1. Week 6 Timber based columns
Erecting, propping, plumbing up and cramping technology
Circular proprietary column systems

2. How to construct timber based column panels
Select your material mm x 50 mm european whitewood
18 mm WBP ( Water and boilproof ) plywood
Cut your backing timber to length – Check your specification or drawing for the column dimensions
Add 18 mm to the finished width of the column for the plywood facing “rips”
Ie: For a column which is 400mm wide – The plywood will be 418 mm wide,

3. How to construct timber based column panels
The timber should overhang by 50 mm on one side
100 mm x 50 mm timber backing
Plywood facing:
Note: for a 400 column the ply is cut 418 mm wide
418
The timber should overhang by 18 mm on one side
Note : you must make 4 of these panels to form a set

4. Activity 9
Reproduce this diagram on A4 drawing paper using drawing boards and equipment. Do not draw this diagram to scale just proportion it to your drawing paper

5. Draw a cross sectional ( Overhead view ) of the formwork required to cast a 500 mm x 500 mm column. The drawing should be drawn to a scale of 1:5
Column cramps 75 mm wide
500 mm x 500 mm Coumn

8. Week 7
Suspended slabs
Erecting, propping and edge forming technology

9. Activity 10

11. Week 8 Suspended slab with drop edge beam
Formwork construction requirements
A listing of all the requirements of formworking materials and equipment.
The details are for before during and after the erection of formwork

13. Activity 11

16. Activity 12

17. Week 9 Calculations Working out volumes of concrete
Hydrostatic pressure

18. Activity 13 : Calculations
Your tutor will discuss the working out with the class once you have attempted the calculations

19. Activity 14

20. Hydrostatic pressure Example
Calculate the maximum hydrostatic pressure at the bottom of a 2 m high
concrete column, assuming the density of concrete is 2400 kg/m3.
Maximum hydrostatic Density of Distance from top
Pressure at any point = Concrete (Kg/m x of form
100 ( Converts to KN
Max pressure = x 2
100
Max pressure = KN/m2

21. Calculate the maximum hydrostatic pressure on the following columns :
Height = 1.4 m Density of concrete 2400 Kg/m3 =
Height = 1.8 m Density of concrete 2500 Kg/m3 =
C. Height = 3.4 m Density of concrete 2450 Kg/m3 =

22. Week 10 Selecting plant, materials, equipment and resources
Reading the information
Occupations, roles, trades and responsibilities within the construction industry
List the trades

23. Activity 15 & 16 On Site Trades - Tasks they carry out
Joiner / Carpenter– Fit floor joists, fit windows, hanging doors
Bricklayer – Setting out buildings, laying bricks, laying blocks
Plumber – Central heating, toilets, bathrooms
Plasterer – Applying Bonding, browning, finish, fixing plasterboard, board finish, ceilings, dry lining, restoration work, repair
Electrician – Fitting consumer units, back boxes, lighting circuits, sockets and appliances
Scaffolder- Erecting and dismantling all types of scaffolding
Groundworker – Excavating, landscaping, drainage and road forming
Roof tiler – Battening, felting and tiling all types of roof

24. Activity 17
Scale measurement
Just measure the lines in your activity book and multiply it by the scale size
IE 1: 5 – multiply by 5

25. Main Outlines - Hidden Detail - Centre Lines - Broken Lines -
Activity 18
Draw the type of line at the side of the descriptions below:
