been reached.

11. Surfaces of CHB shall be plastered with cement plaster. The CHB surface to be
applied shall be thoroughly sprayed with water to ensure that voids of the CHB will
be filled with plaster grout. Cement plaster shall be planned so that its surface will
be smooth. Sand to be used on this process shall be pure sand and no impurities
are mixed that will endanger the quality of cement plaster and the work.

12. Curing of the wall area where cement plaster has been applied shall start
immediately when the cement plaster hardened. This shall be carried out by
spraying water to the surface of cement plaster. In any irregularities and cracks
on cement plastered CHB walls shall be removed and rework.

D. Structural Steel Works

When provided in the plan, structural steel works in small-scale community

infrastructures such as school buildings and other related structures are intended
for truss, rafter, purlins, girt, door jambs, window sills and others that require
structural steel materials. Steel reinforcement use in concrete works is not part of

in an area where it safe from adverse effects of the weather. If possible, the
materials shall be covered with tarpaulin.

c. Structural steel materials when stored shall not rest on the ground that its
bottom section will be corroded. When provided with supports, ensure that the
bottom section of the structural steel material will not be deformed.

d. Prior to its use, structural steel materials shall be properly inspected to ensure
that:

1. Structural steel materials are not corroded that will reduce its strength
and quality.

2. Structural steel materials are straight and not bend unless otherwise
such, is fabricated to be bended or deflected as the case maybe.

e. Rusts that are visible on the surface of the structural steel material shall be
brush and clean. In cases where rusts have penetrated the whole of the structural
frames or shapes, such structural steel materials shall be rejected and removed
from the site. Splicing such sections of the frames or shape through welding in any
form shall not be allowed.

f. Unless specified in the plan, splicing of structural steel materials such shapes
and frames shall not be tolerated.

g. Provision of plate connector at the intersections of the rafter or at the pitch of

roof shall be in accordance with the approved plans

opposing rafters have been tightened, secured and completed.

j. In the installation of rafters, splicing or jointing with plate connectors shall not
be permitted.

k. At the edge of the top of the perimeter wall of the building structural steel rafter
shall be anchored on top of the concrete beam with a pair of anchor plate positions
in such a way to receive the structural steel rafter in between. Once the structural
steel rafter is positioned in between the pair of anchor plates this shall be
connected by a bolt that will lock the structural steel rafter. Welding of the pair of
anchor bolts shall not be permitted as this is one of the causes of failure why the
entire roof of buildings was blown off during typhoons.

l. Structural steel purlins shall be connected to the structural steel rafter by U-bolt
or flat bar that is fastened at the bottom of the rafters through bolts. Welding to
connect between the structural purlins and structural rafter shall not be allowed.

sills, door jambs, supports and braces for partition and ceiling boards shall be
trimmed and cleaned.

4. All timber and wood to be used shall be treated with an anti-termite solution to
protect from termite infestation.

timber or wood to avoid unnecessary waste. Lumber to be used as purlins shall be
straight and of strong and sound quality. Lumber with defects or soft shall not be
used. Splicing of lumber for top and bottom cords of the truss, rafters and purlins
shall not be allowed.

6. All timber or lumber when fixed shall be firm and no movement or buckling is
noticeable.
