SCAFFOLDING, SHORING, UNDER PINNING

• 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 
• Horizontal distance b/w putlog : 1.2 - 1.8 m 

2. DOUBLE / INDEPENDENT / MASONS SCAFFOLDING 
• Commonly used for stonework 
• Standards is at 20 - 30 cm from the wall 
• Distance between 2 rows of standards : 1 m 

3. CANTILEVER / NEEDLE SCAFFOLDING 
• Used when theres no hard ground for the standards to rest 

4. SUSPENDED SCAFFOLDING 
• Working platform suspended from the roof 
• Used for repair works 

5. TRESTLE SCAFFOLDING 
• Can be used upto a max height of 5 m 
• Working platform supported on movable device 
• Used for maintenance 

6. STEEL SCAFFOLDING 
• Steel tubes of dia 40 - 50 mm, thickness 5 mm are used 
• Durable, fire resistant 
• Hugh scrap value 
• Easy to erect and dismantle 
• Can be constructed to any heights 
• Expensive 

7. PATENTED SCAFFOLDING / LADDER SCAFFOLDING 
• Modified double scaffolding 
• Made up of steel 
• Working platform supported on brackets Needle / cantilever scaffolding 



SHORING 
• Temporary support to structures 
• Adjacent structure is to be dismantled 
• Defective walls to be dismantled 
• Large openings have to be made in wall 


TYPES 

1. RAKING / INCLINED SHORING 
• Needle is penetrated to the wall 150 mm 
• Inclination of rakers 45* - 75* 
• Inclined supports are given to external walls from the ground 
• Rider rakers are used in order to reduce the length of rakers 
• Large factor of safety is used in design 

2. FLYING / HORIZONTAL SHORING 
• When distance between wall is 9 m : single flying shore is used 
• When distance between wall is 9 - 12 m : double flying shore is used 
• Inclination of the strut 45* - 60* 
• Depth of fly shore : 1/30 clear span 
• Width of fly shore : 1/50 clear span 

3. DEAD / VERTICAL SHORE 
• Horizontal member needle 
• Vertical member dead shore 
• Needle is supported by dead shore 
• Used when lower part of the wall us defective 



UNDER PINNING 
• Placing new foundation over an existing foundation, 
• strengthening the existing foundations 


METHODS 

1. PIT METHOD 
• One section excavated at a time 
• If wall length long underpinning starts from center and extend to ends 

2. PILE METHOD 
• Needle act as pile cap 
• Used in water logged areas 

3. CEMENT GROUTING 
• Holes are made and grout is filled with pressure 

4. CHEMICAL CONSOLIDATION 
• An inclined pipe is driven under footing 
• sodium silicate with water is injected

MACHINE TOOLS - SHAPER MACHINE

Image
The shaper is a machine tool used primarily for:  1. Producing a flat or plane surface which may be in a horizontal, a vertical or an angular plane.  2. Making slots, grooves and keyways  3. Producing contour of concave/convex or a combination of these Working Principle: The job is rigidly fixed on the machine table. The single point cutting tool held properly in the tool post is mounted on a reciprocating ram. The reciprocating motion of the ram is obtained by a quick return motion mechanism. As the ram reciprocates, the tool cuts the material during its forward stroke. During return, there is no cutting action and this stroke is called the idle stroke. The forward and return strokes constitute one operating cycle of the shaper.  Construction: The main parts of the Shaper machine is Base, Body (Pillar, Frame, Column), Cross rail, Ram and tool head (Tool Post, Tool Slide, Clamper Box Block). Base:  - The base is a heavy cast iron casting which is fixed to the shop floor.  - It supports
