EARTH CUTTING, BRICK SOILING, PCC SHOULD BE MADE IN A DAY

There are many reasons and many might may think why Earth cutting, Brick soiling and PCC should be made in a day. Well the thing is that if this thing is not done today then the contractor charge may increase the next day for the labourers.

In many cases and many sites you may see, after doing excavation the water table rises up from the underground water and day by day it increases. And it is not possible to do any foundation work in this condition. So the water is first cleared out from the excavation pit and then it is seen that the base of the excavation is of uniform shape or not. If it is uniform then the center point is marked with the help of rod or stick above the excavation pit, and if it is not then first the ground is made uniform and cut it along the edges of the footing and after that that the center point is marked.

After marking the center point on the excavation pit it is again measured with the tape in all four sides whether accurate measure is taken or not as per drawing. if the measurement is accurate then the only the brick soiling or sand filling is done. After brick soiling then the bottom formwork is made for PCC. The mixture is made in concrete machine and after that it is brought to the excavation site for PCC work. If it is not done on this day the next day it becomes difficult for the workers, as taking out water repeatedly from the ground is not an easy task. It is a waste of time and lack of work to upgrade it. So the after earth cutting the Brick soiling and PCC work should be done in a day.

Here you can see that the water level rises up after doing brick soiling also.

Wait, but there are some sites where earth cutting, sand filling, and PCC is done in different days. Definitely the sites where excavation pit has less water in it then it done in different days, but where the water table is high or it rises above to the ground surface then all three works should be done in a day. Otherwise the task becomes repeated.

The RCC Footing which is done before but the water table rises up.

On the very next day the RCC foundation is done. Otherwise if the water table rises up from the ground then it becomes difficult for the mistry to work on it. So the RCC foundation is done on the very next and after that again the next day the column head is done and repeatedly the process goes on for others foundation also. As the column head is finished the back filling work is done after that to make it free from rubbish and unwanted materials and as well as for the water level to remain inside the foundation.

How to edit grid systems in Etabs

Okk in the last blog I had discussed about Etabs for beginners. You have got at least some ideas about it. If you have not seen it then click here . But here I am going to discuss how you will edit Grids/Columns in Etabs. As I had said by clicking on "Modify/Show Grid Systems" option a new dialog box appears, their you can edit anything. But you can also do it by different way. On the left side in grid dimensions (plan) you can see that two options are available. One is "Uniform Grid Spacing" and the other is "Custom Grid Spacing". Click on the "Custom Grid Spacing" and you see that Edit Grid Data option is available. Just click on that, and you can edit it as you want by giving the required dimensions in X-axis and Y-axis only. Ok whatever be lets come to the topic. If you have done it like as I have shown earlier then follow those steps. And the one who were new to this blog this is just for that. That's why I underlined with BLUE line an...

MACHINES USED AT CONSTRUCTION SITES

The most commonly used machine at any construction site is JCB where it's technical name is Backhoe. It is the most common and widely used machine in any construction project whether its big or small project. It becomes easier and makes the work faster for the companies at any time of interval. All other machines such as Transit Mixer, Concrete Mixer, Roller etc are also used in any kind of road project or building project. Transit Mixer is used for large large building projects, bridge projects, some kind of road projects etc. whereas concrete mixer is for small building projects. Roller is used for road project and bridge project for its elevation. For any building project the most commonly used machines are concrete mixer, transit mixer, concrete pump, bar bending machine, needle vibrator, water pump and many more. All these machinery works make the work easier and faster. Otherwise if the work is done with labourers it will take more time and less efficient ...

Importing AutoCAD into Revit

So today in this blog I am going to explain how I made an AutoCAD 2D plan and then imported it into Revit software. So you read this blog from starting to end, then only you'll understand clearly. This is all basic and not any crisscross idea or ruthless situation. It's very simple. First you do all the basic steps in AutoCAD, and you know what is that. Going to Format, set up the units and bla, bla, bla. After that making all these set-up you start with the drawing plan. You yourself have created a idea "how my drawing plan will look like" or "how will I make it?" But before going into complex, first you make a simple drawing plan, like this First you make the lines and after that create the room size and area of your own. You are exclusively expert in that. This is the first and foremost drawing plan you have to make. And the rest you know how to make it. All boundary lines, room shape and size, passage, staircase etc. you know it very well. Now you g...
