What is a site access?
Site Access means access to the site from adjacent parcels or internal access
from one part of the site to another part of the site for pedestrian or vehicular
traffic, provided other routes of access are unavailable or impractical.

A number of facilities are required on construction sites to provide adequate


welfare for workers.
Construction site facilities
Sanitary conveniences.
Washing facilities.
Drinking water.
Changing rooms and lockers.
Facilities for rest.

Welcome All of You – (Module -1) By Dr. A.S.Pathan


What is means of access in building?

Forms of access may include; doors, escalators, lifts, stairs,

ramps, and so on. Developers, designers and owners of

buildings have a responsibility to ensure that the built

environment is accessible to everyone wherever it is practical

to do so. This forms an important part of inclusive design.

What are the functions of a site layout?


The function of a site layout is to provide a safe and
economical flow of materials and workers. What are the
advantages of a good construction site layout? Well planned
construction site layout causes the increase of safety and
productivity, decline areas required for temporary
construction, and maximize utilization.
Welcome All of You – (Module -1) By Dr. A.S.Pathan
What are construction facilities?
Construction Facility means a facility which the equipment is owned and operated by a
company involved in the process of building a permanent structure or roadway in
which the equipment and company will be removed from the site upon completion of
the building process.

Who can access a construction site?


authorized personnel
Construction sites can be dangerous places, and only authorised personnel should be
allowed access. Dangers to non-authorised personnel include: Falling materials or
tools. Falling into trenches.

What is access example?


An example of access is permission to enter a secure area. The ability, opportunity,
permission, or right to approach, communicate, enter, pass to and from, or view
without interference or obstruction.

Manual and mechanical

Manual method includes handweeding and use of hand tools. Mechanical method, on the
other hand,includes the application of mechanized interrow cultivation and other
mechanical method.
Manual method
Handweeding and the use of hand tools
- Examples of hand tools are hoes and sicklesAdvantages:
•Effective method of removing weeds
•Practical and efficient method of removing weeds within rows or hills of rice where weeds
cannot be controlled by other means
Disadvantages:
•Extremely tedious and time consuming
•It is not practical to use on large scale area of rice
•It is difficult to distinguish weed seedlings from rice seedlings at early stage of growth and
uprooting or damaging rice cannot be avoided. This occurs particularly in direct-seeded rice

Welcome All of You – (Module -1) By Dr. A.S.Pathan


Manual and mechanical
Mechanical method
For mechanical weed control, straight row planting is essential. Example of tillage
implements are rotary weeder and lithao. Weed control by tillage is achieved by:
Burial. The weeds are buried in the soil thrown over them by the tillage tools. If the
weeds growing points is buried, most annual weeds are killed by this method of weed
control
Disturbance of the roots. Passing of the tillage implement looses the soil or cuts the
root system so weeds die of desiccation before they can reestablish.
Advantages
Requires less time to wee rice than manual weeding.
Lower cost than manual weeding
Disadvantages
Inability to control weeds growing close to crop plants.
Cannot be used effectively when the soil is too dry or too wet.
Improper use of tillage implements can damage the rice.

Scrapers
One advantage over the other
Scraper is a machine used for moving or
earth-moving machines is the
removing dirt, gravel and any other capability to remove wet soil
from the surface.
unnecessary material from the surface.
Also, the scraper is capable to
dig, load, haul and dump. Not
so long ago, the operators
needed three different
machines for these four
operations: excavator, truck
and loader. With these three
machines, the operating costs
were very high. Today, the
incredible scraper is a four-in-
one machine that can do it all.

Scraper is used for Excavation, transporting and dumping of soil

The Jack Hammer
The jack hammer is a handy tool
used to break large portions of
concrete or rock into smaller
chunks that can easily be
handled. It has a piston
mechanism that drives a chisel
by forward and backward
movements within a cylinder
thereby providing the breaking
force required.

In general, an explosive has four basic characteristics:
(1) It is a chemical compound or mixture ignited by heat, shock,
impact, friction, or a combination of these conditions;
(2) Upon ignition, it decomposes rapidly in a detonation;
(3) There is a rapid release of heat and large quantities of high-
pressure gases that expand rapidly with sufficient force to
overcome confining forces; and
(4) The energy released by the detonation of explosives produces four
basic effects; (a) rock fragmentation; (b) rock displacement; (c)
ground vibration; and (d) air blast.

What is detonator?

