SCAFFOLDING, SHORING, UNDER PINNING

Image
• When height above floor level exceeds 1.5 m a temporary structure is erected for a safe working platform for worker and space for materials  TERMS  1. STANDARDS : vertical members of framework, supported on the ground  2. LEDGERS : horizontal members // to the wall  3. PUTLOGS : transverse members, one side supported on ledgers & other on wall  4. TRANSOM : both the edges are supported on ledgers  5. BRACES : diagonal pieces fixed on standards  6. BRIDLE : a piece used to bridge an opening to walls and support putlog  7. GUARD RAIL : rail parallel to ledgers at working level for safety  8. TOE BOARD : board placed // to ledger & supported by putlogs  9. RAKERS : inclined support  TYPES OF SCAFFOLDINGS  1. SINGLE / PUTLOG / BRICKLAYER SCAFFOLDING  • Most common type  • Mostly used in brickwork  • Spacing b/w standards : 2 - 2.5 m  • Vertical distance b/w ledgers : 1.2 - 1.8 m  • Horizont...

TACHEOMETRIC SURVEYING - Civil Engineering Notes KPSC

Image
TACHEOMETRIC SURVEYING  • Tachometry is a branch of angular surveying in which the horizontal and vertical distances ofpoints are obtained by instrumental observations.  • Chaining is entirely eliminated in tachometry.  • This method is most rapid but less accurate.  • The accuracy of tachometry is less than that of chaining  • The primary object of tacheometry is the preparation of contoured map or plan.  • The instruments used in tacheometry are a tacheometer and a leveling or stadia rod.  • Tacheometer is a transit theodolite having a stadia telescope ie, a telescope fitted with two additional cross hairs called stadia hairs. • Stadia rod is 5 cm to I5 cm wide and 3 to 4m long. It is graduated in meters, decimeters and centimeters. • For short sights up to 100m a stadia theodolite and a leveling staff may be used. But for long sights, say more than 300m a tacheometer and stadia rod are required.  TACHEOMETRIC METHOD  I. STADIA METHODS...
