3.0 EXTERNAL WORKS Caleb Soh Er Wen 0320292
3.0.1 Site Clearance
This process usually involves two stages:
- Stage one : The removal of vegetation, plants,
Stumps, rubble, trash.
: Also known as grubbing
- Stage two : The removal of the surface level soil
: Top 300mm of the ground
It is done to ensure a conducive environment for the commencement
of all construction work.

3.0.2 Setting Out Building Outline
The responsibility of a licensed land surveyor.
STEPS
1. The first step is to establish a baseline to which all subsequent setting out will
be related.
2. The next would be to mark out the main building points by using wooden
posts with nails driven through the center.
3. A cord would be tied from one post to the other forming the building line
- This serves as a boundary on which the building should not exceed
- This is an important stage of the construction process and such the setting out
lines would always be checked by second personnel using a site square. Baseline

3.0.3 Setting Out Trenches
Serves two purposes:
i) Establish the excavation size, shape and orientation
ii) Establish the width and position of the walls
STEPS
1. Based on the setting out lines marked previously, profile boards are used to
indicate the position, width and depth of the proposed trench
2. The width of trench is marked on the profile board by sawing cuts and painting
a band on it.
3. The size of the excavation work is marked on the ground with cement powder
Using the width markings on the profile board, a traveller is used
to mark out the centre line of trench.
An excavator then uses a trench width bucket to excavate the
trench along this line

FOUNDATION
4.1.1 SHALLOW FOUNDATION (Reference)
Spread footing
A spread footing is an enlargement at the bottom of a
column or bearing wall that spreads the applied structural
loads over a sufficiently large soil area. Typically, each
column and each bearing wall has its own spread footing, so
each structure may include dozens of in individual footings.
● consists of a number of courses of bricks, the lowest
being usually twice the thickness of wall above.
● The base width of the wall is increased by providing
5cm on either side of the wall. The depth of each
course is usually 10 cm.
● In some cases, however, the bottom course is made
20cm deep. In the case of footing for store walls, the
size of offset is slightly more than that of the brick wall
footing.
● Cheapest type of foundations and is widely used for
walls of common buildings.
Advantages of spread footing:
● Low cost and ease of construction
● Small or medium size structure with good soil condition
● Lower risk of failure
● Easier to build basement

Construction procedure
1. Backhoe is used to excavate
spread footing, handwork is
necessary to produce clean
excavation. Recheck soil
condition of the site.
2. Procedure of pouring the
concrete directly against the soil is
called neat footing.
3. To make sure the top of the
footing is at the proper
elevation, shallow wooden
forms placed above
excavation. Make a larger
excavation and build a full-
depth wooden form of the soil
(formed footing)

4. Place rebar spacer to secure the
reinforcing steel or "rebar" in
reinforced concrete structures as
the rebar is assembled in place
prior to the final concrete pour.
The spacers are left in place for
the pour to keep the reinforcing in
place, and become a permanent
part of the structure.
5. Reinforcing steel placed after
excavation and placing the form.
Threaded anchor bolts and steel
brackets are embedded into the
concrete if the footings have to
support a wood or steel structure.
6. Short steel rebar (dowel) are placed such that they
extend above the complete footing for concrete and
masonry structure.Then, the concrete is placed.

4.2.1 DEEP FOUNDATION (reference)
Piling foundation
There are 2 types of piles:
1) Load bearing pile foundation
- In end bearing piles, the bottom end of the pile
rests on a layer of especially strong soil or rock.
-The bottom end rests on the surface which is
the intersection of a weak and strong layer.
-The load therefore bypasses the weak layer and
transferred to the strong layer.
2) Friction Pile
- The pile transfers the load of the building to
the soil by fiction across the full height of the
pile.
- The amount of load a pile can support is
directly proportionate to its length.
Piling is a type of ground treatment which is driving a pile into the ground below ground
level. Except sheet pile, other piles like concrete pile, timber pile, steel pile, bored pile
are used to transfer the building load to the ground. It’s used to strengthen the soil so that
the ground able to support the load of the building. While sheet pile is usually used to
support lateral load and act as a supporting wall.
Construction method
1. Driven piles
- made from concrete, steel or timber.
-piles are prefabricated
- When these piles are driven into the granular soils, they displace
the equal volume of soil. This helps in compaction of soil around the
sides of piles and results in the densification of soil.
- compact the soil adjacent to it is also called as compaction pile.
This compaction of soil increases its bearing capacity.
Friction
Hard soil
Soft soil

