4. FORMWORK
Formwork is a mould or die used to support and shape the concrete until it attains sufficient to
carry its own weight. The formwork holds the concrete until it hardens to required shape and size.
SIGNIFICANCE OF FORMWORK
1) Formwork constitutes 30% of the cost and 60% of the time in concrete construction.
2) Quality of concrete finish and soundness of concrete depends very much on the formwork
system
3) Desired shape of concrete is not possible if formwork not done properly.
4) Formwork should be properly designed, fabricated and erected to receive concrete.
5) Accidents happen because of the faulty formwork and scaffolding or staging.

CONSTRUCTION PROCESS AND MATERIAL USED:SITE CLEARANCEA number of conditions determine the kind of building that may be erected on a plot of ground.
These conditions may determine where on the lot it may be located. There are also covenants that
are legally binding regulations. These may, for example, set the minimum size of a house, prohibit
utility buildings, or ban rooftop television antennas.
Zoning laws regulate the setback and other factors that play into the equation of house location on
a lot. Septic tanks also require special consideration.
A Certificate of Occupancy is an important piece of paper. It is the final piece of paper, the signoff, that says the construction of the building is complete and it is ready to be occupied. Any town
that has adopted the BOCA or UBC building codes requires a CO. In most instances, the bank
making the mortgage loan requires a certificate of occupation as well.

CONCRETE :MAIN COMPONENTS:-Water, cement, fine aggregate or sand, coarse aggregate, surkhi, and fly
ash.

Nouveau,patna

Page 19

COARSE AGGREGATE
General: Aggregate most of which is retained on 4.75 mm IS Sieve and contains only as much fine
material as is permitted in IS 383 for various sizes and grading is known as coarse aggregate.
Coarse aggregate shall be specified as stone aggregate, gravel or brick aggregate and it shall be
obtained from approved/ authorized sources.
SIZE AND GRADING
Stone aggregate and gravel: It shall be either graded or single sized as specified. Nominal size and
grading shall be as under:Nominal sizes of graded stone aggregate or gravel shall be 40, 20, 16, or 12.5 mm as specified. For
any one of the nominal sizes, the proportion of other sizes as determined by the method prescribed

Nouveau,patna

Page 22

COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH TEST

One sample (consisting of six cubes 15x15x15 cm shall be taken for every 20 cum or part thereof
concrete work ignoring any part less than 5cum or as often as considered necessary by the
Engineer in Charge. The test of concrete cubes shall be carried out in accordance with the
procedure as described below. The casting of cubes, concrete used for cubes and all other
incidental charge, such are curing, carriage to the testing laboratory shall be borne by the
contractors. The testing fee for the cubes, if any, shall be borne by the department.

8. FOUNDATION
Though the foundation supports a building, the earth is the ultimate support. The foundation is a
system comprising foundation wall, footing, and soil. The prime purpose of an efficient structural
foundation system is to transmit the building loads directly to the soil without exceeding the
bearing capacity of the soil. A properly Designed and constructed foundation system transfers the
loads uniformly, minimizes settlement, and anchors the structure against racking forces and uplift.
Because soil type and bearing capacity are the crucial factors in the foundation system, the

Nouveau,patna

Page 23

foundation must be designed and built as a system. Too many residential foundations are designed
and built without any concern for the soil.

Types of Foundations
The many types of foundations can be separated into two broad groups: shallow foundations and
deep foundations. Shallow foundations consist of four types: deep basements (8-foot walls), crawl
spaces, slabs-on-grade, and frost-protected shallow foundations. They include spread footings, mat
or raft footings, long footings, and strap footings.
Deep foundations extend considerably deeper into the earth.
They include drilled caissons or piers, groups of piles driven and cast-in-place concrete piles, and
floating foundations.
A number of different construction systems can be used. Casting- place concrete is the most widely
used material for residential foundations, followed by concrete block. Other methods include
precast foundation walls, cast-in-place concrete sandwich panels, and masonry or concrete piers,
all weather wood foundations (AWWF), which are now called permanent wood foundations
(PWF), or preserved.

