Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of calcium carbonate or calcium and magnesium carbonate. It forms in various types including coquina, chalk, travertine, and oolite. Limestone has many uses in construction as a building stone, in road base, and to produce cement. It is quarried and can be used in building, road construction, and cement production depending on its quality. Limestone has advantages as a natural, consistent material but may wear more easily than other building materials.
Concrete is a composite material made up of cement, aggregates (sand and gravel or crushed stone), and water. It has many applications and can be molded into various shapes. Concrete has high compressive strength but low tensile strength, so steel reinforcement is often added. The key components of concrete are cement, aggregates, steel reinforcement, and water. Cement acts as the binding agent when mixed with water. Aggregates make up 60-80% of the volume and provide strength. Steel reinforcement improves tensile strength. Water is needed for the cement hydration reaction but too much water weakens the concrete. Proper mixing is required to produce a uniform, workable concrete.
This document discusses the durability and permeability of concrete. It defines durability as the ability to last a long time without significant deterioration. Permeability is defined as the property that governs the rate of flow of a fluid into a porous solid. The document discusses factors that affect the durability and permeability of concrete such as water-cement ratio, cement properties, aggregate type and quality, curing methods, and use of admixtures. Maintaining a low water-cement ratio and limiting chloride and sulfate levels in concrete are important for ensuring durability.
The document discusses reinforced cement concrete (RCC), including its history, materials, specifications, and advantages/disadvantages. RCC uses steel reinforcement embedded in concrete to resist tensile, shear, and sometimes compressive stresses. François Coignet is considered a pioneer of RCC, building the first reinforced concrete structure in 1853. Proper proportions and mixing of cement, aggregates like sand and gravel, and water are needed to produce durable concrete. Precast concrete involves casting pieces off-site then transporting them for assembly.
The document discusses lime, including its types, classification, manufacturing process, properties, and uses. It defines lime as products derived from burnt limestone such as quicklime and hydrated lime. There are three main types - quick lime, slaked lime, and hydraulic lime. Lime is classified based on its hydraulic properties into Class A, B, and C. The manufacturing process involves collecting limestone, burning it in kilns or clamps to produce quicklime, and then slaking the quicklime with water. Lime is used widely in construction for mortar, plaster, and concrete due to its binding properties.

The document primarily focuses on natural materials like stone, sand, wood, clay and their uses in construction. It provides classifications, properties, and examples of how these materials are used.
Bricks are one of the oldest and most widely used construction materials. They are durable, lightweight, fire resistant, and cheaper than stones to use for building. A good quality brick is made from a mixture of clay and sand that is molded, dried, and fired at a high temperature. This makes the brick hard and long-lasting. Bricks are commonly used to construct walls, bridges, floors, and other structural elements in buildings. They have advantages over other materials like stones in being easier to work with and transport. Proper analysis and processing of the clay mixture is important to produce high quality bricks with good compressive strength, low water absorption, and resistance to cracking.

The key compounds formed during cement manufacturing are also identified.
Clay and clay products are formed through the weathering and erosion of rocks. Clay is composed mainly of fine particles of hydrous aluminum silicates and other minerals. Bricks are a common clay product used in construction. Good brick earth contains 20-30% alumina, 35-50% silica, and 20-30% silt. Bricks are manufactured through molding, drying, and burning clay at high temperatures. Proper firing leads to high strength bricks with less than 20% water absorption. Common defects in bricks include over or under burning, black cores, and efflorescence.
This document discusses clay products used in building construction. It describes how clay is formed and composed of minerals like kaolinite. Clay is classified based on its formation (residual or transported) and characteristics (china clay, fire clay, vitrified clay, brick clay).

Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, with small amounts of other elements like manganese, phosphorus, and silicon. Carbon content in common steel grades ranges from 0.1-1%. These alloying elements determine the properties of different steel types. Steels are classified as low alloy (<10% other elements) or high alloy, and can be further broken down by carbon content. Low carbon steels are commonly used and have good weldability and machinability but require cold working to strengthen. Alloying elements like manganese and phosphorus increase hardness and strength but decrease ductility.
