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.
