▪ Coarse Aggregate
▪ Water

4.2.2 PCC and RCC at site:

Generally, Thickness of P.C.C is taken 6 inch.


The ratio carried out at site is 1:4:8(M7.5) for P.C.C work .

4.2.3 Requirement of P.C.C:

▪ To get hard and plain surface for footing.


▪ The load of footing properly Transfer to the soil.
▪ P.C.C layer will increase bond of soil with footing R.C.C.

Gujarat Technological University 14 MGITER, Navsari


TEAM ID 715323

4.3 Marking for component:

Markings are very important for column, beam, footing and building positioning. After the
PCC, we prepare the location of footings and columns for the foundation. And the location of
every column should be accurate as per the centreline diagram and footings should be as per
the foundation diagram.
There are a lot of different types of drawings in construction drawings but here for marking
column and footing these two drawings are enough. Centreline diagram and foundation
diagram. Those drawings comes after completing excavation of building.

4.3.1 Column Markings & footing marking:

First of all, we mark the boundary points which were given by surveyor. Then as per center
line diagram we mark center lines on the P.C.C with the help of lime. Now we have all the
center line on the land just like drawing. With respect to that center line, we mark column and
draw it by marking on the P.C.C. Followed by this method all the lines are marked on ground.
Once the center is located, the dimensions of the column are measured and marked out from
the center to define the exact perimeter. This ensures that each column is placed precisely,
which is vital for the structural alignment of the building.
On site mm variation is permissible. But we ried to do accurate as much as possible.

4.4 Centre lining the footing


▪ Centreline process is carried out for accuracy of footing placement therefore plumb bob
instrument is used by the workers to get the exact placement of steel column.
▪ Short Span of Steel Jali is 10mm Dia. @ 6 inches and Long span of steel Jali is 10mm Dia.
@ 6 inches.
▪ C4,C5,C6,C8, C16,C17,C18, C19,C20,C21,C22. C9,C10,C12,C14 having dimensions

4.5 Footing:
The footing is a structural member that safely transmits the load of the upper building to the
ground, and is the first construction member of the building. The basic method of footing
design is to distribute the load so that the size per area of the load transmitted from the upper
part of the building is less than the strength that the ground can support, that is, the bearing
capacity. With this function, the footing is a structure installed between the ground and the
column or wall immediately above it, and the important point in the basic design is to reduce
the total amount of settlement and prevent the occurrence of immobile settlement.

Figure 4.5 Footing Layout

Gujarat Technological University 18 MGITER, Navsari


TEAM ID 715323

4.6 Footing work at Site


▪ Since soil was good and hard strata was found below the 5' we have adopted
Isolated footing.
▪ Dimension of footing was 4’6”x5', 5'-3" X 5'-9", 5'-9" X 6'-6", 4'-9" X 4'-9",
4'-0" X 4'-3"
▪ Single layer of mesh was provide having 6" centre to centre spacing.
▪ Extra small 2 piece of L section bars was provided on adjacent side of column.

NOTE:- Depth and Width of foundation may vary according to the design and soil bearing
capacity. Depth of foundation may vary until hard strata comes.

4.7 Column Upto Ground Beam:

The column upto the ground beam is crucial for ensuring proper load transfer, structural
stability, and alignment. It connects vertical columns to the ground beam, helping distribute
loads evenly to the foundation. This system enhances the building's safety, durability, and
load-bearing capacity while maintaining stability against lateral forces like wind or
earthquakes. Proper design of this connection is essential for the overall integrity and
longevity of the structure.

4.7.1 Ground Beam Reinforcement:

▪ Ground beam is a beam that rests on the compacted soil.


▪ The ground beam carries and transfers the super structure and external load to the
foundation columns.
▪ Process: compaction of soil.
▪ PCC for ground beam. (M7.5 ,1:4:8) (Thickness of PCC - 6").
▪ First Reinforcement binding of ground beam. (steel used 12,10&8mm).
▪ Shuttering of ground beam.
▪ Covering of ground beam. (cover used 40mm).
▪ Concreting of beam. (M20)(1:1.5:3).
▪ Deshuttering of beam.(after 24 hours).

Gujarat Technological University 22 MGITER, Navsari


TEAM ID 715323

4.8 Information of plinth beam:

Plinth beam is a reinforced concrete beam constructed between the wall and its foundation.
Plinth beam is provided to prevent the extension or propagation of cracks from the foundation
into the wall above when the foundation suffers from settlement. Plinth beams distributes the
load of the wall over the foundation evenly. It is mandatory to provide plinth beam in areas that
prone to earthquake. Construction of plinth beam above the natural ground is another
application of this type of beam.

