Chapter 2:BUILDING CONSTRUCTION WORK


2.1 MASONRY WORK
2.1.1 What is a Wall?
A wall is a vertical structure, usually made of brick, concrete, or stone, that serves as a physical
barrier or divider between spaces. Walls can be found in various settings, including residential,
commercial, and industrial buildings, and outdoor environments, such as gardens and parks. In
addition to providing a physical barrier, walls can offer security, privacy, and insulation from
noise and weather.
Wall is a structural element which divides the space (room) into two spaces (rooms) and also
provides safety and shelter. Generally, the walls are differentiated as a two types outer-walls
and inner-walls. Outer-walls gives an enclosure to the house for shelter and inner-walls helps
to partition the enclosure into the required number of rooms. Inner walls are also called as
Partition walls or Interior Walls and Outer walls are also called as Exterior walls.
2.1.2 Types of Walls
1. Load Bearing Wall:
As the name itself suggests that, the whole building structure is rested on walls instead of
columns. In general, the loads from slab transfers to the beams, from beams to the columns
and then spread to the foundation.
From the above image, you can identify that the structure has beams and slabs but not
columns. In simple words, whether its exterior or interior walls, the wall which is bearing the
whole weight of the structure, including self weight of structural elements is called Load
bearing wall. Strip foundation is adopted for the load-bearing type of wall.

10
Government Polytechnic Ratnagiri
Industrial Training

2. Brick masonry wall:


The wall which is constructed with the help of bricks is called Brick masonry wall. Masonry is
used to join the bricks in the wall. The thickness of the brick wall could be 20cm or 10cm
 The 20cm wall is adopted for outer walls.
 The 10cm wall is adopted for inner walls.
Remember, the length of the brick wall in a single stretch should not exceed more than 4m. If
it exceeds, a column must be constructed with RCC.

3. Partition Wall
A partition wall may be defined as a wall or division made up of bricks, studding, glass or other
such material and provided for the purpose of dividing one room or portion of a room from
another. Partition walls are designed as non-load bearing walls. It may be of folding, collapsible
or fixed type of wall.

4. Boundary Wall
A boundary wall is a cast-in-place or prefabricated construction that serves as a boundary wall
or fencing for immovable property and comes in various designs.

11
Government Polytechnic Ratnagiri
Industrial Training

It can also be defined as a wall, fence, or enclosure of a building built on or adjacent to a


cadastral property border, with any extra structures, such as spikes, barbed wire, razor wire, or
electric fences, affixed to or on top of the boundary wall for security reasons.
5. Curtain wall
The wall which is constructed with glass, aluminium or with a steel frame is called a Curtain
wall. This type of walls is generally adopted in offices, Hospitals and other public buildings.

2.1.3 Material used in the wall


Building material is any material used for construction purpose such as materials for house
building. Wood, cement, aggregates, metals, bricks, concrete, clay are the most common type
of building material used in construction. The choice of these are based on their cost
effectiveness for building projects.
2.1.4 Procedure of wall
Step 1: Start your brick wall at the corners
Firstly, lay out the bricks at both ends of your wall
where the pillars will start. This should be done
after any necessary foundations have been
prepared. Using your string line, make a straight
guideline at brick height between the two outside
bricks.
When building pillars, at certain courses you’ll
need to lay half-bricks. To make a cut, place the
brick on its side, locate the bolster at the split
point and strike the head firmly with a club
hammer. It should split cleanly first time.

Step 2: Mix the mortar


Following this, heap five shovels full of sand and
one of cement on an old board. Turn shovel to mix
to a consistent colour. Form a central hollow, pour
in water and mix. Repeat for a smooth, creamy
texture that’s wet but not too loose.

12
Government Polytechnic Ratnagiri
Industrial Training

Step 3: Lay the first course of bedding mortar


Next you should lay a 1-2cm mortar bed along the string
line. Starting at one end, lay the first brick and tap slightly
to ‘bed in’. ‘Butter up’ one end of the next brick with
mortar and abut it to the first. Repeat using string line as a
guide.

Step 4: Create the brick pillars


At the point where you want your pillars to start, place a brick
side-on to the end of the wall. As you build up the wall, each
consecutive course of pillar bricks must be laid in the
opposite direction.

