EARTH WORK IN EXCAVATION OF FOUNDATION.

EARTH WORK IN EXCAVATION OF FOUNDATION.

Earthwork in excavation in foundation trenches or drains not exceeding 1.5m in width and 10sq. m in plan including dressing of sides & ramming of bottom, disposal of surplus excavated soil within 50m lead & 1.5m lift. All excavation operation shall include excavation and getting out the excavated matter.

EARTH WORK IN EXCAVATION OF FOUNDATION.

Stability of existing structures. 

Before starting excavation trial pits should be dug to ascertain the depth and nature of its foundation. Shoring should be used in all cases when the depth of excavation exceeds its distance from the existing structure. 

Excavation. 

Foundation trenches shall be dug out to the exact width of the foundation concrete and the sides of the trenches shall be left plumb where the nature of soil admits of it. Where the soil is not good and does not permit vertical sides, the sides Fut be sloped back or shored up carefully. No excavated material shall be placed within 1 m (3') from the edge of any trench. 

Finish of trench. 

The bottom of the foundation trenches shall be perfectly level both longitudinally and transversely and or completion shall be slightly watered and well rammed. Excess digging if done by mistake or otherwise shall be filled up with concrete. If any soft places come to light on inspection or by ramming, they shall be dug out as directed by the Engineer incharge and filled with concrete or with stabilized soil. 

Water in excavation. 

The contractor shall arrange boiling out water in the foundations or trenches due to rains. The pumping out of water caused by springs, sub-soil water or river seepage and broken water mains or drains for which the contractor is not responsible shall be arranged by the department and the cost of the same is not included in the rate. 

Finds. 

Any valuable materials or treasure found during the excavation shall be the property of the Government. 

Precaution. 

All materials and labour required for fencing in and protecting against risk of accident due to open excavation all be provided by the contractor.

Obstructions. 

When the rocks or remains of old buildings are met with, the material shall be removed unless specifically ordered otherwise by the Executive Engineer Blasting if required will not be allowed without the permission in writing of the Executive Engineer. In case blasting is essential, extra rate to be paid shall be fixed in writing before the work is put in hand. 

Completion. 

After construction of foundation, the remaining portion of trenches shall be filled up with earth in layers of 15 16) and watered and well rammed. The filling of earth shall be free from brick bats and clods. All surplus earth shall be removed and site shall be levelled and dressed.

Measurement. 

The measurement of the excavation shall be taken in cu m i.e., length x breadth x depth. Rate shall be paid for complete work including 30 m lead and 1.5 m lift. Separate extra rate is provided for extra 30m lead and extra 15m lift.

Medlum Density Fibre Board (MDF)

Medium Density Fibre Board (MDF)  MDF IS made from wood and other lignocellulose material refined into fibres and reconstituted with a resin binder. Row wood material is normally a single species wood. MDF has homogeneous structure with uniform density, texture and properties throughout, no identifiable grain can be seen at edge, end or face. There are no internal voids or pits and there is no variation in the surface hardness. Unlike plywood MDF doesn't delaminate. It has much higher strength than particle board. Since edges are totally smooth and uniform, costly tipping or beading with strips of wood required for plywood and particle board is not essential. It can be carved, grooved or embossed just like any timber. The surface of MDF is totally smooth and accepts all kinds of finishes - paints, varnishes and laminates. One such type of famous board in the market is 'Duratuff" . It comes in both interior and exterior grade. Duratuff prelaminated boards are also avail...

The loads Acting on staircase.

Distribution of  Loads  and its Effect on  Staircase Stair  slabs are usually designed to resist gravity  loads , comprising of dead  loads  and live  loads  as described below:  1) Dead  Load : The components of the dead  load  to be considered are: a) Self-weight of  stair  slab (tread/tread-riser slab/waist slab) b) Self-weight of ... LIVE LOADS:- IS 875 parts II specifies the load to be considered as UDL of intensity 5KN/m2 for public  buildings and 3kN/m2 for residential building where the specified floor do not exceed 2kN/m2 and the staircases are should not liable for overcrowding. DEAD LOADS:- Self-weight of stair slab which includes the waist slab, tread-rise,etc. Self-weight of finishes (0.5 to 1 kN/m?) Types of stairs                                                ...

MACHINE FOUNDATION.

MACHINE FOUNDATION. The design of machine foundation involves careful study of the vibration characteristics of the foundation system. Relevant data for the design and construction of the foundation of machine should be obtained from the manufacturer of the machine , prior to the start design.  All parts of machine foundation should be designed for maxim stresses due to the worst combination of vertical loads, torque, longitudinal and transverse forces, stresses due to temperature variation and the foundation dead load. In case, the foundation layout is partly built up of beam and column construction , straight bars should be provided both at top and bottom of the beams and the spacing of the stirrups should be close. The main foundation block should have the designed thickness and should be reinforced both at top and bottom even if the reinforcements are not required from design considerations. Machine foundations  are special types of  foundations  required fo...
