2 Organized By Indian Concrete Institute (ICI) Students Chapter, VIIT, Pune Tuesday, 10th October, 2017 From 9.00 AM to 8.00 PM At Seminar Hall, E-building, Vishwakarma Institute of Information Technology, Kondhwa Pune Mrs.A.G.Tanawade, ICI Co-ordinator,VIIT INTRODUCTION The Indian Concrete Institute (ICI) Students chapter, Civil Department, Vishwakarma Institute of Information Technology (VIIT), Pune successfully organized and held a One-Day workshop on NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING (NDT) on Tuesday 10 th of October,2017, starting at 9.00 AM to 7.00 PM with participation of total 80 students and 10 teaching staff. The workshop conducted in Seminar hall, E-building, Vishwakarma Institute of Information Technology (VIIT), kondhwa, pune on 10/10/17, was a part of the efforts to improve student s knowledge and employability skills in construction industry. The workshop was taken by Er. Ravi Ranade, Managing Director of Construction Diagnostic Centre.(CDC) Pvt.Ltd, a NDT expertise for structural and quality audit, also structural restoration consultants. Their office located at Erandawane, Pune.He is an expert in Non-destructive testing, backed up by excellently qualified labs and employees. He may strike as a man of Time, due to his strict punctuality. 2

3 BACKGROUND This is a post-event wrap up report on the One-Day workshop on NON- DESTRUCTIVE TESTING (NDT) on Tuesday 10th of October, 2017, organized by Indian Concrete Institute (ICI), Students Chapter, VIIT, Pune. The report consists of executive summary, specific details and other technical details which will give an insight of the workshop and live demo of equipment on site. WORKHOP AGENDA The agenda of this workshop was to develop and advance the employability skills of enthusiastic students and expose them to the retrofitting industry, trends and practices. WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE 1. To understand how to operate the NDT equipments, their working on site, 2. To spread awareness and expose students to retrofitting industry, 3. To develop and embed new skills in students 4. To be prepared to apply their knowledge of NDT in the industry METHODOLOGY 1) Presentation : Theory session will inform students and spark their interests, 2) Experience sharing : This will amaze the students by actual site scenarios, 3) Brainstorming : Clear the doubts and improve overall understanding, 4) Discussions : Deepen the understanding and explain the key concepts, 5) Site Demonstrations: Better understanding of procedure and handling of equipments. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 80 students and 10 staff members attended this. WELCOME ADDRESS The morning of workshop day was itself warm and exciting. The host, Ms.Sonali Sonker, a fellow student of TE-A, Civil welcome students and Speaker Er.RaviRanade. Felicitation to expert done by H.O.D of Civil department, S.G.Joshi. PROCEDDING DETAILS SESSION 1 :NDT : Introduction and why NDT. Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is the process of doing inspections, testing, or evaluating materials, components or assemblies for defects without destroying the material or component or the use of non-invasive techniques to determine the integrity 3

of a material, component or structure. In other words, Inspect or measure without doing harm. NDT plays a vital role in assuring the safe operation of equipment and systems.

4 of a material, component or structure. In other words, Inspect or measure without doing harm. NDT plays a vital role in assuring the safe operation of equipment and systems. Industries that utilize NDT: Airline and Aerospace Automotive and Railroad Construction Hydroelectric, Fossil, Nuclear Power Textile and Manufacturing Chemical and Petrochemical Logistics and Supply Medical and Pharmaceutical. Speaker Er. Ravi Ranade Uses of NDT: Flaw Detection and Evaluation - the size, shape, or orientation of a flaw (such as a crack or porosity) Leak Detection Location Determination Stress (Strain) and Dynamic Response Measurements Dimensional Measurements Material Sorting and Chemical Structure and Microstructure Characterization Composition Determination the thickness of a material or coating Estimation of Mechanical and Physical the hardness of a material Properties a material s electrical conductivity The size, shape, or orientation of a flaw (such as a crack or porosity), The thickness of a material or coating The hardness of a material The material composition (example, the carbon content in steel) material s electrical conductivity Test methods may be used to determine: Lime is more durable than cement. For ex. Old heritage monuments/wadasmade of lime, are still standing whereas buildings of cement cannot even reach 80 years in practice due to deterioration etc. There are no criterias for durability, no regulations. Sadly India has not made a IS code of their own till now and to be honest no-one 4

follows the IS Code on site practice and this reflects in the death

It is expected that by 2025, we will have cement free construction-

Cube Strength Depends on: 1) Age 2) Size of mould-cube/cylinder 3)

5 follows the IS Code on site practice and this reflects in the death rate during disasters. It is expected that by 2025, we will have cement free construction- Geo Polymer Concrete. Cube Strength Depends on: 1) Age 2) Size of mould-cube/cylinder 3) Shape of mould 4) Mould material and texture 5) Compaction 6) Curing technique 7) Moisture conditions at time of testing 8) Type of CTM Er.Ravi Ranade during lecture. 5
