Presentation On

CONSTRUCTION OF MULTISTORIED BOYS HOSTEL

 Introduction
 Need of New Hostel
 Location
 Salient Features of the Project.
Estimated Cost - 30.5 crore (19 crore for
structure )
Built Up Area - 2,62,000 sq.ft
 Construction and Maintenance
Section of
Thapar University (CMS)

 Origin of CMS
 Projects Undertaken By CMS
 Construction Process
 Site Clearance
 Demarcation of Site
 Excavation : 5’4” with
JCB’s and manually
Construction Process contd.
PCC
Mix =1:5:10
Layer of 4”
Compacted from 15
mm to 10mm with
rammer
30 degree angle at
joints
Surface is watered
and cleared
 Construction Process contd.
 Foundation: Raft And
Isolated
 We Assured
1) Steel is free from dirt
2) Proper binding of
steel
3) Cover blocks
 Reinforcement
 Type of Steel :Fe 415
Kamdhenu
 Terms Used
 Lap Length = Not
More than 50% of bars
are cut at one section
 Anchorage Length
Column=47d
Beams/Slab=58d
 Cover Blocks 1:3
Reinforcement contd..

Beams 0.75
 Shuttering And Scaffolding
 Treatment of forms:
Cleaned with iron brush
to make sure no
dirt/concrete
 Erection : Checking the
alignment
 Stripping Time
Slab = 8-10 days in
summers and 10-12 days
in winter
Checked No wooden Ballies
were used
Shuttering And Scaffolding
contd…
 Concreting
 Facts about cement &
concrete -PPC 53
 M25 consisting
Water Content: 180 kg/m³
Cement Content: 409.10
(kg/m³)
Super-plasticizer: 1.5% by
weight of cement
 Concrete Mixer and
Batching Plant with
capacity of 30m³/hr
 1 lot=0.5m³
 Concreting cont…
 Pouring Of Concrete
Checks
 Oiling of Shuttering
plates
 Cover Blocks

 Compaction
 150mm and 115 mm
depth is achieved
 Proper compaction at
joints
 Use of vibrator and
steel rods
 Concreting cont…
 Curing
 Check On Curing in Morning
 Marking of Dates of Casting

 Reasons for lack of quality in concrete

work
 Too Much Water
 Inadequate Compaction
 Inadequate Curing/Shuttering
Tests Conducted On Site
 Slump Test
 Allowable limit = 100mm
 Test values at site were in
the range of 80-90
 Tests Conducted On Site
 Compression Test
 6 Cubes were casted
 3 for site lab and 3 for
university lab testing
 7 day strength = 23-
24N/mm²
 28 days =32-33N/mm²
 Brickwork
 Alignment
 1:4 for 4.5’
 1:6 for 9’
 Single Steel bar of 8mm
or 2 bars of 6mm every
4th course
 Assessment of Quality of
Bricks
 Metallic Sound And Should
Not Break If Dropped From
1m
 Doors and Windows
Steel frames were used in place of wood
1:2:4 Jeera bajri was used to fill the
empty space

Opening In Dimension
Room ( L*B)ft²
Air 2.5*1.5
Condition
Window 3.25*5.25
Door 3*8.25
 Plastering
 Checking Of
Plastering Material
like cement used and
wire mesh
 1:4 for 10mm on
ceiling and 1:3 for
12.5 mm on walls
 Checking Alignment
with the help of
wooden plank
Electrical Conduiting
 Office Work
 Checking Of Record Maintenance of
Cement /Steel
 Filling of records of scheduled and actual
date of casting
 Mix Design
 Calculation of Quantities Used
 Basic Design of Building using Staad Pro
 Problems Faced And Solutions
Offered
 Location Of Beam Near Mess Area :
Structural Engineer And Architect
Consulted
 Safety Precautions/ Child Labor: Not
Allowed To Work
 Problems with Mix Design / Curing /
Shuttering : Reported and there after had
continuous checks
 Thank You
Engineers … are not superhuman. They make
mistakes in their assumptions, in their
calculations, in their conclusions. That they
make mistakes is forgivable; that they catch
them is imperative. Thus it is the essence of
modern engineering not only to be able to check
one’s own work but also to have one’s work
checked and to be able to check the work of
others.
