INTRODUCTION
TO CIVIL
MASONRY:
DEFINITION OF CIVIL MASONRY?

MASONRY IS USED TO INDICATE

THE ART OF BUILDING A
STRUCTURE IN EITHER STONES
OR BRICKS.
 IMPORTANCE IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

• THE IMPORTANCE OF CIVIL

ENGINEERING CAN BE PLACED ON
ONE REASON: MAKING THE WORLD
AN EASIER AND SAFER PLACE TO
LIVE. WITHOUT CIVIL ENGINEERS
WE WOULD NOT HAVE SAFE HOMES,
COHESIVE ROAD SYSTEMS OR
HOSPITALS.

IF A WALL HAS A BEAM, COLUMN OR THE AESTHETICS OF A BUILDING IS
OTHER WALL DIRECTLY BELOW OR ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL ASPECTS
FOLLOWING ITS SAME PATH, IT'S A CONSIDERED IN ARCHITECTURE.
LOAD-BEARING WALL. THE APPEAL OF A BUILDING COVERS
THE COMBINED EFFECTS OF A
BUILDING'S SHAPE, SIZE, TEXTURE,
COLOUR, BALANCE, UNITY,
MOVEMENT, EMPHASIS, CONTRAST,

THE BCA SETS THE MINIMUM
STANDARDS FOR THE DESIGN AND
CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS IN
AUSTRALIA, INCLUDING IN NSW. IT
COVERS VARIOUS ASPECTS,
INCLUDING STRUCTURAL
STABILITY, FIRE SAFETY, AND
ACCESSIBILITY.
 • INTRODUCTION TO CRIB STRUCTURES

DEFINITION AND
USES OF CRIB
STRUCTURES
A BOX CRIB OR CRIBBING IS A
TEMPORARY WOODEN STRUCTURE
USED TO SUPPORT HEAVY OBJECTS
DURING CONSTRUCTION,
RELOCATION, VEHICLE EXTRICATION
AND URBAN SEARCH AND RESCUE. IT
IS COMMONLY USED TO SECURE
OVERTURNED MOTOR VEHICLES, AND
DEBRIS WITHIN COLLAPSED
BUILDINGS.
COMPONENTS OF CRIB
STRUCTURES (TIMBERS,
LOGS, PRE-FABRICATED
ELEMENTS)

•A CRIB STRUCTURE IS MADE

BY PLACING A NUMBER OF
CRIBLIKE CELLS TOGETHER
AND FILLING THEM WITH SOIL
OR ROCKS TO GIVE THEM
STRENGTH AND WEIGHT. THE
CRIBS IN RETAINING WALLS
ARE MADE WITH TIMBER, AND
THE CELLS ARE FILLED WITH
EARTH TO FORM A GRAVITY
RETAINING WALL.

EXAMPLES OF CRIB
STRUCTURES IN
CIVIL ENGINEERING
•CRIBBING, ALSO KNOWN AS
FALSEWORK, IS A TEMPORARY
STRUCTURE USED TO SUPPORT
HEAVY LOADS DURING
CONSTRUCTION. IT IS TYPICALLY
MADE FROM WOODEN BEAMS OR
CONCRETE BLOCKS AND IS NOT
MEANT TO BE A PERMANENT
FIXTURE. CRIBBING IS
COMMONLY USED IN THE
CONSTRUCTION OF BRIDGES,
ROADS, AND BUILDINGS.
CONCLUSION
AND FUTURE
OUTLOOK:
•SUMMARIZE THE KEY POINTS COVERED
IN THE PRESENTATION, REITERATING
THE IMPORTANCE OF EACH STRUCTURE
TYPE IN CIVIL ENGINEERING.
•PROVIDE INSIGHT INTO THE FUTURE
TRENDS IN THE DESIGN AND
CONSTRUCTION OF CIVIL MASONRY,
CRIB, AND GABION STRUCTURES, SUCH
AS ADVANCEMENTS IN MATERIALS AND
THE GROWING EMPHASIS ON
SUSTAINABILITY.
•CLOSE WITH AN INVITATION FOR
QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION, PROVIDING
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR AUDIENCE
ENGAGEMENT.
