• Construction Site Methods
1. Concrete Construction Method
- is a method of pouring concrete mix containing aggregates
and cement into a formwork from bottom up to filling the top.
2. Masonry Construction Method
- Is a popular building method because it provides strength,
durability, and its resistance to environmental setting e.g. fire,
noise, and insects. It constitute of masonry materials such as
concrete blocks, mortar, grout, and steel.
3. Hybrid Construction Method
- this method is an integration of using both precast concrete
materials and materials created on site. This method uses a
combination of materials, e.g. wood, concrete, and steel to
provide a cost-effective and sustainability to building
structures.
4. Steel Framing Construction Method
- Steel framing is a building technique used to provide
resistance to lateral and gravity load by formation of steel to
beam, column, and slab or also known as “skeleton frame”.
5. Wood Framing Construction Method
- Wood framing is the same wit steel framing by the usage of
“skeleton frame” but differs in the material used. There are
two main methods in wood framing, light-frame construction
and heavy-frame construction. The light-frame construction
utilizes numerous, smaller supports, while the heavy-frame
construction uses lesser but heavier supports in the frame.
Some other wood framing construction: balloon, platform,
planks and beam, and truss-framed.
• Different Types of Building Foundations
1. Shallow Foundations
a. Individual Foundation
- Also known as isolated footing, wherein foundation is built
for a single column with a single footing.

b. Strip Foundation
- Foundation used in low-rise and mid-rise structures when
ground is in good condition. From the word its itself ‘strip’, it
utilizes a concrete strip that extends beneath all load-bearing
walls
c. Combined Foundation
- A foundation with two or more column sitting on a single-
spread footing. The method is only used under specific
circumstances, such as an area having low soil bearing
capacity.
d. Raft Footing
- a footing foundation where a concrete slab is spread on a large
area to support both walls and column above.
2. Deep Foundations
a. Pile Foundation
- uses ground-drilled cylinders to support the structures built
on top of it. Piles can either be timber, concrete, or steel.
b. Drilled Shafts
- is a popular deep foundation type that is used for most large-
scale projects. It consists of drilling cylindrical shafts into the
ground and filling them with concrete to help resist the
overall load of a building.
• Different Types of Piles and Pile Driving Equipment
1. Piles
a. Bored Pile
b. Driven Pile
c. Screw Pile
d. Timber Pile
e. Steel Pile
f. Concrete Pile
2. Pile Driving Equipment
a. Diesel Hammer
b. Vertical Travel Lead Systems
c. Hydraulic Hammer
d. Hydraulic Press-in
e. Vibratory Pile Driver/Excavator

• Concrete Construction Equipment
a. Types and Uses; when are they more ideal to be used?
b. Productivity
c. Operating Costs and Economic Life Span
1. Concrete Conveyor
- Equipment that carries concrete horizontally or vertically.
This type of conveyor is usually cheaper and may reduce the
need for cranes and other such equipment. It is ideal for large
projects like dams and power plants because of their placing
capacity. They also allow companies to save on labor cost as
it only requires few people to operate.
2. Concrete Crusher
- Equipment typically used for waste management of
demolition. Demolitions typically dismantles structures
made up of concretes, which leaves off waste concretes. Such
that, concrete crushers are used to recycle concrete wastes.
3. Concrete Tank
- Are used built to store, well, concrete. They’re usually
installed on a higher ground and have pipes at the bottom for
the concrete to pass through to the site.
4. Concrete Paver
- Equipment used to lay asphalt concrete. Paving is made
considerably simpler and quicker since concrete may be
constantly poured from a moving vehicle. Additionally,
because the pouring and leveling are done simultaneously, it
guarantees uniform thickness.
5. Concrete Vibrator
- It is a tool that produces vigorous vibration to evenly spread
a concrete pour by eliminating air pockets and bubbles.
Typically used in concreting beam, column, and slab.
6. Concrete Mixer
- Equipment for mixing cement, aggregates, and water to make
concrete. A concrete mixer is typically a single machine,
although it could serve the same purpose as a batching plant.
On the other hand, batching plants are a part of an entire
production chain.
7. Concrete Pump

-Equipment utilized to move concrete mix from the
manufacturing site to the casting location. One piston pulls
the concrete from the source, while another pushes it into the
discharge pipe, to make it operate. Line and boom are the two
types of concrete pump.
8. Concrete Batching Plant
- also referred to as a concrete plant, combines several
components to create concrete. These substances include
sand, aggregate, slag, cement, fly ash, and water.
