Starter has casted for support the column shuttering. Then the reinforcement is done by
the bar bending team. The vertical bars are present up to a certain height and are extended by
lapping. The vertical ties are provided as per the drawing. The sheer key provided for better
bonding and column terminates in size as level increases. The next step is shuttering which
carried out based on the framing. Type of shuttering used for columns is MIVAN
SHUTTERING. With the help of jacks, runners, channels and plywood the shuttering
adjustments are done. The shuttering is done and plumb is checked and proper cover blocks are
provided. Concrete is poured using proper vibrations and de-shuttering is done on next day. Any
repair work is done to close any honeycombs present. Columns are marked with date of casting
and column number. The levels are checked of the using auto level and the layout dimensions are
noted.

After the reinforcement is done quantity surveyor will check and give the volume of concrete
needed to cast the slab, concrete, beams. The quality controller will check the slab reinforcement
and also the electrical conduit. After checklist is approved then the contractor can cast the slab.
Concreting starts with the columns since it requires higher grade of concrete. Then slabs and
beams are casted. The thickness of the slab needs to be checked regularly. At last the level is
checked using auto-level. Curing is done for 7 days. Nitobond is the chemical applied at
construction joints. Shalitex board is applied at expansion joints.

3.8 POROTHERM BLOCK:

Dept. of Civil, CMRIT Page 36


Residential Building Construction Practices at Salarpuria Sattva Misty Charm

Porotherm smart bricks are new age advanced clay bricks used for both load bearing and
non load bearing construction. These bricks are environmental-friendly, cost-effective and easy
to use resulting in faster construction. Porotherm is manufactured by Wiener Berger in its state of
the art factory at Bangalore. Wiener Berger is a 193 years old Australia based company with 226
plants worldwide. Porotherm blocks are certified by IGBC rating. The clay is made from de-
silting of dead water tanks and only natural additives like coal ash, rice husk and saw dust.

Porotherm blocks are in two types,


 Porotherm Horizontally perforated clay Bricks.
 Porotherm Vertical Perforated Clay Blocks.

3.8.1 ADVANTAGES:
 Light weight, that is, it has 60% less weight than conventional walling material.
 Strong and durable-high compressive strength.
 Excellent Thermal and Sound Insulation.
 Low water absorption (15%), thus minimal risk of dampness, cracks or shrinkage of
walls.
 Non-susceptible to carbonation.
 Unlimited life and maximum fire protection, because it is already burnt at 1000 degrees.

3.8.2 LIMITATION:
 It cannot be used in the construction of huge structures due to its density which is about
694 to 783 kg/m3.
 It may could be exposed to salt attacks due to its water absorption which is about 15%
and hence the strength of the structure would be decreased.
 It may not able to withstand the negative pressure of water and capillary action.

Pre-designed and pre-fabricated aluminium alloy components, customized to the


buildings’ requirements. Beams, columns, shear walls, slabs, external walls, balconies, Staircases
and façade/ Patio beams are cast in a monolithic manner. Services Ducts, Doors & window
openings and provisions for services are integrated in to the formwork too. Aluminum
components are placed in position as per the formwork layouts; assembled easily using pins and
wedges and specially designed concrete mix is poured monolithically both vertical and
horizontal elements to give a complete floor structure in one go.

3.9.1 COMPONENTS:
 The aluminum components are of high-strength, light in weight and with excellent
stiffness-to-weight ratio, yielding minimal deflections.
 All the elements are named based on their location in the formwork assembly, viz. as
wall, deck and beam components for walls, slabs and beams respectively.
 High strength wall ties hold the wall panels together.
 Beams and props hold the deck components.
 A simple ‘pin and wedge arrangement’ / ‘Stub Pins’ is used to lock the components
together.
 Bracing and tie rods are not required in general, only wall ties are used at desired
intervals to keep the shuttering intact.
 However uniquely for our Brigade Exotica special wailers are designed to take care of
400 thick oblique walls to shape the patios.
 At times, if any panel is out of line (owing to repetitive usage), it is fastened to a panel on
the opposite side by means of a turn buckle.

3.9.2 WALL COMPONENTS:


WALL PANELS:
 They are used for the faces of all the external walls and shear walls, having holes all
around on the ribs for stub pins to hold them.
ROCKERS:
 These are L-shaped panels supporting the walls, placed between the end of wall panels
and the floor levels.

Fig No 3.15: Wall panel & Rockers

3.9.3 WORK CYCLE – 8 to 10 DAYS:


 Day 1 & 2: Layout and marking with the help of total station, erection of reinforcement
for vertical members. Removal of top outer panels for fixing Safety Brackets and making
platforms, fixing of safety nets. Transferring components to upper floor, checking of
kickers.
 Day 3 & 4: De- shuttering on previous floor, fixing of vertical panels, Electrical Box
fixing and conduiting, Provision for Plumbing cutouts, formwork for the slabs and
beams, striking out of slab skin of previous floor leaving the drop panels in place after
getting the 3 days cube test result.
 Day 5 & 6: Formwork continues reinforcement of beam starts.
 Day 7 & 8: Checking of slab level, Reinforcement work for slab and outer side shuttering
work.
 Day 9 & 10: Slab electrical conduiting, checking of alignment, Pouring concrete.

3.9.4 ADVANTAGES:
 Good speed of construction, because:
 Not much time and skilled workmanship required for assembly on site.
 Simple and quick inter – connections using pins and wedges.
 Provision of kicker pieces avoids starters compared to conventional practices.
 Lifting & Shifting becomes easier because it is lighter in weight.
 Total system forms the complete floor with all components includes staircases,
balconies, parapets etc. in one go.
 Excellent degree of pre-engineering includes minor detailing, sleeves for electrical main
lines, etc.
 Accurate dimensions and right angles, good finishes.
 External plaster is avoided.
 Precision in maintaining verticality of a tall structure like Exotica.
 System is well designed keeping in view of the utmost safety precautions of the workers.
 Durability of the structure is more because the entire envelop of structure is made with
RCC.
 Finish activities are safer because the entire envelop is done in structure.
 Standard Panels can be re-used for more than 100 times.
 Nails are not required, hence, injuries are avoided.

3.9.5 DISADVANTAGES:
 Huge number of components are used, more chances of miss out which impacts badly on
finish surface.
 Modifications are not easily possible as all members are cast in RCC.
 Minimum No. of repetition should be maintain to make it cost effective.