Step 5: Cutting bricks


When building pillars, at certain courses you’ll need to lay
half-bricks. To make a cut, place the brick on its side, locate
the bolster at the split point and strike the head firmly with a
club hammer. It should split cleanly first time.

Step 6: Keep the pillars one course ahead


Always build at least a course higher on the pillars than the rest
of the wall. Move the string line up as you build, bedding it
into the mortar on the pillars. For a stretcher bond, the end of
each brick should be over the centre of the one beneath.

Step 7: Make sure you’re sticking to 10mm mortar joints


Horizontal and vertical mortar joints should be 10mm thick.
With standard bricks there should be 75mm from the top of
each brick to the top of the one beneath. If your bricks soak up
moisture fast, you may want to ‘joint up’ (step 10) as you go.

13
Government Polytechnic Ratnagiri
Industrial Training

Step 8: Add a coping stone


You may want to add a coping stone to finish when you reach
the top of the pillars. Alternatively, you could create a pleasant
effect at less cost by bedding bricks into the mortar on their sides.

Step 9: Decorative brick soldier course


Adding a ‘soldier course’ is an attractive option to top the main
part of a garden wall. Turn your bricks vertically lengthways and
lay along the full length. Use a second, higher string line to keep
a uniform finish.

Step 10: How to finish the mortar beds


To finish the beds, use the rounded edge of a brick jointer to
scrape mortar into the joints. Start with the horizontal lines and
follow with the vertical – it’s easier to remove any excess mortar
this way

Step 11: Clean up


Lastly, give the finished wall a gentle brush over and clean up
any mortar that has fallen onto the floor before it dries. You can
use water to wash cement away from the floor, but be sure to
keep it away from your newly-built wall

2.3 WATERPROOFING

1) What is Waterproofing?
Waterproofing is the process of making a structure or material resistant to the penetration of water.
It is essential for protecting buildings, infrastructure, and various products from water damage and
moisture-related issues.
2) Types of waterproofing:-
Waterproofing is a crucial process to protect buildings and structures from water infiltration and
damage. There are several types of waterproofing methods used, depending on the specific
requirements and the area being treated. Here are some common types of waterproofing:
 Liquid Waterproofing Membranes: These are
liquid-based coatings that are applied directly onto
the surface and form a seamless, waterproof
barrier when they cure.
 Cementitious Waterproofing: This method
involves applying a cement-based coating or a
slurry onto the surface. It is commonly used for
concrete structures, such as basements, water
tanks, and swimming pools.
 Bituminous Membrane Waterproofing: Bitumen-based materials, such as asphalt or
modified bitumen sheets, are used to create a waterproof layer. This type of waterproofing
is often used for roofs and below-grade applications.

3) Process of waterproofing
 Surface Preparation: Proper surface preparation is crucial to ensure the waterproofing
materials adhere effectively. The surface must be clean, free of dust, debris, oils, and
other contaminants.
 Repair and Patching: Before waterproofing, any cracks, holes, or damaged areas in the
surface should be repaired and patched.
 Choose the Right Waterproofing Material: There are various waterproofing materials
available, each designed for specific applications. Some common waterproofing
materials include:
1) Liquid waterproofing Membrane: Applied as a liquid coating that cures into a flexible
membrane, it can be brushed, rolled, or sprayed onto the surface.

20
Government Polytechnic Ratnagiri
Industrial Training

2) Cementitious Waterproofing: A cement-based coating that is mixed with water and


applied to the surface to create a waterproof barrier.
 Application: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for applying the chosen waterproofing
material. This may involve multiple layers or coats to achieve the desired level of
waterproofing.
 Curing: Allow the waterproofing material to cure as per the manufacturer's
recommendations. The curing time can vary depending on the type of material used.
 Quality Check: After the waterproofing is applied, conduct a thorough inspection to ensure
the entire surface is adequately covered and that there are no missed spots or defects in the
application.
 Maintenance: Waterproofing is not a one-time fix. Regular maintenance is essential to
ensure the effectiveness of the waterproofing over time. Inspect the surface periodically
and address any issues promptly to prevent water damage from occurring.

