The general safety measures taken during civil engineering construction.

The following safety measures are taken during civil engineering construction. (i) Suitable scaffolds should be provided for workmen. (ii) When ladder are used, it should be provided with foot holds and hand holds and inclination of one is to four (1 horizontal : 4 vertical) be provided. (iii) The scaffolding should be properly supported and shall have a guard rail property attached to it.

Fundamental role of computers and information technology in reshaping an organisation.

 


In any organisation, computerisation should be done in 4 phases. In 1st phase, computer is used only for transactions processing, whichever such a need exists, like stock records, personnel records for pay and wage bills, and sales record. In 2nd phase, the traditional operating systems are improved so as to take advantage of 1st phase. such area are cost accounting, budgetary control, inventory management, sales forecasting. In third phase, systems are designed with the computers, which will affect the decision maiking styles of the managers. The area of application in 3rd Phase are: Project planning through PERT, product mix decisions, cost benefit analysis, operation research. In the fourth and last phase, advance areas are applied, like policy and strategy decision with management information system and corporate models with simulation, cybernatics.

Construction of Cantilever RCC Slab: The following steps would be involved: (i) Form Work: Staging should be designed and erected. The staging shall be of tubular steel structure with adequate bracing as approved or made of built up structural section made from rolled structural steel sections. Shuttering used shall be of sufficient stiffness to avoid excessive deflection and joints should be tightly butted to avoid leakage of slurry. If required rubberised lining of material shall be provided in the joints. Steel used for concreting should be suitably stiffened. It should be properly repaired before use and it should be ensured that it is properly cleaned to avoid stains, honey combing, seepage of slurry etc. The holes, if any must be plugged.  Suitable camber shall be provided to counteract the effect of deflection. The camber at free ends shall be 1/50th of the projected length.  The shuttering must be coated with mould oil. (ii) Placing of Reinforcement: The reinforcemen...
