CHAPTER # 2
Construction Material and its used
6 Cementitious Materials
• 7.1 Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC):
o Material: A fine grey powder consisting of a mixture of calcium silicates and other
compounds, manufactured by grinding clinker (produced by heating limestone and
clay).
o Use: The fundamental binding agent for concrete, mortar, and plaster. It reacts with
water (hydration) to form a hard, strong matrix.
o Applications in a 5 Marla House:
▪ Foundation: Used in PCC (Plain Cement Concrete) for the base and RCC
(Reinforced Cement Concrete) for footings, column stubs, and plinth
beams.
▪ Superstructure: Integral component of RCC for columns, beams, slabs
(floors and roof).
▪ Masonry: Used as the binder in cement mortar for laying bricks or
concrete blocks.
▪ Plastering: Forms the base of cement plaster for interior and exterior
wall finishes.
o Considerations in Sahiwal: Availability is generally good. Choose reputable brands to
ensure quality and strength. Consider the grade of cement (e.g., 43 grade, 53 grade)
based on structural requirements. Store in a dry place to prevent hardening.

11
Figure 1 Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC)

12
• 7.2 Aggregate (Sand & Crushed Stone):

o 7.2.1 Sand (Fine Aggregate):

▪ Material: Small, loose grains of eroded rock. River sand is commonly used

in Sahiwal. Crushed sand is also becoming more prevalent.

▪ Use: Provides bulk and workability to concrete and mortar, filling the

voids between larger aggregate particles.

▪ Applications in a 5 Marla House:

▪ Concrete: Essential component for achieving the desired mix and

strength.

▪ Mortar: Used in brick/block masonry and plastering.

▪ Considerations in Sahiwal: Quality can vary. Ensure it's clean, free from

excessive silt, clay, and organic matter, which can weaken the concrete or

mortar. Proper grading (particle size distribution) is important for

workability.

13
Figure 2 Sand (Fine Aggregate)

14
o 7.2.2 Crushed Stone (Coarse Aggregate):

▪ Material: Fragments of crushed rock (e.g., granite, limestone). Locally

sourced crushed stone is widely used in Sahiwal. Brick aggregate (locally

called "bajri") might be used for lower-strength applications but is

generally discouraged for structural RCC.

▪ Use: Provides the main structural strength and volume in concrete.

▪ Applications in a 5 Marla House: Primarily used in RCC for the

foundation, columns, beams, and slabs.

▪ Considerations in Sahiwal: Size and grading should meet the

requirements of the concrete mix design. Ensure it's clean and free from

impurities. Crushed stone generally offers better strength compared to

brick aggregate.

15
Figure 3 Crushed Stone (Coarse Aggregate)

16
• 7.3 Water:

o Material: Clean, potable water free from harmful impurities, chemicals, and

excessive salts.

o Use: Essential for the hydration of cement, which is the chemical reaction that binds

the concrete and mortar. It also provides workability to the mix.

o Applications in a 5 Marla House: Used in mixing concrete, mortar, and plaster, as

well as for curing these elements after placement.

o Considerations in Sahiwal: Use clean water. Impurities can negatively affect the

strength and setting of cementitious materials.

17
Figure 4 Water

18
7 Masonry Materials

• 8.1 Clay Bricks:

o Material: Rectangular units made from clay, moulded, dried, and fired in a kiln.

Various qualities and sizes are available in Sahiwal.

o Use: Primarily used for constructing walls (load-bearing and partition walls).

o Applications in a 5 Marla House: External walls, internal partition walls.

o Considerations in Sahiwal: Quality varies significantly. Look for well-shaped

bricks with uniform colour, sharp edges, and a metallic sound when struck

together. High water absorption can indicate poor quality. Consider the strength

class based on structural requirements.

19
Figure 5 Clay Bricks

20
• 8.2 Cement Mortar:

o Material: A mixture of cement, sand, and water. The ratio of cement to sand

determines the strength of the mortar.

o Use: Acts as a binding agent between bricks or concrete blocks, providing

structural integrity and stability to the walls.

o Applications in a 5 Marla House: Laying bricks for walls.

o Considerations in Sahiwal: Use the correct mix ratio as per the load-bearing

requirements. Proper mixing and application are crucial for good bonding. Curing

the mortar joints with water for several days is essential for strength

development.

21
Figure 6 Cement Mortar

22
8 Reinforcement Steel (Rebar)

• Material: Steel bars with deformations (ribs or lugs) on their surface to improve bonding

with concrete. Available in various diameters and grades (e.g., Grade 40, Grade 60).

