53 MPa.

    Mix design refers to the process of determining the appropriate proportions of materials in concrete to achieve desired strength and durability.

    • Mix design involves selecting the right type of cement, aggregates, water, and additives.

    • Common methods include the ACI method, the British method, and the DOE method.

    • For example, a typical mix design for structural concrete might be 1:2:4 (cement:sand:aggregate).
