Duties of a Supervisor
To verify the standards of materials, quality of workmanship
with that of specifications and drawings.
To check the process of construction practices followed in the
work.
To reject the substandard material and to be careful in
recommending substitutes.
Soil Bearing Capacity:Bearing capacity is the ability of soil to safely carry the pressure
placed on the soil from any engineered structure without undergoing
a shear failure with accompanying large settlements. Applying a
bearing pressure which is safe with respect to failure does not
ensure that settlement of the foundation will be within acceptable
limits. Therefore, settlement analysis should generally be performed
since most structures are sensitive to excessive settlement.
Bearing pressures exceeding the limiting shear resistance of the soil
cause collapse of the structure which is usually accompanied by
tilting. A bearing capacity failure results in very large downward
movements of the structure, typically 0.5 ft. to over 10 ft. in
magnitude. A bearing capacity failure of this type usually occurs
within 1 day after the first full load is applied to the soil.
Objectives of Soil Investigation: To know the quantities and thickness of underground soil so as
to predict the behavior of foundation under loading.
To assign the suitable safe bearing capacity of the underlying
soil.
To determine the depth of the foundation.
To select safe and most economical type of foundation.
To find the depth of water table.
Earthwork Excavation:Excavation shall include site clearance, careful removal of all the
materials of whatever nature and whether dry or wet, exactly in
accordance with the lines, levels, grades, curves and dimensions etc.
shown on the drawings or as directed by the Engineer-in-Charge. It
shall be taken to exact widths and levels of the lowest step of the
foundations, footing, basement, etc. and the sides shall be left
plumb where the nature of soil permits its. Bottom surfaces and
sides of all excavation shall be trimmed and formed to required
levels, slops, etc. as directed. The bottom surface of the excavation
in rock shall be made as level and true as possible. Before laying the
foundation concrete, metal ling, etc. the bottom surfaces shall be
sufficiently watered and thoroughly rammed.
Earth excavation and grading can be a fascinating part of a
construction project. The powerful heavy equipment, used to best
advantage by a skilled operator, is a joy to behold. Excavation is
often used as a broad term which includes cut (or excavation) and
fills (or embankment). Cut is defined as removing material to lower
the elevation of an area. Fill is defined as placing material to raise
the elevation of an area. Compaction must take place during a fill
operation to increase the density of the soil material being placed.
Classification of Soil for ExcavationFor payment to contractors for excavation, the earthworks have
been classified into the following categories:
1. Soft/loose soil
2. Hard/dense soil
3. Ordinary rock not requiring blasting
1. Shallow Foundations:Shallow foundations are usually placed within a depth D beneath the
ground surface less than the minimum width B of the foundation.
Shallow foundations consist of spread and continuous footings, wall
Functions of Foundation: To distribute the load of the structure, on large area, so that
the intensity of load does not exceeded the safe bearing
capacity of the underlying soil.
To distribute the load uniformly to the soil, to prevent unequal
settlements of foundation.
To provide a level and hard surface, for the superstructure.
To increase the stability of the structure against sliding,
overturning or other disturbing forces like wind, rain, etc.
Layout of Building:The real meaning and purpose of setting out (layout) is to transfer
the plan, length and width of its foundation on the ground so that
the foundation can be excavated for construction of purposed
building as per drawing.
The following preliminary works should be executed before actual
planning of layout for the house.
Centre Line:Centre line divides the plan into two equal parts. This can be marked
in the field with the help of baseline. This line is very necessary and
useful for layout. This line should be transferred to Burjis and be
kept up to the completion of foundation work. Centre line marking on
the field is done before excavating the land by using center line
plan. A center line marking makes the construction accurate and easy
to execute.
'Burjis' and its' Distance:Burji or marking pillars are masonry pillars constructed with bricks
and cement mortar. These are constructed on both ends of walls
/columns and center line should be marked on the top surface of the
burjis with the help of base line. Burji is also constructed for
indicating the plinth level of the building. Burjis are very useful for
the layout. Accuracy of the foundation can be checked with the help
of Burji at any time during construction. Burjis should be kept intact
till completion of foundation work.
Different Processes in Foundation Work:1. Excavation of earth work in trenches for foundation.
2. Laying out Plain Cement concrete (P.C.C) in a ratio of
(1:4:8) or (1:4:5) as per the Plan.
3. Centre line marking of columns by using burjis.
4. Laying the footing in case of raft or column construction.
5. Laying Brick work up to plinth level.
6. Laying Damp proof course on the walls.
7. Refilling of earth around the walls.
8. Refilling of earth in the building portion up to the required
height according to plinth level.
Plinth Level (or) Height of Basement:In architecture, a plinth is the base or platform upon which
a column, pedestal, statue, monument or structure rests. The plinth
is a slightly thicker course at the base of a wall or a column; often
made of a more durable material than the rest of the wall or column.
The plinth course forms the first course of the rising wall
immediately above the footings. The Basement is completely filled
by the layers of fine sand, fine gravel, coarse gravel, small stones,
rocks and firm soil. The height of the plinth should not be less than
450mm from surrounding ground level. The height of the basement
varies with local conditions.
Functions of the plinth: To prevent the building from damp or moisture penetration
into it.
To transmit the load of the super structure to the foundation.
To act as a retaining wall so as to keep the filling in position
below raised floor of the build.
To improve the elevation of the building.
Plinth Beams:We have seen that the projecting part of the wall immediately
above the ground up to the ground floor level is known as plinth. It
gives an appearance of additional stability to the building and also
the clearance from the ground level. In first class buildings, for
getting crack free walls, especially in clayey soils, an RCC beam is
usually provided in the main walls above the ground level and just
below the ground floor level. This is called a Plinth Beam. Under
normal condition, it is made 10to 15cm in depth and extending the
full width of the upper wall. Two numbers of mm (or 3 numbers of
6mm) high strength steel, both on top and bottom, bound by 8mm
stirrups at some distance depending on depth of the beam are
provided as reinforcement for the plinth beam. In addition, DPC
(Damp-proof course) of bitumen coating is usually provided on top of
this plinth beam.
Functions of Plinth Beam: They connect columns in the two principal directions to act
as earthquake ties.
They support brick walls resting on top of plinth beams. This
causes bending and shears in plinth beams.
Brickwork in foundations is saved by providing plinth beams.
Dampness at Basement level:One of the primary objectives of building is that it should keep dry.
The dampness in the building is caused due to bad design, faulty
construction or poor material. Dampness not only reduces the life of
the structure and cause unhealthy conditions for the occupants. It
causes efflorescence which may leads to disintegration of bricks,
stones, tiles etc. Dampness can be prevented by adopting Membrane
damp-proofing, integral damp-proofing, surface treatment, guniting,
cavity wall construction etc.
Sand filling In Basement:Flooring concrete for ground floors should not be laid directly on
the original earth work described above without sand filling except
in cases where the foundation soil itself is sand. A sand layer with
thickness of 30cm for very clayey soils and at least 15cm for soils
other than sand should be placed above the fill. It should be
compacted in layers of flooding.
Superstructure:It consists of all parts of the building, which are constructed above
the plinth level i.e. walls, lintels, sills and roof beams.
Longitudinal reinforcement: The cross sectional area of longitudinal reinforcement shall not
be less than 0.8% and not more than 6% of gross cross
sectional area of the column.
In any column that has larger cross sectional area than that
required supporting the load, the minimum percentage of steel
shall be 0.8% of required area and not the area actually
provided.
Minimum no. of longitudinal bars to be provided is 4 for
rectangular columns and 6 for circular columns.
Minimum diameter of the longitudinal bars is 12mm.
Spacing of longitudinal bars measured along the periphery of
the column shall not exceed 300mm.

