Ground treatment
Labor availability
Wooden pegs are used to mark center position of each bored pile.
The gap between two bored piles will be between 100 to 200 mm.
2)Installation of Casing
The vibro-hammer drives casing into the ground, leaving 1m
length of the casing projection from the ground
3)Augering of Borehole
The auger removes the soil within the casing to form a borehole.
The soil surrounding the borehole is supported by the casing. If
the casing is not long enough to reach the required depth in the
ground, bentonite slurry is used to support the soil below the
casing.
4)Installation of Steel Cage
The crane lifts up the steel cage and places it within the borehole.
5)Concreting of Borehole
Concrete is poured into the borehole to form the bored pile.
6)Extraction of Casing
The vibro-hammer extracts the casing from the ground
7)Repetition of Process
Steps 2 - 6 are repeated till the entire length of the contiguous
bored pile wall construction is completed.
CONSTRUCTION CHALLENGES
Verticality.
exact verticality should be maintained during whole drilling
process
Water tightness
excavation to greater depth, it is crucial to maintain specified
level with as little leakage as possible. It is then essential to be
able to build the permanent wall according to specification.
Wear and tear
Due to the long drilling lengths tool wear may be high. Wear and
tear result in impede progress.
ADVANTAGES
Presplitting also allows for steeper and more stable cuts than
any
other blasting procedure.
Protects the final cut by producing a fracture plane along the
final slope face that fractures from production blasts cannot
pass.
Can produce steeper cuts with less maintenance issues.
Performs well in hard competent rock.
Foundations
A. When considering the formwork for foundation pads
and beams, what factors would you consider important
before ordering the material?
Formwork means the temporary structure used to support a
permanent structure until the construction of the permanent
structure has advanced to the stage that it attains self-supporting.
Important aspects of the formwork operation are speed, safety,
and quality.
Speed. Speed of construction is defined as the rate in which
concrete building is raised and can be expressed in terms of
number of floors erected per week or months. Speed of
construction can be also measured in terms of in or mm of
concrete poured per hour. Formwork operations can control the
pace of construction projects.
Safety Formwork operations are risky, and workers are typically
exposed to unsafe working conditions. Partial or total failure of
