Soil Retaining by Nailing Method

Procedure for Soil Nailing (As per IS 14490:1997) Site Investigation & Design Conduct geotechnical investigation (IS 1892:1979) to determine soil properties. Nail length: 0.7 to 1.0 times excavation height. Nail spacing: Generally 1.0 m to 2.0 m horizontally & vertically. Inclination: 10°–20° below horizontal. Excavation Excavation should be carried out in stages of 1.0–2.0 m depth . Each stage should be stabilized with nails before moving further. Drilling of Nail Holes Diameter of hole: 100–200 mm (IS 14490 recommends 100–150 mm). Holes drilled using rotary percussion rigs with compressed air or water flush. Insertion of Reinforcement (Nails) Nails generally consist of TMT bars (as per IS 1786) or steel tendons. Centralizers to be used to maintain cover of ≥ 25 mm grout thickness . Grouting Grouting material: Cement slurry (IS 456 & IS 3370). Water–cement ratio: 0.4–0.5. Pressure grouting to ensure complete filling. Shotcrete / Fa...

ANTI-TERMITE TREATMENT (CHEMICAL TREATMENT)

Anti-Termite Treatment (Chemical Treatment) 16 ANTI-TERMITE TREATMENT (CHEMICAL TREATMENT) 16.1 General Termites are divided into two types on the basis of their habitat, namely: (a) Subterranean or ground-nesting termites (b) Non-subterranean or wood-nesting termites having no contact with soil. The former are more destructive. Treating the soil with chemicals beneath the building and around the foundation with a chemical soil insecticide is a good preventive measure. The purpose of the treatment is to create a chemical barrier between the ground and woodwork. Timber used in the building shall be natural, durable, heartwood, treated, and seasoned. Anti-termite treatment can also be given, through constructional measures, to existing buildings. These are covered elsewhere (see Chapter 6). 16.2 Site Preparation 16.2.1 Remove tre...

Types of Measuring Tools and Their Uses

Types of Measuring Tools and Their Uses Types of Measuring Tools and Their Uses Accurate measurements are crucial in construction, engineering, and various industries. The right measuring tools ensure precision, efficiency, and quality. Here is a detailed guide on essential measuring tools and their applications. 1. Angle Locator An angle locator helps measure angles with precision. It features a rotating dial or digital display that shows angle measurements in degrees. This tool is commonly used in carpentry, metalworking, and construction to set up miter cuts or verify angles in installations. 2. Pressure Gauge A pressure gauge measures fluid or gas pressure within a system. It is essential in industries like HVAC, plumbing, and automotive applications to monitor pressure levels and maintain safety standards. 3. Laser Level A laser level projects a straight laser beam onto a surface to ensure accurate leveling and alignment. It ...

Types Of Level In Construction

Complete Guide to Construction Levels Complete Guide to Construction Levels with Practical Explanations In construction and civil engineering, different levels are used to ensure proper alignment, stability, drainage, and functionality. Below is a step-by-step explanation of each level in logical order, with practical examples to help you understand them better. 1. Natural Ground Level (NGL) – The Original Surface Definition: The existing level of the ground before any excavation or filling. Practical Example: Imagine you buy land with an uneven surface. The NGL is the starting point before any construction activity. Why It’s Important? Used as a reference for leveling, excavation, and filling. Helps determine how much soil needs to be removed or added. 2. Existing Ground Level (EGL) – After Site Preparation Definition: The level of the ground after site clearing, but before exc...

What is Chair Reinforcement in Building Construction ?

Chair Bar Guidelines for Reinforcement Chair Bar Guidelines for Reinforcement (As per IS Code) 1. Purpose of Chair Bars Chair bars are used to hold the reinforcement bars in position during construction to prevent displacement while pouring concrete. They ensure the required spacing is maintained between the top and bottom reinforcement bars as per design specifications. 2. Spacing of Chair Bars As per IS 456:2000 – Plain and Reinforced Concrete Code of Practice : Chair bars should be spaced at nominal 1000 mm centers , unless specified otherwise. For heavily reinforced slabs or where vibration may cause displacement, spacing can be reduced to 600-800 mm . 3. Diameter of Chair Bars As per IS 2502:1963 : The diameter of a chair bar is recommended as hc/50 , where hc is the clear cover. The diameter should not be less tha...