A detonator, frequently a blasting cap, is a device used to trigger an


explosive device.
Detonators can be chemically, mechanically, or electrically initiated, the last
two being the most common.

Welcome All of You – (Module -2) Lecture – 11 By Prof. A.S.Pathan
Electric detonators
a) Construction Electric detonators are widely used to initiate blast sequences but are
rarely now used inside the blast holes themselves (ICI 1997). Electrical energy is
introduced into the detonator from the exploder (battery, hand-driven magneto or
charged capacitor) via a primary circuit wire (shot firing cable) and detonator leads. In the
detonator (Figure 3.11), the current heats up a high resistance wire which then ignites a
fuse head (similar to a match). The resulting flash ignites a delay element which burns
through to a primer charge that detonates the base charge. The timing of the pyrotechnic
delay element is accurate to within 8 ms (White 1999).

The buckets are usually fitted with drop-bottom or bottom-roller
gates which open freely outward when tripped. The bucket is
fully filled along with concrete and its top covered along with a
canvas cloth or a gunny bag to avoid the disturbance of concrete
as the bucket is lowered within water.
3.PLACING IN BAGS

Welcome All of You – (Module -3) By Dr.A.S.Pathan


In this method, properly concrete
filled bags are lowered into water
and placed carefully in a header and
stretcher fashion as in brick masonry
with the help of divers.

. A work is slow and laborious, as


the accurate positioning of the
bags in place can be only
accomplished by the divers.

The bags and labour necessary to


fill and tie them are relatively
expensive. This method is only
suited for placing the concrete in
shallow water.
In this method, the aggregate should be wetted
before placing in position. This method is also called
as grouted concrete. It consists of placing the
coarse aggregate only in the forms and thoroughly
compacting it to form a pre-packed mass.

Concrete pavers are a very


popular building material used
to pave driveways, walkways,
patios, and other surfaces.
Though they are often referred to
as "cement pavers," that term is a
bit misleading. ... Concrete pavers
are made with a dry concrete mix
containing cement, sand, gravel,
and pigments

CONSTRUCTION OF A
NEW RAILWAY TRACK

Prepared By:
Dr.A.S.Pathan
Asst. Professor
DIEMS, Aurangabad
Construction of a New Railway Line
The construction of a new railway track can be
divided into three stages.

1. Earth work.

2. Plate laying

3. Laying of ballast
Earth work
The formation may be in an embankment or a
cutting depending upon the general topography of the
area.

A formation in an embankment is normally


preferred from the point of view of good drainage.

The height of embankment above highest water in


the area should be at least 60 cm.
Earth work

Gauge Type of Width of Formation


formation Single line Double line

B.G Embankment 6.10m 10.82m

Cutting 5.40m 10.21m

M.G Embankment 4.88m 8.84m

Cutting 4.27m 8.23m


Plate laying
 The operation of laying out of the rails and sleepers over the
ready formation is known as plate laying.
The point from where the laying of track starts is known as
the base and the point upon which the new track is carried
out is known as the rail head.

 Methods of plate laying


1. Tramline method or side method
2. Telescopic method
3. American method
Tram line method or side method:
This method is used for plate laying in flat country
 Used when new track is laid next to the existing
track
 For plate laying of new track, either of the
following two methods may be adopted
 (i)A service road is constructed parallel to the
proposed track and the materials are transported
to the site of the work
(ii)A temporary rail line parallel to the proposed
track and the materials are transported in wagons.
This temporary line is known as tram line
 In this method all the materials are taken from
the central depot in material trains on the
existing track and are spread on the formation of
new track
 After completing spreading, the work of
assembling is started from one end manually
Tram Line Method or Side Method
Telescopic method:
This method is used very widely in India
 The material are transported in material train to
the farthest point of new track and unloaded.
 These materials are then transported to the point
where work is in progress and different
components of track are assembled here.
 In all 5 operations are involved in telescopic
method.
OPERATIONS INVOLVED
1. Collection and Preparation of material at depot
2. Transportation of materials from depot to work site
3. Unloading of material at the worksite and carrying
them to rail head
4. Fixing the rail to the sleepers and joining the two
rails with fish plate or by welding

5. Packing of track for correct level and alignment


American method
This method involves all mechanical work
• This method consists of fixing rails to the sleepers
and lifting the whole unit by heavy cranes.
• First one is linked with the rail head, then the
train moves ahead by one rail length and the same
procedure is repeated.
• This method is un-economical one and is not used
in India
Laying of ballast
The ballast is normally spread on the railway lines after the
embankment has settled well and at least two monsoons have passed
over it.
The work of spreading the ballast is done by means of ballast trains,
which have special hoppers through which the ballast can be
automatically unloaded onto the track.
Alternatively, ballast is loaded in wagons of the train and then
unloaded at the site into a number of heaps at suitable intervals along
the track.

