    The document describes two methods of constructing jack arch floors using steel or brick. For steel jack arch floors, metal joists are placed and secured, then a curved metal centering plate is suspended between them. Concrete is then poured and compacted to form the arched floor. For brick jack arch floors, bricks are laid vertically on edge between metal joists to form the curved floor structure over time.

    STEEL AS A CONSTRUCTION

    MATERIAL
    PART – 2
    JACK ARCH FLOORS
    BRICK JACK ARCH FLOORING FIRST THE M.S. JOISTS ARE PLACED AND
    SECURED IN POSITION.
    TOP CONCRETE AND FLOORING SHOULD NOT BE LAID
    UNLESS THE BRICK WORK IS CURED FOR 15 DAYS CENTERING OF SEGMENTAL PIECE OF TIMBER
    WITH CHORD LENGTH EQUAL TO THE SPAN OF
    THE ARCH AND CONFORMING TO THE SOFFIT IS
    MADE TO REST ON THE LOWER FLANGE OF THE
    R.S.J. WITH THE CURVED SURFACE UPWARDS.

    ALTERNATIVELY A BENT METAL STRAP IS


    ATTACHED TO ITS ENDS TO FORM A HOOK
    THROUGH WHICH THE CENTERING BOARD IS
    SUSPENDED FROM THE R.S.J.

    THE BRICKS ARE THEN LAID ON EDGE FROM


    BOTH THE JOISTS. ONLY WELL BURNT BRICKS ARE
    USED AND THEY ARE SATURATED WITH WATER
    BEFORE USE.

    THE END BRICKS ARE CUT SUITABLY TO FIT FIRMLY


    WITH THE JOISTS
    IN THE FIRST RING THE BRICKS ARE LAID
    HORIZONTALLY AND VERTICALLY ALTERNATIVELY
    ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE ARCH TO SECURE
    GOOD BOND WITH THE SUCCEEDING LAYER. THIS
    IS REPEATED THROUGHOUT.
    THE KEY BRICK AT THE CROWN IS LAID IN RICH
    AFTER THE FIRST RING IS COMPLETE THE CENTERING BOARD MORTAR AND PUSHED AS TIGHT AS POSSIBLE
    IS ADVANCED BY LIGHT HAMMER BLOWS FOR THE NEXT RING
    THE ARCHES ARE MADE OF 1:2:4 CEMENT
    CONCRETE SUPPORTED ON THE LOWER
    CEMENT CONCRETE
    FLANGES OF M.S. JOISTS. JACK ARCH FLOORING
    THE CENTERING CONSISTS OF A 3MM THICK MILD
    STEEL PLATE BENT TO THE SHAPE OF THE ARCH
    SOFFIT HAVING CORRESPONDING HOLES AT
    BOTH ENDS @ 750 MM C/C

    THE CENTERING PLATE IS SUPPORTED ON THE


    LOWER FLANGE OF JOISTS THROUGH A PAIR OF
    12MM DIA RODS, EACH HAVING AN EYE HOOK AT
    ITS END.
    EACH ROD PASSES THRU THE END EYE OF THE
    OTHER AND THEIR TOTAL LENGTH IS ADJUSTED
    TO THE SPAN OF THE ARCH. THE ENDS OF THE
    RODS PASS THRU SYMMETRICAL HOLES OF THE
    CENTERING PLATE AND FIRMLY REST ON THE
    LOWER FLANGE OF THE R.S.J.

    IN ORDER TO CHECK THE DEFLECTION OF THE


    CENTERING PLATE A WOODEN PACKING BLOCK IS
    TIGHTLY INSERTED BETWEEN THE M.S. PLATE AND
    THE RODS

    CONCRETE LAID
    THE FNISHED IS COMPACTED
    FLOOR BY VIBRATOR
    IS CURED FOR OR
    10 DAYS AND
    MANUALLY
    CENTERING. THE FLOORING
    IS THEN IS THEN
    REMOVED. DONE.
    FIRST THE WOODEN
    BLOCK, THEN THE RODS AND THEN THE PLATE.
    THE ARCH MAY THEN BE PLASTERED
