WATERPROOFING OF TOILET AND WC PAN FIXING.

WATERPROOFING OF WC AND WC PAN FIXING

Preparation before commencement of waterproofing in WC :

  • Completion of internal plaster of walls leaving a margin of 18" from the final floor level of wc unit.
  • Completion of grooving and chasing for concealed work piping work and electrical conduits in wc unit.
  • Removing of all debris from toilet and chisel the extra mortar which is stick on the slab of wc.
  • Completion of making holes in external walls for connecting nahini trap, P trap, Floor trap etc. for the external drainage line.
  • Level marking on wall with respect to floor level to set trap level.


Socketing work if needed :
  • In case of leakages in the base slab, socketing work should be done in following system.
  • Fill the water above wc slab with thickness of 70 mm and keep the slab filled for at least 12 hours.
  • Check for any leakage in slab or underneath.
  • If a major leakage is observed, locate the spot with the porous concrete and provide a socket for grouting.
  • In addition, Provide each socket at every corner of wc unit.
  • Grout every socket with the cement slurry with proportion of 1:100 in which 1 denotes 1 cement bag and 100 denotes 100 liter water.
  • Spread the slurry with velocity on the porous concrete or you can use a pressure pump for it.
  • It is further understood that the processing of socketing and grouting is to be continued until the leakage would not stop. 
  • After completion of cement grouting and check for any leakages, Remove the sockets from the slab..
Coating for waterproofing :
  • Make the cement mortar of proportion 1:4 and applied on the surface of slab of 25 to 40 mm.
  • The ratio of slope should be 1:100 from the entrance door towards the drain pipe.
  • Carry out this base coat on the walls upto 450 mm height from the finish floor level.
  • Keep this base coat full with water to minimum 4 days for curing and testing purposes.
  
Brick coat for waterproofing :
  • Take well burnt bricks for laying and immersed them in water to get wet thoroughly for 30 mins.
  • lay the brick on the edges, not on the flat surface.
  • Any gap between the bats should be filled with the mortar.
  • Complete the brick bat coat with joints filled with cement mortar proportion of 1:6. Also use the waterproofing compounds in cement mortar.
  • Give a slope of 1:100 in brick bat coat from entrance door towards water escaping pipe or drain pipe.
  • After set this coat Keep it in water for 4 days curing period.

Topping coat for waterproofing :
  • After curing of the brick bat coat, Provide topping coat of cement mortar of proportion 1:4 with water proofing compound use of 1 to 2 % on weight of cement.
  • Finish this final coat with metal float.
  • Rough the surface by wire brush for adhesion of tile fixing above it.
  • Continue this coat on wall upto 450 mm height from the finish floor level of wc. This coat should not project from plastering layer.
  • Cure this final coat for minimum 7 days.


WC pan fixing and waterproofing : 
  • Fix wc pan at the desired level. Considering 15 mm down from the floor level.
  • Block the p trap outlets with gunny bags and fill the wc pan with sand to prevent any damages during waterproofing.
  • Check the wc pan for its centre.
  • Fill the extra gap around wc pan over the topping coat with brick bat and mortar in layer upto 75 mm down from the top of wc pan.
  • Allow curing for minimum 4 days.
  • The final topping coat should be done upto below 50 mm down from the top of wc pan for tile fixing.
  • Curing the topping coat for minimum 7 days.

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

CLASSIFICATION OF STAIR AND THEIR USES

Image
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. Turning stairs 3. Continuous stairs 1. Straight stairs: Generally for small houses, available width is very retractable. So, this type of straight stairs are used in such conditions which runs straight between two floors. This stair may consists of either one single flight or more than one flight with a landing. 2. Turning stairs: Turning stairs are sub classified as: a) Quarter turn stairs b) Half turn

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