• Use: Provides tensile strength to concrete, which is weak in tension. Reinforced

concrete (RCC) is essential for structural elements that experience bending or tension.

• Applications in a 5 Marla House:

o Foundation: Footings, column stubs, plinth beams.

o Superstructure: Columns, beams, floor slabs, roof slab, lintels above openings.

o Staircases (if RCC).

• Considerations in Sahiwal: Purchase from reputable suppliers to ensure the correct

grade and quality. Check for rust and damage. Proper cutting, bending, and placement

according to the structural drawings are critical for the structural integrity of the house.

Cover blocks are used to ensure proper concrete cover over the reinforcement for

protection against corrosion.

23
Figure 7 Reinforcement Steel (Rebar)

24
9 Roofing Materials

• 10.1 Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) Slab: (Covered under Cementitious

Materials and Reinforcement Steel)

o Use: A common and durable roofing solution providing structural stability and

weather protection.

o Considerations in Sahiwal: Requires proper waterproofing treatment to prevent

leakage, insulation for thermal comfort during hot summers, and a well-designed

drainage system for rainwater.

25
Figure 8 Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) Slab

26
10 Finishing Materials

• 11.1 Plaster: (Covered under Cementitious Materials)

o Use: Provides a smooth and even surface on walls and ceilings for painting or

other finishes.

o Considerations in Sahiwal: Proper mixing and application are important to avoid

cracks. Consider using gypsum plaster for interiors for a smoother finish.

27
Figure 9 Plaster

28
• 11.2 Doors and Windows:

o Materials: Wood (requires regular maintenance), UPVC (low maintenance, good

insulation), Aluminium (lightweight, durable), Steel (strong, often for security

doors).

o Use: Provide access, ventilation, natural light, and security.

o Considerations in Sahiwal: UPVC and aluminium are gaining popularity due to

their durability and lower maintenance compared to wood. Consider the quality

of frames, hinges, and locks for security. Proper sealing is important to prevent

dust and drafts.

29
Figure 10 Doors and Windows

30
• 11.3 Paints and Wall Finishes:

o Materials: Primer, interior paints (emulsion, distemper), exterior paints

(weather-resistant), textured coatings, wallpapers.

o Use: Provide aesthetic appeal and protect wall surfaces.

o Considerations in Sahiwal: Choose weather-resistant exterior paints to

withstand the local climate. Good quality primer is essential for proper adhesion

and finish.

CHAPTER # 3
Methodology of Preparing a House Load Bearing Wall
Preparing a load-bearing wall for construction is a critical process that requires careful planning and execution to
ensure structural integrity and safety. Here's a detailed methodology:

Phase 1: Planning and Design


1. Structural Design and Drawings:
o Engage a Qualified Structural Engineer: This is the most crucial step. The engineer will
analyse the loads the wall needs to support (from the roof, floors above, and its own weight), soil
conditions, seismic activity, and other relevant factors.
o Detailed Drawings: The engineer will produce detailed structural drawings that specify:
▪ Wall thickness and dimensions.
▪ Type and grade of building materials (bricks, blocks, concrete, etc.).
▪ Mortar mix ratio.
▪ Reinforcement details (if required, especially in concrete or reinforced masonry walls),
including the size, spacing, and placement of steel bars.
▪ Lintel and beam specifications above openings (doors, windows).
▪ Foundation details and connection to the wall.
▪ Any specific construction techniques or requirements.
o Material Specifications: Clearly define the quality and specifications of all materials to be
used.
2. Site Investigation and Preparation:
o Soil Testing (if necessary): For heavier structures or uncertain soil conditions, a
geotechnical investigation might be required to determine the soil's bearing capacity.
o Site Clearance: Remove any vegetation, debris, or obstructions from the wall's footprint.
o Marking the Wall Layout: Accurately mark the position and dimensions of the wall on the
prepared foundation according to the structural drawings. Use surveying tools (e.g., measuring
tapes, levels, plumb bobs) to ensure accuracy.
3. Material Procurement and Storage:
o Source Quality Materials: Procure materials according to the specifications in the
structural drawings.
o Proper Storage: Store materials on-site in a manner that protects them from damage and
degradation (e.g., keep bricks dry, store cement in a moisture-proof area).
Phase 2: Foundation Preparation (Assuming the foundation is already in place)
1. Clean the Foundation Surface: Ensure the top surface of the foundation is clean and free from any
loose material, dust, or debris.
2. Dampen the Foundation: Lightly dampen the top surface of the concrete foundation before laying
the first course of masonry units. This helps in better bonding between the mortar and the concrete.