4) Precautions during Waterproofing :-


1. Through surface preparation: Properly prepare the surface by cleaning it of all dust, debris,
oil, and contaminants. The waterproofing material needs a clean and even surface to adhere
effectively.
2. Selecting the right waterproofing material: Different
areas and surfaces require specific waterproofing
materials such as liquid membranes, sheet
membranes, or coatings. Choose the appropriate
material that suits the location and purpose of the
waterproofing.
5) Advantages of Waterproofing :-
1. Protection against water damage: Waterproofing
prevents water from seeping into structures, which
can cause structural damage over time. It helps
protect buildings, basements, roofs, and other surfaces from water-related issues
like leaks, dampness, and mold growth.

2. Extended lifespan: By preventing water damage, waterproofing can significantly


extend the lifespan of buildings, concrete structures, and other materials. It reduces
the risk of deterioration due to water infiltration,
which can lead to costly repairs and
replacements.

6) Disadvantages of water proofing:-


1. Bitumen-based products soften in the summer
heat because the black color has restricted life
due to solvent evaporation.

21
Government Polytechnic Ratnagiri
Industrial Training

2. The polyurethane protective coating shouldn’t be very versatile.


3. Polyurethane protective coating delays the natural breathing capability of concrete.

7) Tools used for waterproofing


1. Paintbrushes and Rollers: These are basic tools used to apply liquid waterproofing coatings,
such as waterproofing paints or sealants, to surfaces like walls, roofs, and decks.
2. Sprayers: Sprayers, including airless sprayers, are used for larger surface areas or when a
more even and faster application is required. They are commonly used for spraying liquid
waterproofing membranes on roofs and walls.
3. Trowels: Trowels are used for applying waterproofing compounds and sealants in thick
layers or for filling gaps and cracks in surfaces.
4. Squeegees: Squeegees are helpful for spreading and leveling liquid waterproofing
materials evenly on flat surfaces, such as floors and decks.
5. Caulking Guns: Caulking guns are used to apply sealants and caulk to fill gaps, joints, and
cracks in various building components like windows, doors, and concrete joints.

2.4 FLOORING
2.4.1 What is flooring?
A permanent covering over the floor structure with a finish material to provide a walking
structure is termed has flooring.
2.4.2 Types of flooring:-
1. Mud flooring
 Easiest form of material available
 economical, mud is readily available and the
flooring is easy to construct and maintain
 village housing

2. Brick flooring
 Bricks successfully used for foundations, walls,
roof, floors etc.
 Brick flooring is advantageous in areas where
bricks are available locally.
 Easy to construct with the help of local mason
and are also economical.

3. Mosaic Flooring
 The floors having its topping consisting of
mosaic tiles or small regular cubes, square or
hexagons, embedded into a cementing mixture
 Mosaic is the art of creating images with an
assemblage of small pieces of colored glass,
stone, or other materials. It is a technique of
decorative art or interior decoration.

4. Stone flooring: Granite

 phavda
 Thapi
 Wooden mallet
 Hammer
 Measuring tape
 Channi
 Line dori
 Ghamelas
 Tube level
2.4.5 Procedure of flooring
1. Check And Prepare the Floor Surface
Take time to ensure your floor is even, ensuring that there are no bumps or cracks and that
the surface is thoroughly cleaned, using a degreasing agent, such as sugar soap, if required.
2. Start in the right place
Be aware of your exits and access to your floor. We'd recommend starting in the center and
working your way out towards the corners so that you won't have to tread on freshly laid
floor tiles unnecessarily.
3. Prime the floor if required
So long as the surface you're tiling over is in good condition you should be able to tile onto
it, even if you're tiling over an already tiled floor. Depending on the type of tile and adhesive
you use and the condition of your floor, you may need to prime the surface. Ask the tile
manufacturer for what’s recommended for your particular tile.
4. Measure up
With chalk or a pencil, measure a center mark between the opposite walls or units and draw
a straight line down. Don’t assume that the opposite walls are equal in size, as a lot of rooms
aren’t perfectly square. Repeat this by measuring the center of the line that you draw. Lay
the square onto the center line and center mark to draw a line 90° to the first line.
5. Dry Lay the Tiles

