6.2 What is screeding, and how can it be done after the placement
of concrete in the formwork?
6.4 Explain floating and the types of tools used to carry out the
floating operation.
6.1)
Placing of Concrete: Placing concrete involves transferring freshly mixed concrete from the
mixer to the formwork. Before placement, the formwork is set up and properly secured.
During placement, concrete is poured into the formwork in layers, ensuring even
distribution. Workers use shovels, buckets, or pumps to place the concrete accurately,
avoiding segregation and ensuring a uniform surface.
6.2)
Screeding: Screeding is the process of leveling freshly poured concrete. After concrete
placement, a screed, typically a long, straight board or a specialized screeding tool, is used
to smooth the surface. It is dragged across the concrete, removing excess material and
filling low spots. The screed is guided along the formwork edges to achieve the desired
level and flatness.
6.3)
Finishing of Concrete: Finishing concrete involves enhancing its surface texture and
appearance. The steps include:
1. Bull Floating: After screeding, a bull float (a large, flat tool) is used to compact the
concrete and fill voids. It smoothens the surface.
2. Edging: An edging tool creates rounded edges along the concrete to prevent
chipping.
3. Jointing: Control joints are created using a groover to prevent cracking by controlling
where the concrete will crack.
4. Broom Finishing: A broom is dragged across the surface to create a textured finish,
enhancing traction and preventing slips.
5. Curing: The finished surface is covered with wet burlap or kept moist to allow proper
curing, ensuring strength and durability.
6.4)
Floating Operation: Floating is a finishing process done after the initial setting of concrete.
It smoothens and compacts the surface. There are two types:
1. Bull Floating: This is the initial floating using a bull float to create a smooth, even
surface.
2. Hand Floating: A hand float is used for detailed floating, providing a finer finish. It is
typically done after bull floating to eliminate imperfections.
Q7: Answer the following questions: Satisfactory
response
7.1. Explain the uses of channels in construction. Yes No
7.5. Explain the key functions of simple concrete aprons and slabs.
7.1)
Uses of Channels in Construction: Channels, also known as U-channels, have various
applications in construction, such as:
1. Drainage: Channels are used to create effective drainage systems, directing
rainwater away from structures and landscapes.
2. Edge Restraints: Channels provide sturdy borders for pavements, driveways, and
pathways, preventing the spread of the surface material.
3. Utilities: They house utility lines like electrical wiring, ensuring protection and easy
access for maintenance.
4. Landscaping: Channels are used in landscaping to create defined borders for flower
beds, lawns, or decorative pathways.
7.2)
Steps to Make Concrete Garden Edges:
1. Prepare the Area: Dig a trench along the garden edge and compact the soil.
2. Mix Concrete: Prepare a concrete mix to the desired consistency.
3. Pour Concrete: Pour the concrete into the trench, using forms to create the desired
shape.
4. Level and Finish: Use a screed board to level the concrete. Finish the surface with a
trowel or textured roller for desired appearance.
5. Cure and Seal: Cover the edges with plastic to cure slowly, enhancing strength.
Apply a concrete sealer for protection.
7.3)
Steps to Lay Concrete Pathways:
1. Prepare the Base: Clear the path area and prepare a compacted gravel base.
2. Formwork: Install wooden forms along the sides of the path to define its shape.
3. Pour Concrete: Pour the concrete mix into the formwork evenly.
4. Screed and Finish: Use a screed board to level the concrete. Finish the surface with a
trowel for a smooth texture or a broom for a non-slip finish.
5. Curing: Cover the pathway with damp burlap or plastic sheeting to cure for several
days, ensuring proper strength development.
7.4)
Procedure for Excavating a Posthole:
1. Mark the Spot: Determine the location for the posthole and mark it clearly.
2. Digging: Use a posthole digger or an auger to dig the hole to the required depth and
diameter.
3. Check Depth: Ensure the hole is deep enough for the intended purpose, considering
the frost line and post length.
4. Level the Bottom: Level the bottom of the hole for stable placement of the post.
5. Backfill: After placing the post, backfill the hole with soil, tamping it down to secure
the post.
7.5)
Key Functions of Simple Concrete Aprons and Slabs:
1. Driveway Aprons: Provide a smooth transition between driveways and the road,
ensuring durability against vehicular traffic.
