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...

How to make Staircase in Etabs

 In the last blog I had described about making beams, columns, slabs/roofs in Etabs. But I forgot to tell you how to make staircase. Apology for that. But today in this blog I am going to discuss how to make staircase in Etabs. So before making Staircase first of all delete one side of the slab by single click. But remember one thing in the story side you should have to click "All Stories" so that automatically all slabs will get deleted and required gap and positioning will be appeared.  First click on All Stories After that select one portion of slab   After that go to Edit menu and click on Delete   Then one part of the slab of each story becomes hollow So doing the following steps you can now make the staircase. As for staircase we need hollow section at the top of it, so that it's free to move. In practical field also you can't provide staircase if the roof is covered with slab. Now the main procedure begins for Etabs.  Go to define tab menu and click on Se...

WHAT IS PEDESTAL IN FOOTING ?

 During foundation you should always be careful that there is no water present in the excavation pit and the depth should be accurate. So for that you need manwork and labourers to maintain it's accuracy. So before going further for any work just be careful that the depth of foundation is accurate and no error should be made. Because the structure of a building is fully depend upon foundation. And this is general sense that the all the building loads are carried to the foundation i.e., footing.  Before doing any foundation work first of all brick soiling is to be done or sand filling. The building where high rise structures are made, sand filling is done; but the house with ground floor, brick soiling is sufficient. But from where you will get the bricks. Obviously you will have to order or bring it from bricks factory where bricks are made. And after bringing the bricks where you will placed them?  (Actually all these practical knowledge are not taught in the college so ...