24
Government Polytechnic Ratnagiri
Industrial Training

Starting at the middle point, dry lay a row of tiles in both directions up to the wall and
make sure you include 3mm tile spacers so the tile joints are even. If there is only a thin
piece of tile left at the wall, re-arrange the center tile so there is a larger section of tile,
which will be easier to cut.
6. Cut Tiles to Fill Any Gaps
When you’re happy with the layout, cut the required tiles, which will make laying them
quicker. You can use a manual cutter for straight cuts, an electric cutter for more complex
designs such as right angles and curves or a tile scribe for small, thin tiles. For the best
measure, you can place a tile on top of the last full tile, and mark with a pencil where the
overlap is, this is where you need to cut. Make sure you leave enough
7. Apply grout
Remove the tile spacers and clean the joints to remove any excess adhesive. Hold a grout
float at a 45degree angle and evenly spread the grout in between the tiles ensuring you
have tiled the joint. Work in small areas to ensure you have enough time before the grout
hardens. Once all the joints between the tiles are grouted, leave to dry for around 10 to 15
minutes before wiping the tile surface with a damp sponge, but don’t put too much
pressure on the grout joint for the grout joint and movement joint.
8. Finish with a silicone
Finish with a silicone sealant around all the edges with a silicone profile and smooth the
edges for a tidy result. Try to not use the floor/use it as little as possible for about 24 hours
to ensure a solid finish.
2.4.6 Precautions of flooring
1. Set up and organize the installation area
2. Verify the surfaces to be tiled and prepare them accordingly
3. Accurately verify measurements the corners, verticality of the walls and potential sloping
of the floors and where necessary take the appropriate measures.
2.4.7 Advantages of flooring work
1. Tile floors are durable
2. Tile floors are water-resistant
3. Tiles floors have low maintenance.
4. Tile floors are non allergenic.
5. Tile floors are fire resistant.

Timber formwork is the oldest type of
formwork in construction. It is used in
construction from ancient period. In small
construction, timber formwork is mostly used
because it is easily usable and it offers an onsite
fabrication for the required size and shape of
concrete. But for large construction, timber
formwork becomes a time consumptive formwork.
As well as timber formwork have less life compare
to other formwork. Timber formwork is cheaper
than steel or aluminium formwork when used only
for smaller works.

formwork can be used 20 to 25 times.
3) Plywood formwork gives smooth surface of concrete so does not require re-finishing of
concrete surface.
4) Larger areas can be covered using larger panels, thus reducing labor costs.

4.Aluminum formwork
Aluminium formwork is also known as
mivan shuttering or mivan formwork in
construction. It is very similar to steel formwork.
Most of the researches proven that aluminium
formwork is economical for large construction
compare to other formwork. Aluminium
formwork is very fast, simple and cost effective.
It is very cost effective for repetitive building
layout.
Aluminium formwork increase the efficiency of work as well as provide a smooth form finish of
the concrete, due to that the need of plastering work decreases.

2.5.3 Requirement of good Formwork:


The requirement of good formwork in construction are as follows.
1) Easy removal
Formwork design should be such so that it can be easily removed by less hammering, so
that the damage to the concrete is also less. If the formwork can be easily removed, it can be
reused for a small cost.
2) Economy
Formwork is not useful for stability of finished concrete. So its cost can be reduced by
keeping in mind the safety.
The following steps should be taken to bring economy in formwork work.
1. Reduce the use of irregular shapes of form.
2. Try to keep size of rooms similar.
3. Using commercial sizes of formwork available in the market.
4. Reuse as soon as the formwork is removed.

2.5.4 Formwork for Column:


Four planks is used in column
formwork. Four plank are used to make box
formwork for column. Wooden blocks, bolts,
yokes, etc. are used to hold the sides of the
box in position.
The characteristics of the formwork for
column are as follows.

 The formwork should be designed in such a way that it can withstand the high pressure
generated if the concrete is filled quickly.
 Yoke spacing is kept at 1m.
 Depending on the shape of the column, the required boxes can be made.
 The formwork has a hole at the bottom called a cleanout hole or wash out hole. Before
starting the concreting the formwork, the pieces of bricks, debris, etc. are removed through
this hole and closed.
 Water is spray inside the formwork before starting the concreting work in formwork.
 The column box is designed so that the box can be used for another column with a few
modifications.
 The nails should be kept slightly out without pressing, to make box easy to open.

