4. Discuss about the various Checks performed after shuttering.
a. Shuttering material facing the concrete are to be applied with adequate shuttering oil in
order to get neat form finish.

c. To cover the gaps, Plaster of Paris or polythene covers etc., can be used inside the
shuttering.

Slide no: 60 - Template & Foundation bolts

1. Explain about the foundation bolts, identify the bolt and nut.
2. Purpose of using foundation bolt is for providing bond between the columns to the tower
leg.
3. Type of bolt used in foundation can be anchor bolt, J, L bent bolt in order to sustain the
uplift pressure coming from the tower.
4. Foundation bolts should be tied with reinforcement to avoid shaking of bolts while
concreting by using 18 gauge annealed wires.
5. Template is the temporary member used for giving positions to the bolts in their respective
columns.

3. After fixing the template check for the levels of the foundation bolts.
4. Protect the threading portion of the foundation bolts with oil or grease or polythene papers.

Slide no: 64

1. If foundation bolts are not vertical the tower leg can’t be fixed properly. So, that the columns
fails to transfer the tower load to the ground. Hence the life time of the tower get reduced.
2. That’s why ensuring that the proper attention to be taken in the beginning stage it self.

Slide no: 65

 If Template is not fixed properly : then Results in eccentricity

 Foundation bolts are not at the center of the beam/column hence, twisting moments
will develop in beam/column

Slide no: 66, 67, 68, and 69

1. Checks: before concreting

 Check whether all inner dimension of the shuttering are tallying with beam & column
sizes mentioned in the drawing.
 Check whether all shuttering gaps, reinforcement is as per drawing or not, foundation
bolts are vertical or not
 Bottom nut of the foundation bolt should be placed such a way that, it should be exactly
on the top of the concrete.
 Cover the threading portion of the foundation bolts with the polythene covers to avoid
sticking of the concrete
 One should NOT walk on the reinforcement or template while concreting.