Construction method
2. Cast-in-situ piles
- concrete pile.
- constructed by drilling holes in the
ground to the required depth and then
filling the hole with concrete.
- small diameter compared to drilled
piers.
- straight bored piles or with one or more
bulbs at intervals are casted
- with one or more bulbs are called as
under-reamed piles.
3. Driven and cast-in-situ piles.
- have the advantages of both driven and cast-in-situ piles.
- The construction process that show it is both drive and cast-in-situ:
Pile load test
Load tests on piles are conducted on completion of 28 days after casting of piles. Two types
of tests namely initial and routine tests, for each type of loading viz. vertical, horizontal
(lateral) pull out, are performed on piles. It aim to ensure the safe load capacity of piles and to
detect any unusual performance contrary to the findings of the Initial Test
Kentledge shall be suitably designed to get the desired reaction on the piles. Anchor piles (if
required) shall be placed at a centre to centre distance of 3 times the pile diameter subject to a
minimum distance of 2 M.

Reinforced concrete pile (used for the site)
● Precast, prestressed, cast in place, or of composite construction
● Precast concrete piles made using ordinary reinforcement or
prestressed.
● Ordinary reinforcement pile are designed to resist bending
stresses during picking up & transport to the site & bending
moments from lateral loads and to provide sufficient resistance
to vertical loads and any tension forces developed during driving.
● Prestressed piles are formed by tensioning high strength steel
prestress cables, and casting the concrete about the cable. When
the concrete hardens, the prestress cables are cut, with the
tension force in the cables now producing compressive stress in
the concrete pile. It is common to higher-strength concrete (35 to
55 MPa) in prestressed piles because of the large initial
compressive stresses from prestressing. Prestressing the piles,
tend to counteract any tension stresses during either handling or
driving.
● Max length: 10 - 15 m for precast, 20 - 30 m for prestressed
● Optimum length 10 - 12 m for precast. 18 - 25m prestressed
● Loads for usual conditions 900kN for precast. 8500 kN for
prestressed
● Optimum load range: 350 - 3500 kN
Advantages of reinforced concrete pile:
1. High load capacities, corrosion resistance can be attained, hard driving
possible
2. Cylinder piles in particular are suited for bending resistance.
3. Cast in place concrete piles are formed by drilling a hole in the ground &
filling it with concrete. The hole may be drilled or formed by driving a shell or
casing into the ground.

4.2.2 DEEP FOUNDATION (site visit)
1. Excavation, The subsoil of the site are excavated to
reduce the level for construction of pile cap. The
excavated materials are disposed off-site by the
lorry.
2. The pile is tied on its lifting lug. Lift the pile
and straighten it to ready for hammering.
3. The pile driven through the ground using
drop hammer. The subsoil around the pile is
displaced. The pile is driven to the grough until
it couldn’t be driven into the soil any further.
4. Cutting off the pile. The concrete is crushed
by the pneumatic hammer. The reinforcement
in the pile is cut manually. The cutted pile is
lift and disposed.

4.2.2 DEEP FOUNDATION (site visit)
5. The end of the pile is not structurally connect
to the footing which connect the column to the
base. Therefore, pile cap constructed. The
superstructure can start to build once pile cap
constructed.
Pile cap construction
1. Pilings are first trimmed to ensure that the individual columns are all the same length
and their tops are flush.
2. An area around the piling group is excavated to accommodate the timberwork that will
form the boxing or mold for the concrete.
3. The reinforcement for the slap will typically be built in the form of a steel cage that is
then inserted into the cast box and fasten to the piling group, typically with a timber frame or
cross member.
4. The concrete can be poured into the mold and allowed to cure. Once the concrete has
cured correctly, remove framework, leaving a slab of reinforced concrete joining the pilings.
Now the superstructural work can be started.
A thick concrete mat that rests on concrete or timber piles that have been driven into
soft or unstable ground in order to provide a suitable stable foundation.

There are numerous roof types and covering available. Shown and illustrated are the roof types:

Material used
● No tiles are used for the roof
covering. Zinculum is used
because of its durability and
strength. It is also thermal
efficent which is suitable for
the warm local climate.
● Rockwool is layered because
of its ability to provide
thermal and sound protection
for the roof. It’s also act as a
fire barrier.
● Aluminum foil is then placed
because it reflects thermal
radiation very well and emits
very little heat.
● Steel trusses and rafters act
the base of the roof covering.
Roof installation
1. A support brace is installed
on the top plate of the wall
bracing.
2. A ridge beam is added to the
support brace. Struts are then
added to the ridge beam to
create a higher end of the
slope.
3. Rafters are added to the
structure to allow roof
covering to be placed on
later. After that, the
outrigger and purlin will be
attached to the structure.
4. The trusses are then added to
increase the strength of the
mono-pitched roof.
