The construction was began from the base which is called KRACHARI (in ordinary word) used
as fixing in the position of the preceding stages. And members called GANCHO (in ordinary
word) used as tying the eucalyptus on the floor during construction, those GANCHO will be
cut after finishing our work even if they serve as stirrup for common house construction they
are wastage in such projects like.
Slab formwork:
Slab formwork is installed using props commonly called Cristi. The props are mainly used for
the purpose of supporting the Soffit formwork. They are erected so that they could have
consistent height and form a level surface for laying the bottom formwork of the slab,
commonly called Fondo.

2.3.2.2. Scaffolding
Scaffolding is a temporary structure used to support a work crew and materials to aid in the
construction, maintenance and repair of buildings, bridges and all of man made structures.
Scaffolding supports formwork and other structures (such as precast girders). These are:
Christy:
Christy made as long as the story height from floor slab to the beam of the next floor, it support
the soffit form work of the beam & distribute the load coming from the beam to the lower floor
slab, it was fixed with a horizontal structure call it “mager ”.
Ponty:
Ponty are structures which support the soffit formwork of slab temporarily & distribute the
load coming from slab.
2.3.2.3. Beam
A beam is a structural element that is capable of withstanding load primarily by resisting
bending moment, shear and torsion effect. Beams generally carry vertical gravitational forces
2.3.2.4. Column
A column is a vertical structural member transmitting axial compression loads with or without
moments. Column support mainly vertical loads from the floors and roof and transmit these
loads to the foundation. Usually column is called compression member, because the
compression forces or stresses dominate their behavior. In addition, most columns are
subjected to moment as well as axial load. The bending action may produce tensile forces over
a part of the cross section.
Any building structure loads increase as we go down to the ground and so bottom structural
members are properly configured that they carry all super structural loads above it and transfer
safely to the foundation. Hence the sections of columns in upper stores are reduced as they
have to carry lesser loads. But center lines of columns must coincide accurately for various
columns of different stores.
Each column diameter, reinforcement etc. is not the same. Their reinforcement size and length
are vary this is because of load variability.
Longitudinal (main) bars:-secured to starter bars projecting from the column or foundation
below. It works with the concrete to carry the compressive loads and they resist the tensile
stresses.
2.3.2.6. Slab
Slabs are structural part of a building that transmit load acting on it normal to their plane and
then to beam. It is widely used for firm floors and roof of the building. Their aim is to provide
a level surface capable of supporting the occupants of a building, equipment’s, furniture’s and
sometimes-internal partitions. . They are supported by either beams or walls or directly by
columns.
Solid slab:
It is a type of slab, which has beams mostly have higher thickness than the slab. In the site this
slab has a thickness of 15 cm.
Tension loads on the slab resisted by providing positive and negative reinforcement.
Positive reinforcement should be at the bottom in longitudinal and transversal direction of the
span. Field moment reaches quickly to the long span length than the short span length.
Short length bars have a tendency of bending than long length bars that is why short bars are
put at the bottom.
Top reinforcement used to resist negative moment. If the span was at the edge, the top
reinforcement bends L/3 of its span length serves as negative(for support moment)
reinforcement.
Figure 27-column strip and middle strip reinforcement for positive moment
The rebar found in column strip transfer/carry moments approximately 55% of the total positive
moment. Lx/4m in both side of the center of the column.
Middle strip reinforcement of the carry approximately 45% of the total positive moment.
Lx/4m in both side of the center of the column.

Mixing of concrete:
The concrete is mixed in our site using an efficient automatic
mechanical mixer and by hand. The concrete mixing procedure is:
Water is poured to the mix drum to wash away all
unnecessary materials in it.
Cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate added according
to specific grade of concrete.
Sufficient water added that will result in a workable mix,
which can be poured efficiently into position around
reinforcement and will produce a dense concrete of specific
strength.
The mixing process is stopped when the cement is thoroughly
distributed throughout the mass, approximately 3 minutes Figure 30-concrete mixing
after the whole of water has been added.
The concrete will not be discharged from the mixer unless it is properly mixed, having
a uniform color and consistency. The amount of water is adjusted by trial and error and
based on experience as described previously
Placing of concrete:
It refers to casting of the concrete on its final position and thus ensures proper distribution of
concrete in the structure; Concrete must be placed in position as soon after mixing as possible
and before too stiff to work.
The important points to be noted in placing concrete are the following:
Inside of form work should be inspected.
Check for the proper positioning of spacers and reinforcement.
Choose the right equipment for the concrete.
There should be no segregation of concrete when it is placed.
It should be thoroughly compacted in position in layers.
Avoid excessive horizontal movement.
Maintain sufficient placement capacity.
Curing of concrete:
Curing is the operation of maintaining humidity and temperature of freshly placed concrete to
assure satisfactory hydration of cement and proper hardening of the concrete or to keep concrete
moist for some time (3 - 7 days). By keeping concrete, moist the bond between the paste and
the aggregates gets stronger.
2.4. The procedure I followed while performing my tasks
First, when they told me to handle a particular task, I try to ask everything that is unclear for
me to execute that task. Then I go through with the work and try to finish the work within the
time they gave me. The office Engineer takes and sees all the works I have done. He checks
and corrects me if there is an error with my work. After this, he tells me the correct way to
handle the task. For example in quantity surveying or when I prepare take off sheets, I try to
explain or describe all necessary steps that has to be followed for every items of works as per
specification and bill of quantities.
I try to follow the easiest and short methodology in order to qualify different tasks in
understandable manner when the other person sees it.
I need to work each and every task by myself unless I didn’t understand it well. Additionally I
want to execute any type of work independently, accurately and with the required speed.
