SETTING OUT WORKS – FOUNDATION MARKING
|
|
AIM
|
|
To set out the foundation marking for the proposed
construction of building. |
|
APPARATUS USED
|
|
1.Theodolite, 2. Chain (or) Tape 3.Ranging rods, 3.
Pegs or Arrows, 4. String. |
|
GENERAL
|
|
The operation of the marking on the site the centr e
lines of the foundation of a building is called |
|
setting out. Setting out of a foundation is the first
step in the construction of any structure. |
|
PROCEDURE
|
|
1.
|
|
A centre line sketch of the building is prepared. (The
centres of cross walls are also to be indicated.) |
|
2.
|
|
The base line is set out with reference to given
reference points. |
|
3.
|
|
The ends of the centre line of the walls, points A and
B from the base line are marked. |
|
4.
|
|
As the end marks A,B,C,etc. are disturbed during
excavation, stakes are fixed at L,M,N etc., a little |
|
away (about 2 to 3 m) for end mark and tied accur
ately using a string. |
|
5.
|
|
The centre line for all other walls AD,BC,etc are marked by dropping perpendicular. For
small |
|
buildings the perpendiculars may be set out by using a
chain or a tape by ‘3-4-5’ method. For an |
|
important and big building when sides are long a
Theodolite may be employed to accurately set out the |
|
perpendiculars and to range the lines.
|
|
6.
|
|
For every wall, the pegs are driven a little away for
marking the end and tied accurately using a string. |
|
7.
|
|
Diagonals ar e measured and checked with their
corresponding calculated lengths. |
|
8.
|
|
Width of foundation from the centerline are marked and
the corners 1,2,3,4,5 etc., are fix up. Pegs are |
|
driven at these corners. The cord is stretched and
lime is spread along the chords. |
|
RESULT:
|
|
Thus the trench plan being marked on the ground, and
excavation may be started.
