OBSERVATION ON CIVIL ENGINEERING STANDARD METHOD OF MEASURE

Earthwork
How to estimate leads and lifts of disposal?
The standard should differentiate (the earthwork done in
a) Work under water
b) Earthwork under foul situation
c) Work under tidal condition
d) Work under snow
Special pumping for dewatering needs to be
mentioned. The rate of pumping required
needs to be standardised. The measuring unit
Classification of soil should be based upon
the method of excavation and not on mere
nomenclature
Minimum prescribed distance from where
the excavation should be commenced should be
mentioned based on geotechnical report.
Working space beyond the face of the foundation
should be specified for each type of structure.
Kindly provide the standard for Dewatering technique to be adopted at the
place where any structural element will be resting. How to evaluate this kind of work
RCC and PCC works
How to take measurements for estimating columns
and beams in diagrams?
While doing blinding concrete over rocky surface
special regulation needs to be standardised inorder
to prevent the contractor from overexcavating the rock
and filling more blinding concrete than required
Class F M1 related to grooves throats, fillets, chamfers or internal
splays each should not exceed 40cm2 not 0.01m2 in c/s area
FORM WORKS
The description of formwork has to be mentioned in the definitions col
likewise, What are the components included in while doing formworks
.The following components should be included supports, struts,
braces, wedges, bolts, wire ties, clamps, spreader, scaffolds, laddes
and gangways. Oil dressing in the surface of the formwork to prevent adhesion
needs to be specifically mentioned.
"Formworks shall not be measured for the following edge of blinding concrete
not exceeding 0,2m. Generally we used to give 0,1m thickness. To the maximum, we
provide 0,15m for water retaining structures. It wooud have been better to change the
thickness as 0,2m instead of 0,15m
Kindly add the clause, formworks should be measured seperately for slab thickness less
than 200m and for slabs greater than 200mm
REINFORCEMENT BARS
The measurement of spacer bars to be mentioned in the book as it may help to
estimate the steel which the contractor has used for his necessary works.
Kindly guide how to estimate the supporting bars and tie bars for the vertical

erection of the reinforcement cage and for shuttering.
