Method of Measurement IS Codes – Afroz Civil 👷 Introduction In civil engineering projects, measurement is the foundation for estimation, costing, billing, and project planning . Without a standard method, every engineer or contractor may interpret work differently. To remove this confusion, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) published IS 1200 – Method of Measurement of Building & Civil Engineering Works . These codes ensure uniformity, transparency, and accuracy in construction measurement. Whether you are a Site Engineer, Billing Engineer, Project Manager, Contractor, or Client , IS 1200 is a must-have reference. At Afroz Civil , we have compiled the complete list of IS 1200 parts with free PDF download links so you can easily save them in your Laptop/PC and use them whenever required on site. 📚 IS 1200 – Method of Measurement (All Parts) IS Code Part Work Description Download Link (PDF) IS1200 Part 1 Earthwork Download PDF IS 1200 Part 2 Concr...

  Concrete Mixes: Nominal Mix vs Design Mix | Afroz Civil Concrete Mixes: Nominal Mix vs Design Mix At Afroz Civil , we provide both theoretical and practical insights into civil engineering, including concrete technology. Understanding the difference between Nominal Mix and Design Mix concrete is essential for students, engineers, and construction professionals. 1. Nominal Mix Concrete Definition: Nominal mix concrete is a simple type of concrete in which the proportions of cement, sand, and coarse aggregate are fixed and specified by volume. It is suitable for ordinary construction where high accuracy in concrete strength is not critical. Common Nominal Mix Ratios (Cement:Sand:Coarse Aggregate) M5: 1:5:10 M10: 1:3:6 M15: 1:2:4 M20: 1:1.5:3 Key Points Simple and quick to prepare. No trial mixes required. Suitable f...

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) 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...
