LAYOUT AND EXCAVATION

SPIRIT LEVEL - INSTRUMENT OR TOOL CAPABLE OF VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL
LINE CHECK.
PLUMB BOB - ITS USES FOR VERTICAL LINE CHECK.
PLASTIC HOSE FILLED W/ WATER A METHOD OF LEVELLING (HORIZONTAL)
BATTERBOARDS WITHOUT TRANSIT.
3-4-5 MULTIPLES W/ THE USE OF STEEL TAPE MEASURE A MANUAL METHOD OF
SQUARING THE CORNERS OF BUILDING LINES IN BUILDING LAYOUT.
SHEET PILLING A BARRIER FORMED TO PREVENT THE MOVEMENT OF SOIL TO
STABILIZE FOUNDATION.
LAYOUT AND EXCAVATIONS
LAYOUT IS SOMETIMES CALLED STAKING OUT! WHICH MEANS THE PROCESS
OF RELOCATING THE POINT OF BOUNDARIES AND PROPERTY LINE OF THE SITE WHERE
THE BUILDING IS TO BE CONSTRUCTED.
IT INCLUDES CLEARING" STAKING" BATTER BOARDS AND ESTABLISHES THE
E#ACT LOCATION OF THE BUILDING FOUNDATION AND WALL LINE ON THE GROUND.
STAKE ARE WOODEN STICKS USED AS POSTS SHARPENED AT ONE END DRIVEN
INTO THE GROUND TO SERVE AS BOUNDARIES OR SUPPORTS OF THE BATTER
BOARDS.
BATTER BOARD WOOD STICK OR BOARD NAILED HORIZONTALLY AT THE STAKE
WHICH SERVE AS THE HORIZONTAL PLANE WHERE THE REFERENCE POINT OF THE
BUILDING MEASUREMENTS ARE ESTABLISHED.
STRING IS EITHER PLASTIC CHORD OR GALVANIZED WIRE ACROSS THE BATTER
BOARDS USED TO INDICATE THE OUTLINE OF THE BUILDING WALL AND
FOUNDATION.
LAYOUT METHODS AND PROCEDURES
$. BEFORE THE CONSTRUCTION BEGINS" SEE TO IT THAT A BUILDING PERMIT IS
FIRST SECURED FROM THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES CONCERNED.
%. RELOCATE THE BOUDARIES OF THE CONSTRUCTION SITE. IT IS SUGGESTED
THAT THE RELOCATION OF THE PROPERTY LINE SHALL BE DONE BY GEODETIC
ENGINEER SPECIALLY FOR THOSE LOTS WITHOUT E#ISTING REFERENCE
POINTS OR AD&OINING STRUCTURES.
'. CLEAR THE SITE OF ANY E#ISTING STRUCTURE" TREES" AND OTHER ELEMENTS
THAT WILL OBSTRUCT THE CONSTRUCTION WORK.
(. CONSTRUCT AND ALLOCATE A SPACE FOR LABORERS QUARTERS"
CONSTRUCTION OFFICE" BODEGA FOR THE MATERIALS AND WORKING TOOLS
AND TEMPORARY WASTE DISPOSAL.
). APPLY FOR A TEMPORARY CONNECTIONS OF ELECTRIC AND WATER SUPPLY.
ELECTRIC CURRENT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE POWER NEEDS OF THE TOOLS AND
EQUIPMENT AND IS NECESSARY ON OVERTIME SCHEDULES ESPECIALLY IN THE
TIME OF CONCRETING. WATER IS ALSO A PRIME NEED IN CONSTRUCTION.
*. CONSTRUCT A TEMPORARY FENCE AROUND THE CONSTRUCTION.
+. VERIFY THE MEASUREMENT IN THE PLAN IF THE DISTANCES INDICATED ARE
FORM,
CENTER TO CENTER
OUTER TO CENTER
OUTER TO OUTER
INSIDE TO INSIDE
-. FI# THE BATTER BOARD TO ITS HORIZONTAL POSITION WITH THE AID OF LEVEL
INSTRUMENT PREFERABLY PLASTIC HOSE WITH WATER.
.. AFTER ESTABLISHING THE REFERENCE POINT AND LINE OF THE FOOTING"
TRANSFER THE INTERSECTING POINTS OF THE STRING ON THE GROUND BY THE
AID OF PLUMB BOB AND INDICATE THE SIZE AND WIDTH TO BE E#CAVATED.
EXCAVATION
E#CAVATION WORK IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION IS CATEGORIZED INTO TWO
TYPES, THE MINOR AND MA&OR E#CAVATION DEPENDING UPON THE SIZE AND NATURE
OF THE FOUNDATION TO BE CONSTRUCTED. E#CAVATION FOR A SMALL CONSTRUCTION
WITH INDEPENDENT WALL" OR COMBINED FOOTING IS CLASSIFIED UNDER THE MINOR
E#CAVATION" WHILE THE REST WHICH REQUIRES SIZEABLES OR TOTAL E#TRACTION OF
THE EARTH FALL UNDER THE CATEGORY OF MA&OR CONSTRUCTION.
MINOR EXCAVATION
E#CAVATION UNDER THIS CATEGORY ARE THOSE CONSTRUCTION HAVING
INDEPENDENT FOOTING AND HOLLOW BLOCK WALL FOOTING WHERE THE DIGGING OF
THE SOIL FOR THE FOOTING E#TEND TO A DEPTH FROM $.// TO $.)/ METER AND ABOUT
HALF A METER DEPTH FOR THE WALL FOOTING.
MAJOR EXCAVATION
BUILDING CONSTRUCTION THAT REQUIRES WIDE E#CAVATION OR TOTAL
E#TRACTION OF THE SOIL ARE CLASSIFIED INTO TWO CATEGORIES DEPENDING UPON
THE CONDITION OR LOCATION OF THE SITE. WHEN THE AREA OF THE CONSTRUCTION
SITE IS BIG THAT THERE IS ENOUGH SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE WORKING ACTIVITIES"
STORING OF MATERIALS AND DUMPING GROUND FOR THE E#CAVATED SOIL.
BUILDING CONSTRUCTION ON A BUSY COMMERCIAL CENTER WITH AD&ACENT
E#ISTING STRUCTURE IS CONSIDERED TO THE MOST COMPLICATED AMONG THE
VARIOUS CONSTRUCTION WORKS SINCE THIS REQUIRES CAREFUL STUDY AND ANALYSIS
OF THE RIGHT APPROACH.
PROBLEMS MIGHT BE ENCOUNTER:
$. THE MANNER OF THE E#CAVATION TO BE EMPLOYED WHICH WILL NOT AFFECT OR
DAMAGED THE AD&OINING STRUCTURE.
%. THE KIND OF EQUIPMENT TO BE USED IN THE DIGGING AND E#TRACTING THE
GROUND MAY NOT BE A PROBLEM BUT THE PLACE WHERE TO STATION THE
EQUIPMENT DURING THE OPERATION.
'. HOW AND WHERE TO DISPOSE THE E#TRACTED SOIL INVOLVES THE EFFECTIVE
MANNER OF MANEUVERING THE PAYLOAD AND DRUMPTRUCKS IN HAULING
WITHOUT OBSTRUCTING THE PEDESTRIAN AND VEHICULAR TRAFFIC FLOW.
(. WHERE TO DISPOSE THE UNDERGROUND WATER TO BE DRAINED BY THE WATER
PUMP DURING THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTION WHICH MIGHT CAUSE MUDDY
ROAD AND CREATE INCONVENIENCE TO TRAFFIC.
). THE KIND OF SHEETING AND BRACING TO BE USED IN SHORING OR UNDERSPINNING
TO PROTECT THE AD&OINING STRUCTURE MUST BE CONSIDERED.
FOUNDATION AND FOOTING
THE FUNCTION OF A FOUNDATION IS TO TRANSFER THE STRUCTURAL LOADS
FROM A BUILDING SAFELY INTO THE GROUND.
ALL FOUNDATIONS SETTLE TO SOME E#TENT AS THE SOIL AROUND BENEATH
THEM AD&UST ITSELF TO THESE LOADS.
UNIFORM SETTLEMENT IS USUALLY OF LITTLE CONSEQUENCES IN A BUILDING"
BUT A DIFFERENTIAL SETTLEMENT CAN CAUSE SEVERE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE.
3 MAJOR PARTS OF A BUILDING:
SUPERSTRUCTURE WHICH IS THE ABOVE GROUND PORTION OF THE BUILDING.
SUBSTRUCTURE WHICH IS THE HABITABLE BELOW-GROUND PORTION.
FOUNDATION WHICH ARE THE COMPONENTS OF THE BUILDING THAT TRANSFER
ITS LOAD INTO THE SOIL.
' TYPES OF SUBSTRUCTURES,
SLAB ON FILL
CRAWLSPACE
BASEMENT
BASIC TYPES OF FOUNDATIONS:
SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS ARE THOSE THAT TRANSFER THE LOAD TO THE EARTH AT
THE BASE OF THE COLUMN OR WALL OF THE SUBSTRUCTURE.
DEEP FOUNDATIONS TRANSFER THE LOAD AT A POINT FAR BELOW THE
SUBSTRUCTURE.
FOUNDATION IS THAT PORTION OF THE STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS THAT CARRY OR
SUPPORT THE SUPERSTRUCTURE OF THE BUILDING.
FOOTING IS THAT PORTION OF THE FOUNDATION OF THE STRUCTURE WHICH
DIRECTLY TRANSMIT THE COLUMN LOAD TO THE UNDERLYING SOIL OR ROCK" FOOTING
IS THE LOWER PORTION OF THE FOUNDATION STRUCTURE.
FOUNDATION BED - REFERS TO THE SOIL OR ROCK DIRECTLY BENEATH THE
FOOTING.
PILE FOUNDATION WHEN A FOUNDATION BED IS TOO WEAK TO SUPPORT A RAFT
FOOTING" THERE IS AN URGENT NEED TO PROVIDE A SUITABLE MATERIALS WHERE TO
TRANSFER THE E#CESS LOAD TO A GREATER DEPTH WHEREIN PILES IS THE ANSWER.
PILE IS A STRUCTURAL MEMBER OF SMALL CROSS-SECTIONAL AREA WITH
REASONABLE LENGTH DRIVEN DOWN THE GROUND BY MEANS OF HAMMERS OR
VIBRATORY GENERATOR.
PILE IS DISTINGUISHED FROM A CAISSON BY BEING DRIVEN INTO PLACE RATHER
THAN DRILED 0 POURED.
PILES ARE GENERALLY DRIVEN CLOSELY TOGETHER IN CLUSTERS CONTAINING
FROM TWO TO TWENTY-FIVE PILES. EACH CLUSTER IS LATER &OINED AT THE TOP BY A
REINFORCED CONCRETE PILE CAP.
PILE CAP DISTRIBUTES THE LOAD OF THE COLUMN OR WALL EQUALLY AMONG
THE PILES.
CAISSONS IS SIMILAR TO A COLUMN FOOTING IN THAT IT SPREADS THE LOAD
FROM A COLUMN OVER A LARGE ENOUGH AREA OF SOIL.
FOUNDATION WALL THAT PART OF THE BUILDING FOUNDATION WHICH FORMS
THE PERMANENT RETAINING WALL OF THE STRUCTURE BELOW GRADE.
GRADE BEAM THAT PART OF A FOUNDATION SYSTEM W1C SUPPORTS THE
E#TERIOR WALL OF THE SUPERSTRUCTURE AND BEARS DIRECTLY ON THE COLUMN
FOOTING.
RETAINING WALL A WALL OR LATERALLY BRACED" THAT BEARS AGAINST AN
EARTH OR OTHER FILL SURFACE AND RESISTS LATERAL AND OTHER FORCES.
CANTILEVER WALL A REINFORCED CONCRETE WALL WHICH RESIST
OVERTURNING BY THE USE OF CANTILEVER FOOTING.
GRAVITY WALL A MASSIVE CONCRETE WALL THAT RESIST OVERTURNING BY
VIRTUE OF ITS OWN WEIGHT.
BEARING WALL A WALL CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING AN IMPOSED LOAD.
FOOTING ARE CLASSIFIED INTO TWO TYPES:
WALL FOOTING OR STRIP FOOTING IS A STRIP OF REINFORCED CONCRETE WIDER
THAN THE WALL WHICH DISTRIBUTES THE LOAD TO THE SOIL.
A STEEL PERCENTAGE EQUALS TO /.% TO /.'2 OF THE CROSS SECTIONAL AREA
OF CONCRETE IS SAID TO BE ADEQUATE E#CEPT ON UNUSUAL CASES.
COLUMN FOOTING IS CLASSIFIED INTO THE FOLLOWING TYPES,
$. ISOLATED OR INDEPENDENT FOOTING IS A KIND OF FOOTING REPRESENTS THE
SIMPLEST AND MOST ECONOMICAL TYPE" IN THE FORM OF,
SQUARE BLOCK FOOTING
SQUARE SLOPE FOOTING
SQUARE STEPPED FOOTING
%. COMBINED FOOTING IS USED WHEN TWO OR MORE COLUMNS ARE SPACED
CLOSELY TO EACH OTHER THAT THEIR FOOTING WILL ALMOST OR COMPLETELY
MERGE. ITS EITHER ,
RECTANGULAR
TRAPEZOIDAL
'. CONTINUOUS FOOTING IS SOMETIMES CLASSIFIED AS WALL FOOTING WHICH
SUPPORT SEVERAL COLUMNS IN A ROW. ITS EITHER,
INVERTED SLAB FOOTING
INVERTED TEE FOOTING
(. RAFT OR MAT FOOTING ITS OCCUPIES THE ENTIRE AREA BENEATH THE
STRUCTURE AND CARRY THE WALL AND THE COLUMN LOADS.
UNIFORM SLAB
THICKENED SLAB
BEAM 0 GIRDER
CONCRETE
CONCRETE IS AN ARTIFICIAL STONE MADE OUT FROM THE MI#TURE OF
CEMENT" SAND" GRAVEL AND WATER. THIS IS KNOWN AS SOLID MASS OR PLAIN
CONCRETE. CONCRETE IN WHICH REINFORCEMENT IS EMBEDDED IN SUCH A MANNER
THAT THE TWO MATERIALS ACT TOGETHER IN RESISTING FORCES IS CALLED
REINFORCED CONCRETE!
SLUMP TEST A READY MEANS OF DETERMINING THE CONSISTENCY OF FRESHLY
MI#ED CONCRETE.
DESIGNING OF CONCRETE MI#TURE IS BASED ON THE WATER-CEMENT RATIO.
/.*- 34. OF WATER 1 34. OF CEMENT WILL PRODUCE CONCRETE CAPABLE OF

