Introductory Message

Welcome to TLE 10 - IA (Masonry NC II)!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Kabankalan City and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western
Visayas through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents, and responsible
adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic
Education Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is a self-directed instructional material aimed

to guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using
the contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TLE 10 - IA (Masonry NC II) Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the
teaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency
(MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and the learner.
This will be made available to the learners with the references/links to ease the
independent learning.

For the learner:

The TLE 10 - IA (Masonry NC II) Activity Sheet is developed to help you

continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning material provides you
with meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active
learner, carefully read and understand the instructions then perform the activities
and answer the assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed
schedule.

Stockpile Materials

I. Learning Competency with Code

Stockpile required construction materials based on standard operating
procedure (TLE_IAMS 9-12MMIi-IIb-2)

II. Background Information for Learners

It is important to remember that the legal term ‘tip’ includes stockpiles. These
can be as hazardous as other tips, and so they too need to be properly designed
and operated. Walls or other supports provided to contain stockpiles should be
designed by a competent person and considered as part of the stockpile during
appraisal or assessment.

Selection of Stockpile Sites

The suitability and location of stockpile sites, as well as access to the sites,
will be subject to the approval of the Engineer. The Contractor shall provide stockpile
sites, which shall be level, well-drained and have adequate bearing capacity to
support the weight of the material which is to be placed thereon. Stockpiles shall be
constructed at locations and by methods that will neither interfere with nor damage
utility lines, pipe lines or underground utilities. Access to stockpiles shall be readily
available at all times.

Construction of Stockpiles

The Contractor shall clear the site of all debris, vegetation, rocks, snow and
other objectionable material prior to placing any aggregate on the stockpile site. This
work will not be paid for directly, but will be considered incidental to the Contract as
a whole. Where segregation is a concern the pile at the end of the discharge belt
shall not be allowed to build up to a height greater than 3 m. Stockpiling shall be
performed using loaders, trucks or stacking conveyors. When trucks or loaders are
used, loads shall be spot dumped uniformly over the entire stockpile area. The
aggregate shall be placed in layers not exceeding 1.25 m in depth. Each layer shall
be completed and levelled prior to placing the succeeding layer. When a stacking

1
conveyor is used for stockpiling, the material shall be placed into stockpile directly
from the stacking conveyor, or it shall be placed into a surge pile and moved and
placed in the stockpile by loaders.

For the stacking conveyor to build the stockpile directly the material being
produced must be within specification and uniform. Segregation of the aggregate
shall be kept to a minimum. Coning of the stockpile or spilling material over the
edges of the stockpile will not be permitted. If more than one material is to be placed
at the same site, each stockpile shall be separated by a sufficient distance to allow
equipment access to all sides of the stockpile. Aggregates which become mixed with
others of a different kind, class, source or gradation or which become contaminated
by foreign material will be rejected and shall be promptly removed from the site of
the work. The completed stockpile shall be neat, regular in form and constructed to
occupy the smallest feasible area.

Factors determining the siting and design of tips and stockpiles

 The nature of the quarried material. –unstable materials do not compact to

form a stable surface and are more likely to fail or flow– stable materials
compact to form a stable surface. – Stable materials can become unstable if
one or more of the other factors below are causing an issue.
 The ground used for the stockpiles- It should be firm and provide a stable
foundation. It should be relatively level, properly drained and should not be
affected by water courses, which may flood.
 The volume of product. - The output of a quarry will have an influence on the
siting, type and size of stockpile. The angle of repose of the stockpiled
material must be taken into account
 The area available and required. - The size of the area, irrespective of the
type of stockpile, must be sufficient for mobile equipment to operate when
dumping and loading out.
 Other potential hazards. - No stockpile should be formed under or on top of
power lines. Access shall not be from beneath overhead power lines. High
stockpiles should not be located where high wind conditions may suddenly
occur.
 Environmental considerations. - Siting should ensure the lowest
environmental impact possible.

2
The potential failure of a tip or stockpile can be influenced by:

 The material being stockpiled.

 The configuration and placement of
the tip/stockpile.
 The mobile equipment being used.
 The immediate and overhead
environment.
 The degree of moisture and drainage
of the tip/stockpile.
 The method of material retrieval.
