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...

How to Calculate Cost and Quantity of 1000 Sq.ft Concrete Slab?

Cost and Quantity of 1000 Sq.ft Concrete Slab 1000 Sq.ft = 92.93 Sq.mt. Thickness of Slab = 0.150 Sq.mt. Volume of Slab = 92.93 X 0.150 = 13.939 cu.mt. Beam Volume = 20% o f concrete Vol.                         =13.939 X 20/100 = 2.7878 cu.mt. Total Slab Volume = 13.939 + 2.7878 = 16.768 = 17 cu.mt. We know :- M20 Grade of Concrete (1 : 1.5 : 3)  Concrete  Quantity  of 1 cu.mt. Cement = 8 bags   Sand = 15 cu.ft  aggregate = 30 cu.ft  1 cu.mt Concrete Cost =  4,550 Rs. So :- M20 Grade of Concrete (1 : 1.5 : 3)  Concrete  Quantity  of 1000 cu.mt. Cement = 17 X 8 = 136 bags  Sand = 17 X 15 = 255 cu.ft  aggregate = 30 X 17 = 510 cu.ft 1000 cu.mt Concrete Cost =  77,350 Rs. Steel Quantity = 1% of concrete Vol.                          =17 X 1/100 =...

AN INTRODUCTION TO HPL

What is hpl Decorative High Pressure Laminates (HPL), as defined by the European and international standards for HPL, EN 438 and ISO 4586, are high-density panels (≥1.35g/cm3), finished and ready for use, which have exceptional mechanical, physical strength and chemical resistance, are easy to work and simple to maintain. Arpa HPL panels are made of several layers of cellulose fibre material impregnated with thermosetting resins and then simultaneously subjected to both pressure (>7MPa)) and heat (140 / 150°C) in special presses, for a fixed time, which varies depending on the type of laminate. This process creates a stable, inert, homogeneous, nonporous and high density material, with physical and chemical properties that are totally different from those of its original ingredients. In addition, given its very low permeability, HPL acts as a barrier against the possible emission of formaldehyde and other volatile substances (VOCs) from any timber substrates it is applied to.
