METHOD OF BRICK MASONRY WORK

Description

Brick walls will be built for internal partition & as well as perimeter walls of the building. All brick walls will be constructed by maintaining the verticality of walls and the location of the wall as per the construction issued Architectural drawings / approved shop drawings for brick walls in each floor.

While constructing the brick walls, opening for the doors, windows & services will be provided according to the dimensions of doors, windows & the dimensions for openings shown in the service drawings by allowing cement / sand plaster thickness of 15mm in each side of the opening.

Method of Brick Masonry

Method of brick will be described as follows,

  1. Construction of brick wall.
  2. Construction of stiffener columns, beams & lintels.
  3. Providing reinforcement anchors to the stiffener columns from the structural beams, walls & columns.

Construction of brick wall

  • Marking for brick walls & openings will be done on structural floor slab according to approved shop drawings.
  • The floor slab where brick walls to be built will be cleaned.
  • Reinforcement for stiffener columns will be anchored using HIT-HY 150 chemical at the place where Reinforcement starters would not be provided.
  • Brick walls with 225mm thick will be built to around 1.5m height in first stage and balance will be completed after curing the wall.
  • Brick walls with 112.5mm will be built to around 1.0m height in each curing.

Construction stiffener columns, beams & lintels

· Stiffener columns will be cast after completing each part of brick walls (~1.5m height)

· Lintel beams & stiffener beams will be cast as per the approved drawing at the required level.

· If the Reinforcement starters would not be provided at the location of stiffener beams & columns from the structural elements, chemical anchor HIT- HY150 will be used for anchoring Reinforcement to the structural elements.

· If the Reinforcement starters would not be provided at the location of lintels from the structural elements, chemical anchor HIT - RE 500 will be used for anchoring reinforcement to the structural elements.

Providing reinforcement anchors to the stiffener columns from the structural beams, walls & columns

· These Reinforcement anchors would be provided while concreting the structural elements and construction detailing for anchors will be carried out as per the attached sketches.

· If the anchors have not been provided as per the approved shop drawing / required dimensions chemical anchors HIT- HY150 will be used for anchoring the missing Reinforcement. (Refer attached sketch No 02 for detail of chemical anchoring)

· Anchors provided for all the stiffeners columns and the perimeter brick walls at the top

of wall will be clipped with 22mm diameter PVC pipe clip & 16mm diameter PVC pipe respectively & filled with grease.

· 12mm thick polystyrene sheet layer will be place at the top of internal brick walls just at the soffit of structural elements (beam / slab)

· 12mm thick polystyrene sheet layer will be placed at the top of perimeter brick walls just at the soffit of perimeter beam. This gap at the external face and the internal face will be filled with waterproofing sealant. Literature of waterproofing material will be provided.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control System

  • Following checks & inspections will be carried out.
  • Locations of brick walls & openings in brick walls will be marked on floor by referring the off lines of main grids.
  • Verticality & the alignment of brick walls will be checked by using mason’s plumb.
  • Cement/ sand mortar will be mixed manually or mechanical mixer & volume of cement & sand will be measured using gauge boxes. Mix ratio of cement & sand is 1:5 (by volume)
  • Inspection with the engineer’s representative will be carried out while work is in progress.
  • Sample of Bricks will be submitted for the approval of engineer

Field Density Test

Image
  The sand cone method is used for field density test in our highway construction. In the field, the dry density test is carried out for check the compaction of layers. Compaction is most useful for the preparation of sub base grade and other pavement layers and in construction of embankment in order to increase the stability and to decrease settlement. In field compaction, the compacting moisture content is first controlled at optimum moisture content and the adequacy of rolling or compaction is controlled by checking the dry density achieved and comparing with the maximum dry density. Base layer-98% Sub base layer-98% Type 1 layer-95% ABC layer-100% Road shoulder- 98% Field density test Testing procedure: The weight of empty sand cone is measured and then filled with dry sand and weighted. The soil excavated from the hole is collected and weighted. After weighting, a specimen of soil is taken to determine it water content. The sand cone is placed on...

METHOD OF INTERNAL & EXTERNAL PLASTERING ON BRICK WALLS & CONCRETE SURFACES

Method of Plastering. Internal plastering on surfaces of brick and concrete. External wall plastering. Soffit plastering / Soffit finishing with cement based easy plaster material and wall putty. Improving joint of brick walls & structural concrete joints. Internal Plastering on surfaces of Brick and Concrete. Surface where plastering is to be done will be cleaned. Level pegs on walls will be fixed with reference to the off lines to brick walls set out in floors. (Using centre plumb bob and nylon thread). All the brick walls will be watered before pasting mortar on walls. First coat mortar filling (1:4 Cement and Sand) upto 15 mm will be applied on surfaces where required mortar thickness exceed 25mm. Walls and columns will be plastered 1:4 Cement and Sand to achieve semi rough finished surface. Vertical joint of structural columns / walls & brick walls will be treated by fixing 200mm width chicken mesh with wire nails / concre...

CRACK TREATMENT OF THE ASPHALT BINDER COURSE

Image
  Main Break Water(MBW) access road occurs several cracks on the asphalt binder course. The road cracks are monitored and investigated with specialist from RDA Research & Development. This report describes the reason and remedial method of the cracks based on the investigation and consultation. MBW access road structure consists of fallowing cross section and the core samples have been taken on the cracks. According to core sample data, can be observed that the crack was started from CBM and reflected to the binder course surface. CRACK INVESTIGATION The crack survey carried out for the entire road and investigation detail summarized as an attached sheet. Core samples were taken from the jointly selected locations with the engineer. MBW access road cracks were categorized into two types based on crack surface appearance. Transverse cracks Longitudinal cracks ...

Survey & levelling

Image
    Preliminary work in road construction is surveying & leveling works. This consists of Traverse Survey, TBM Survey, and Centre Line Setting out, Centre Line marking, Cross Section Survey and Submittal of Drawings. Traverse Survey At the commencement of contract all the basic traverse points will be checked and if any are found to be missing or appear to have been disturbed, necessary arrangements should be made to re-establish the points and traverse survey is carried out after that. Establishing TBMS We did not use survey Department bench marks .The permanent concrete cube was selected to permanent bench mark. It height was assumed hundred meters. But this point is not sufficient for construction purposes. So reference to this point Temporary bench marks (TBM) should be established. TBMs are used to transfer reduce levels in road construction. Temporary bench marks should be established at the rate of four per km and also at or near all structures. When e...