Steel is a versatile material that is commonly used for large scale construction projects due to its strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Steel trusses are a type of structure frequently employed in buildings to provide support for roofs, floors, and other loads. They consist of compression and tension elements arranged in a triangulated pattern, allowing them to efficiently span long distances with minimal material. Common types of steel truss designs include Pratt, Warren, and Fink configurations. Truss members are often made of angles, channels, tubes, or other standard steel sections joined together with bolted or welded connections.
Masonry is the building of structures from units like brick and stone laid together with mortar. There are several types of masonry walls including load-bearing walls that support structural loads, non-load bearing walls that only support themselves, and cavity walls that have two wythes separated by an airspace for insulation and drainage. Masonry construction can also use different bonding patterns, reinforcement, and materials like concrete blocks, stone, or brick veneers to provide durability and strength.
Concrete and concrete blocks are materials commonly used for retaining walls. Concrete is composed of aggregate bonded with cement that hardens over time. Concrete blocks come in solid, hollow, and interlocking forms and can be lightweight, medium, or normal weight depending on their aggregate mix. Retaining walls made of concrete blocks are laid with mortar between each block to retain soil behind the wall. The base of the retaining wall is thickest to withstand pressure, while the top is thinner, and reinforcement is often added along the outer surfaces to support heavy loads exerted on the wall.
Ceramics can be classified into several categories based on their composition and properties. They include whitewares used for crockery, tiles, and sanitary products; refractories used in furnaces due to their high temperature resistance; glasses used for windows, containers, and fibers; and cements used to make concrete. Ceramics have properties like extreme hardness, corrosion and heat resistance, low electrical and thermal conductivity, and high strength at elevated temperatures. However, they also have low ductility and toughness making them brittle. The industrial processing of ceramics involves steps like drying and high temperature firing to form glass between silicon dioxide particles. Common ceramic products discussed are tiles, technical ceramics, and glass

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
2. LIME MORTAR
Lime mortar is a type of mortar composed of lime and
an aggregate such as sand , mixed with water. It is one of
the oldest known types of mortar.
With the introduction of ordinary portland cement (OPC)
during the 19th century the use of lime mortar in new
constructions gradually declined, largely due to portland's
ease of use, quick setting, and high compressive strength.
However the soft, porous properties of lime mortar provide
certain advantages when working with softer building
materials such as natural stone and terracotta. For this
reason, while OPC continues to be commonly used in brick
and concrete construction, in the repair and restoration of
brick and stone-built structures originally built using lime
mortar, the use of OPC has largely been discredited.
3. Properties
• Lime mortar is not as strong in compression as OPC mortar, but both are
sufficiently strong for construction of non-high-rise domestic properties.
• Lime mortar does not adhere as strongly to masonry as OPC. This is an
advantage with softer types of masonry, where use of cement in many
cases eventually results in cement pulling away some masonry material
when it reaches the end of its life. The mortar is a sacrificial element
which should be weaker than the bricks so it will crack before the
bricks. It is less expensive to replace cracked mortar than cracked
bricks.
• Under cracking conditions, OPC breaks, whereas lime often produces
numerous microcracks if the amount of movement is small. These
microcracks recrystallise through the action of 'free lime' effectively
self-healing the affected area.
4. Properties (conti.)
• Historic buildings are frequently constructed with relatively soft masonry units (e.g.
soft brick and many types of stone), and minor movement in such buildings is quite
common due to the nature of the foundations. This movement breaks the weakest
part of the wall, and with OPC mortar this is usually the masonry. When lime mortar
is used, the lime is the weaker element, and the mortar cracks in preference to the
masonry. This results in much less damage, and is relatively simple to repair.
• Lime mortar is more porous than cement mortars, and it wicks any dampness in
the wall to the surface where it evaporates. Thus any salt content in the water
crystallises on the lime, damaging the lime and thus saving the masonry. Cement on
the other hand evaporates water less than soft brick, so damp issues are liable to
cause salt formation and spalling on brick surfaces and consequent disintegration of
bricks. This damp evaporation ability is widely referred to as 'breathability'.
• Lime mortar should not be used below temperatures of 5 °C (41 °F) and takes longer
to set so it should be protected from freezing for three months.
5. MIX
A typical modern lime mortar mix would be 1 part lime putty to 3 parts washed, well graded, sharp sand. Other
materials have been used as aggregate instead of sand.