33
Phase 3: Wall Construction
1. Laying the First Course (Setting Out):
o Mortar Bed: Apply a uniform layer of mortar of the specified thickness on the foundation
along the marked layout of the wall.
o Positioning the Units: Carefully place the first course of bricks or blocks according to the
drawings, ensuring they are level and aligned. Use a spirit level and string line to maintain
horizontal and vertical alignment.
o Checking for Level and Plumb: Continuously check the level (horizontal) and plumb
(vertical) of the first course. This is crucial as it forms the base for the entire wall.
2. Subsequent Courses:
o Staggering Joints: Lay subsequent courses, ensuring that the vertical joints between the
units are staggered (lapped) to provide better strength and prevent continuous vertical cracks.
The overlap should typically be at least one-third the length of the unit.
o Maintaining Mortar Joints: Apply a consistent thickness of mortar between the units
(both horizontal bed joints and vertical head joints). The mortar should be workable and provide
good adhesion. Strike the joints neatly for both structural integrity and aesthetics.
o Checking Level and Plumb Regularly: Use a spirit level and plumb bob frequently as
the wall progresses to ensure it remains straight and vertical. Use a mason's line stretched taut
between corners or guide blocks to maintain alignment.
3. Incorporating Openings (Doors and Windows):
o Lintel Support: When reaching the level of door or window openings, ensure adequate
support for the lintel (a horizontal beam that spans the opening). This might involve using
temporary supports (props) while the lintel is being placed and the mortar sets.
o Placing Lintels: Carefully place the lintels (concrete, steel, or masonry) over the openings,
ensuring they are properly bedded in mortar and extend sufficiently beyond the sides of the
opening (bearing). The length of the bearing should be as specified in the structural drawings.
o Continuing Construction Above Lintels: Continue laying masonry units above the
lintels, maintaining the bond and alignment.
4. Incorporating Reinforcement (if required):
o Placement: If the design calls for reinforcement (e.g., in reinforced masonry walls or concrete
block walls), place the steel bars according to the structural drawings, ensuring proper cover
(distance between the steel and the outer surface of the masonry).
o Grouting (for concrete blocks): For reinforced concrete block walls, after placing the
reinforcement, the cores of the blocks containing the steel are filled with grout (a flowable
concrete mix) to bond the steel to the masonry.
5. Wall Ties (for cavity walls, if applicable): If the load-bearing wall is part of a cavity wall
system, ensure wall ties are installed at the specified intervals to connect the inner and outer leaves of
the wall.
6. Top of the Wall:
o Levelling Course: Finish the top of the wall with a level course of masonry units.

34
o Preparation for Superstructure: Prepare the top of the wall as specified in the drawings
for connection to the next structural element (e.g., floor slab, roof beam). This might involve
creating a level surface or embedding connection elements.

Phase 4: Quality Control and Curing


1. Regular Checks: Throughout the construction process, conduct regular checks on:
o Dimensions: Verify that the wall dimensions match the drawings.
o Alignment: Ensure the wall is straight and vertical.
o Mortar Joints: Check the thickness and quality of mortar joints.
o Material Quality: Ensure the materials used are as specified.
o Reinforcement Placement: Verify the correct placement and cover of reinforcement (if
applicable).
2. Curing:
o Importance: Proper curing of the mortar is essential for it to gain full strength.
o Method: Keep the newly constructed wall moist for the specified curing period (typically 3-7
days, depending on the type of mortar and weather conditions). This can be done by spraying
water, covering with damp burlap, or using other suitable methods.

Phase 5: Inspection
1. Intermediate Inspections: It's good practice to have inspections at critical stages of
construction (e.g., after the first few courses, after lintel placement, upon completion of the wall) by the
structural engineer or a qualified supervisor to ensure compliance with the drawings and specifications.
2. Final Inspection: A final inspection should be carried out upon completion of the wall before any
further loads are applied.
Important Considerations:
• Safety: Implement appropriate safety measures on the construction site, including providing personal
protective equipment (PPE) for workers and ensuring safe working practices.
• Weather Conditions: Avoid constructing masonry walls during extreme weather conditions (e.g.,
heavy rain, freezing temperatures) as these can negatively impact the quality of the mortar.
• Skilled Labor: Employ experienced and skilled masons who understand the principles of load-bearing
wall construction and can work accurately according to the drawings.
• Adherence to Codes and Regulations: Ensure that the construction complies with all relevant
local building codes and regulations.
