    1.1 OVERVIEWOFCONSTRUCTIONDEVELOPMENT

    Construction can be described as a basic industry

    that fulfills human needs.

    The building we occupied,

    roads we drive on and bridge that we cross

    construction is a process that consists of the

    building or assembling of infrastructure.

    Construction could be in a;

    single activity such as building a house, a road or a

    bridge;

    large scale construction such as development of new

    commercial area which consists of buildings and otherinfrastructure facilities.

    Defini t ion:A mult i -s toryis a building that has

    multiple floorsabove ground in the building. General purpo sein constructing a multi-story

    building is to increase the area of the building

    without increasing the area of the land the building

    is built on, hence saving land and, in most cases,

    money.

    un i form mult i -s toreycarries a meaning of

    building that has same structure throughout its

    multiple floors. Multi-storey buildings usually must

    have additional safetysystems, such as fire

    sprinklers and fire escapes, as mandated by

    building codes.

    A bridge is a structure built to span a valley, road, body ofwater, or other physical obstacle, for the purpose of providing

    passage over the obstacle. Designs of bridges vary depending

    on the function of the bridge, the nature of the terrain where the

    bridge is constructed, the material used to make it and thefunds available to build it.

  • 8/13/2019 TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION : BUILDING, BRIDGE AND ROAD

    34/91

    Basically, there are four main factors used in

    describinga bridgenamely:

    span (simple, continuous, cantilever),

    material (stone, concrete, metal, etc.),

    placement of the travel surface in relation tothe structure (deck, pony, through)

    form (beam, arch, truss, etc.).

    1) Beam and Girder types

    A beam bridge is a direct descendant of the log bridge. It isnormally made from shallow steel such as;

    'I' beams,

    box girders,

    reinforced concrete, orpost-tensioned concrete.

    3) Suspension types

    The longest bridges in the world are suspension bridges or their cousins,

    the cable-stayed bridge.

    The deckof any suspension bridge is hung from suspenders of wire rope,

    eye-bars or other materials.

    Materials used for the other parts also vary;

    piers (steel or masonry)

    deck (girders or trussed)A tied arch resists spreading (drift) at its bearings by using the deck

    as a tie piece.

    Main characteristic of suspension bridge are;

    aesthetic,

    light, andstrong.

    Therefore, these bridges can span distances from 2,000 to 7,000 feet (far

    longer than any other kind of bridge) and used to be the most expensive kind

    of bridge to build

    SUPERSTRUCTURE

    The SUPERSTRUCTURE consists of the

    components that actually span the obstacle the

    bridge is intended to cross. It includes:

    the bridge deck,

    the structural members, and

    the parapets, handrails, sidewalk, lighting anddrainage features.

    support the superstructure. The main components are;

    abutments or end-bents;

    piers or interior bents;

    footings; and

    piling.

    Pre-stressing Methods

    If steel reinforcement in

    reinforced concrete

    structures is tensioned

    against the concrete, thestructure becomes a pre-

    stressed concrete

    structure.

    64/91

    Pre-Tensioning

    Pre-tensioning is accomplished by stressing tendons, steel wires,

    or stands to a predetermined amount. While stress is maintained in

    the tendons, concrete is placed in the structure.

    After the concrete in the structure is hardened, the tendons are

    released and the concrete bonded to the tendons becomes pre-

    stressed.

    Hydraulic jacks and stands composed of several wires twisted

    around a straight centre wire are the techniques used in pre-

    tensioning.

    Post-Tensioning

    Post-tensioned happened when the tendons are tensioned after the

    concrete has hardened and attained sufficient strength (usually at

    70% of final strength) to withstand the pre-stressing forces, and each

    of the tendons are encored.

    A common method used to prevent tendons from bonding to the

    concrete during placing and curing is to encase the tendon in mortal-

    tight metal tube or flexible metal hose before placing in the forms.

    After the tendons have been stressed, the void between thetendons and the duct is filled with grout.

    Fabrication and Erection Stages

    In the case of cast-in-place box-girder bridge construction, the

    sequences of pre-stressing tendons have to be engineered step-by-step

    to ensure that the structure will have all parameters for future service

    load after completion this stage.

    The sequence of the erection may produce additional stresses thatstructures or portion of the structures were not designed for. These

    stressed and stability of the structures during erection is a big concern

    that is often overlooked by both designers and contractors.

    It is important for construction engineering to accomplish safe and

    efficient fabrication and erection of bridge structure.

  • 8/13/2019 TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION : BUILDING, BRIDGE AND ROAD

    72/91

    Falsework/Temporary Framework

    The construction of falsework is when the permanent structure is supported

    during the construction. This type of work is associated with the construction

    of cast-in-place concrete structures, especially bridge superstructures.