The theory is that the voids of empty space between the sand particles account for a 1/3 of the volume of the
sand. The lime putty when mixed at a 1 to 3 ratio, fill these voids to create a compact mortar. Analysis of mortar
samples from historic buildings typically indicates a higher ratio of around 1 part lime to 2 part aggregate/sand
was commonly used. A traditional coarse plaster mix also had horse hair added for reinforcing and control of
shrinkage, important when plastering to wooden laths and for base (or dubbing) coats onto uneven surfaces such
as stone walls where the mortar is often applied in thicker coats to compensate for the irregular surface levels.
If shrinkage and cracking of the lime mortar does occur this can be as a
result of either-
The sand being poorly graded or with a particle size that is too small
The mortar being applied too thickly (Thicker coats increase the
possibility of shrinkage, cracking and slumping)
Too much suction from the substrate
High air temperatures or direct sunlight which force dry the mortar
High water content in the lime mortar mix
Poor quality or unmatured lime putty
6. Types of Lime Mortar
It is also called natural lime mortar and should not be confused with the popular
type of mortar, Portland cement mortar.
There are two types of lime mortars:
• one type hardens when exposed to air, called non-hydraulic lime mortar
• the other one hardens when mixed with water, called hydraulic lime mortar.
There are also sub types under the hydraulic lime mortar category.
7. Non-hydraulic Lime Mortar
• Non-hydraulic lime is so named because it does not require water in order to harden. This type of
lime is basically taken from calcium carbonate in its purest forms, i.e. limestone and chalk. The
material is burned in a kiln and made to produce quicklime or calcium oxide. Quicklime becomes
calcium hydroxide once it is mixed with water. In order to reform calcium carbonate, calcium
hydroxide is made to react with carbon dioxide in the air.
• Non-hydraulic lime can be produced in two different forms, i.e. lime putty and hydrated lime.
Take note that hydrated lime is different from hydraulic lime, although the words are somewhat
similar. Hydrated lime can sometimes be hydraulic when it hardens after being mixed with water,
and non-hydraulic when it does not harden after being mixed with water. Lime putty is also
considered to be non-hydraulic and is made simply from lime and water.
• When non-hydraulic lime mortar is set in a mason unit, it takes quite a long time to harden. The
setting process may take weeks or even months or years to achieve its optimum strength. The
slow process is due to the fact that it requires carbon dioxide in the air to reform back to its
original state. Lime putty will retain its form as long as it is kept underwater and away from the
air. When it is ready for use, it can be taken out of the water and exposed to the air to harden.
8. Hydraulic Lime Mortars
• Hydraulic lime mortars are designed to harden when they
come in contact with water. In the production of a calcium
oxide, impurities in the material form aluminates and calcium
silicates that cause the material to harden when mixed with
water. The calcium oxide is then mixed with a sufficient
amount of water in the kiln to produce calcium hydroxide,
while allowing the aluminates and the calcium silicates to set.
Once the calcium hydroxide is formed along with the
aluminates and the calcium silicates, they are bagged to
prevent moisture from seeping in and hardening the mortar.
Unlike non-hydraulic lime, hydraulic lime can easily harden
after it is mixed with water.
• Hydraulic lime is graded depending on the rating and
strength of the material. Hydraulic limes are describes as
eminently hydraulic, moderately hydraulic, and feebly
hydraulic. In modern times, these grades are referred to as
NHL 5 for eminently hydraulic, NHL 3.5 for moderately
hydraulic, and NHL 2 for feebly hydraulic. NHL stands for
Natural Hydraulic Lime.
9. USES
• Lime mortar today is primarily used in the conservation of buildings originally built
using lime mortar, but may be used as an alternative to ordinary portland cement.
Portland cement has proven to be incompatible with lime mortar because it is harder,
less flexible, and impermeable. These qualities lead to premature deterioration of
soft, historic bricks so the traditionally, low temperature fired, lime mortars are
recommended for use with existing mortar of a similar type or reconstruction of
buildings using historically correct methods.