 Then packing of ballast is done by the workers by means of shovels.


TRAIN USED FOR LAYING BALLAST
Method of relaying:
• Work of relaying the track is normally divided into the
following stages:
• (i)Preliminary work:
• To prepare schedule of materials per 100m length or
per km of the track.
• The entire quantity is collected at the central store,
from which day to day requirements is drawn
(ii)Laying of the track:
 Removal of the fittings.
 Removal of rails and sleepers
 Placing of new sleepers
 Laying of rails
 Laying of second rail
 Finishing
iii)Construction of the track:
 Tightening of the fittings
 Distribution of ballast
 Further packing of ballast
 Return of released material to store
Maintenance of track:
• The railway track requires proper watch and
ward for security reasons

Maintenance of railway track consists of


• (i) Daily maintenance (ii) Periodic Maintenance
• For daily maintenance the track is divided in to
sections of 5 to 8 kms lengths.

• Each section is look after by a gang


The daily maintenance consists of
 General inspection of the track
 Checking up of all fastenings and fittings
 Tightening of bolts wherever required
 Reporting by unusual occurrence
 The periodic maintenance consists of detailed inspection of the
track to detect defects in the track which may not be detected during
daily maintenance.
 The various aspects of periodic maintenance are as below
 Maintenance of track alignment
 Maintenance of track drainage
 Maintenance of track components
 Maintenance of level crossing
Maintenance of track materials:
 The top surface of the rails should be kept at the same level
 Ballast under sleepers should be regularly packed
 Defective sleepers should be replaced immediately
 Worn-out rails should be replaced
 Kink or fracture rails should be replaced
 Fastening should be tightened and oiled
 Gauge should be checked and corrected
 Ensure that both the rails are at same level
 Maintain track drainage properly
 Oiling and greasing of fishplates regularly
 Flanges and check rails should be kept free from dust
Maintenance of Bridges:
Proper embankment should be provided near the bridge
Avoid scouring near abutments and piers
Flood control measures should be taken near the bridges
Riveted joints should be inspected periodically
Bed blocks should be checked regularly
Steel bridges should be painted regularly
Bearings of the girders should be oiled regularly
Masonry works should be inspected regularly
Maintenance of rolling stock:
Lubrication of all reciprocating parts and bearings
Worn out parts should be replaced the rolling stock
It is necessary to clean the different parts every day
All axles which have run 3,22,000Km should be
replaced
A passenger vehicle used for 30years should be
dismantled and re-assembled
The locomotive boilers have to be carefully
maintained and removed every 15 years

Module 6:
Diaphragm walls: purpose and construction methods, safety
measures in construction, prevention of accidents and
introduction to disaster management
DIAPHRAGM WALLS

Welcome All of You – (Module -5) By Dr. A.S.Pathan


INTRODUCTION
 Diaphragm walls are underground structural
elements commonly used for:
i. Retention Systems
ii. Permanent Foundation Walls
 It is an in-situ reinforced concrete structure that is
constructed panel by panel.
 The wall is usually designed to reach very great
depth, sometimes up to 50m.

Welcome All of You – (Module -6) By Dr. A.S.Pathan


Diaphragm wall

Welcome All of You – (Module -6) By Dr. A.S.Pathan


 Diaphragm walls of shallow depths are often left
unsupported since they are classed as semi rigid
structures.
 However for deeper excavations support is required to
restrict lateral deflections.
 Diaphragm walls are ideal for soft clays and loose sands
below the water table where there is a need to control
lateral movements.