2. Sidewalk Slabs: Create safe pedestrian pathways, offering a stable and even surface
for walking.
3. Patio Slabs: Form the foundation for outdoor patios, supporting furniture and
outdoor activities.
4. Utility Slabs: Support utility installations like air conditioning units, generators, or
water tanks, ensuring stability and preventing shifting.
● Troweled
● Wood-floated
Broomed Finish:
A broomed finish is achieved by dragging a broom across the concrete surface after it has
been leveled. This process creates a textured finish, enhancing traction and making the
surface less slippery. Broomed finishes are often used for outdoor areas like sidewalks and
driveways to improve safety, especially in areas prone to wet conditions.
Troweled Finish:
Troweled finishes involve using a steel trowel to smooth and level the surface of freshly
poured concrete. This method produces a glossy, smooth surface that is visually appealing
and easy to clean. Troweled finishes are commonly used for indoor floors, countertops, and
decorative concrete applications where a polished appearance is desired.
Troweling Machine Finish:
Troweling machines, also known as power trowels, are mechanical devices equipped with
rotating blades or pans. They are used to achieve a smooth and level surface on large
concrete areas quickly. The machine is guided over the concrete, providing consistent
pressure and finishing. Troweling machine finishes are ideal for larger projects like
warehouse floors and industrial spaces, ensuring efficiency and uniformity.
Wood-Float Finish:
Wood-floating is a traditional method where a wooden float (usually made of hardwood) is
used to smooth and level the concrete surface. This technique creates a textured finish that
is less smooth than troweled finishes but still relatively even. Wood-floated finishes are
often used for outdoor applications like patios and sidewalks, providing a rustic appearance
and a good grip for pedestrians.
9.4 Discuss the process of mixing concrete. Name any two (2)
mixing techniques used on site to mix the concrete into the
desired proportion.
9.1)
Properties, Uses, and Limitations of Hardened Concrete:
● Aggregates: Include sand and crushed stone, providing bulk and stability.
9.3)
Factors Affecting Concrete Strength During Mixing and Placing:
● Water-Cement Ratio: Influences the strength; higher ratios weaken the concrete.
● Mix Proportion: Proper proportions of cement, sand, and aggregates are crucial.
9.4)
Process of Mixing Concrete and Two Mixing Techniques:
● Process: Involves combining dry ingredients, adding water, and mixing until
homogenous.
● Methods: Curing can be done through ponding, wet coverings, wet burlap, or
chemical curing compounds. Proper curing enhances strength, durability, and
resistance.
9.6)
Importance of Vibration of Concrete and Reasons to Avoid Over-Vibration:
Q10: Explain the techniques to achieve the levelling of concrete. Write Satisfactory
the answer. response
Yes No
Achieving a level concrete surface is vital for structural integrity. Several techniques ensure
evenness. Manual screeding involves dragging a flat tool across wet concrete, suitable for
medium-sized projects. Bull floating, using a large, flat tool, is ideal for larger outdoor
slabs. Laser leveling employs precision with laser-guided equipment, perfect for large-scale
projects. Vibrating screeds aid in compaction, fitting driveways and sidewalks. Power
troweling, with rotating blades, delivers a polished finish for interiors. Self-leveling concrete
mixes naturally spread, ideal for uneven surfaces. The technique choice depends on project
size, desired finish, and accuracy requirements.
● Visualization: Plans aid workers in visualizing the project, helping them understand
the layout and dimensions accurately.
12.2)
Importance of Drawings in Concreting:
● Quality Assurance: Specifications set standards, ensuring that the work meets
desired quality levels, enhancing the longevity and stability of the structure.
Q13: Calculate the amount of concrete required for a floor, 5.6m Satisfactory
long, 4.5m wide and 150mm thick. response
Yes No
To calculate the volume of concrete required, use the formula:
Volume=Length×Width×Height
In this case, the length is 5.6 m5.6m, the width is 4.5 m4.5m, and the thickness (height) is
150 mm or 0.15 m.
Volume=5.6 m×4.5 m×0.15m
volume=5.6m×4.5m×0.15m
Volume=3.78 m3
So, 3.78 m33.78m3 of concrete is required for the floor.
