Structural/ Civil Design Job Interview Questions

Interview Questions

  1. "P"kN is load applied on Concrete cube of 15cm x 15cm x 15cm at failure. "Q"kN is load applied on Concrete Cylinder of 15cm Diameter and 30cm height. Provide relationship between P and Q
  2. Why two point loads are applied in Flexural Strength Test of Concrete beam test instead of single point load at mid span?
  3. Why concrete code specify upper limit on shear strength of concrete?
  4. Two simply supported beam having span of 6m and 12m having same maximum working design moment of 100kNm at mid span.Both beam will require same steel section or different? explain
  5. Explain design of Steel Connections
  6. Compute Design moment for 8.5m simply supported crane girder. It carries two wheels spaced at 1.5m c/c. Load from each wheel is 5t. 
  7. Explain the procedure of selection of Steel Grade ( Strength and Ductility) for the project
  8. Explain the behaviour of closed section and open sections under action of torsion.
  9. Describe different type of foundations ( Both Shallow and Deep) with advantages and limitations
  10. Describe seismic load calculation procedure
  11. Describe factors affecting durability of concrete
  12. Compute structural working load capacity of 75cm, C40 Grade circular pile with 2% reinformcement
  13. Design Pile Layout to Transfer Load of 1000t and uni-axial 500tm ( any direction) . Safe working capacity of pile is 100t and spacing 1.8m c/c. No of piles required