SOMETIMES FILLED WITH GROUT OR CONCRETE FOR CORROSION.
METAL REINFORCEMENT
THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF STRESSES THAT MAY ACT ON THE STRUCTURE ARE:
$. COMPRESSION STRESS
%. TENSION STRESS
'. SHEAR STRESS
(. TORSION STRESS
REINFORCEMENT NEED TO PROVIDE ON BEAM TO RESPONSE TO POSITIVE AND
NEGATIVE BENDING WHICH MAY CAUSE FAILURE OR COLLAPSE OF THE
STRUCTURE.
REINFORCED CONCRETE IS A COMBINATION OF CONCRETE AND STEEL.
CONCRETE IS STRONG IN SUPPORTING COMPRESSION LOAD BUT WEAK IN
RESISTING TENSION FORCES.
STEEL POSSESSES THE STRENGTH TO RESIST BOTH COMPRESSION AND TENSION.
BALANCE BEAM WHEN THE AREA OF THE CONCRETE AND STEEL ARE &UST
ENOUGH TO CARRY THE COMPRESSION AND TENSION FORCES SIMULTANEOUSLY.
INFLECTION POINTS REFER TO THE PORTION OF A BEAM WHERE BENDING
MOMENT CHANGES FROM POSITIVE TO NEGATIVE.
NO BENT BARS WHEN BARS ARE NOT BENT" AN ADDITIONAL STRAIGHT
REINFORCING BARS ARE PLACED ON THE TOP OF THE BEAM ACROSS THE SUPPORTS
E#TENDED TO THE REQUIRED LENGTH.
BENT REINFORCING BARS ARE BENT UP ON OR NEAR THE INFLECTION POINT
AND ARE E#TENDED AT THE TOP OF THE BEAM ACROSS THE SUPPORT TOWARDS THE
AD&ACENT SPAN.

FLOOR FRAMING IS THAT PLATFORM STRUCTURE OF THE BUILDING
SUSPENDED BY POSTS" COLUMNS" WALLS AND BEAMS.
THE DESIGN OF A PLATFORM FLOOR SYSTEM DEPENDS UPON THE FOLLOWING
CONSIDERATIONS,
$. LIVE LOAD REFERS TO THOSE MOVABLE LOADS IMPOSED ON THE
FLOOR.
%. DEAD LOAD REFERS TO THE STATIC LOAD SUCH AS THE WEIGHT OF
THE CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS WHICH GENERALLY CARRY THE
LIVE LOAD.
'. TYPES OF MATERIALS TO BE USED THE CHOICE FROM THE
VARIOUS CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS SUCH AS LUMBER" CONCRETE"
AND STEEL.
(. THE SI%ING AND SPACING OF THE STRUCTURAL MEMBERS
DEPENDS UPON ITS STRENGTH AND CAPABILITY TO CARRY THE LOAD
AT A CERTAIN SPACING.
). SPAN OF THE SUPPORTS PERTAINS TO THE DISTANCES BETWEEN
THE POSTS" COLUMNS OR SUPPORTING WALLS.
THE PLATFORM - FLOOR FRAMING STRUCTURE IS CLASSIFIED INTO THE FOLLOWING
TYPES:
A. THE PLANK AND BEAM FLOOR TYPE
B. THE PANELIZED-FLOOR SYSTEM
C. THE CONVENTIONAL FLOOR FRAMING SYSTEM
THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF A PLATFORM FLOOR SYSTEM ARE,

WEB REINFORCEMENT
WEB REINFORCEMENT IS THE SAME AS THEIR STIRRUPS USED IN THE BEAM TO
HOLD THE REINFORCEMENT IN ITS DESIGNED POSITION. THE WEB REINFORCEMENT IS
NOT ONLY INTENDED TO HOLD THE REINFORCEMENT AND PROVIDE LATERAL SUPPORT
BUT ALSO SERVES TO RESIST DIAGONAL TENSION AND COUNTERACT THE SHEAR ACTION
ON THE STRUCTURE. THE VERTICAL STIRRUPS SHOULD ENCIRCLE THE MAIN
REINFORCEMENT AND HOOK BENT WITH A DIAMETER NOT LESS THAN ) TIMES THE
DIAMETER OF THE STIRRUPS AT ITS END AND SECURED PROPERLY TO PREVENT SLIPPING
OF THE MAIN REINFORCEMENT IN THE CONCRETE.