4.8.1 Plinth beam Reinforcement:


• PB1,PB2,PB3 is of 9”x 15” in size , the steel is of 2 -12 ∅ mm in straight steel
and bent steel was 2 -10 ∅ mm at L/4 where bent up bar was 2 -10 ∅ mm.
• Stirrups of 8mm ∅ @ 4” c/c support is used and 8mm ∅ @ 6” c/c rest on
ground.
• Concrete mix of M20.

Gujarat Technological University 23 MGITER, Navsari


TEAM ID 715323

4.9 Formwork of plinth beam:

Formwork is the term used to either temporary or permanent moulds into which concrete is
poured.
The construction of formwork takes time and involves expenditure up to 20 to 25% of the cost
of the structure or even more. Design of these temporary structures is made to economic
expenditure. The operation of removing the formwork is known as stripping.
Stripped formwork can be reused. Reusable forms are known as panel forms and non-usable
are called stationary forms.
In formwork we checked the spacing between bars and wooden ply. And proper fitting of that
wooden ply.

Figure 4.9 Plinth beam

Gujarat Technological University 24 MGITER, Navsari


TEAM ID 715323

4.10 Casting of plinth beam:


Steps for Casting a Plinth Beam:
1. Preparation:
o Ensure the formwork (moulds) is properly set, aligned, and secured.
o Check reinforcement (steel bars) as per the design, ensuring it’s in the right
position.
2. Placing the Concrete:
o Mix concrete (manual or ready-mix).
o Pour the concrete into the formwork, making sure it’s filled uniformly.
3. Compaction:
o Use a vibrator to remove air pockets and ensure even distribution of concrete
around the reinforcement.
4. Levelling and Finishing:
o Level the surface of the concrete using a straightedge or trowel.
o Ensure the concrete is smooth and aligned with the formwork.
5. Curing:
o Allow the concrete to set, then remove the formwork after 24-48 hours.
o Cure the beam for 7-14 days by keeping it moist to strengthen the concrete.

TEAM ID 715323

4.11 Earth Filling:


▪ Earth filling under floors should be done in layers not more than 6” in thickness.
▪ The layer should be compacted properly. Further, the earth used for filling should be free
from grass, roots, leaves and other foreign material.
▪ It should be also slightly moist which will help to achieve optimum compaction.

4.12 Masonry Work

Masonry work is a complex of processes that includes, the basic processes (the laying of brick
or other stone in mortar, the delivery and laying out of the stone, and the smoothing of the
mortar), related auxiliary processes (the erection of scaffolding and trestles and preparation of
the materials at the construction site).

Gujarat Technological University 27 MGITER, Navsari


TEAM ID 715323

4.13 Gravel Filing

Gravel is filled at plinth level for several important reasons. It ensures proper drainage by
allowing water to flow away from the foundation, preventing water accumulation that could
weaken the building's structure over time. Gravel also helps avoid dampness and moisture from
rising through the walls, which could lead to Mold and fungal growth. It provides a stable base,
evenly distributing the load of the structure and reducing the risk of settling or shifting due to
unstable ground conditions. Additionally, gravel improves the soil's load-bearing capacity and
strengthens the overall foundation. It acts as a barrier to prevent termites and pests from
accessing the wooden parts of the building, protecting the foundation from moisture-related
damage that could cause structural issues. The gravel also helps in levelling the surface before
pouring concrete for the foundation, ensuring a dry and stable base, which contributes to the
building's longevity and durability.

SUMMARY

For the past 12 weeks, my internship at the construction site has been an incredible learning
experience. Each day begins early with a safety briefing, where I join the site supervisors in
reviewing the day's tasks. As an intern, I am actively involved in observing site operations,
assisting with documentation, and collaborating with engineers and contractors to understand
the intricacies of project execution. One of my key responsibilities is conducting inspections
to monitor the progress of various construction activities, such as foundation work, material
handling, and structural assembly. The dynamic nature of the site has taught me how to accept
the challenges and develop problem-solving skills, especially when unforeseen obstacles arise.
Engaging in discussions with experienced professionals has expanded my understanding of
construction techniques and workflow optimization. Also helps me in shaping my technical
knowledge and reinforcing the importance of teamwork, efficiency, and precision in the
construction industry