2.5.5 Formwork for beam:


Formwork for beam is shown in the
figure. The formwork for beam is
usually made with the formwork of
the slab. The box for the formwork
of the beam is made of two sides
plank and the bottom plank. This
box is supported on a pillar.

2.5.6 Formwork for slab:


Formwork for slabs consists of small
beams at the head of vertical supports.
These beams are supported by planks. A
plank box is made for the end beam.
Vertical supports are strengthened by
attaching horizontal supports. Also laterals,
tapering blocks, base beams, wooden
blocks, struts, etc are used.

The following points should be kept in mind for the formwork of Slab.
1) The formwork for the slab, should be designed keeping in mind the additional 30%
weight of labor, materials, tools, etc.
2) Posts are attached with diagonal braces if needed.
3) Usually the steel formwork used for the slab and the rest of the parts of formwork are
made of timber.
4) Pillars should be supported exactly at the bottom end. Steel base plate, wooden wedge
etc. is used for this purpose.
5) The surface of formwork should be cleaned and sprinkled with water before pouring
concrete over the formwork.

2.6 REINFORCEMENT
2.6.1 What is reinforcement?
Most concrete used for construction is a combination of concrete and reinforcement that is
called reinforced concrete. Reinforcement for concrete is provided by embedding deformed
steel bars or welded wire fabric within freshly made concrete at the time of casting. The
purpose of reinforcement is to provide additional strength for concrete where it is needed. The
steel provides all the tensile strength where concrete is in tension, as in beams and slabs; it
supplements the compressive strength of concrete in columns and walls; and it provides extra
shear strength over and above that of concrete in beams.
2.6.2Material is used for reinforcement:
1. Cement
2. Aggregate:
3. Natural aggregate
4. Crushed rock aggregate
5. Gravel
6. Sand
7. Artificial aggregate.
8. steel :-At actual site- 8mm,10mm,12mm,16mm,20mm and 25mm.
9. water
2.6.3 Uses of reinforcement:-
 Ability to be bent – Rebar can be bent after being manufactured. This simplifies the
construction and provides for rapid delivery of fabricated materials.
 Robustness – Reinforcing steel is robust and able to withstand rigors of construction.
 Ability to be recycled – Rebar is able to be readily recycled at the end of the structure
design life.
 Compatibility with concrete – Reinforcing steel does not need to be tied directly to the
formwork and does not float in concrete.
 Availability – Rebar is available in every region of the country. Due to the number and
distribution of plants, the United States Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy
and Design program and other sustainability credits are availableavailable.
2.6.4 Functions of reinforcement concrete:-
There are varying reinforcements in concrete nowadays. The purpose of reinforcement are
mainly because of three reasons: Economy, Structural Integrity and Aesthetics.
Economy and Aesthetics
 Without reinforcements, required cross sectional area of concrete could be so massive
which affects both aesthetics and economical areas. Whereas having reinforcements, one

33
Government Polytechnic Ratnagiri
Industrial Training

can suit to a desired cross-sectional area of structures by compensating the “would-be”


concrete cross sectional areas thru reinforcements.
Structural Integrity
 Concrete is good in resisting compression stress but not in tensional forces. Reinforcement
like steel bars will strengthen this weak area of concrete to carry the loads.
 It takes the tensile stresses developed sure to loading conditions, as concrete is not good in
tension with minimal tensile strength (flexural stress)
 It gives ductility to the structure
 It prevents the catastrophic failure of the structure, provided the reinforcement provided in
not less than nominal requirement of the structure to be designed
 Overall it gives the stability to the structure without which the structure would not have
served the purpose for which it would be designed.
2.6.5 Types of steel reinforcement bars-
There are four types of steel reinforcement bars that are used in construction:
1.Mild Steel Plain Bars
 As opposed to other types, these bars do not have ribs on its surface. It is commonly used
for small projects with a tight budget since they’re cheaper to come by yet do not bond well
with concrete. Its tensile strength is about 40,000 psi.
 Grades in mild steel bars

1) Mild Steel Bars


 Mild steel bars grade-I designated as Fe 410-S or Grade 60.
 Mild steel bars grade-II designated as Fe-410-o or Grade 40.
 Medium Tensile Steel Bars designated as Fe- 540-w-ht or Grade 75

