Flashing is an extended construction that is done to seal and protects joints in a building from water
penetration. Flashing is installed at the intersecting roofs, walls and parapets.
22. What is Bursting Reinforcement ?
Tensile stresses are induced during prestressing operation and the maximum bursting stress occurs
where the stress trajectories are concave towards the line of action of the load. Reinforcement is needed
to resist these lateral tensile forces.
23. What are the major problems in using pumping for concreting works?
In pumping operation, the force exerted by pumps must overcome the friction between concrete and the
pumping pipes, the weight of concrete and the pressure head when placing concrete above the pumps. In
fact, as only water is pump-able, it is the water in the concrete that transfers the pressure.
The main problems associated with pumping are the effect of segregation and bleeding. To rectify these
adverse effects, the proportion of cement is increased to enhance the cohesion in order to reduce
segregation and bleeding. On the other hand, a proper selection of aggregate grading helps to improve
the pump-ability of concrete.
24. What are the responsibilities of a construction manager?
The responsibilities of a construction manager are
• Cost Estimates
• Pre-purchase of selected materials
• Selection of bidders for bidding phase
• Analysis of proposals

• Construction supervision
25. What is Shear slump ?
Shear slump implies that the concrete mix is deficient in cohesion. Consequently, it may undergo
segregation and bleeding and thus is undesirable for durability of concrete.
26. Why is concrete weak in tension?
Concrete is made up of collection of materials (several aggregate types, cement, pozzolans, water,
air…), which are stick together with a cement paste. The “interface” zone is the weakest link in the
structure. When compressing, that interface only serves to transfer compressive stresses from one
aggregate to the next. That does not require exceptional strength.
Under tension, the aggregates are trying to pull away from each other, and the glue is what holds the
whole system together. Since it is significantly weaker than the aggregates, it is where the failure starts
at much lower stresses.
27. What is grouting?
Grout is a fluid form of concrete which is used to fill the voids.
28. What is the recommended slump for column ?

For masonry cement it shouldn’t exceed 24hours
35. The portion of a brick cut across the width is called
Bat
36. What reinforcements are used in the process of prestressing?
The major types of reinforcements used in prestressing are:
Spalling Reinforcement: The spalling stresses leads to stress behind the loaded area of the anchor
blocks. This results in the breaking off of the surface concrete. The most likely causes of such types of
stresses are Poisson`s effects strain interoperability or by the stress trajectory shapes.
Equilibrium reinforcements: This type of reinforcements are required where several anchorages exist
where the prestressing loads are applied in a sequential manner.
Bursting Reinforcements: These kinds of stresses occur in cases where the stress trajectories are
concave towards the line of action of load. In order to reduce such stresses, reinforcements in the form
of bursting are required.
37. What are the common ways of demolition?
• Hydro-demolition
• Pressure Bursting
• Dismantling

soil nails. This is the main objective of conducting soil nail pull-out test.
2. To determine the bond strength between soil and grout for future design purpose.
However, if this target is to be achieved, the test nails should be loaded to determine the
ultimate soil/grout bond with an upper limit of 80% of the ultimate tensile strength of steel
bars.
3. To check if there is any slippage or creep occurrence.
4. To check the elastic and plastic deformations of test nails. This is observed during the
repeated loading and unloading cycles of soil nails.

Critical Path Method is strategy and method of representing the respective tasks and activities involved
in the construction through a symbolic diagram.
63. How Do You Determine Specific Gravity Of Cement?
Cement is usually purchased as a powdery substance that is mixed with sand, aggregate, gravel, and
water to form concrete. Since the cement itself is usually a powder, it is hard to measure a standard
value for its specific gravity. In addition, since cement is usually not used by itself, knowing its specific
gravity is not Particularly useful.
A more useful question is “What is the typical density of concrete?” A rule of thumb answer is that
normal cured concrete has a density of about 150 pounds per cubic foot. This includes the weight of the
cement, sand, aggregate, and that PArt of the water that chemically binds with the cement to form the
concrete. Since water weighs about 62.4 pounds per cubic feet, concrete is about 2.4 times as heavy.
Thus, the specific gravity of concrete is about 2.4. If you took cement and mixed it with water, you
would eventually have a hard lump of useless cement and it would also have a specific gravity of
between 2 and 2.4.