• Lime is commonly available in the United States as Type S hydrated mason's lime
(ASTM C 207). However, this lime product is intended to be added to Portland cement
to improve workability and for several other reasons. Type S lime is not reliable as a
sole cement because some manufacturers fire the lime above 1,100 °C which begins
to cause vitrification of impurities in the lime. This over-burned lime is sometimes
called dead-burned because lime fired at these temperatures loses reactivity leading
to poor or no bond strength and will not hold up to freeze-thaw weather cycles.
10. Why Use Lime Mortar
• Buildings made using slaked lime mortars are far more capable of withstanding
the vibration from traffic and the movement of the ground beneath them. Lime
mortar makes the ideal plaster for timber-frame and straw bale construction. It
will even cope well with the movement of green oak, which can be seen in so
many early Tudor houses.
• Today slaked lime mortars and mortars made with NHL (natural hydraulic lime)
are gaining ground with enlightened architects and contractors, as a better
alternative to cement mortar in new builds. It is aesthetically appealing, flexible
and far less prone to cracking, it also allows moisture to be released from walls
via the mortar bed. Garden designers are finding it superior for hard landscaping
for the same reasons
• Lime has a much lower carbon footprint as opposed to cement.
12. EXCAVATION
• EXCAVATION is the preliminary activity of the construction
project. It starts from the pits for the building foundations
and continues up to the handing over of the project.
• For small buildings, excavation is carried out manually by
means of pick axes, crow bars. spades etc. In case of large
buildings and deep excavation, mechanical earth cutting
equipment can be used like Hydraulic excavator, tractor /
trucks.
• Deep excavation or the construction of basements includes
the construction of retaining walls, excavation, the
installation of struts, the construction of foundations and
floor slabs,etc.
13. DEPTH OF EXCAVATION
• For Isolated footing the depth to be one and half
times the width of the foundation.
• For adjacent footings with clear spacing less than
twice the width (i.e.) one and half times the
length.
• 1.5m in general and 3.5 m in black cotton soils.
• For hard soils when the depth of excavation is
less than 1.5 m, the sides of the trench do not
need any external support. If the soil is loose or
the excavation is deeper, some sort of shoring is
required to support the sides from falling.
15. PRIOR TO EXCAVATION PROCESS
Site clearance
Before excavation, the area coming under cutting
and filling shall be cleared of shrubs, vegetation,
trees and saplings of girth up to 30cm measured at
a height of one metre above ground level shall be
removed up to a distance of 50 metres outside the
periphery of the area under clearance. The trees
of girth above 30 cm shall be cut only after
permission of the Engineer-in-Charge.
Existing structures and services such as old
buildings, culverts, fencing, water supply pipe
lines, sewers, power cables, etc. within or
adjacent to the area if required to be
diverted/removed,
In case of archaeological monuments within or
adjacent to the area, the contractor shall provide
necessary fencing around such monuments as per
the directions of the Engineer-in-Charge
Preservation of Property,
Antiques and Relics
Excavating operation shall be
conducted in such a manner that
all properties, facilities, utilities
and improvements on or near the
project site, which are to remain
in place, are not damaged.
Any finds of archaeological
interest such as relics of
antiquity, coins, fossils or other
articles of value shall be
delivered to the Engineer-in-
Charge and shall be the property
of the Government.
The Contractor shall layout, and
construct one or more
permanent bench marks in some
central place before the start of
the work, from which all
important levels for the
excavations will be set.
Setting out
Blasting
Where hard rock is met with
and blasting operations are
considered necessary, the
contractor shall obtain the
approval of the Engineer-in-
Charge
16. EXCAVATION METHODS
1.FULL OPEN CUT METHOD can be further classified into:
• Slope open cut method
• Cantilever method
Slope full open cut method : excavation site is excavated with sloped sides and does not use
retaining walls or struts to obstruct excavation . In case of excavation not too deep the cost
remains cheap as there is no struts, but when excavation is deep and soil is loose and firm ,a
tremendous amount of excavated soil will be needed to backfill that turs whole the process
costly.
Cantilever method: though requiring the construction of retaining walls , does not necessitate
digging the slope and backfilling ,thus cost is low compared to full open cut method.
17. 2.BRACED EXCAVATION METHOD : Installing horizontal struts in front of retaining
walls to resist the earth pressure on the backs of walls is called braced excavation
method . The bracing system of the braced excavation method includes struts ,wales
,end braces ,corner braces ,and center posts. The function of wales is to transfer
earth pressure on the back of retaining walls on to the horizontal struts . End or
corner braces can help shorten the span of wales without increasing the number of
struts.
3.ANCHORED EXCAVATION METHODS :braced method use struts to offer lateral
support against earth pressure. Anchored methods substitute anchors for struts to
counteract the lateral earth pressure . The construction procedure as follows:
Set out first
excavation stage
Bore for
anchors
Insert tendons
into the bores
Inject grouts
Preload
anchors and
lock them
Proceed to
second stage
of excavation
Build the
foundation of
building
18. Excavation process
EXCAVATION IN ALL KINDS OF SOILS/ORDINARY/HARD ROCK
• All excavation operations manually or by mechanical means shall include excavation and ‘getting out’ the excavated materials.
In case of excavation for trenches, basements, water tanks etc. ‘getting out’ shall include throwing the excavated materials at
a distance of at least one metre or half the depth of excavation, whichever is more, clear off the edge of excavation.
• During the excavation the natural drainage of the area shall be maintained.
• In firm soils, the sides of the trenches shall be kept vertical upto a depth of 2 metres from the bottom. For greater depths, the
excavation profiles shall be widened by allowing steps of 50 cms on either side after every 2 metres from the bottom.
Alternatively, the excavation can be done so as to give slope of 1:4 (1 horizontal : 4 vertical).
• In case of excavation for foundation in trenches or over areas, the bed of excavation shall be to the correct level or slope and
consolidated by watering and ramming.
• Where hard rock is met with and blasting operations are considered necessary, the contractor shall obtain the approval of the
Engineer-in-Charge. Where blasting operations are prohibited or are not practicable, excavation in hard rock shall be done by
chiseling.
• In ordinary rock excavation shall be carried out by crowbars, pick axes or pneumatic drills and blasting operation shall not be
generally adopted.
19. MEASUREMENTS
• The length and breadth of excavation or filling shall be measured with a
steel tape correct to the nearest cm. The depth of cutting or height of
filling shall be measured, correct to 5 mm, by recording levels before the
start of the work and after the completion of the work.
• In case of open footings up to the depth of 1.5 metres, around
excavation of 30 cm. beyond the outer dimension of footing shall be
measured for centering and shuttering.
• In case of open footings/Rafts at a depth of more than 1.5 metre, around
excavation of 75 cm shall be measured for centering and shuttering.

21. BACKFILLING
• The earth used for filling shall be free from all roots, grass, shrubs, rank vegetation, brushwood, tress,
sapling and rubbish.
• Filling with excavated earth shall be done in regular horizontal layers each not exceeding 20 cm in depth.
• All lumps and clods exceeding 8 cm in any direction shall be broken.
• Each layer shall be watered and consolidated with steel rammer or ½ tonne roller. Where specified, every
third and top must layer shall also be consolidated with power roller of minimum 8 tonnes. Wherever
depth of filling exceeds 1.5 metre vibratory power roller shall be used to consolidate the filing unless
otherwise directed by Engineer-in-charge.
• The top and sides of filling shall be neatly dressed. The contractor shall make good all subsidence and
shrinkage in earth fillings, embankments, traverses etc. during execution and till the completion of work
unless otherwise specified.
22. PLANKING AND STRUTTING
When the depth of trench in soft/loose soil exceeds 2 metres, stepping, sloping and/ or planking and
strutting of sides shall be done.
Types:
Planking and strutting shall be ‘close’ or ‘open’ depending on the nature of soil and the depth of
trench.
• Close Planking and Strutting - Close planking and strutting shall be done by completely covering the
sides of the trench generally with short upright, members called ‘poling boards’. These shall be
250x38 mm in section or as directed by the Engineer-in-Charge. The boards shall generally be placed
in position vertically in pairs. One boards on either side of cutting. These shall be kept apart by
horizontal wallings of strong wood at a maximum spacing of 1.2 metres cross strutted with ballies.
• Open Planking and Strutting - In case of open planking and strutting, the entire surface of the side
of the trench is not required to be covered. The vertical boards 250 mm wide & 38 mm thick, shall
be spaced sufficiency apart to leave unsupported strips of 50 cm average width.
