SITE VISIT OF GIRLS HOSTEL

Last week we have visited the girl hostel construction site which we saw various
type of works which are as follow……

1 first) Toothing of a wall- Toothing is used to make proper bond/joint or


connection between two brick walls, In this process what we do that in alternate
course of wall we extend the course to an extent of half brick so the structure looks
like tooth come out of the wall. So that if in future brick work is done to extend that
wall. The joint will be proper between new and old brick work. This tooting give a
very high strength to brick masonry and to get a good we should leave tooting in
brick masonry and if we have different size of brick we have to keep one face
smooth and other face rough. The rough face should be inside part of the building
and this rough portion can be covered by plastering which the plaster joint with wall
also increase

2. Plumb Bob. Plumb bob is a device to measure the verticality of the wall. It
consists of a thread and weight at the end of the thread and it used for stone
masonry, brick masonry… etc

3. for having a good brick masonry we should have a horizontal alignment and it
can be done by thread, the thread was wounded between to ends of the bricks and
rest of the bricks was placed along that line. Between two Bricks, mortar should be

placed properly so that there is no cavity in between two bricks .mostly the mixing
of mortar is in 1:6 which 1 is cement and 6 is mortar before using mortar if w wet
the brick it good to have a good joint between mortar and brick

4. String. it is use to check the horizontal


alignment of column If the thread touch both the
corner of the column then it is considered to be
straight. As show in figure-----

5. Door frame is made of wood, metal


.aluminum and is used to hold the doors
properly, to increase the weight of door frames
concrete is poured in the corner of the frame.
Also for fixing the window with wall, first of all,
we take out some bricks on the corner of the
walls to adjust door frame properly.

6. Shuttering. For shuttering now a day we are


using adjustable span of steel, the time period
for foam work depends on type of formwork. For soffit formwork to slabs stripping
time period is generally 3 days , while for beams it is 7 days.

6. Flooring: before the flooring is to be done


first of all we decide a level of floor, then we
decide the amount of slope and the direction in
which it is to be provided for this we try to take a
level point to control our level from the that point
. For this purpose first of all we fix a
benchmark .Taking that benchmark as a datum
level the other points are selected keeping the
slope constant. The mortar thickness depends
upon level of benchmark from the ground level.

. In case of flooring with the help of stones we


can’t do the same procedure as the stones may
have different thickness. So for that purpose first
of all we fixed one stone and the other stones
where fixed keeping the sides perfectly
horizontal and corner matching.
