Excavation, Layout and Foundation
 Excavation is a process of making trenches by digging up
of earth for the construction of foundations and
basements.
 Excavation level at escape site is 219.825 mm
 Excavation is done by the JCB on the hourly basis
 After the excavation the surface is leveled called surface
dressing
 Layout is done on the PCC poured over leveled surface.
 Column and foundation (raft ) steel is then laid as per
drawings.
Points to take care:-
 layout should be checked properly.
 Check any difference between architectural and structural
drawings regarding location of column.
 After excavation check the stability of temporary structures built
near the excavated ground.
 Before laying raft reinforcement, shuttering wall which is mainly
brick wall should be built and should be filled with soil on other
side.
 Check the direction of chair bars in the raft
EXCAVATION

RAFT FOUNDATION
 COULMN CASTING
 On the raft the column layout is done.
 Layout for starter.
 The column ties and link bars are provided as per column
reinforcement drawings and general specifications.
 Displacement of main bars should be provided with L bar
 The plumb of formwork should be checked.
 Height of cast should be calculated accurately.
 Avoid caps as far as possible.

LINKS & TIES
PLUMB & FORMWORK, CASTING,CURING
 SLAB, BEAM SHUTTERING & CASTING

 beam bottom is first laid on the column and then slab formwork
is laid

 After the reinforcement, the slab is checked for steel as per

drawings and level required.

 A camber of 5 mm in provided in the center of slab.

 Casting of slab should be discontinue at l/3 from the support.

SLAB STAGES
IMPORTANT COMPONENTS
 Key in column

 Water bar

 Binding materials

 Expansion joint
 KEY IN COLUMN
 since the height of column is very large,
hence it is not possible to cast the column at
one time, to cast the column later the key is
made at the junction so that the proper bond
between the old concrete and new concrete is
formed.
KEY IN COLUMN
 EXPANSION JOINT
 Since concrete is subjected to volume change. Provision must
be made to cater for the volume change by way of joint to
relieve the stresses produced.
 Expansion joint is function of length
 Buildings longer than 45 m are generally provided with one or
more expansion joints.
 Material used as expansion joint material is armour board
whose thickness is 25 mm.
 EXPANSION JOINT
 Expansion joint
material, size is 25 mm

 Expansion joint in
building
 WATER BAR

 Water bar is provided in the retaining wall o

that the moisture can’t move from the soil to
the joint. Water bar is basically provided at
the constructions joints of retaining wall of two
different towers
WATER BAR
 BINDING MATERIALS
 Since the thermal expansion of concrete is different from that of
masonry. The interface between the concrete and the masonry is
liable to crack. To avoid this crack the chicken wire mesh is used to
avoid the crack and also provides the better grip for Masonry with
concrete.

 Similarly when the drainage pipes are laid along with the outer wall
then again the connection between the pipe and the wall has
different coefficient of temperature change hence they are joint to
the concrete by lead keys.

 In the toilets and kitchen sunken portion the joints in any case are
packed by water proof and non shrinkable material.
BINDING MATERIALS

 Chicken wire mesh between

brick masonry and concrete
 Connection of pipes with
concrete
 Chicken wire mesh in
conduits through concrete
 WATER PROOFING
 Water proofing has remained as an unsolved complex problem

 Use of plasticizers, super plasticizers, air-entraining agents

helps in reducing the permeability of concrete by reducing the
requirement of mixing water, hence can be also be regarded as
waterproof material.

 Some of approved water-proofing compound by the company

are:- pidilite, cico, fosroe, baushimine, unitile.

 Water-proofing cement paint:- super snoweem

 WATER PROOFING

 Water proofing in sunken

portion of kitchen and
bathroom
 WP in sunken portion at
ground level
 WP in retaining wall
 WATER PROOFING IN GARDEN AREA

 For water proofing in garden area the soil is first leveled and
then rammed to achieve the maximum density
 The PCC is then laid down mixed with tape Crete (a water
proofing compound)
 After PCC the plaster of fibrous material is done.
 the bituminous sheets are laid by heating it with the welder. On
those sheets the drainage pipes are laid down with suitable
slope and these pipes are covered with geo-fabric sheets.
 Again the plaster is done. On the plaster the 40 mm aggregates
are laid.
 On the aggregate the geo-fabric sheets are laid down on which
the sand is placed & on the sand the soil ,along with fertilizers,
is placed on which the gardening is done for the non tower area.
 WATER PROOFING IN GARDEN AREA

 Sandy soil
 PCC mixed with tape
Crete (water proof
compound)
 Texas (bitumen) sheet
 Drainage pipe
 40 mm aggregate
 Geo-fabric sheet
 Sand
INTRODUCTION/BENEFITS
 Post-tensioning is a method of reinforcing (strengthening)
concrete or other materials with high-strength steel strands or
bars, typically referred to as tendons

 allows longer clear spans, thinner slabs

 lower overall building height for the same floor-to-floor height.

 allows a high degree of flexibility in the column layout, span

lengths and ramp configurations
POST TENSIONING
PLACEMENT OF TENDONS
 Positioning and fixing of casting and block-outs to the edge formwork
or construction joint formwork
 The support bars shall be prepared in advance.
 Lay tendons according to tendon layout in accordance with the
drawings.
 Fix tendons to correct profiles with support bars and chairs and the
tendons are made with provisions for grouting using grout using grout
vents and grout hoses
 Prepare installation report for every installation as per the enclosed
format.

 tolerance of tendon profiles is recommended as follows:

 **vertical: + 5 mm (at lowest and highest points)
 Horizontal: + 100 mm
 LOADS ON FALSEWORK
Loads on Falsework are any combinations of
the following:
 Dead loads,
 Imposed loads,
 Environmental loads,
 Incidental loads during erection and
operation, and
 Lateral pressure.
 DIFFERENT LOAD DATA
 Self load shall be determined by either actual measurement or in
accordance with IS 875 (Part I) the unit weight of wet concrete including
reinforcement shall be taken as 26 kN/m². However, in absence of the
data, load may be assumed as 500 N/M2 for the purpose of initial
calculations .
 Loads during constructional operation shall constitute the imposed
loads [see IS 875 (Part 2 ) Where allowance has only to be made for
access and inspection purposes, a loading of 750 N/m² should be
adequate
 The lateral pressure due to fresh concrete depends on the temperature
of concrete as placed, the rate of placing of concrete and the concrete
mix proportion
 Wind loads should be taken for design in accordance with IS 875 (Part
3 ) subject to a minimum horizontal load equal to 3 percent of the
vertical loads at critical level.
 Snow loads should be assumed in accordance with IS 875(4) . The
maximum density of ice may be assumed to be 900 kg/m³.