কাস্ট-ইন শিটু পাইল নিয়ে বিস্তারিত কিছু আলোচনাঃ
★কাজ শিখুন টাইমলানে রাখুন★
১/ প্রথমে পাইলের জন্য পর্যাপ্ত মালামাল সাইটে আছে কি না তা দেখতে হবে।
২/ যারা পাইল করবে তাদের জনবল এবং যন্ত্রপাতি ঠিক মতো আছে কি না তা দেখতে হবে ।
৩/ তার পরে কলামের সেন্টার লাইন থেকে মাপ নিয়ে পাইলের পয়েন্ট দিতে হবে।
৪/ এবং পাইল পয়েন্টে ১০মিমি ১' রডের টু করা পুঁতে দিয়ে টা ঢালাই করি দিতে হবে।
৫/ তার পরে বোরিং এর সময় চিজেল টা কে তাদের যে তেপায়া টা আছে। ওটায় সেট করতে হবে। এবং ওই তিন
পায়ার সব গুলো পায়ার নিছে কাঠ বা বালির বস্তা দিয়ে সঠিক ভাবে বসাতে হবে যাতে এটি নড়ে না যায় এটি নড়ে
গেলে বোরিং ঠিক হবে না।
৬/ চিজেলের মাথা পাইলের জন্য পুঁতে দেওয়া রডের সেন্টারে এনে চিজেলের মাথায় পানি দিতে হবে যদি পানি
গুলো রডের মাথায় ঠিক ভাবে পড়ে তা হলে বুঝতে হবে চিজেল সঠিক অবস্থানে আছে। তবে এই ক্ষেত্রে চিজেলের
মাথা টা ভালো করে দেখতে হবে যাতে এটাতে কোন বাকা না থাকে। যদি বাকা থাকে তা হলে সমস্যা হবে। বোরিং
ঠিক মতো হবে না। তারপর পাইলের ডায়গোনাল চেক দিতে হবে। এরপর ১.৫ মিটার পর্যন্ত আনকেস্ড অবস্থায়
বোরিং করা হয় তার পর কেসিং প্রবেশ করানো হয়।
৭/ বোরিং কাজ শেষ হলে মিনিমাম ৩০ মিনিট পাইল ওয়াশ দিতে হবে তবে যতক্ষন পরিষ্কার পানি না বের হয়
ততক্ষণ ওয়াশ দিতে হবে ।
৮/ প্রয়োজন বেঁধে পাইল ওয়াশ দেওয়ার সময় পানির সাথে বেন্টনাইট কেমিক্যাল ব্যবহার করা যেতে পারে ।এতে
ওয়াশের সময় পাইলের পাশ্ব হতে মাটি ভেঙ্গে পড়বে না।
৯/বোরিং কত টু কু হয়েছে তা নিশ্চিত হওয়ার জন্য আপনাকে তারা যখন তাদের বোরিং যন্ত্রপাতি সাইটে আনবে
তখন সেই গুলো মাপ দিয়ে নিতে হবে।
১০/ পাইলের খাঁচা বাধার সময় দেখেতে হবে spiral রড গুলোর ওয়েল্ডিং ঠিক ভাবে করেছে কি না৷এটা পরিক্ষার
জন্য একটা হাতু ড়ি দিয়ে জয়েন্ট গুলোতে আঘাত করলে যদি জয়েন্ট ছুটে যায় তা হলে আবার ওয়েল্ডিং করিয়ে
নিতে হবে। যদি ডিজাইনে একটা স্পাইরাল ওয়েল্ডিং আরেকটা বুনন তার দিয়ে বাঁধাই করতে বলে, তাহলে ডিজাইন
মতে কাজ করতে হবে।
১১/স্পাইরাল রড গুলো ল্যাপিং যেই খানে হবে ওখানে যাতে মিনিমাম দুইটা মেইন রড এর শেষে ল্যাপিং যেনো শেষ
হয়। এবং লেপিং করা পুরো জায়গায় ওয়েল্ডিং করিয়ে নিতে হবে।
১২/ পাইলের স্পাইরাল টাই বাঁধার সময় মেইন রড গুলো কে সোজা রেখে বাঁধাই করতে হবে না হলে ওয়েলডিং এর
পর পাইলের খাঁচা মোচড় অবস্থা হয়ে থাকবে।
১৩/ মিনিমাম ৫' পর পর পাইলের ৩ দিকে ৩" পরিমান কাভারিং ব্যবহার করা হয়।
১৪/ পাইলের মেইন রডের ল্যাপিং মিনিমাম ২.৫'/৩' দেওয়া উচিত এবং ল্যাপিং এর জায়গায় ১.৫"-২" এর মতো
ওয়েল্ডিং করা ৩ স্থানে উচিত।। তবে এই ক্ষেত্রে ডিজাইন ফলো করতে হবে।
১৫/ খাঁচা ঢু কানোর সময় যাতে সোজা করে খাঁচা ঢু কায় যদি বাঁকা করে খাঁচা ঢু কায় তখন কাভারিং ব্লক গুলো ভেঙ্গে
যাবে।।
১৬/ এবং পাইলের যেই স্থানে ধরে পাইলটির খাঁচা বোরিং এ ঢু কাবে ওই জায়গায় স্পাইরাল গুলো ভালো করে
ওয়েল্ডিং করে দিতে হবে।
১৭/ ডিজাইন মতো রডের ডায়া এবং স্পাইরাল গুলোর স্পেসিং ঠিক আছে কি না দেখতে হবে।
১৮/ কাস্টিং এর সময় ট্রিমি পাইপ টি পাইলের বটম থেকে ৬" উপর থেকে কংক্রিট ফেলা উচিত এর বেশি উপর
থেকে কংক্রিট ফেললে কংক্রিটের সাথে কাঁদা পানি মিশে কংক্রিটের শক্তি কমিয়ে দিবে।
১৯/ ট্রিমি পাইপের ডায়া মিনিমাম ৬" হয়ে থাকে
২০/ কিছুক্ষন কংক্রিটিং করার পর ট্রিম্বি পাইপ টি কে উপর নিছে উঠা নামা করে ভাইব্রেট করে দিতে হবে যাতে
পাইলে ভয়েড না থাকে।
২১/ পাইলের সাধারণত ১ঃ১.৫ঃ৩ রেশিও তে কংক্রিটিং করা হয়ে থাকে।
২২/ কংক্রিটিং এর সময় ট্রিম্বি পাইপ টি কে পরিস্কার করে নিতে হবে যাতে আগের কোন কংক্রিট এর ভিতর না
থাকে।
২৩/ ২৪ ঘন্টার ভিতর ১০' এর মধ্যে অন্য পাইল করা যাবে না এতে নতু ন করা পাইলটি ক্ষতিগ্রস্থ হবে।
২৪/পাইলের Cut of level এ রেশিও ১ঃ২ঃ৪ রাখতে হবে। কারন এটি ভেঙ্গে ফেলা হয়।

