2. LEARNING OUTCOMES:
At this topic, challenge yourself to attain the
following learning outcomes:
01 MASONRY
02 TYPES OF VARIETIES OF STONE
03 CLASSIFICATION OF BRICKS
04 BRICK LAYING & PATTERN
05 THE 5’S IN WORKING STATION
8. 1. Rubble is a stone that is irregular in
size, shape and texture.
Random rubble (Uncoursed)Stones
have to be chosen with meticulous
precision in order to fit together
properly.
Course rubble has a neater
appearance than random rubble but
more difficult to construct and
requires a large selection of stones
9. 2. Ashlar is a type of stone construction where all stones are dressed or cut to a
uniform shape, size, and surface appearance. Ashlar masonry is a very old type of
construction
Random ashlar is an arrangement of stones where in various sizes are used to
make courses that are not continuous for the whole length of the wall.
Course ashlar has a formal appearance.
10. BRICKS – SMALL RECTANGULAR BLOCKS THAT CAN BE
USED TO FORM PART OF THE BUILDINGS , TYPICALLY
WALLS. (FIREPLACE, CHIMNEYS)
THREE CLASSIFICATIONS OF BRICKS
1.COMMON BRICKS
2.FACE BRICKS
3.CALCIUM SILICATE BRICKS (SAND LIME)
12. Face Bricks are
used for exterior
and interior walls
and other
architectural
structures.
13. Calcium Silicate Bricks
(sand lime)
are made with alumina
and silica and are used for
furnaces and other
structures.
14. Brick Laying and Patterns
Bricks are laid in horizontal or vertical
layer with a string or nylon chord as
guide. The vertical layer of bricks is
guided by a plumb line wherein the
mortar having a thickness of 3 to 10
mm. is placed between layers
15. BLOCKS There are many types of blocks
which are most widely used as masonry
materials
CHB (Concrete Hollow Block)
used for all the types of construction
walls, partitions, dividers, fences, etc.,
Generally, a block consists of an outside
shell with a hollow center that is divided by
two or three vertical webs.
16. 5S in
Working
Station
01 SEIRI (SORT)
02 SEITON (SYSTEMATIZE)
03 SEIZO (SWEEP)
04 SEIKETSU (SANITIZE)
05 SHITSU (SELF-DISCIPLINE)
17. SEIRI (SORT) means “take out unnecessary items
and dispose”
Step 1 – Look around your workplace with your colleagues. Discover and
identify items which are unnecessary to your work. Then, dispose all
unnecessary items.
NEVER KEEP ANYTHING WHICH IS UNNECESSARY TO YOUR WORK.
Step 2 – If you and your colleagues cannot decide whether an item is necessary
or not, put DISPOSAL NOTICE with the data on the item and set item aside.
Step 3 – After a period, say two months, check if someone has the item or not.
If no one needed the item, that means the item is not needed for your work.
18. Step 1 – Make sure that all unnecessary items are eliminated from your
workplace.
Step 2 – Decide with your colleagues which things to put where taking
into account the flow of your work. The principle is to put most
frequently needed items close to the user so as to minimize the
movement of the person. Things which are not so often used could not
be placed slightly further away.
SEITON (SYSTEMATIZE) “Arrange necessary
items in good order to use”
19. The following are suggested for your SEISO (SWEEP) operation:
•Do not wait until things get dirty. Clean your workplace, including
machines, equipment, tools and furniture regularly so that they do
not have chance to get dirty.
•Put things inside for 3 minutes every day.
SEISO (SWEEP) “Clean your workplace”.
20. The following are suggested for your SEIKETSU
(SANITIZE) operation:
Create a maintenance system for housekeeping. Make
a schedule of cleaning for your workplace
SEIKETSU (SANITIZE) “ Maintain high standard of
housekeeping”.
So as not to waste your effort, do not stop after implementing
initial 3Ss.
21. SHITSUKE (SELF-DISCIPLINE)“Do things spontaneously
without being told or ordered.”
To help such corporate culture conducive to 5Ss, the following need to be
emphasized:
•Treat your workplace as your own home.
•You are spending most of your WAKING TIME at your workplace than at home.
•Your workplace is an important place where to make income for yourself and
your family.
•Make your workplace as clean and comfortable as your home.
