  2. Check for thickness level & line and right angle.
  3. Proportion of mortar.
  4. Addition quantity of water proofing compounds.
  5. Proper roughing of first coat.
  6. Cleaning of dead mortar.
  7. Check for waviness.
  8. Check for grooves.
  9. Application of cement slurry before plastering only on concrete surface.
  10. Cutting of specified height of skirting.
  11. Check for lime and cement slurry/paste proportion for good and identical appearance.

TYPES OF CRACKS IN R.C.C COLUMNS

Image
Columns are load transferring member of structure. It transfers load from slab and beam to foundation. When an excess loads are activated on column or due to poor quality of concrete or workmanship, it results in a several cracks in column. Types of cracks develop in column are given below : 1. Diagonal crack 2. Horizontal crack 3. Corrosion crack 4. Splitting crack 1. Diagonal crack :  This type of crack developed in the column due to insufficient reinforcement and inadequate cross section of column. The main cause for developing diagonal cracks poor load carrying capacity of column. Diagonal crack can affect the soundness of structure hence it needs to be handle properly. 2. Horizontal crack : Horizontal crack in reinforced concrete column is generally found at the beam-column joint, and on column face where tensile stress is massive. Columns with insufficient moment resistance strength, inadequate reinforcements, or disposition of installed reinforcement may l

STAIR TYPES AND THEIR USES Types of stairs is widely based on the shape of the stairs. Straight stairs, Turning stairs and Continuous stairs are broad types of stairs. A stair is a set of steps leading from one floor of a building to another, typically inside the building. The room or enclosure of the building, in which the stair is located is known as staircase. The opening or space occupied by the stair is known as a stairway. Types of Stairs – Classification of stairs: Stairs can be broadly classified into three types: 1. Straight stairs 2.

CHECKLIST FOR TERRACE WATERPROOFING (BRICK BAT COBA)

The following point should kept in mind during waterproofing work : Remove extra mortar accumulated on terrace and clean the surface clean with   water. Fresh slurry is prepared by mixing cement with 1-2% super seal powder (acrylic based chemical). Leave sufficient margin (approx. 150mm) w/p from terrace door bottom   level. Mark the levels on parapet wall all   round. Provide rain water pipe outlet bend in correct   position. Make available well burnt brick bats, properly soaked in   water. Check for levels & proper slope towards, rain water pipe   outlet. Fix   the   bricks   &   fill   the   joints   of   brick   bats   with   C.M.   1:5   and   maintain   a   slope   of   1:150   with   waterproofing compound. Proper round shape to the mortar near water   pipe. Curing of brickbat coba for 7   days. Spread the cement mortar of 1:4 proportion along with waterproofing compound over brick bat   coba. Apply cement slurry over the surface along with waterproofi
