In the Construction layout basics video, the narrator refers to ‘batter boards’; in
Australia we usually refer to these as profiles. Also, you will notice the use of imperial
units of measurement. In Australia, we use metric measurement.
In the Finchley College video, the lecturer describes the use of a total station for the
setting out. A total station is a surveying instrument that integrates the capabilities of
an electronic theodolite with electronic distance measurement. He also talks about
surveying to set out the foundations. In Australia, we use the term foundation for the
ground upon which the structure is built, and the term footing for the base of the
building that sits on the foundation.
The Chad Ryan video narrator refers to the “pad” – this is the base or platform of the
bulk excavation before the detailed excavation takes place.)
Review drawing CC-1A, CC-23A, CC-24A (Factory plans) and surveying
report and marks/ control points (corners boundaries, AA/A1, AK, A7, etc)
Ensure that the Survey marks have been established and marked out as
reference points within the corners of the lot with stakes.
Stakes should be positioned at least 600mm from the building line
Run a taut string line from batter board to batter board, passing directly
over the pegs. Stringlines to be run between the nails and the top of the
stakes.
Check the distance between each stringline and ensure that they are equal.
Once the perimeters are parallel, the diagonals need to be measured to
ensure that the building line is Square. Diagonals should be double
checked by using Pythagoras theorem to prove it is square and correct.
Profiles should be established around the site but should at least be
minimum 1200mm away from construction machinery.
Stakes should be perfectly pointed to ensure that when they are driven into
the ground they don’t twist and move to avoid inaccuracies.
Plans should be looked over and checked for the location of footings
including strip footings, pad footings and beams.
Hubs and laths are used to establish gridlines with chalk and should be
double checked that they are correctly placed.
Dig out the footings ensuring that they are the right depth before finally
pouring the footing.
2.
Structural integrity – study the drawings showing details of the footings for
this project. Describe how the footings – piers, pad footings (these are really pile
caps), strip footings (this is really a pier and beam type system) and slab – contribute
to the structural integrity of the building. You will need to address the following in your
answer:
a.
the purpose of each type of footing (the specific loads that are supported;
why this type of footing is used; how the loads are transferred to the ground)
(approx. 100 words each)
Piers

A pier is a concrete column that's cast a top of a footing and is
connected to the footing by steel re-bar. Piers are vertical pillars that
transfer the load of the structure to the soil. Mostly used in soils that
are either highly expansive or prone to collapse. These are typically
underlain by stable material of high strength gravels, or compact sand.
Piers work well on sites that may be difficult to dig a traditional
foundation for example around tree roots, as well as being ideal for
sites that are close to the ocean or flood zones as they raise a
structure off the ground to protect it from the water.
Pad footings:
the simplest and cost-effective footing used for the vertical support and
the transfer of building loads to the ground. Pad are footings used in
good soil conditions this means that these types of footings do not
need to be deep and structural loads of from the
building is isolated to columns and not load baring walls. In instances
the bearing capacity of soil directly below the structure is insufficient
for a spread footing, piles are then used to transfer the load to deeper
and firmer strata. It is necessary for piles to be used when the soil is
affected by seasonal changes
Strip footings
:
strip footing supports the load of the exterior walls and any interior wall
that is load bearing or supports a slab. These are shallow foundations
and are deemed to be the best option for
light loads.
Concrete Slab
:
Concrete slabs can be used in two different ways which include being
supported by the ground or suspended slab above the ground. slabs
are made from reinforced concrete. The slab is poured thicker at the
edges, to form an integral footing.
b.
specific requirements for each type of footing (why they are the size
specified; why they have reinforcement in the configuration shown; types of
joints if applicable)
(50 - 100 words each)
Piers
:
Where footings are used on fill, unstable soils low bearing capacity
soils, etc. the footings (and slab) will need further support which may
be provided by:
Bulk piers—using a backhoe or excavator to dig down to firm ground at
regular intervals. Bulk piers are generally poured at the same time as the
footing.

Bored piers—either reinforced or unreinforced depending on diameter,
length, side movement expected, etc. These are usually dug and poured
prior to digging the footings.
750 concrete piers under to detail pad all pad footing (PF3) for columns
elevation
450 piers required max 600 pier to stiff natural clay strata (min 250 kPa
bearing strata) for FOOTING JOINT
450 piers required pier to stiff natural clay strata (min 250 kPa bearing
strata) for driveway
450 piers required pier to stiff natural clay strata (min 250 kPa bearing
strata) for strip footing SF1, SF2, SF4
Pad footings:
Pad Footings are square or round. These are used to support a
concentrated load. The depth of the block which surround the piles
must be equal to the length of the piles and its perimeter is equal to
the perimeter around the outer surfaces of the outer piles.
Concrete size 600 height with Y16-200 U-bars both ways top and
bottom, 1200X1200 area for PF2, PF3, PF4,
Strip footings
:
Strip footings can be dug out using a digger or back hoe depending on
the depth of the footings. The footing support the load of exteriors
walls and any interior wall that is load bearing or supports a slab.
Outer walls are supported by strip footings SF2 with a square base
1200mm and height of 600mm to form the ground friction pad of the
above weight of the slabs. This is connected across forming a single
base structure of the ground base of the building.
Concrete of 450 height and 600X600 area with 6-N12 top & bottom
ties for SF1, SF2, SF4,

Construction joints
(which can also function as contraction joints)
Construction Joint
in concrete used to prevent any crack during its life
period. Concrete has the property of expansion and contraction due to
temperature changes resulting in a change in the volume of concrete.
The change in the volume of concrete causes concrete cracking.
Contraction joints
(also sometimes called control joints)
Contraction joints (also called control joints) are used in to minimise
random concrete cracking by creating straight-line weakened-planes in
concrete to control the cracking location by inducing cracks at
predetermined locations. When slabs shrink due to change in moisture
and temperature, shrinkage or tensile stresses start building and cracks
form at contraction joints because the concrete is weaker or thinner at
these locations as illustrated below
b.
indicate on a part floor plan of the factory project, where you would expect
to see an isolation joint.