2. Cold Worked Steel Bars


 These bars look similar to hot rolled deformed bars, although it is worked by rolling the
steel at room temperature. Due to its working, these bars are less pliable and work best to
improve straightness and low-tolerance projects. It has a tensile strength of 60,000 psi.
3.Prestressing Steel Bars
 These bars are composed of multiple wires (called tendons) ranging from 2 to 7 strands. It
is best known for its versatile composition and impressive tensile strength. This material is
often paired with prestressed concrete found in bridges and concrete slabs in buildings. It
has a tensile strength of around 250,000 to 270,000 psi.
 Keep in mind that, while steel reinforcement bars improve the integrity of concrete
structures, it is not perfect. Concrete is a porous material that produces moisture and salt.
These can seep through and erode the steel bars’ strength over time. As a construction

34
Government Polytechnic Ratnagiri
Industrial Training

material, it is expensive and difficult to handle due to its weight. It can also melt in high
temperatures, which can be mitigated by tying the steel instead of having it welded.
4.Deformed Steel Bar
 Deformed steel bars have ribs, lugs and indentation on the surface of the bar, which reduces
the major problem that is faced by mild steel bar due to slippage and good bonding is
achieved between concrete and rebar. The tensile properties is higher compared to other
rebars. These bars are produced in sections from 6 mm to 50 mm dia.

2.6.6 Types of deformed steel bars


1)Thermo mechanical treated bars
2)High strength deformed bars
3)Deformed HSD Steel Bar
 Some reasons for using reinforced concrete
 Reinforced concrete has high fire and weather resistance.
 Reinforced concrete is versatile and can be formed into almost any shape. Required for
construction.
 Reinforced concrete has very low maintenance costs.
 Reinforced concrete is weather treated and resistant to damp conditions; this is why it is
the material of choice for dams, piers and footings.
 Reinforced concrete is more cost effective than equivalent steel structures.
 Reinforced concrete requires less skilled Labour when erecting a large structure.
 Common failure modes of steel reinforced concrete.
Reinforced concrete can fail due to inadequate strength, leading to mechanical failure, or due
to a reduction in its durability. Corrosion and freeze/thaw cycles may damage poorly designed
or constructed reinforced concrete. When rebar corrodes, the oxidation products (rust) expand
and tends to flake, cracking the concrete and unbounding the rebar from the concrete.
2.6.7 Requirements of steel:
1) It Should be easily and cheaply available in bulk.
2) It should possess high tensile stress and elasticity.
3) Its thermal coefficient of expansion should be nearly equal to that of concrete to minimize
thermal stress.
4) It should have a long and durable life so that it can render service for longer time.
5) It should be free from loose mill scales, loose rust and coat of paints, which reduce the
bond.
6) It should be capable of forming perfect bond or grip with concrete so that stresses are
transferred from one material to the other.
 Steel as Reinforcing Material:-
The steel is commonly used as reinforcing material due to its following qualities.

35

 It possesses high tensile strength and elasticity.


 Its thermal coefficient is nearly equal to that of concrete i.e and respectively.
 It develops good bond with concrete.

2.9 PAINTING
2.9.1 What is Painting?
Paints are coatings of fluid materials which are applied as a final finish to surfaces like walls,
ceiling, wood and metal works. Painting is done to protect the surface from the effects of
weathering, to prevent wood from decay and metal from corrosion, to provide a decorative
finish and to obtain a clean, hygienic and healthy living atmosphere.
2.9.2 Different Types of Paints
Asbestos Paints
Asbestos paint is a special purpose paint which is made of
fibrous asbestos. It is used for covering leakage in metal
roofs, for patch works, for protecting surfaces from acid
gases and steam. Rusting of pouts, flashings, gutters etc.
can also be prevented using asbestos paint coating.