উপকৃ ত হলে তথ্যগুলো শেয়ার করতে পারেন ...
**** কলামের ল্যাপিং কোথায় দেওয়া হয়?
_______কলামের নিচের ফ্লোর এবং উপরের ছাদ থেকে L/3 পর্যন্ত টেনশন হয় বা জোন ধরা হয় এবং মাধ্যভাগে
কম্প্রেসিভ জোন বিবেচনা করা হয়। সুতরাং কলাম রকের ল্যাপিং সব সময় ফ্লোর থেকে L/3 (2.5 ফিট) উপরে এবং
ছাদ থেকে L/3 নীচে দিতে হয়।
**** রডের মাথায় ক্যাপ লাগানো থাকে কেন?
_____রডের সম্পূর্ণ উপরের পৃষ্ঠ মরিচারোধী করে তৈরি করা হয় কিন্তু দুই প্রান্ত কাটা থাকে। এ কারণে রঙের দুই প্রান্তে
যাতে মরিচা না পড়ে, এছাড়াও দুই পান্ত অনেক ধারালো থাকে, এবং দুর্ঘটনা ঘটতে পারে, এজন্য রডের দুই প্রান্তে ক্যাপ
লাগানো থাকে।
**** একটি রড সর্বোচ্চ কত ফু ট লম্বা হয়ে থাকে?
_____একটি রডের দৈর্ঘ্য ১২ মিটার m বা ৩৯ ফিট হয়ে থাকে।
**** ফু টিং এর শর্ট ও লং রডের প্লেসমেন্ট কি হবে ?
_____ফু টিং ফাউন্ডেশনের লং রড নীচে এবং শর্ট ডিরেকশনের রড উপরে বসে। অর্থাৎ স্লাবের বিপরীত সূত্র প্রয়োগ
করতে হবে।
**** রডের বদলে বাঁশ ব্যবহার করা যাবে কিনা ?
____বাঁশ খুবই কম পরিমাণে টেনশন বল নেয় যা আমাদের কার্যক্ষেত্রে অগ্রাহ্য করা হয়। তাই সকল প্রকার RC.C.
কাজে বাশেঁর পরিবর্তে রড-ই ব্যবহার করা হয়।
