Major Work in Construction

1. Concrete Activity
a. Inspection
This activity is done by check listing. Each reinforcement and formwork is
checked if it is ready for pouring of concrete. Otherwise, the problem should be
addressed, then it must be fixed to be able to pour the concrete and resume the
immediate activities.
b. Batching
This activity is done when the project site calls the attention of the
batching plant for the delivery of the concrete mix which would be used for
certain structural members which are ready for concrete pouring.
c. Receiving
When the concrete mixer arrives in the site, they should receive and notify
the Concrete Engineer. The condition of concrete should be first checked before
the pouring activity should happen.
d. Slump Test and Temperature Test

Before pouring of concrete, concrete slump test and temperature testing
should be conducted. Temperature test is done to know if the concrete is already
in its ideal pouring temperature; otherwise, premature concrete pouring would
cause problems. On the other hand, Slump Test is done to know and check the
workability of the concrete.
Figure1.1 Slump Test of Delivered Concrete
e. Sample for Compressive Strength

A four sample specimen of concrete cylinder should be attained to be able
to conduct a compressive strength test. The samples represent the 7-day, 14-day,
28-day and 56-day specimen which all are to be tested. If the first specimen fails,
the following specimen should be tested for compressive strength.
f. Concrete Pouring
If all the samples are obtained and passed all the necessary tests, (Slump
and Temperature Test, Compressive Strength Test) concrete should then be
poured on the members which are ready to be poured on. In the case of Silk
Residences, DDT Konstract Inc. used concrete bucket and concrete pump for
pouring
Figure 1.2 Concrete Pouring Using a Bucket
g. Levelling
Levelling is applicable for slabs in which the levelness of the slab is
checked for each poured section.
h. Finishing
Power trowel is used for finishing of concrete slab to have a smooth finish.
i. Curing
Curing process is done by spraying a chemical in the cured member of
the structure.

2. Reinforcement Bars
a. Material Delivery
Once the rebar is ordered, it is delivered in the site. Visual inspection
shall be done by the Project Quality Assessment Engineer. The primary
inspections is the diameter of the bar or of there are impurities, rusts on the
delivered rebar. The quantity of the delivered rebar is also checked if it matches
the quantity ordered. DDT Konstract, Inc. has an official form for this kind of
Request named as Material Delivery Inspection Request. The form includes the
description of the material, quantity, location of usage and remarks.
b. Material Testing
After the material is inspected, a four sample specimen for each delivered
order is obtained. The sample is 500 mm in length and they obtain three for each
batch of deliver. The four sample represent the 7-days, 14-days, 28-days, and 56days specimen that is to be tested. The sample is tested with accordance of
PNS49:2002. The test methods are ASTM A370-09 (Standard Test Methods and
Definitions for Mechanical Testing of Steel Products) and PNS823/ ASTM E41508 (Standard Test Method for Atomic Emission Vacuum Spectrometric Analysis
of Carbon and Low-Alloy Steel). They also have form for testing entitled Testing
Request (Off-Site) in which they have the instruction to testing laboratory.
c. Fabrication
When the rebar passed the material testing and complied with the
standard, the rebar can then be used. It can be fabricated into what is used and in
accordance with the cutting list.
Figure 2.1 Fabrication of Ties
d. Installation of Rebar
After the fabrication procedure, installation of the fabricated rebar should
take place. The form used is Inspection & Work Request/Permit. In this form, it is
the nature of work is written and the signature for the approval for each engineer.
e. Inspection of Installed Rebar
In inspection of the installed reinforcement bars, the project Quality
Assessment and Quality Control Engineer should check the arrangement and the
number of reinforcement bar for each member. Checking of the spacing for each
ties is also done.

3. Formworks Activity
a. Survey Layout
The Survey Layout has the actual location for the member and it conforms
the elevation and level of the member. It has also a a form which has the actual
survey location.
Figure 3.1a Survey and Layout Request Form
b. Rebar Work
The rebar work is the inspected rebar installation that is passed the
inspection. It is also the process in the rebar for major work.
c. Form Enclosure Request
It is the request for the formwork to be installed on the certain structural
member that is ready for concrete pouring.
d. Concrete Work
It is the time when the structural member is ready to be poured.
e. Form Stripping Request
It is the request when the poured concrete is passes on the certain hours
after poured depending on the structural member.

Test for Rebars

Steel, just like concrete, plays also a very significant role in any
structural element. Since this backs concrete up, steel that will be used in any
portion of a structure should have properties that are specified in the plan.
Failure to have standard steel will cause weaker reinforcements and will make
the structure fail under small external forces. Buildings that collapsed through
the years are mainly caused by sub-standard reinforcements. To prevent this,
the steel that will be used in any construction site is subjected to different test.
Unlike concrete however, the tests are done in different laboratories and
samples of each steel are only delivered to be examined. Tensile test is one of
the most popular tests done on steel.The deliver rebar is tested by the supplier
but the project is still get sample for the testing the tensile strength,
mechanical properties and the chemical composition of the rebar. Whenever
there is a delivered of rebar, they get a random sample. The rebar must passed
all the test before using it. It is usually in the warehouse. The sample is tested
in the testing company in which they will be given the result. When the rebars
passed the test, the batch of rebars that is tested is already can be used but if
the rebars failed, the batch of the rebars is returned to the supplier.
Figure 3.1 Steel samples that will be delivered to a testing center to determine
if its properties will match that of the standard.

Test for Concrete

Concrete pouring is one of the most crucial methods in construction.
Failure to successfully conduct this method will surely affect the schedule of
the project and will later extend its duration that will surely significantly affect
its cost. Likewise, the concrete used will dictate the strength of the building
as a whole. If substandard mix will be used, it will definitely be a big problem.
Preventive measures are therefore done before the concrete pouring is started.
There are two tests done in the field before the said method: Compressive
strength test and slump test. The former will tell them the strength of the
concrete mix delivered as its name implies. It will be the basis of whether or
not the concrete exhibits strength properties that are the same of that specified
on the plan. The latter, on the other hand, shows the workability of the
concrete. Different height of the slump is required for each particular purpose
of the concrete. When the concrete mix delivered in the project site, it gets a
sample for compressive strength of the concrete. It ensures that the delivered
mix is correct. First they put oil on the mold then get a part of concrete on the
mixture. After, the mold is fill 3 layers of equal volume and stomp it 25 times
each with a rounded end of the rod. We used a rubber mallet to vibrate the
side of the mold to avoid honeycombs to the concrete samples and also scrape
the excess concrete sample at the top of the mold. After 24 hours, the mold is
labeled and submerged on the curing tank. It is ideal to use potable water for
curing and it must be protected from direct sunlight and contamination of the
rain water. When its time to test, it is delivered on the testing company. The
result will be given to the company. If the specimen passed the test, the pour
concrete is good for use. But if the specimen failed, they used the back-up of
the 56 days specimen and test it. If the retest is failed, they will rectify the
whole section of the poured concrete.

Site Instruction
The site instruction is used by the Engineers whenever a work is not
properly done and a certain member. If the subcontractor does not follow or
fixed the inspected error in the work, the engineer will written this site
instruction and the worker or the foreman must comply on the commitment
date that is on the form. It is also in the form the observation of the quality
assurance Engineer and the specific location where he/ she sees this defect.
Also, it is on the form the proposed corrective action that is required on the
specific problem.