Anti-Corrosive Paints
Anti-corrosive paints are used to resist corrosion. So, this
type of paint is widely used for metal surfaces like pipe,
external structures which may allowed to corrosive nature
etc. Linseed oil is generally used as vehicle and along with
it a strong drier is used to make anti corrosive paint. It is
very cheap and lasts longer.
Cement Based Paints
Cement based paints contains cement as the base material.
These paints contain cement, accelerator, pigment and
other additives. They are available in powder form. By
mixing water to this powder and stirred to the required
consistency the paint is obtained. Cement based paint is
water proof and can be applied in internal or external
surfaces.
Silicate Paints
Silicate paint is a mixture of silica and resinous
substances. Silica gives good adhesion to the paint which
will form hard surface after drying. This surface can resist
extreme heat with great resistance. Silicate paints never
reacts chemically with the metals. So, this type of paint
can be used in hot conditions and for metal structures.

49
Government Polytechnic Ratnagiri
Industrial Training

Plastic Paint
Plastic paints contain plastic as the base. Plastic paints dry
very quickly, provides better appearance and have high
covering power. They are used for coating walls, slabs,
decks etc

Casein Paints
Casein is a protein which is available in milk curd, is taken and is mixed with white pigments to
get casein paints. It is available in powder form or paste form. Colored pigments can be used to
get required color. Casein paints are used for coating walls, ceilings, wood works etc. But for
exterior usage, this paint should be mixed with driers.
Enamel Paints
The main constituents of enamel paints are metallic oxide, petroleum spirit, oil and resinous
matter. Enamel paint dries very slowly but after drying it forms very hard, impervious and
smooth layer. This layer cannot be affected by acids, alkalis, gas fumes, water etc. Different
colored enamel paints are available in the market. So, they are widely used for painting doors,
windows, stairs, decks etc.
Oil Paints
Oil paints are nothing but normal paints which usually contains
a base and vehicle. General base constituents used for making
oil paints are white lead, zinc white, lithopone, red lead and
titanium oxide. General vehicles used in oil paints are linseed
oil, tug oil etc. Along with base and vehicle, driers and color
pigments are also used. The driers used may be litharge, red
lead, zinc sulphate and manganese sulphate etc. Oil paints are
very economic and they can be applied in easy manner. They
are generally applied in three coats of varying composition.

2.9.3 Advantages of painting


 Increase Your Home’s Value
 Lift Your Spirits at Home
 Safeguard and Avert Damage to Your House
 Improve Your Interior
2.9.4 Disadvantages of Painting
 Only a very small range of finishes, including matte and glossy, can be produced by paint.

 Additionally, paint develops cracks over time, necessitating more frequent reapplication
and touch-ups.
 Applying paint to walls can be untidy, and it’s simple to get stains on your floors, ceilings,
furniture, or appliances.
 You may not be able to apply heavy oil-based paint yourself because it dries more slowly
than you would expect and frequently needs to be applied by a professional. Oil-based
paints are also less heat resistant and tend to flow when applied.
 Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are bad for the human body, can also be
released by paint.
 There is a greater likelihood that you will repaint more periodically even though paint lasts
5 to 10 years.
2.9.5 Process of Painting
First painters will clean building walls and ceiling
1. Apply primer.
2. Apply wall putty.
3. Apply wall putty — second coat.
4. Apply selected paint coat.
5. Apply selected paint coat — final one.

1. Applying Primer:
This is the first step in painting process.
2. Applying Putty:
This process will bring smooth surface to the walls. To identify/test smoothness you can take
a tube light and wall under that lighting, you will come to know smoothness of wall.
If plastering was not done properly then you will end up spending more amount on wall putty.
3. Applying paint:
Once putty was applied then paint quote will start. Once you finish one quote of painting
electrical people will fix switches. Carpenters can start working on wardrobes and kitchen
wood work. Once you finish all the works in house you can go for second quote.
You can paint second quote once after Gruha Pravesham because of home paint color may
change.
2.9.6 Tools required for painting work
Scraping patti, Ladder, Ghoda, Zula, distemper
brush, wash brush, oil paintbrush, fine brush; scraping
papers 60 No., 80 No., 100 No., 120 No., scraper