    The falsework provides a stable platform upon which the forms may be builtand furnish support for the bridge superstructure.

    Bridge falsework can be classified in two types:

    conventional systems in which the various components (beams, posts,

    caps, bracing, etc.) are erected individually to form the completed

    system and

    proprietary systems in which metal components are assembled into

    modular units that can be stacked to form a series of towers that

    compose the vertical load-carrying members of the system.

    74/91

    ROAD CONSTRUCTION

    A road is an identifiable route, way or path between two or more places.Roads are typically smoothed, paved, or otherwise prepared to allow easy

    travel; though they need not be, and historically many roads were simply

    recognizable routes without any formal construction or maintenance.

    2) Sub-grades

  • 8/13/2019 TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION : BUILDING, BRIDGE AND ROAD

    78/91

    2) Sub grades

    In highway engineering, sub-grades is the native material underneath a constructed

    pavement. It is also called formation level.

    Depending on the natural soils of the site, the sub-grades can be the natural soil itself-if it

    meets load bearing tests, is compacted soil, or is stabilized with activities.

    Sub-grades are commonly compacted before the construction of a pavement, and are

    sometimes stabilized by the addition of asphalt, soil cement, portland cement or

    lime. It is the foundation of the pavement structure, on which the sub-base is laid.

  • 8/13/2019 TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION : BUILDING, BRIDGE AND ROAD

    79/91

    Preparation of the sub-grades for construction usually involves digging, in order to

    remove surface vegetation, topsoil and other unwanted material, and to create space

    for the upper layer of the pavement. This process is known as sub-grades formationor

    reduction to level.

    The simplest form of sub-grade formation is a 'site-strip'. This process involves the

    removal of all surface vegetation along with the root zone, approximately 50mm in

    depth. It is bad practice to construct a pavement over surface vegetation; as organic

    material, it will decompose, which could lead to the formation of voids in the covering

    layers, which could, in turn, lead to pavement settlement.

    The strength of a sub-grade is measured by a test known as the CBR or "California

    Bearing Ratio". This test involves the use of a standard plunger being forced onto a

    sample of the soil/sub-grade being assessed at a steady rate of 1mm per minute. The

    force required to achieve each 0.25mm of penetration is recorded and the results can

    be checked against standard tables to give a numerical value which is referred to as

    the CBR.

    3) Sub-base

  • 8/13/2019 TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION : BUILDING, BRIDGE AND ROAD

    81/91

    3) Sub base

    The sub-base layer is often the main load-bearing layer of a pavement.

    It is designed to evenly spread the load of the paving, and any traffic there on,to the sub-grade below.

    The sub-base is intended to prevent channelization and settlement. A

    finished sub-base should not deviate from the correct level by more than

    10mm, and should reflect the final profile of the paving. The bedding layer

    above the sub-base ought to be a constant thickness to avoid differential

    settlement.

    The materials used to construct a sub-base are chosen for their inherent

    load-spreading capabilities when correctly laid.

    Two different types of material considered are:

    Unbound Granular MaterialCement Bound Materialmass concrete

    50mm crusher runis the most popular, cheaper and suitable material for road

    because it is less rigid control of the fines and slightly softer or less competent

    rock.

    The thickness of the sub-base is depends on the future used of the road

    As illustrates in Figure below the use of geo-fabric materials is to provide:

    Separation: to prevent bedding layers disappearing into sub-bases/subgrades;

    to keep sub-bases from mixing into sub-grades; to minimise/prevent soil-pumping

    Filtration: as drainage composites or lagging to filter drains

    Reinforcement: to inhibit reflective cracking in asphalt courses; strengthening

    of poor sub-grades

    4) Wearing Course

    ) g

    Wearing surfaces are either paved or unpaved. Wearing course is the top layer

    of the road that we seen and trafficked. It needs to be fairly regular to provide a

    smooth ride for wheeled vehicles, although this is much more important on

    higher speed pavements than on residential driveways.

    A macadam wearing course should consist of a small, hard aggregate,

    usually 6mm or 10mm, in a tar or bitumen binder.

    compacted broken stone, now usually bound with tar or asphalt.

    Alternatively, an asphalt may be used; this material is also known as a sand

    carpet or asphalt carpet, and is prepared in a batch plant to a specified ratio,

    consisting of selected sands and grits mixed into an asphalt matrix, with coatedchippings sprinkled over the surface and rolled (machine or hand laid, depending

    on area and access) into the asphalt as part of the compaction process.

  • 8/13/2019 TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION : BUILDING, BRIDGE AND ROAD

    88/91

    The wearing course should be at least 20-25mm thick when rolled, and

    should not deviate from the correct level by more than 6mm.

    The asphalt wearing surface is usually applied in two layers:

    a base asphalt layer is often installed in the early stages of a