2. Ashlars masonry
3. Brick masonry
As brick work is an important part of building construction, we will
consider it in greater detail than other topics.
Brick Masonry:Bricks laid in systematical way are bounded together with mortar to
form a homogenous mass capable of withstanding and transmitting
forces without failure is called brick masonry.

Bonding of Bricks
The art of bonding brickwork consists of the orderly arrangements
of the bricks in such a way that continuous or through joints along
the walls are also reduced to a minimum. Bonding helps in the
distribution of the loads. Bonding is carried by use of closures (in
the header course) or three quarters in the stretcher course.
As bricks of different sizes are used in practice in various
places, the width of brickwork is measured by bricks and not by
actual measurement. Thus using 9 4

Types of Bonding
English Bond:-It is the most commonly used bond for all wall
thicknesses. On elevation, this consists of alternate courses of all
headers (length of brick) and all stretchers (side of bricks). It is
the straightest forward of all bonds to lay and give greater strength
than any other as it results in fewer through joints and entails the
use of a minimum no. of brick bats.
Rules of Bonding
The bricks should be uniform in size, and the proportion of
length to breadth is such that the length becomes twice the
width plus one joint. Good bond is impossible otherwise, as the
lap would not be uniform.
The minimum amount by which the bricks in 1 course overlap
1
the bricks in the course below should be 2 inch along the
1
length of the wall and 4 inch across the thickness of the wall.

