 GENERAL TERMS

METHOD STATEMENT
It is the reference manual issued to the contractor by which the construction is to be carried out.
In this reference code there is a mention of methodology and specification of work in which it is
to be executed. Separate method statement for each different work is issued. This reference code
is to be followed strictly while working, not doing so may result in non-approval of executed 19
work which may further result in loss of money, time, resources and demolition and
reconstruction of same work (now according to the referral code).

SURVEYING
Surveying or land surveying is the technique, profession, and science of determining the
terrestrial or three-dimensional position of points and the distances and angles between them. A
land surveying professional is called a land surveyor. These points are usually on the surface of
the Earth, and they are often used to establish land maps and boundaries for ownership, locations
like building corners or the surface location of subsurface features, or other purposes required by
government or civil law, such as property sales. Instruments used for surveying are:
Total Stations
Auto Level
Level Staff

COUPLER
A coupler is a mechanical splicing system or a bar break mechanical splicing system designed to
be used in the construction industry for splicing high tensile deformed (HTD) bars. Increasingly,
the use of mechanical couplers has been recognized by engineers and contractors to bring about
benefits that can accelerate construction speed, increase productivity and simplify design details.
It carries further advantages like:
Couplers save on lap lengths and could result in lower construction cost
Enhances construction speed.
Reduces congestion in lap zones, thus enhancing concrete flow.
TRANSIT MIXER
A T.M.(concrete mixer) is a device that homogeneously combines cement, aggregate such as sand
or gravel, and water to form concrete. A typical concrete mixer uses a revolving drum to mix the
components. For smaller volume works portable concrete mixers are often used so that the
concrete can be made at the construction site, giving the workers ample time to use the concrete
before it hardens. It has a capacity of 7.5 m 3.

GROUTING
Grout is a flowable plastic material, which should have negligible shrinkage to fill the gaps or
voids completely and should remain stable without cracking, delaminating or crumbling.
Grouting is a process of placing concrete as a material into cavities to increase load bearing
capacity of the structure, reinstate the monolithic nature of a structural member, fill gaps and
voids around precast connections steel base plates and provide fire stops, leakage and soil
stabilization. Injection grouting is process of filling cracks, voids or honeycombs under pressure
in concrete or masonry structural member. The most popular polymer used for this particular
purpose is epoxy. It possesses low pot life, effective in sealing cracks, excellent bond with almost
all materials and good chemical resistance.
 JOINTS
Beam to column connection
Beams are set on bearing pads on the column corbels.
Steel angles are welded to metal plates cast into the beams and columns and the joint
is grouted solid.

Slab-to-Beam Connection
Hollow core slabs are set on bearing pads on precast beams.
Steel reinforcing bars are in inserted into the slab keyways to span the joint.
Joint is grouted solid.
Slab may remain untopped as shown, or topped with several inches of cast in place
concrete.
Column-to- column
connection
The vertical bars are
coonected
longitudinally
either using lap splicing
technique or the
couplers.

 CONCLUSION
The main aim of studies within this project was to investigate how a structure is constructed
within its desired properties. We get knowledge about the basic & advanced techniques
of building construction as well as saw the challenges which a civil engineer have to face
during construction i.e. labour problems, cost management, environmental challenges etc. We
cleared our many doubts regarding building construction.

Proper coordination between Amrapali employees helps to maintain quality of work and
efficiency. Regular audits and inspection reports keeps the track of the project. Safety and
environmental factors are given utmost importance. Thus, the labours here are skilled and guided
from time to time regarding safe construction techniques. Moreover the quality of project is given
due consideration by conducting regular tests and maintaining the records.

As a final year engineering student, it was a wonderful experience, having gotten the opportunity
to work with such experienced staff members. I got to learn several new techniques that can be
adopted while construction, which otherwise we dont generally get to see in day-to-day life. Not
only was the experience valuable, but the kind of friendly and cooperative work environment was
absolutely commendable.