DIRECTION. MADE OF SOLID SLAB SUPPORTED BY TWO PARALLEL BEAMS. IT IS
COMPARATIVELY ECONOMICAL FOR A MEDIUM AND HEAVY LIVE LOADS ON SHORT
SPANS RANGING FROM %.// TO '.)/ METERS LONG. ALTHOUGH THE REINFORCEMENTS
ARE ALSO PLACED IN THE SLAB PARALLEL WITH THE BEAMS PERPENDICULAR WITH THE
MAIN REINFORCEMENTS CALLED TEMPERATURE REINFORCEMENTS!. USUALLY NO. '
STEEL BAR IS USED TO COUNTERACT THE EFFECT OF SHRINKAGE AND CHANGES IN
TEMPERATURE. IT ALSO DISTRIBUTES POSSIBLE CONCENTRATION OF LOADS OVER A
LARGER AREA.
TWO WAY SLAB SLAB WHICH ARE SUPPORTED ON FOUR SIDES WHERE THE
FLOOR PANEL IS NEARLY SQUARE IS GENERALLY ECONOMICAL TO EMPLOY THE TWO
DIRECTIONS OF REINFORCING BARS PLACED AT RIGHT ANGLE WITH EACH OTHER.

FORM' SCAFFOLDING AND STAGING
FORM IS A TEMPORARY BOARDING" SHEATING OR PANS USED TO PRODUCE
THE DESIRED SHAPE AND SIZE OF CONCRETE. FORMS ARE USED IN CONCRETE
CONSTRUCTION. STRUCTURAL MEMBERS OF A BUILDING ARE BUILT-UP INTO ITS
SPECIFIED DIMENSIONS BY THE USE OF FORMS THAT SERVES AS MOULD FOR THE MI#ED
CONCRETE.
FORMS SHOULD BE WATERTIGHT" RIGID AND STRONG ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN
THE WEIGHT OF CONCRETE. IT SHOULD BE SIMPLE AND ECONOMICALLY DESIGNED TO
BE REMOVE EASILY AND REASSEMBLED WITHOUT DAMAGE TO THEMSELVES OR TO THE
CONCRETE.
FACTORS CONSIDERED IN THE SELECTION OF FORMS ARE,
COST OF MATERIALS
THE CONSTRUCTION AND ASSEMBLING COST
THE NUMBER OF TIMES IT COULD BE USED
STRENGTH AND RESISTANCE TO PRESSURE AND THE TEAR 0 WEAR
WOOD BOARD AND PLYWOOD FORMS
WOOD FORM IS THE MOST COMMON AND WIDELY USED FORMS IN MINOR OR
MA&OR CONSTRUCTION.
PLYWOOD AS FORM IS GENERALLY ECONOMICAL BOTH IN LABOR AND MATERIALS.
PLYWOOD HAS PLAIN EVEN SURFACE WITH UNIFORM THICKNESS.
IT OFFERS FITTED &OINTS" ELIMINATE DRESSING" PLANING OF THE SURFACE WHICH
IS NORMAL TO WOODEN BOARDS FORMS.
THE LAMINATED CROSS-GRAINED OF PLYWOOD HAS MADE THE BOARD STRONGER
AND FREE FROM WARPING.
PLYWOOD IS LIGHT-WEIGHT" HANDY AND FAST TO WORK ON.
PRODUCE SMOOTH FINISHES OF CONCRETE THAT SOMETIMES NEED LITTLE OR NO
PLASTERING AT ALL.
METAL FORM ARE SELDOM USED IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION BECAUSE OF
THE VARIED DESIGNS AND SHAPES OF THE STRUCTURES. ALTHOUGH METAL FORMS ARE
E#TENSIVELY USED ON ROAD CONSTRUCTION. METAL FORMS ARE GENERALLY MADE
OUT OF G.I. SHEET" OR BLACK IRON SHEET" SUPPORTED BY FLAT AND ANGLE BARS

PRECAST AND PRESTRESSED CONSTRUCTION
INTRODUCTION
THE INTRODUCTION OF PRECAST-CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION WAS BROUGHT
ABOUT BY BUILDING COSTS THAT HAS CONSIDERABLY INCREASED FASTER THAT MOST
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THE LARGE AMOUNT OF ON-SITE
LABOR INVOLVED IN THE TRADITIONAL METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION.
THE DEMAND FOR SKILLED WORKERS ON ON-SITE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
IS INCREASINGLY OUTRUNNING THE SUPPLY. THE ANSWER TO THERE PROBLEMS WERE
BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE INDUSTRIALIZATION OF CONSTRUCITON AND SUBSTITUTION
OF SITE LABOR BY FACTORY PRODUCED PRECAST CONCRETE STRUCTURE WHICH HAS
RAPIDLY DEVELOPED AND GAINED IMPORTANCE.
THE CONCRETE IS CAST IN PERMANENT FORMS OF STEEL" CONCRETE" GLASS-
FIBER-REINFORCED PLASTIC.
THE WET CONCRETE IS VIBRATED MECHANICALLY IN THE FORMS TO ACHIEVE
MA#IMUM DENSITY AND HIGHEST SURFACE QUALITY.
CONCRETE STRENGTH IN PRECAST IS USUALLY )/// PSI" WHILE %+/"/// PSI FOR
STRENGTH OF STEEL.
PRECAST CONCRETE ELEMENTS ARE USUALLY STEAM CURED WITH THE USE
OF HIGH EARLY STRENGTH CEMENT TO ENABLE A PRECAST TO REMOVE IN FORM IN %(
HOURS.
FORMS ARE CALLED CASTING BEDS. THE CASTING BEDS AVERAGE $%) METERS
TO E#TEND %)/ METERS IN LENGTH.
TYPES OF PRECAST STRUCTURE
WALL PANELS THIS TYPE OF PRECAST STRUCTURE HAS NUMEROUS DESIGNS
DEPENDING UPON THE ARCHITECTURAL REQUIREMENTS. THE COMMON SHAPES
PRODUCED FOR ONE TO FOUR STOREY HIGH STRUCTURES ARE SECTIONS HAVING A
WIDTH UP TO %.(/ 7. THEY ARE USED AS CURTAIN WALLS ATTACHED TO COLUMNS AND
BEAMS OR SOMETIMES AS BEARING WALLS.
THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF WALL PANELS ARE,
$. FLAT TYPE
%. DOUBLE TEE TYPE
'. RIBBED TYPE
(. WINDOW OR MULLION TYPE

TO IMPROVE THE THERMAL INSULATION OF THE PANEL" FOAM GLASS" GLASS
FIBER OR E#PANDED PLASTIC IS INSERTED BETWEEN TWO LAYERS OF LIGHTWEIGHT
CONCRETE ADEQUATELY BONDED INTERCONNECTING THE TWO LAYERS TO ACT AS ONE
UNIT. STRESSES IN HANDLING AND ERECTION OF THE MEMBER IS MORE THAN THAT OF
THE FINISHED FILLED STRUCTURE" HENCE" CONTROL OF CRACKING IS OF GREAT
IMPORTANCE.
PRECAST COLUMN
PRECAST COLUMN SIZES ARE FROM .'/ @ .'/7. AB .*/ @ .*/7. IN A MULTI-STOREY
CONSTRUCTION" THE COLUMNS ARE MADE CONTINUOUS UP TO FOUR STORIES WHEREIN
CORBELS ARE USED TO PROVIDE BEARING FOR THE BEAM. TEE COLUMN IS SOMETIMES
USED TO SUPPORT DIRECTLY DOUBLE TEE FLOOR MEMBERS WITHOUT THE USE OF
INTERMEDIATE MEMBERS.
PRECAST BEAMS
THE SHAPE OF PRECAST BEAMS DEPENDS UPON THE MANNER OF FRAMING.
THE VARIOUS SHAPES ARE,
RECTANGULAR BEAM
INVERTED TEE BEAM
L &SHAPED BEAM