Sills, Lintels and Weather Shades:The wall below the bottom of window frame is called sill of a window.
Lintel is a horizontal structural member provided to support the
weight of the wall above the opening of door or window.
Functions of Sills, Lintels and Weather Shades: Sills protect the top of the wall from wear and tear.
Lintels are placed over the openings of doors and windows, as
the frames of doors and windows are not strong enough to
support the weight of the wall above the opening.
Weather shades are provided to protect the doors and
windows from the weathering agents such as sun, rain, frost
etc.
Roof Beams:A roof is the upper part of a building which is constructed in the
form of a framework to give protection to building against rain,
heat, wind etc. And the beams provided to withstand the loads of
slab or roof is called roof beams. These beams are generally
provided to improve the ductility of the beam in earth quack regions.
They reduce long term deflections and increase the stiffness. These
beams are generally reinforced in both compression and tension
sides hence they are also called as doubly reinforced roof beams.
The minimum reinforcement area of tension reinforcement should
not be less than the following
.
=
=
= /
This works out only 0.2% for Fe 415 steel and 0.34% for Fe
250 steel.
The maximum area of tension reinforcement should not exceed
4% of the gross cross sectional area.
< 0.04
Where D = gross depth of the beam
The reinforcement shall have concrete cover of thickness
neither less than 25mm nor less than twice the diameter of
such bar.
Where the depth of the beam exceeds 750mm, side face
reinforcement shall be provided along the two faces. The total
area of such reinforcement shall be not less than 0.1% of the
beam area and a spacing not exceeding 300mm.
Slabs
Slabs are plane structural members whose thickness is small as
compared to its length and breadth. Slabs are most frequently used
as roof coverings and floors in various shapes as square, rectangular,
circular,
triangular
etc.
in
buildings.

Types of Slabs
Depending up on the ratio of longer span to short span( ), the
slabs are classified in to:
One Way Slab:Slabs which are supported on all four edges and the ratio of longer
span to the shorter span ( ) is greater than 2 are called as one
way slab. One way slabs bends in one direction i.e., along the shorter
span and hence it needs main reinforcement in one direction only
(along the shorter span) to resist one way bending. However minimum
reinforcement known as distribution steel is provided along the
longer span above the main reinforcement to distribute the load
uniformly and to resist temperature and shrinkage stresses.
Two Way Slab:When the slabs are supported on all the four edges and the ratio of
longer span to the shorter span ( ) is less than or equal to 2, the
slabs are likely to bend along the two spans and such slabs are called
as two way slabs. The load is transferred in both the directions to
the four supporting edges and hence main reinforcement has to be
designed in both the directions to resist two way bending.
Minimum Reinforcement:The reinforcement in either direction of span shall not be less than
0.15% of gross cross sectional area if mild steel is used. However,
Maximum Diameter of Bars:The diameter of the bars shall not exceed one eighth of the total
thickness of slab.
Spacing of Main Reinforcement:The spacing of main reinforcement in slabs shall not be more than
three times the effective depth of solid slab or 300mm whichever is
less.
Distribution Reinforcement:The area of distribution reinforcement shall not be less than 0.15%
of gross cross sectional area if plain bars are used and 0.12% if high
yield strength deformed bars are used. The spacing of distribution
reinforcement in slabs shall not be more than five times the
effective depth of slab or 450mm whichever is less.
Cover to Reinforcement:Reinforcement shall have concrete cover of thickness as follows:a) At each end of reinforcement bar not less than 25 mm nor less
than twice the diameter of such bar.
b) The bottom cover for reinforcement shall not be less than
20mm or less than the diameter of such bar.
Stair Case:Stairs provide access for the various floors of the building. The
stair consists of series of steps with landings at appropriate
intervals. The stretch between the two landings is called flight. The
room or space where stairs are provided is called stair case.
The width of stair depends up on the type of building in which it is
projected. Generally in residential buildings, the width of stair is
kept as 1 m and in case of public buildings it may be up to 2 m. to
allow free flow of users, the width of landings should be at least
equal to the width of stairs.
Each step has one tread (going) and one rise. Rise and tread are
proportional so as to provide convenient and easy access. The rise
may vary from 150 mm to 200 mm. the tread is in between 250 mm
to 300 mm. As per IS: 456, the slope or pitch of the stairs should
be in between 25 40.
Types of Stair Cases:1. Single Flight stair Case: This type of stair is used in
cellars or where the height between the floors is small and the
frequency of its use is less.
5. Geometrical
stair
Ground and Upper Floors:A single storeyed building has only one floor which directly rest
on the ground is known as ground floor. Multi-storeyed buildings
have other floors also in addition to ground floor. Sometimes, one
or two storeys of building are constructed underground level,
such floors below ground level are called basement floors.
Finishes for Walls:Wall finishes are of several types, they are pointing, plastering,
painting etc.
Functions of Finishes of Wall:1. It protects the structure form the effect of rain, sun, snow
etc.
Brick Wall
Brick work with F.P.S bricks of class designation 75 in super
structure above plinth level up to floor level in all shapes and
sizes.
1:4 (1cement:4coarse sand) for 4.5 thick brick wall.
1:6 (1cement: 6: coarse sand) for 9 thick brick wall.