24. Excavation for Concrete
Culverts
Neat trenches shall be excavated for
placing aprons, cut off walls and lower
portions of headwalls or wingwalls.
Excavations that are more than 1.5
metres deep and within a cofferdam in a
watercourse shall be shored, sloped
and/or stepped A maximum 1:1 slope
(angle not greater than 45 measured
from the horizontal plane) shall be
provided
Excavation for Abutments,
Approach Piers and Retaining
Walls
Excavation shall be kept to a
minimum. The limits of the excavation
shall not extend more than 1.0 meter
beyond the footprint of the footings
Excavation for River
Piers
Excavation shall be kept to the
minimum. The limits of the
excavation shall not extend more
than 1.0 meter beyond the footprint
of the footings.
Excavation for river piers shall be
isolated from the watercourse using
sheetpiling cofferdams. Sheetpiling
cofferdams shall be shored
26. FOUNDATIONS
• Foundation is the lowest part of a structure which provides a base for the super‐structure
and transmit the loads (live load, wing load) on the structure including the dead weight of
the structure itself to the soil below.
27. SHALLOW FOUNDATION
• A shallow foundation is a type of foundation which transfers building loads to
the earth very near the surface, rather than to a subsurface layer or a range
of depths
• According to Terzaghi, a foundation is shallow if its depth is equal to or less
than its width.

28. RAFT OR MAT FOUDATION
Why it is used
• Base soil has low bearing capacity or
• Column load are so large that more than
50% of the area covered by conventional
spread footing.
• Resist unequal settlement due to
earthquake.
• Quickness of construction work.
Consist of a thick reinforced concrete slab covering the entire area of the bottom of the structure (like a
floor). This type of foundation is useful for public buildings, office buildings, school buildings, residential
quarters etc, where the ground conditions are very poor and bearing power of the soil is so low that individual
spread footing cannot be provided
29. PROCESS
Method of construction of Raft Foundation:
• The whole area is dug out to the specified depth and 30 cm more wide than the area to
be covered.
• The bed is compacted and sprinkled over with water.
• Then a layer of lime concrete or lean concrete ( 1: 8 : 16 ) is laid to a suitable thickness
to act as a bottom cover.
• After this, the reinforcement is laid. The reinforcement consists of closely spaced bars
placed at right angles to one another.
• Then the cement concrete (1 : 2 : 4 ) is laid and compacted to the required thickness.
• The concrete slab so laid is then properly cured
• When loads are excessive, thick concrete beams running under the columns can also be
constructed.
30. DEEP FOUNDATION
If the depth of a foundation is greater than its width, the foundation is known as deep
foundation.
In deep foundation the depth to width ratio is usually greater than 4 to 5.
Deep foundations as compare to Shallow foundations distribute the load of the super structure
vertically rather than laterally.
Deep foundations are provided when the expected loads from superstructure cannot be
supported on shallow foundations.
31. PILE FOUNDATION
Pile foundations are the part of a structure used to carry and
transfer the load of the structure to the bearing ground located at
some depth below ground surface. A pile foundation usually consists
of a base of spread footing or grillage supported by piles at their
bottom. Piles distribute the load of structure to the soil in contact
either by friction alone or by friction combined with bearing at their
ends.
SUITABILITY :
This type of foundation is suitable under the following situations ;
When the soil is very soft and solid base is not available at a reasonable
depth to keep the bearing power within safe limits.
When the grillage and raft foundation are very expansive.
When the building is very high carrying heavy concentrated loads.
When it is necessary to construct a building along the sea shore or river
bed.
33. PRE-CAST PILE
PROCESS
• Steel form is used for the precast pile
manufacture.
• Before pore the concrete in to the form,
mobile or other kind of oil have been used.
• cement, sand ,aggregate ratio is normally
1:2:4 in pre cast pile.
• But to make the foundation stronger mix
ratio is used 1:1.5:3
• When the concrete pore in the steel form it
would be ramming by the vibrator.
Pre means before & cast means made. So precast pile refers to a pile
that has made before it is being used.
34. Pictures of Processing Precast pile
•After 3 days, pile have been covering
by the sheet.
• After 3 days of casting, steel form
would be removed.
• Then the piles would be prepare for 4
weeks curing.
•Then the piles are transported to the
site for driving