JOINING PRECAST CONCRETE ELEMENTS
BOLTING" WELDING" AND GROUTING ARE ALL COMMONLY EMPLOYED IN THESE
CONNECTIONS. E#POSED METAL CONNECTORS NOT COVERED BY TOPPING ARE
USUALLY DRY PACKED WITH STIFF GROUT AFTER BEING &OINED" TO PROTECT THEM
FROM FIRE AND CORROSION.
THE SIMPLEST &OINTS IN PRECAST CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION ARE THOSE
THAT RELY UPON GRAVITY BY PLACING ONE ELEMENT ON TOP OF ANOTHER" AS IS DONE
WHERE SLAB ELEMENTS REST ON A BEARING WALL OR BEAM" OR WHERE A BEAM RESTS
ON THE CORBEL OF A COLUMN. BEARING PADS ARE USUALLY INSERTED BETWEEN THE
CONCRETE MEMBERS AT BEARING POINTS TO AVOID THE CONCRETE-TO-CONCRETE
CONTACT THAT MIGHT CREATE POINTS OF HIGH STRESS. BEARING PADS ALSO ALLOW
FOR E#PANSION AND CONTRACTION IN THE MEMBERS. FOR SOLID AND HOLLOW-CORE
SLABS THESE PADS ARE STRIPS OF HIGH-DENSITY PLASTIC. UNDER ELEMENTS WITH
HIGHER POINT LOADING SUCH AS TEES AND BEAMS" PADS OF SYNTHETIC RUBBER
AREUSED.
PRESTRESSING OF CONCRETE
THERE ARE SEVERAL METHODS EMPLOYED IN APPLYING PRESTRESSED FORCE
TO A CONCRETE BEAM,
PRECOMPRESSING METHOD IS A PROCESS OF USING &ACKS REACTING AGAINST
ABUTMENT.
SELF-CONTAINED METHOD THE PROCESS IS DONE BY TYING THE &ACK BASE
TOGETHER WITH WIRES OR CABLES LOCATED ON EACH SIDE OF THE BEAM.
USUALLY THE WIRES AND CABLES ARE PRESSED THROUGH A HOLLOW CONDUIT
EMBEDDED IN THE CONCRETE BEAM. ONE END OF THE TENDON IS ANCHORED AND
FORCES ARE APPLIED AT THE OTHER END. AFTER ATTAINING THE DESIRED
PRESTRESS FORCE" THE TENDON IS THEN WEDGED AGAINST THE CONCRETE"
REMOVING THE &ACK EQUIPMENT.
BOND FRICTION THE PRESTRESSING STRANDS ARE STRETCHED BETWEEN
MASSIVE ABUTMENT PRIOR TO CASTING OF CONCRETE IN THE BEAM FORMS.
AFTER THE CONCRETE HAS GAINED SUFFICIENT STRENGTH" THE &ACKS ARE THEN
RELEASED TRANSFERRING THE PRESTRESSED FORCE TO THE CONCRETE BY BOND
AND FRICTION ALONG THE STRANDS.
THE SELF CONTAINED AND THE BOND AND FRICTION METHODS CAN
GENERALLY BE CLASSIFIED AS PRE-TENSIONING OR POST-TENSIONING SYSTEM. THESE
METHODS CAN BE APPLIED TO MASS PRODUCTION OF CASTING SEVERAL METERS LONG
OF STRUCTURE AND CUTTING THE INDIVIDUAL BEAM OR POST TO THE DESIRED LENGTH
OUT FROM THE LONG CASTING.
THERMAL PRESTRESSING THE STEEL IS PREHEATED BY MEANS OF ELECTRIC
POWER WHICH ARE ANCHORED AGAINST THE OPPOSITE END OF THE CONCRETE
BEAM. THE COOLING PROCESS PRODUCES PRESTRESS FORCE THROUGH
RESTRAINED CONTRACTION.
THE CAUSES OF PRESTRESS LOSSES ARE,
$. SLIP AT ANCHORAGE
%. ELASTIC SHORTENING OF CONCRETE
'. CREEP OF CONCRETE
(. SHRINKAGE OF CONCRETE
). RELA#ATION OF STEEL STRESS
*. FRICTIONAL LOSS DUE TO INTENDED OR UNINTENDED CURVATURE IN THE
TENDONS.
CONCRETE FOR PRESTRESSING
CONCRETE OF HIGHER COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH IS USED FOR PRESTRESSED
STRUCTURES. MOST OF THE PRESTRESSED CONSTRUCTION SPECIFY A COMPRESSIVE
STRENGTH OF CONCRETE BETWEEN (("/// AB *"/// EC;) %-/-(%% 56187% BECAUSE OF THE
FOLLOWING ADVANTAGES THAT IT OFFERS.
A) HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE HAS A HIGHER MODULUS OF
ELASTICITY. IT MINIMIZE THE REDUCTION OF PRESTRESS LOSS.
B) INCREASING THE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF THE CONCRETE
MEETS THE PROBLEM OF HIGH BEARING STRESSES AT THE ENDS OF
POST AND BEAM WHERE THE PRESTRESSING FORCE IS TRANSFERRED
FROM THE TENDON TO THE ANCHORAGE DOWELS WHICH DIRECTLY
BEARS AGAINST THE CONCRETE.
C) HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE DEVELOPS STRONGER BOND
PRESTRESSES TO PRETENSIONING CONSTRUCTION.
D) HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE GIVES HIGHER STRENGTH TO PRECAST
CONSTRUCTION WHEN CURING IS CAREFULLY CONTROLLED.
MEASUREMENT OF PRESTRESSING FORCE
PRESTRESSING FORCE COULD BE DETERMINED BY,
$. MEASURING THE TENDON ELONGATION.
%. EITHER BY CHECKING &ACK PRESSURE ON A CALIBRATED GAGE OR
LOAD CELL OR BY THE USED OF CALIBRATED DYNAMOMETER.
POST TENSIONING THE STRESSING OF UNBONDED TENDONS AFTER CONCRETE
HAS CURED.
BUILDING MATERIALS
WOOD MATERIALS
WOOD HAS DURABILITY AND BEAUTY. IT HAS GREAT ABILITY TO ABSORB SHOCKS
FROM SUDDEN LOAD AND LIGHT IN WEIGHT WHICH ADAPTABLE IN A COUNTLESS
VARIETY OF PURPOSES.
TWO MAJOR CLASSIFICATION OF WOOD:
SOFTWOOD THESE ARE USED FOR GENERAL CONSTRUCTION.
HARDWOOD THESE ARE USED FOR FLOORING, STAIRS, PANELLING,
FURNITURES AND INTERIOR TRIM.
PROPERTIES OF WOOD:
HARDNESS MEASURED BY THE COMPRESSION, WHICH A PIECE
UNDERGOES WHEN A WEIGHT IS APPLIED.
FLEXIBILITY THE AMOUNT A PIECE WILL BEND BEFORE BREAKING.
STRENGTH TO THE GRAIN.
DURABILITY THE RELATIVE VALUE / LIFESPAN OF WOOD.
DEFECTS OF LUMBER:
DECAY CAUSED BY THE ATTACKED OF FUNGI.
CHECKS CRACKS OR LENGTH WISE SEPARATION ACROSS THE
ANNUAL RINGS OF GROWTH.
KNOTS IRREGULAR GROWTHS IN THE BODY WHICH INTERRUPS
SMOOTH CURVE.
PITCH POCKETS WELL REFINED OPENINGS BETWEEN ANNUAL RINGS
CONTAINING SOLID OR LIQUID PITCH.
WANE IS THE LACK OF WOOD ON THE EDGE OR CORNER OF A PIECE.
TYPES OF WARPING:
CUPPING IS A DISTORTION OF THE BOARD IN WHICH THE FACE IS
CONVEX/CONCAVE ACROSS THE BOARD.
BOWING IS A DISTORTION OF THE BOARD IN WHICH THE FACE IS
CONVEX/CONCAVE LONGITUDINALLY.
TWISTING IS A DISTORTION OF THE BOARD IN WHICH ONE CORNER IS
RAISED.
DEFINITION OF TERMS:
STRIPS PIECES LESS THAN 2 THICK AND LESS THAN WIDE.
BOARDS PIECES LESS THAN 2 THICK AND AT LEAST WIDE.
DIMENSION LUMBER PIECES MORE THAN 2 THICK AND LESS THAN !
IN ANY DIMENSION.
TIMBER PIECES " OR MORE ON THE SMALLEST DIMENSION.
LOG PIECES #2 OR MORE ON THE SMALLEST DIMENSION.
THREE CATEGORIES OF LUMBER:
YARD LUMBER USED FOR ORDINARY LIGHT CONSTRUCTION AND
FINISHING WORK. COMMONLY USED FOR FLOORING, PLANK SIDING,
TRIM AND MOULDING.
SHOP LUMBER IT IS INTENDED FOR USE IN SHOPS OR IN MILLS
MAKING SASH, DOORS, AND CABINETS.
STRUCTURAL LUMBER IS INTENDED FOR USE IN HEAVY
CONSTRUCTION FOR LOAD$BEARING PURPOSES AND IS CUT INTO
TIMBERS OF LARGER SI%E.
WOOD GRAIN:
EDGE GRAIN ANNUAL RINGS RUN APPROX. AT RIGHT ANGLE TO THE
FACE.
FLAT GRAIN WHEN THE ANNUAL RINGS RUN MORE OR LESS PARALLEL
TO THE SURFACE.
ANGLE GRAIN WHEN THE ANNUAL RINGS ARE AT ABOUT "! DEG. TO
THE FACE.
SEASONING OF LUMBER:
AIR DRYING LUMBER IS STRIP$PILED AT ASLOPE ON ASOLID
FOUNDATION. THIS ALLOWS AIR TO CIRCULATE AROUND EVERY PIECE
WHILE THE SLOPING ALOOWS WATER TO RUN OFF QUICKLY.
KILN-DRYING MORE EXPENSIVE LUMBER WHICH IS REQUIRED FOR
MORE REFINED USES SO AS WOOD WILL NOT MOVE. IT MUST BE DRIED
TO A MOISTURE CONTENT OF NOT MORE THAN ! TO #& PERCENT. THIS
IS DONE IN AN AIRTIGHT STRUCTURE SCIENTIFICALLY HEATED BY
STEAM PIPES IN WHICH THE LUMBER IS ARTIFICIALLY DRIED TO THE
CORRECT MOISTURE CONTENT.
MANUFACTURE BOARDS:
MANUFACTURED BOARDS ARE MADE OF WOOD BUT DOES NOT
APPEAR IN THEIR NATURAL STATE. THIS TYPE OF BUILDING MATERIALS CAN BE
CLASSIFIED AS A TYPE OF LUMBER AS THEY ARE THE BY$PRODUCT IN THE
MANUFACTURE OF LUMBER. THE COMPLETE UTILI%ATION OF WOOD HAS LEAD TO AN
EXPANDED FIELD OF MANUFACTURED BOARDS.
TYPES OF BOARDS:
PLYWOOD IS MADE OF AN ODD NUMBER VENEER SHEETS GLUED
TOGETHER WITH THE GRAINS RUNNING AT RIGHT ANGLE TO EACH
OTHER. IT IS LIGHT IN WEIGHT AND STRONG THAT SCREW OR NAIL CAN
BE DRIVEN CLOSE TO THE EDGES WITHOUT DANGER OF SPLITTING.
THE DIFF. TYPES OF PLYWOOD'
SOFT PLYWOOD $ THE MOST COMMON FOR STRUCTURAL USE
HARDWOOD PLYWOOD ARE USED FOR PANELLING AND
FINSHING WHERE USUALLY ON ONE FACE IS HARD FINISHED.
EXTERIOR OR MARINE PLYWOOD IS MADE FOR EXTERNAL
USE.
HARDBOARD IS MADE FROM WOOD CHIPS WHICH ARE EXPLODED
INTO FIBERS UNDER STREAM OF HIGH PRESSURE. THE LINING IN THE
WOOD ITSELF BINDS PRESSED WOOD TOGETHER WITH NO FILLERS OR
ARTIFICIAL ADHESIVES APPLIED. PRESSED WOOD IS EQUALLY STRONG
IN ALL DIRECTIONS BUT VERY BRITTLE. ITS COLOR VARIES FROM LIGHT
TO DARK BROWN.
PARTICLE BOARD IS MANUFACTURES FROM WOOD CHIPS, CURLS,
FIBERS, FLAKES, STRANDS, SHAVING, SLIVERS ETC. BOUND TOGETHER
AND PRESSED INTO SHEETS AND OTHER MOLDED SHAPED. PARTICLE
BOARD HAS EQUAL STRENGTH IN ALL DIRECTION OF A GIVEN CROSS
SECTIONAL AREA, IT IS NOT BRITTLE AND CAN RESIST WARPING.
MASONRY
MASONRY REFERS TO A MAN$MADE UNITS WHICH ARE FORMED AND
HARDENED INTO MODULAR BUILDING UNITS.
BASIC BRICKWORK TERMINOLOGY:
COURSE IS A HORI%ONTAL LAYER OF BRICKS OR OTHER MASONRY UNITS.
BED JOINT IS THE HORI%ONTAL MORTAR IN EVERY COURSE.
HEAD JOINT IS THE VERTICAL MORTAR IN EVERY MASONRY UNIT.
STRETCHER IS A BRICK LAID WITH ITS FACE PARALLEL TO THE WALL AND ITS
LONG DIMENSION HORI%ONTAL.
HEADER IS A BRICK LAID SO AS TO BOND TWO WYTHES TOGETHER.
WYTHE IS A VERTICAL LAYER OF MASONRY UNITS, ONE UNIT THICK.
SOLDIER IS A BRICK LAID ON ITS END WITH ITS FACE PARALLEL TO THE WALL.
ROWLOCK IS A BRICK LAID ON ITS FACE WITH ITS END VISIBLE IN THE WALL
FACE.
STRUCTURAL BONDS FOR BRICKWORK:
RUNNING BOND CONSISTS ENTIRELY OF STRETCHERS.
COMMON BOND HAS A HEADER COURSE EVERY SIXTH COURSE
ENGLISH BOND ALTERNATES COURSES OF HEADERS AND STRETCHERS.
FLEMISH BOND ALTERNATES HEADERS AND STRETCHERS IN EACH COURSE.
JOINT TOOLING PROFILES FOR BRICKWORK:
WEATHERED (OINT CONCAVE (OINT VEE (OINT