2.10 ROOFING
2.10.1 What is roofing?
The cover at the top a building the upper part of a cavity for surface or bed of rock immediately
overlying a bed of coal or a flat vein roof synonyms thatch is called as roof.
2.10.2 Roofing materials
 Country tiles
 Mangalore tiles
 A.C sheets
 G.I sheets
 Slates
 Lime stone slab & tiles
 Sand stone slab &tiles
 Earthen wave & stone wave
 Glazed earthen wave tiles
2.10.3 The process of roofing installation
And we’re moving directly to the process of building the roof. Let’s also assume that we’re
building a Gable roof, as opposed to a “flat” or other type of roof. A Gable roof is the most
common and popular design in the U.S., and looks like an upside down ‘V’. Assuming all
those things, our roof construction is going to involve four general categories. There will be
many tasks in each of these categories, but knowing these four steps will go a long way toward
enhancing our understanding of roofing.
1. Framing
This is the actual frame of the roof that goes up when the house is built, or is rebuilt for an
existing home. The most basic and rudimentary first step toward building a roof is having a
frame in place, and if this is not done correctly, a whole litany of future problems come into
play.
2. Sheathing
This is the first solid layer of roofing material attached to the frame of the roof. The sheath
most often consists of wood paneling cut with precision and carefully attached to the trusses
of your roof’s frame.
3. Installing the “underlayment”
A second (and very important) layer of protection is known as underlayment. This is most
often made of a material called roofing felt, which is actually an asphalt product that resembles
tar paper. As you can imagine, the primary purpose of this layer is to waterproof your roof.

4. Installing the roof cover


The outer layer of roofing, consisting of shingles, is known as the roof cover. This is your first
line of defense against wind, rain and other elements. There’s a definitely logic and system for
installing shingles properly, and many DIY roofers run into problems during this stage.
2.10.4 Precautions to be taken during the construction of roofing
1) Always begin with your pre-start talk
2) Work only during good weather conditions and avoid extreme heat/hot
3) Ladders should be stable and properly secured or tied of
4) Wear proper PPE
5) Carefully position ropes and extension cords so they're not understood.
2.10.5 Advantages of Flat roof
1) The construction and maintenance of flat roof is simpler.
2) It provides better architectural appearance to the building.
3) It avoids the need of false ceiling
4) It possesses good insulating properties
5) Pitched roof need greater area of roofing material than flat roofs.
2.10.6 Disadvantage of flat roof
1) Self weight of the flat roof is considerable which makes the roof construction more
expensive.
2) It initial cost is much more than that of pitched roof.
3) In the areas of heavy rainfall, the flat roofs are not suitable.
2.10.7 Advantages of pitched roof
1) Style
2) Thermal insulation
3) Energy savings
4) Protection against environmental hazards.
5) Longer lifespan.
2.10.8 Disadvantage of pitched roof
1) Pitched roofs place a greater burden on the foundations of the building and demand a
greater depth of the footings
2) Not feasible for buildings with multiple levels or complex plans
3) More expensive to install and maintain.
2.10.9 Necessary of a roof
A roof is the uppermost part of building, which is supported on structural members and covered
with roofing material. The main function of a roof is to enclose the space or building and to protect
the same from the damaging effect of weather elements, such as rain, wind, heat, snow, etc.

Chapter 3: FEEDBACK

We experienced various activities on site. Industrial Training is really very important for
any civil engineering students because it gives so much knowledge than theory one. It gives idea
about Practical work. The site supervisor also provided good knowledge. They show us how to
calculate quantity of material.
This training gave us the idea about actual site work. Labours also gave us knowledgable
information about site work. This training knowledge is going to be very useful for our future life.

We have experienced all things and face all the activities at the site with following things:
 Understood the equipment use.
 Understood the organizational structure.
 Known actual concepts, techniques used in construction.
 Known the problem comes on site.
 Known the duties and responsibilities of each person.
 Handling and store of materials.
 Learnt the plans of building.
 Understood the responsibilities of contractor.
 Understood the responsibilities of architecture.
 Learnt the various types of calculations.
 Learnt the various types of conversions.
 Learnt about different processes of construction activities like masonry work, concreting,
plastering, painting, flooring, provision of formwork, plumbing work, electrification work,
bar binding work, etc.
 Learnt about use of tools, equipment and devices at the construction site.
 Learnt to understand and interpretation of drawing.
 Understood the process of taking of measurements of construction components.

Thus, this training has been a very useful experience for me. The two main things
that we learnt after our experience are time management and being self-motivated.
