Civil Engineering Tips & Tricks

Correct form: Soil Retention by Nailing Method

Procedure for Soil Nailing (As per IS 14490:1997) Site Investigation & Design Conduct geotechnical investigation (IS 1892:1979) to determine soil properties. Nail length: 0.7 to 1.0 times excavation height. Nail spacing: Generally 1.0 m to 2.0 m horizontally & vertically. Inclination: 10°–20° below horizontal. Excavation Excavation should be carried out in stages of 1.0–2.0 m depth . Each stage should be stabilized with nails before moving further. Drilling of Nail Holes Diameter of hole: 100–200 mm (IS 14490 recommends 100–150 mm). Holes drilled using rotary percussion rigs with compressed air or water flush. Insertion of Reinforcement (Nails) Nails generally consist of TMT bars (as per IS 1786) or steel tendons. Centralizers to be used to maintain cover of ≥ 25 mm grout thickness . Grouting Grouting material: Cement slurry (IS 456 & IS 3370). Water–cement ratio: 0.4–0.5. Pressure grouting to ensure complete filling. Shotcrete / Fa...

What is Chair Reinforcement in Building Construction ?

Chair Bar Guidelines for Reinforcement Chair Bar Guidelines for Reinforcement (As per IS Code) 1. Purpose of Chair Bars Chair bars are used to hold the reinforcement bars in position during construction to prevent displacement while pouring concrete. They ensure the required spacing is maintained between the top and bottom reinforcement bars as per design specifications. 2. Spacing of Chair Bars As per IS 456:2000 – Plain and Reinforced Concrete Code of Practice : Chair bars should be spaced at nominal 1000 mm centers , unless specified otherwise. For heavily reinforced slabs or where vibration may cause displacement, spacing can be reduced to 600-800 mm . 3. Diameter of Chair Bars As per IS 2502:1963 : The diameter of a chair bar is recommended as hc/50 , where hc is the clear cover. The diameter should not be less tha...