REINFORCED BRICK MASONRY
A REINFORCED BRICK WALL IS CREATED BY CONSTRUCTING TWO WYTHES
OF BRICK !& #&&)) APART, PLACING THE REINFORCING STEEL IN THE CAVITY, AND
FILLING CAVITY WITH GROUT. GROUT IS A MIXTURE OF CEMENT, AGGREGATES, AND
WATER
BRICK BOUNDS
THE METHOD OF LAYING BRICKS IN A WALL IN ORDER TO FORM SOME
DISTINCTIVE PATTERN OR DESIGN IS REFERRED TO AS THE PATTERN
BOND.
THE METHOD BY WHICH THE INDIVIDUAL UNITS IN A BRICK STRUCTURE
ARE TIED TOGETHER EITHER BY OVERLAPPING OR BY METAL TIES IS
KNOWN AS THE STRUCTURAL BOND.
THE ADHESION OF MORTAR TO BRICKS OR TO STEEL REINFORCEMENT
USED IN CON(UNCTION WITH THEM IS CALLED THE MORTAR BOND.
CONCRETE HOLLOW BLOCKS'
CONCRETE HOLLOW BLOCKS ARE CLASSIFIED AS BEARING AND NON$
BEARING BLOCKS. LOAD BEARING BLOCKS ARE THOSE WHOSE THICKNESS RANGES
FROM #! CM. TO 2& CM. AND ARE USED TO CARRY LOAD ASIDE FROM ITS OWN
WEIGHT. NON$BEARING BLOCKS ON THE OTHER HAND, ARE BLOCKS WHICH ARE
INTENDED FOR WALLS, PARTITIONS, FENCES OR DIVIDERS CARRYING ITS OWN
WEIGHT WHOSE THICKNESS RANGES FROM *.! CM. TO #& CM.
CONCRETE HOLLOW BLOCKS HAS THREE CELLS AND TWO ONE HALF CELLS
AT BOTH ENDS HAVING A TOTAL OF FOUR.

COLD-ROLLED SHEETS ARE GALVANIZED 1GIVEN A %INC COATING2. PIG IRON IS
USED TO MAKE CAST IRON WHICH IS HIGH IN COMPRESSIVE STRENGHT BUT LOW
IN TENSILE STRENGHT, AND HAS LITTLE USE FOR CONSTRUCTION. HOWEVER
SINCE IT IS CHEAP AND EASY TO CAST, IT IS USED FOR PUMPS, MOTORS,
ENGINES AND BECAUSE OF ITS CORROSION RESISTANCE IT IS USED FOR PIPES
TO SOME EXTENT.
WROUGHT IRON IS PRODUCED WHEN PIG IRON IS MELTED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO
REMOVE NEARLY ALL OF THE CARBON AND OTHER IMPURITIES. IT IS EASILY
WORKED AND IS TOUGH AND DUCTILE. IT4S MAIN USES ARE FOR WIRE AND
METAL ORNAMENTS.

STRUCTURAL SHAPES
THE MOST COMMON SHAPES OF STRUCTURAL STEEL USED IN BUILDING
CONSTRUCTION ARE THE AMERICAN STANDARD FORMS SUCH AS'
#. SQUARE BARS 0. I$
BEAM
2. ROUND BARS *. TEE
BEAM
/. PLATE BARS . H$
COLUMN
". ANGLE BARS ?.
WIDE FLANGES
!. CHANNELS #&. %EE
STANDARD CHANNEL
THE STANDARD CHANNEL HAS THE SHAPE OF UNSYMMETRICAL BALANCE
CONSISTING OF TWO FLANGES ON ONE SIDE. IT THEREFORE REQUIRES LATERAL
SUPPORT TO PREVENT ITS TENDENCY TO BUCKLE. THE STANDARD CHANNELS ARE
GENERALLY USED AS ELEMENTS OF BUILT$UP SECTIONS FOR COLUMNS AND ARE
ALSO SUITABLE FOR FRAMING AROUND FLOOR OPENINGS, SPANDRELS, AND LINTELS
ATTRIBUTED TO THE ABSENCE OF FLANGE ON THE OTHER SIDE. THE CHANNEL
SECTION IS IDENTIFIRD AS C #! A 2& WHICH MEANS THAT THE CHANNEL HAS A DEPTH
OF 2& 5). AND WEIGHTS #! BC. PER METER LENGTH.
WIDE FLANGE
WIDE FLANGE SECTIONS ARE DESIGNATED AS W #2 A 2" WHICH MEANS THAT
THE FLANGE HAS A DEPTH OF 2" 5). AND IT WEIGHS #2 BC. PER METER LENGTH. ALL
WIDE FLANGE SECTIONS ARE GENERALLY WITH PARALLEL FACE FLANGE EXCEPT
THOSE WITH !D SLOPE INSIDE FACE PRODUCED BY BETLEHEM STEEL COMPANY.
COMPARATIVELY, WIDE FLANGE SECTIONS ARE MORE EFFICIENT THAN STANDARD I
BEAM WITH RESPECT TO BENDING RESISTANCE.
STANDARD I-BEAM
THE USE OF I$BEAM AS A COLUMN IS UNECONOMICAL, BECAUSE THE WHIRL
OR REVOLVING ACTION OF THE STRUCTURE ABOUT AN AXIS THROUGH THE CENTROID
PARALLEL TO THE WAB OF THE I$BEAM IS COMPARATIVELY SMALL.
H-BEARING PILES
H$BEARING PILES ALTHOUGH SUITABLE FOR PILE DRIVING ON DEEP
EXCAVATIONS IS MUCH MORE SUITABLE THAN THE I$BEAM FOR COLUMNS.

BOLTS
THE BOLTS COMMONLY USED IN STEEL FRAME CONSTRUCTION FALL INTO
TWO GENERAL CATEGORIES'
#2 CARBON STEEL BOLTS OR COMMON BOLTS ARE SIMILAR TO THE
ORDINARY MACHINE BOLTS THAT CAN BE PURCHASED IN
HARDWARE STORES.
22 HIGH$STRENGTH BOLTS ARE HEAT TREATED DURING
MANUFACTURE TO DEVELOP THE NECESSARY STRENGTH. IT IS
USUALLY TIGHTENED USING PNEUMATIC OR ELECTRIC IMPACT
WRENCH.
A MA(OR PROBLEM IN HIGH$STRENGTH BOLTING OR FRICTION$TYPE
CONNECTIONS IS HOW TO VERIFY THE NECESSARY TENSION HAS BEEN ACHIEVED IN
ALL THE BOLTS IN A CONNECTION.

GLASS
THE MA(OR INGREDIENT OF GLASS IS SAND 1SILICON DIOXIDE2. A HARD
BRITTLE INORGANIC SUBSTANCE, ORDINARILY TRANSPARENT OR TRANSLUCENT@
PRODUCED BY MELTING A MIXTURE OF SILICA, A FLUX AND A STABILI%ER@ WHILE
MOLTEN MAYBE BLOWN, DRAWN, ROLLED, PRESSED OR CAST TO A VARIETY OF
SHAPES.
DURING ITS MANUFACTURED, ORDINARY WINDOW GLASS IS ANNEALED,
COOLED SLOWLY UNDER CONTROLLED CONDITION, TO AVOID LOCKED$IN THERMAL
STRESSES THAT MIGHT CAUSE IT TO BEHAVE UNPREDICTABLY IN USE.
THICKNESSES OF GLASS

STRENGTH, OR 0)) TO 22)), IS CALLED DOUBLE$STRENGTH, AND ON SPECIAL
ORDER, 2!)) IS AVAILABLE.
TYPES OF CLEAR GLASS
#. TEMPERED GLASS
TEMPERED GLASS IS PRODUCED BY CUTTING ANNEALED GLASS TO
THE REQUIRED SI%ES FOR USE, REHEATING IT TO APPROXIMATELY #2&&
DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, COOLING BOTH ITS SURFACES RAPIDLY WITH A
BLAST OF AIR WHILE ITS CORE COOLS MUCH MORE SLOWLY. ITS FOUR TIMES
AS STRONG IN BENDING AND MORE RESISTANT TO THERMAL STRESS AND
IMPACT.
2. HEAT$STRENGTHENED GLASS
THE HEAT STRENGTHENED PROCESS IS SIMILAR TO TEMPERING,
BUT ITS, ABOUT ONE$THIRD AS HIGH AS TEMPERED GLASS IN TERMS OF
BENDING AND STRENGTH.
/. LAMINATED GLASS
ITS MADE BY SANDWICHING A TRANSPARENT VINYL INTERLAER BETWEEN
SHEETS OF GLASS AND BONDING THE THREE LAYERS TOGETHER UNDER
HEAT AND PRESSURE. WHEN ITS BREAKS, THE SOFT VINYL HOLDS THE
SHARDS OF GLASS IN PLACE RATHER THAN ALLOWING THEM TO FALL OUT
OF THE FRAME.
". PATTERNED OR ROLLED AND ROUGH CAST GLASS
HOT GLASS CAN BE ROLLED INTO SHEETS WITH MANY DIFFERENT SURFACE
PATTERNS FOR USE WHERE LIGHT TRANSMISSION IS DESIRED BUT VISION MUST BE
OBSCURED FOR PRIVACY.
!. SPANDREL GLASS
SPECIAL OPAQUE GLASSES ARE PRODUCED FOR COVERING THE SPANDREL
AREA 1THE BANDS OF WALL AROUND THE EDGES OF FLOORS2 IN GLASS
CURTAIN. IT IS USUALLY TEMPERED OR HEAT$STRENGTHENED TO RESIST
THE THERMAL STRESSES THAT CAN CAUSED BY ACCUMULATIONS OF SOLAR
HEAT BEHIND THE SPANDREL.
0. WIRED GLASS
SIMPLY A ROLLED GLASS INTO WHICH WIRE MESH IS INSERTED DURING THE
PROCESS OF MANUFACTURE. THE WIRE GREATLY INCREASES THE
RESISTANCE TO SHATTERING THROUGH IMPACT. ITS USE FOR SAFETY
GLA%ING, WHEN ITS BREAKS FROM THERMAL STRESS, THE WIRES HOLD THE
SHEET OF GLASS TOGETHER.
TINTED AND REFLECTIVE COATED GLASS
SOLAR HEAT BUILDUP CAN BE PROBLEMATIC IN THE INHABITED SPACES OF
BUILDINGS WITH LARGE AREAS OF GLASS, ESPECIALLY DURING THE WARM PART OF
THE YEAR. THIS IS USE TO REDUCE GLARE AND CUT DOWN ON SOLAR HEAT GAIN.
#2 TINTED GLASS
TINTED GLASS IS MADE BY ADDING SMALL AMOUNTS OF SELECTED
CHEMICAL ELEMENTS TO THE MOLTEN GLASS MIXTURE TO PRODUCE THE
DESIRED HUE AND INTENSITY OF COLOR IN GRAYS, BRON%ES, BLUES,
GREEN, AND GOLDS.
22 REFLECTIVE COATED GLASS
REFLECTIVE COATED GLASS APPEAR AS MIRROR FROM THE OUTSIDE ON A
BRIGHT DAY AND AT NIGHT, WITH LIGHTS ON INSIDE THE BUILDING, THEY APPEAR AS
DARK BUT TRANSPARENT GLASS.
/2 INSULATING GLASS
A SECOND SHEET OF GLASS APPLIED TO A WINDOW WITH AN AIRSPACE
BETWEEN THE SHEETS CUTS THIS RATE OF HEAT LOSS IN HALF. TWO KINDS
OF EDGES SEALS ARE FUSED GLASS EDGES AND A METAL SPLINE AND
ORGANIC SEALANT.
GLASS PRODUCTS
I. GLASS BLOCKS
COMPARABLE IN MANY WAYS TO UNIT MASONRY BUT HAVE THE ADDED
FEATURE OF TRANSMITTING LIGHT. THEY ARE MADE INTO TWO SEPARATE
HALVES, WHICH ARE HEAT$SEALED TOGETHER TO FORM A HOLLOW UNIT
WITH REASONBLY HIGH THERMAL EFFICIENCY AND SOUND INSULATION. THE
EDGE SURFACES OF THE BLOCK ARE COATED WITH A GRITTY MORTAR
BOND.
TWO TYPES:
#. FUNCTIONAL BLOCKS DIRECT OR DIFFUSE THE DAYLIGHT WHICH PASSES
THEOUGH THEM TO IMPROVE THE ILLUMINATION OF THE BUILDING INTERIOR.
THREE STYLES OF FUNCTIONAL BLOCKS'
A. A LIGHT DIRECTING BLOCK DIRECTS INCOMING LIGHT UPWARD TOWARD
THE CEILING. USED ALWAYS ABOVE EYE LEVEL.
B. A LIGHT DIFFUSING BLOCK DIFFUSES INCOMING LIGHT EVENLY
THROUGHOUT THE INTERIOR OF THE ROOM.
C. GENERAL PURPOSES BLOCK
2. DECORATIVELY OR ARCHITECTURAL GLASS AVAILABLE IN A WIDE RANGE OF
STYLES AND PATTERNS. THESE GLASS MASONRY UNITS PROVIDE ALMOST
UNLIMITED DESIGN VERSATILITY WHEN USED IN WINDOW, OPENINGS AND
FACADES, AS INTERIOR WALLS AND DIVIDER PANELING.
PAINT FINISHES
THE PURPOSE OF A FINISH IS TO PROTECT, PRESERVE OR VISUALLY
ENHANCE THE SURFACE TO WHICH IT IS APPLIED. FINISHES INCLUD PLASTIC
LAMINATED SURFACE COVERINGS SUCH AS PLASTIC LAMINATED AND VINYL OF
FABRIC WALL COVERING.
PAINT GENERALLY REFERS TO OPAQUE OR CLEAR FILM$FORMING MATERIAL
THAT ACTS AS A SHIELD OR BARRIER BETWEEN THE BUILDING MATERIAL AND THOSE
ELEMENTS OR CONDITIONS THAT MAY ADVERSELY AFFECTS OR DETERIORATE. THE
PAINT FILM MUST RESIST DETERIORATION DUE TO SUNLIGHT HEAT, TEMPERATURE
VARIATIONS, WATER OR MOISTURE VAPOR, MILDEW AND DECAY CHEMICALS AND
PHYSICAL ABRASION. PAINT MAY ALSO SERVE TO MAKE SURFACES MORE SANITARY,
IMPROVE HEATING AND LIGHTING EFFECTS, AND PROMOTE HUMAN COMFORT AND
SAFETY.
WHEN USING PAINT, THE PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF COLOR AND
SURFACE TEXTURE MUST BE CONSIDERED. CERTAIN COLORS MAY BE STIMULATING
WHILE OTHERS ARE RELAXING. WHITE AND LIGHT COLORS REFLECT SI%E OF FORM
AND SPACE. DARK COLOR CAN INHIBIT THE PERCEPTION OF FORM AND MAY BE USED
FOR CONTRAST. FLAT PAINT FINISHES SOFTEN AND DISTRIBUTE, ILLUMINATION
EVENLY. GLOSSY FINISHES REFLECT LIGHT AND CAN CAUSE GLARE, BUT THEY ALSO
PROVIDE SMOOTH, EASILY CLEANED, NON$ABSORPTIVE SURFACES.
MOST PAINTS ARE CAREFULLY FORMULATED TO MEET SPECIFIC
APPLICATION THAT USE REQUIREMENTS AND ARE READY$MIXED FOR APPLICATION
EXCEPT FOR THINNING, STIRRING, OR THE ADDITION OF AN ACTIVATOR OR CATALYST.
IT IS ALWAYS ADVISABLE THEREFORE TO FOLLOW THE PAINT MANUFACTURERS
RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE APPLICATION AND USE OF A PAINT OR OTHER
PROTECTIVE COATING.
PAINTS MAY BE CLASSIFIED ACCORDING TO'
MATERIAL TO WHICH IT IS APPLIED