9. CURING CONCRETE
Curing is the process of preventing loss of moisture from the concrete. The following methods
shall be employed for effecting curing.
Moist Curing

: Exposed surfaces of concrete shall be kept continuously in a damp or wet condition

by ponding or by covering with a layer of sacking, canvas, Hessian or similar materials and kept
constantly wet for at least 7 days from the date of placing concrete in case of ordinary Portland
Nouveau,patna

Page 24

cement and at least 10 days where mineral admixtures or blended cements are used. The period of
curing shall not be less than 10 days for concrete exposed to dry and hot weather conditions. In the
case of concrete where mineral admixtures or blended cements are used, it is recommended that
above minimum periods may be extended to 14 days.
Membrane Curing

: Approved curing compounds may be used in lieu of moist curing with the

permission of the Engineer-in-Charge. Such compound shall be applied to all exposed surfaces of
the concrete as soon as possible after the concrete has set. Impermeable membrane such as
polythene sheet covering the concrete surface may also be used to provide effective barrier against
the evaporation.

Waterproofing

Any system or material (s), which helps in preventing ingress of water into structures can be
broadly termed as waterproofing
IMPORTANCE OF WATERPROOFING

If we refer back to the definition of waterproofing as an impervious barrier designed to

prevent water entering or escaping from building structures.

Problems caused by water

Rotting of timber structures and finishes such as floor joints, beams, floors, studs, skirting,
architraves and frames.

Corrosion of metals such as steel reinforcement in concrete, steel beams, lintels, metal door
frames etc.

Swelling of plasterboards and the subsequent debonding of ceramic tiles.

Electrical hazards causing the possible short circuit of lighting and power points.

The blistering of paint.

Unsightly deterioration of the building facade.

Health problems due to dampness, which may lead to respiratory problems.

Rotting carpet.

Source &Causes of leakages

Nouveau,patna

Page 26

Subsoil water rising by capillary action.

Cracks in external plaster

Vegetation growth

Separation gaps between partition wall and beams and the columns.

From expansion joints

Causes of leakages

Defective structural design

Use of poor quality construction material

Porous structures

Improper methodology of construction

Improper slopes on top surfaces.

Review of Conventional Waterproofing Systems

Brick Bat Coba system or Lime Terracing

Bituminous Treatment/Systems

Metallic Sheet Wrapping

Brick Bat Coba system or Lime Terracing

This system was developed during the initial stages of flat roof construction with lime
mortar & burnt clay brick aggregate

Nouveau,patna

Page 27

This system involved laying of lightweight mortar on the roof and spreading it to give
gentle slopes for draining away the rainwater immediately. The mortar consisted of
lightweight brick pieces as aggregates and ground brick with lime as binding matrix

Procedure

All existing treatment, coatings on roof slab top is to be removed and surface cleaned by hard
wire brush and washed with water.

The surface should be free from any oil, grease, dust etc. Remedial measured by provided to all
structural cracks.

Expansions joints should be treated as per standard practice

All non-structural cracks more than 0.5 mm wide and construction joints if any, should be cut
in V shape, cleaned with wire brush and washed, the cracks are then filled by polymer
modified cement or mortar using acrylic polymer, with addition cement slurry mix is spread
upon cleaned SSD roof surface. Over this 15 mm thick cement, sand mortar, 1:4 admixed, with
water proofer is laid.

On the above green mortar, a layer of brick bats, soaked over night in water, is laid, having an
average thickness of about 110 mm, about 70 mm near rain water pipe and 150 mm at ridge.

Limitations :
This system has following limitations

There is a possibility of improper compaction

Chances of crack development on the top surface.

Brickbat coba is a source of water retention and absorption.

Nouveau,patna

Page 28

If slab has cracks the retained water may leak.

The absorbed water may allow penetration to the slab level.

12. QUALITY
The technical audit of works done by NOUVEAU used to be done in-house right from its
inception. The functions of Quality Assurance and Technical Audit of works were shifted to CVC
in the year 1964. On the recommendation of Ranganathan Committee, the Quality Assurance
functions were again shifted to NOUVEAU in the year 1979.
The implementation of Quality Assurance in the field will require close co-operation among the
three agencies, namely (a) field engineers (b) the construction agency, and (c) the Quality
Assurance team at Circle level for strict compliance of Quality Assurance Procedure forming part
of agreement.
Quality Control System Of The Department
Multi level Quality checks have been created in NOUVEAU as detailed below:
