Marking of columns

This pier like structure is made

For the marking of location of
Columns and this a temporary
Structure.
Sump for storing water
 Material store room

Labour’s Shelter
It is a temporary
structure made for the convenience
of labourers.
Construction of Foundation

Procedure of construction of a foundation starts with

decision on its depth, width and marking layout for
Excavation and centerline of foundation. Foundation
is the part of structure below plinth level in direct contact
of soil and transmits load of super structure to soil.
Generally it is below the ground level. If some part of
foundation is above ground level, it is also covered with
earth filling. This portion of structure is not in contact of
air, light etc. , or to say that it is the hidden part of the
structure.
Process involved in construction of
foundation:

-Excavation of earth.
-Laying of cement concrete.
-Laying footing in case of raft or column construction.
-Laying Anti termite treatment.
-Laying Brick work up to plinth level.
-Laying Damp proof course on the walls.
-Refilling of earth around the walls.
-Refilling of earth in the building portion up to the required
height according to plinth level.
Excavation of Land:
Laying of Reinforced Cement Concrete
Foundation and Footing:
Laying Footings for Column Construction:
Marking of Columns on Foundation:
Casting of RCC Columns:
 RCC column is a structural member of RCC frame structured
building. It’s vertical member which transfers loads from slab and
beam directly to subsequent soil.
 Material used in columns:
 Cement
 Coarse aggregate
 Fine aggregate
 Steel bar
 Water
 Shuttering
Construction of brick wall up to plinth
level:
Brick wall is made using traditional brick of dimension
230mm*115mm*75mm.
 Plinth Level

Plinth is the part of super structure, defined as the portion of the

structure between the surface of the surrounding ground and
surface of the floor, immediately above the ground.
The distance between the surface of the surrounding ground and
surface of the floor is called its plinth height, which should be
minimum 450mm, negotiable by steps or ramp.
The level of the floor is generally is known as PLINTH LEVEL. The
built up covered area measured at the floor level is known as
PLINTH AREA.
Casting of Plinth Beam

Beam laid above the foundation i.e. at plinth level is called PLINTH
BEAM.
PLINTH BEAM is important part of a structure which transfers load
to the adjacent columns. The void between the foundation and
plinth level is filled with compacted soil. Brick masonry is usually
constructed below the PLINTH BEAM. This beam is normally
provided in framed structure for proper framing of structure and
transferring the live load as well as dead loads of super structure on
the foundation.
 Laying Plinth Beam Reinforcement

 Framed structure is meant to join all the columns thereby reducing the
effective length and reducing the slenderness of the column.
 Two bars with minimum diameter of 12mm at the bottom of the beam.
Similarly, two bars with minimum diameter of 10 mm shall be provided
at the top of the plinth beam.
 Reinforcement bar should be protected by 25 mm concrete cover.
 Stirrup diameter should be at least 6mm and spacing of 15mm should be
sufficient.
Plinth Beam Casting
Extension of Columns
 Casting of Slab
 MATERIAL USED IN SLAB CASTING:
 Cement
 Coarse aggregate
 Fine aggregate
 Steel bar
 Binding wires
 Water
 Shuttering materials i.e., wooden planks and iron plates
ELECTRICAL PIPING IN
SLAB REINFORCEMENT
 Slab Laying Process
 According to work arrangement laying of RCC slab can be done
in 4 stages;
 Formwork
 Bending and binding steel bars
 Spacing of steel bars
 Laying of cement concrete

 NOTE: In building construction the slab for roof is very

important constituent.
 To retain concrete, formwork or centering and
shuttering is required, which provides the support to
the wet concrete until it has gained sufficient strength
to be self supporting

At the time of designing the slab, it is consider that

Concrete is strong in compressive strength but weak
In tensile strength, so to make the structure safe
against the tensile stress, steel bars are provided.
Laying of Cement
Concrete
Making the way on steel bars by
placing wooden plates to avoid
disturbances in steel bars. Now start
to lay the cement concrete mix as per
design but not below the 1:2:4 ratio.
The mix should be mechanically
mixed and vibrated after laying on the
slab.

CURING: After laying the RCC slab it

should be cure for 28 days for
getting full strength.
 Damp Proof Course
 WHAT IS DPC ?
DPC is generally applied at basement levels which restricts the
movement of moisture through walls and floors. Selection of
materials for damp proof course and its various methods of
applications in buildings is discussed.
STAIRCASE
 Masonry Work
 Clay brick masonry: This masonry
has been used in staircases, washroom
areas and some temporary structures.
 AAC BLOCK MASONRY: All the rooms
and wall have been made using AAC
blocks. AAC blocks are environment
friendly and cost effective therefore
they are being used in this site.
Doors and Windows Fixation
 After when masonry work is completed, the work of fixing doors and
window is started.
 Door and window frames are installed just below the lintel beam.
 Panels will be fixed after when construction work will be finished.
 Finishing
 After the completion of masonry work and doors and window
fixation, the walls are plastered and flooring is leveled and tiling is
done.
 Since the hostel building project is a on going process therefore
fixtures likes lights, switch board and switches is yet to be done.
 Plumbing fixtures and drainage system also under construction as
the site is not completed yet as it is a ongoing process.
 Since the hostel building is still under construction there are many
works yet to be done.