BUILDING PROTECTION
PREVENTIONS
WATERPROOFING A METHOD OF PROTECTING SURFACES AGAINST THE
DESTRUCTIVE EFFECTS OF WATER.
DAMP$PROOFING PROTECTION FROM THE OUTSIDE IS PROVIDED BY WATER
REPELLENT MATERIALS WHICH TURN WATER ASIDE AND FORCE IT TO RETURN TO
THE EARTH. THE DAMPNESS THAT SOMETIMES OCCURS INSIDE THE BUILDING
CAN BE CAUSED BY PENETRATION OF MOISTURE FROM THE OUTSIDE OR BY
CONSIDERATION OF WATER VAPOR GENERATED ON THE INSIDE.
CLEAR PROTECTIVE TREATMENTS FOR MASONRY, CONCRETE THIS IS A CLEAR,
INVISIBLE SILICONE WATER REPELLENT SPECIALLY FORMULATED FOR
APPLICATION ON MASONRY AND BRICKS 1STANDARD SILICONE REPELLENT2 AND

OLE PAINT IS IN NEED OF REPAINTING, PAINT REMOVER IS APPLIED TO THE
SURFACE WHICH SOFTENS AND LIFTS THE PAINT. FOR CLEANING OF BUILDINGS
FROM STAINS, RUST, ALGAE OR EVEN CEMENT BUILD UP FROM FORMS OR
EQUIPMENT, ETC. A CHEMICAL STRIPPER OR DESCALER IS USED.
CONTROL, PROTECT AND MANAGE FOR BUILDINGS THAT NEED TOTAL
CONTROL OF THE INCOMING AND OUTGOING INDIVIDUALS FOR THE PROTECTION
OF THE BUILDING AS A WHOLE FROM ROBBERS, STEALERS, ETC. THERE ARE SO
MANY EQUIPMENTS WHICH CAN BE INSTALLED.
THIS IS APPLIED ON THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS'
ROOF DECKS

THREE TYPES OF WATERPROOFING'
INTEGRAL TYPE MEDIUM IN POWDER FORM IS ADDED
AND MIXED WITH THE AGGREGATES OF CONCRETE. IN THIS CASE, ONE
PACK OF USUALLY .?& KILOS IS ADDED TO ONE BAG OF KILOS CEMENT.
SOME OF THE KNOWN BRANDS ARE SAHARA AND SAKURA.
MEMBRANE TYPE RECOMMENDED FOR USE WHERE
DIRECT RAIN, OR STANDING WATER ARE EMINENT, THERE ARE ABOUT #"
USES. THE MATERIALS USED DEPENDING ON THE MANUFACTURER IS
EITHER ASPHALT PAPER LAID WITH HOT ASPHALT, IMPREGNATED
ASBESTOS FELT, SOMETIMES THICK POLYETHYLENE SHEETS IS ALSO
USED. OTHER MATERIALS ARE PERFORMED SELF SEALING ASPHALT.
FLUID APPLIED A FLUID APPLIED ELASTOMERIC COATING
BASED ON HAVY SOLIDS ELASTOMER COMPOUND FORMULATED TO
WATERPROOF AND PRESERVE THE SUBSTRATE, LIKE CONCRETE,
WOOD, BRICKS AND STEEL. THE WATERPROOFING IS MONOLOTHIC,
SEAMLESS, FLEXIBLE AND ELASTIC OVER A WIDE TEMPERATURE
RANGE, WITHSTANDS EXTREME THERMAL MOVEMENT, SETTLING AND
CRACKING. IT RESISTS PUNCTURE AND TEARING ABRASIVE
OVERLAYMENTS. THIS ELASTOMERIC FLUID CAN BE APPLIED BY
ROLLER, BRUSH, SPRAY OR SQUEEGEE.

ROOFING FELTS THE BASE FELTS USED IN BUILT$UP ROOFING ARE AVAILABLE IN
TWO BASIC TYPE ASBESTOS FELTS AND ORGANIC OR RAG FELTS. THEY LOOK
ALIKE, SUPERFICIALLY, BUT THEY DIFFER WIDELY IN SERVICE.
ASBESTOS'
ASBESTOS FELTS COMPOSED PRIMARILY OF ASBESTOS FIBER, A
NON$ROTTING, NON$WICKING INORGANIC MINERAL FIBER.
IDENTICAL EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION PROPERTIES TO
FINISHING FELTS.
MINIMUM STRETCH AND SHRINKAGE OR WETTING OR DRYING
WHICH MEANS MINIMUM DISTORTION.
LOSES STRENGTH SLOWLY WHILE AGING.
EXCELLENT RESISTANCE TO -BURNOUT IN HOT CLIMATE.
RAT RESISTANT.
ORGANIC'
ORGANIC FELTS COMPOSED OF FIBROUS ORGANIC MATERIALS.
SUB(ECT TO DETERIORATION BY OXIDATION AND TO WICKING.
DIFFERENT EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION PROPERTIES FROM
FINISHING PLIES.
MAXIMUM STRETCH AND SHRINKAGE ON WETTING AND DRYING WHICH
MEANS MAXIMUM DISTORTION.
LOSES STRENGTH RAPIDLY WHILE AGING.
POOR RESISTANCE TO -BURNOUT IN HOT CLIMATE.
POOR RESISTANCE TO ROT.
VAPOR INSULATION 1DAMPROOFING2
THE DAMPNESS THAT SOMETIMES OCCURS INSIDE BUILDINGS CAN BE CAUSED BY
PENETRATION OF MOISTURE FROM THE OUTSIDE OR BY CONDENSATION OF WATER
VAPOR GENERATED ON THE INSIDE. PROTECTION FROM THE OUTSIDE IS PROVIDED
BY WATER REPELLENT MATERIALS WHICH TURN ASIDE AND FORCE IT TO RETURN TO
THE EARTH DONE THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING. MOISTURE VAPOR ON THE OTHER
HAND CAN PERMEATE MOST ORDINARY BUILDING MATERIALS SUCH AS WOOD, PAPER,
LATH PLASTER, UNTREATED BRICK, ETC. THE MOISTURE VAPOR WILL CONDENSE
WATER WHEN ITS TEMPERATURE IS REDUCED BY CONTACT WITH A COOL SURFACE
OR COOL AIR. HENCE, HIGH HUMIDITY IN A BUILDING MAY RESULT IN CONDENSATION
OF WATER NOT ONLY ON THE INSIDE OF WALLS AND WINDOWS BUT ALSO ON THE
OUTSIDE OR WITHIN THE EXTERIOR WALLS, CEILING OR ROOF. MOISTURE VAPOR IS
PRODUCED BY COOKING OCCUPANTS, LAUNDERING, EARTH CRAWL SPACES,
BASEMENT FLOORS, HUMIDIFIES, ETC.
VAPOR BARRIERS 1DAMPROOFING MATERIALS2
THESE ARE MATERIALS WHICH EFFECTIVELY RETARD OR STOP THE FLOW OF WATER
VAPOR AND NORMALLY ARE PRODUCED IN SHEETS OR THIN LAYERS. VAPOR
BARRIERS SHOULD BE INSTALLED ON THE WARM SIDE OF THE INSULATION. THEY
SHOULD BE CONTINUOUS SURFACES OF ASPHALT OR WAX COATED PAPER,
ALUMINUM, OR OTHER METAL FOIL SHEETS OR POLYETHYLENE FILM. THEY CAN BE
ATTACHED TO THE INSULATION AS PART OF THE MANUFACTURED PRODUCT OR
INSTALLED SEPARATELY IN OR ON THE WARM SIDE OF THE WALL, FLOOR, OR
CEILING. THEY MUST BE CONTINUOUS AND ALLOW NO OPENINGS THROUGH WHICH
VAPOR MAY PASS. ALTHOUGH ASPHALT PAPER IS A GOOD MOISTURE BARRIER, IT IS
NOT A VAPOR BARRIER, AND SHOULD BE USED ON THE OUTSIDE OF A BUILDING FOR
THAT PURPOSE.
MATERIALS USED AS VAPOR BARRIERS'
POLYETHYLENE FILM THIS IS CHEMICALLY INERT PLASTIC,
UNAFFECTED BY ACIDS, ALKALIS AND CAUSTICS, PRODUCED IN ROLLS
OF / TO 2& FT. WIDE. COMMON THICKNESSES ARE 2,/," AND 0 MIL 1#MIL
9 .&&# IN.2 THIS FILM IS USEFUL NOT ONLY AS VAPOR BARRIER FOR
WALLS, CEILINGS AND FLOORS BUT ALSO AS A BARRIER TO PREVENT
THE PASSAGE OF MOISTURE FROM THE EARTH UPWARD THROUGH A
CONCRETE SLAB LAIN ON THE GROUND. POLYETHYLENE FILM CAN BE
APPLIED VERTICALLY IN /0 IN. WIDE STRIPS TO STUDDING ON #0 IN.
CENTERS WITH A FULL OVERLAP ON ALTERNATE STUDS. FILMS ARE
STAPLED TO STUDS. OVERLAPS AND EXTENSIONS TO FLOORS AND
WALLINGS SHALL BE 0 IN.
ALUMINUM FOIL USED AS VAPOR BARRIER AS A SINGLE SHEET, OR
AS A THIN LAYER OF FOIL LAMINATED TO A HEAVY BACKING OF ASPHALT$
IMPREGNATED KRAFT PAPER. THIS IS ALSO DONE WITH TWO LAYERS OF
FOIL LAMINATED WITH ASPHALT CEMENT.
KRAFT PAPER COATED WITH ASPHALT OR WAX. SOMETIMES TWO
LAYERS OF PAPER ARE CEMENTED WITH A CONTINOUS LAYER OF
ASPHALT. ANOTHER MATERIALS USED FOR DAMP$PROOFING OF
CONCRETE WALLS IS -WEATHERKOTE BITUMINOUS EMULSION, BY
SHELL.
THERMAL INSULATION
IN COLD WEATHER, WE ARE INTERESTED IN TRANSFERRING HEAT FROM FURNACES,
RADIATORS, HEATING PANELS, INTO VARIOUS ROOMS OF OUR BUILDINGS. AT THE
SAME TIME WE ARE INTERESTED IN PREVENTING THAT HEAT FROM BEING
TRANSFERRED FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE BUILDING TO THE OUTSIDE.
DURING THE SUMMER, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE PREVENT THE TRANSFER OF HOT
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES TO THE WORKING AND LIVING SPACE WITHIN OUR
BUILDINGS.
ALL OF THESE ARE DONE BY THE (UDICIOUS USE OF MATERIALS WHICH IS BEST
PREVENT THE TRANSFER OF HEAT, THIS WE CALL THERMAL INSULATION.
KINDS OF THERMAL INSULATION
LOOSE FILL THIS BULKY AND DIVIDED INTO'
FIBROUS TYPE
GRANULAR INSULATION

ASBESTOS FIBER MIXED WITH INORGANIC BINDERS, VERMICULITE AGGREGATE
WITH A BINDER SUCH AS PORTLAND CEMENT OR GYPSUM AND PERLITE
AGGREGATE USING GYPSUM AS A BINDER. MACHINES ARE USED FOR BLOWING
THESE INSULATIONS INTO PLACE@ AS A RESULT THE SHAPE OR IRREGULARITY OF
THE SURFACE BEING INSULATED IS OF LITTLE CONSEQUENCE.
ASBESTOS FIBER INSULATION
CORRUGATED INSULATION
SOIL TESTING
LARGER THAN A SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE" IT IS NECESSARY TO DETERMINE THE SOIL AND
WATER CONDITION BENEATH THE SITE.
METHOD OF SOIL TESTING,
$. DIGGING TEST PITS ARE USEFUL WHEN FOUNDATION IS NOT E#PECTED TO
E#TEND DEEPER THAT ABOUT - FEET WHICH IS THE MA#IMUM PRACTICAL
REACH OF SMALL E#CAVATION MACHINE.
%. TEST BORING BORING WITH STANDARD PENETRATION TESTS CAN GIVE AN
INDICATION OF THE BEARING CAPACITY OF THE SOIL BY THE NUMBER OF
BLOWS OF A STANDARD DRIVING HAMMER REQUIRED TO ADVANCE A
SAMPLING TUBE INTO THE SOIL BY A FI#ED AMOUNT.
TYPES OF SOILS,
ROCK IS A CONTINUOUS MASS OF SOLID MINERAL MATERIALS" SUCH AS GRANITE
OR LIMESTONE" THAT CAN ONLY BE REMOVED BY DRILLING AND BLASTING.
SOIL IS A GENERAL TERM REFERRING TO EARTH MATERIAL.
BOULDER IF THE PARTICLE OF SOIL IS TOO LARGE TO LIFT BY HAND.
COBBLE IF THE PARTICLE OF SOIL TAKES THE WHOLE HAND TO LIFT.
GRAVEL IF THE PARTICLE CAN BE LIFTED EASILY WITH THUMB AND
FOREFINGER.
SAND IF THE PARTICLE SEEN BUT ARE TOO SMALL TO BE PICKED UP.
FINE GRAINED SOIL IF THE PARTICLES ARE TOO SMALL TO BE SEEN.
SILT
CLAY
PILE DRIVING
MATERIAL USED IN PILE FOUNDATION ARE,
$. TIMBER
%. CONCRETE
'. STEEL
TIMBER CANNOT RESIST HIGH STRESSES DUE TO HARD DRIVING THAT IS REQUIRED TO
PENETRATE HIHLY RESISTANT LAYER OF SOIL. THE TIP OF THE TIMBER PILE WHICH
COULD BE EASILY DAMAGED IS PROTECTED BY THE USE OF STEEL SHOES" ON THE
OTHERHAND THE BUTT IS ALSO PROVIDED WITH AN AMPLE PROTECTION BY THE USE OF
CUSHION BLOCK.

CONCRETE PILES ARE CLASSIFIED INTO TWO TYPES,
$. CAST-IN-PLACE
CASED IS CAST INSIDE A METAL SHELL FORM WHICH ARE LEFT IN THE
GROUND.
UNCASED ELIMINATE THE METAL CASING.
%. PRECAST PILES ARE REINFORCED TO RESIST HIGH STRESS CAUSED BY THE
HAMMER IN DRIVING.
METAL PILE IS AN E#CELLENT AMTERIAL FOR PILE BECAUSE OF ITS STRENGTH
CHARACTERISTICS TO WITHSTAND HARD DRIVING AND RAPID PENETRATION INTO THE
GROUND" RELATIVELY WITH SMALL MATERIAL DISPLACEMENTS.