Welcome All of You – (Module -6) By Dr. A.S.Pathan


Welcome All of You – (Module -6) By Dr. A.S.Pathan
Welcome All of You – (Module -6) By Dr. A.S.Pathan
DIAPHRAGM WALL APPLICATIONS
•Underground stations
•Multi-level car parks
•Open cut tunnels
•Bays in the water for shipbuilding and ship repair
•Quay Walls
•Tunnel ventilation shafts
•Support for open or top down excavations
•Groundwater flow barrier
•Retaining wall
•Cut-off provision to support deep excavation
•Final wall for basement or other underground structure (e.g. tunnel and shaft)
•Separating structure between major underground facilities
•As a form of foundation (barrette pile –rectangular pile)
•Used in congested areas
•Practically suited for deep basements.
Welcome All of You – (Module -6) By Dr. A.S.Pathan
TYPICAL SEQUENCE OF WORK INCLUDES (Diaphragm
wall

a) Construct the guide wall.


b) Excavation to form the diaphragm wall trench.
c) Support the trench cutting using bentonite slurry.
d)Inert reinforcement and placing of concrete to form the
wall panel.

Welcome All of You – (Module -6) By Dr. A.S.Pathan


FURTHER EXPLANATION ON THE WORK
SEQUENCES

 Guide wall –

 Guide wall is two parallel concrete beams


constructed along the side of the wall
 Guide walls maintain the horizontal alignment and
wall continuity of a diaphragm wall while they provide
support for the upper soils depth during panel
excavation.

Welcome All of You – (Module -6) By Dr. A.S.Pathan


Welcome All of You – (Module -6) By Dr. A.S.Pathan
 Trench excavation –
 In normal soil condition excavation is done using a
clamshell or grab suspended by cables to a crane.
 In case of encountering boulders, a gravity hammer

(chisel) will be used to break the rock and then take the
spoil out using the grab.
 The technique involves excavating a narrow trench that is
kept full of an engineered fluid or slurry.
 The slurry exerts hydraulic pressure against the trench
walls and acts as shoring to prevent collapse.

Welcome All of You – (Module -6) By Dr. A.S.Pathan


Welcome All of You – (Module -6) By Dr. A.S.Pathan
Welcome All of You – (Module -6) By Dr. A.S.Pathan
 Excavation support –
 The sides inside the trench cut can collapse easily.

 Bentonite slurry is used to protect the sides of soil.

 Reinforcement –
 Reinforcement is inserted in the form of a steel cage,
but may be required to lap a few sections in order to
reach the required length.

Welcome All of You – (Module -6) By Dr. A.S.Pathan


Welcome All of You – (Module -6) By Dr. A.S.Pathan
 Concreting –
 Placing of concrete is done using tremie pipes to avoid the
segregation of concrete.
 As concrete being poured down, bentonite will be

displaced due to its lower density than concrete.


 Bentonite is then collected and reused

Welcome All of You – (Module -6) By Dr. A.S.Pathan


Welcome All of You – (Module -6) By Dr. A.S.Pathan
JOINING FOR THE DIAPHRAGM WALL PANEL
 Diaphragm wall cannot be constructed continually for
a very long.
 The wall is usually constructed in alternative

section.
 Two stop end tubes will be placed at the ends of
the excavated trench before concreting.
 The tubes are withdrawn at the same time of
concreting so that a semi-circular end section is
formed.

Welcome All of You – (Module -6) By Dr. A.S.Pathan


 Wall sections are formed alternatively leaving an
intermediate section in between. The in-between
sections are built similarly afterward but without the
end tube.
 At the end a continual diaphragm wall is constructed
with the panel sections tightly joined by
the semi-circular groove.

Welcome All of You – (Module -6) By Dr. A.S.Pathan


CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE

Welcome All of You – (Module -6) By Dr. A.S.Pathan


APPLICATIONS
 As permanent and temporary foundation walls for deep
basements.
 In earth retention schemes for highway and tunnel projects.
 As permanent walls for deep shafts for tunnel access.
 As permanent cut-off walls through the core of earth dams.
 In congested areas for retention systems and
permanent foundation walls.
 Deep ground water barriers through and under dams.

Welcome All of You – (Module -6) By Dr. A.S.Pathan


BENEFITS OF DIAPHRAGM WALLS
 Can be installed through virtually all soil conditions, to
any plan geometry and to considerable depths.
 Can be constructed ahead of time and independent of
other site activities.
 Can be constructed in relatively low headroom and in
areas of restricted access walls can be quickly formed
several hundred feet deep and through rock, with good
control over geometry and continuity.

Welcome All of You – (Module -6) By Dr. A.S.Pathan


DISADVANTAGES
 They are relatively costly.
 They are also unsuited to strong soils conditions
where penetration is slow and difficult due to the
use of the slurry trench method.

Welcome All of You – (Module -6) By Dr. A.S.Pathan
