This document discusses scaffolding and shoring techniques used during construction. It describes how shoring provides temporary stability to structures during repairs or alterations by supporting areas where defective portions have been removed or where uneven settling is a risk. Specific shoring techniques are outlined, including raking shores which involve inclined wooden beams anchored into the ground at a 45-75 degree angle and braced to support walls. Proper spacing and sizing of rakers is emphasized based on the anticipated wall thrust. Bricklayer scaffolds are also summarized, involving vertical support beams secured in the ground and connected by horizontal beams every 120-150 cm to provide a working platform for masons.

SHORING
• It is the means of
providing support to
get stability of a
structure temporarily
under certain
circumstances during
construction, repair
or alteration.

APPLICATIONS
Such circumstance arises when…
• 1. The stability of a structure is
endangered due to removal of a
defective portion of the structure.
• 2. The stability of a structure is
endangered due to unequal
settlement during construction
itself or in long run.
• 3. Certain alterations are to be
done in present structure itself. Eg:
remodeling of walls, changing
position of windows etc.

Points toremember…
• 1. Rakers are to be inclined in the
ground at 45 degree. However
the angle may be between
45 and 75 degree .
• 2. For tall buildings, the length of
the raker can be reduced by
introducing rider raker.
• 3. Rakers should be properly
braced at intervals.
• 4. The size of the rakers is to be
decided on the basis of
anticipated thrust from the wall.
• 5. The centre line of a raker and
the wall should meet at floor level.
• 6. Shoring may be spaced at 3 to
4.5m spacing to cover longer
length of the bar.
• 7. The sole plate should be
properly embedded into the
ground on an inclination and
should be of proper section and
size.

6. Brick -layers scaffold
It cosists of vertical members
called standards firmly secured in
ground 2.4 to 3 m. The standards
are connected to each other by
longitudinal horizontal members
called at every rise of 120 to 150
cm putlugs are generally spaced
120 cm apart.
