i have made all the slide according to poly diploma and BTech this chennal is gold for poly diploma and BTech students. follow me for all updates and i will help u in make a quality of notes if u have any doubt fell free to ask on comment section i will reply as fast as a cheeta I love to interact with you all.

1. SHORING , UNDERPINNING
AND SCAFFOLDING
content :
1. Shoring (uses and types)
2. Underpinning (purpose and types)
3. Scaffolding (parts and types)

2. SHORING – It is the construction of temporary structure to support
temporarily unshaped structure .
• It is lateral support to wall.
USES –
1. When a wall shows sign of bulging out due to bad workman ship.
2. When a wall cracks due to unequal settlement of foundation and cracked
wall needs repairing.
3. When an adjacent structure is to be dismantled.
4. When opening are to be made or enlarged in the wall.

3. SHORES ARE OF THREE TYPES –
1. Raking shores
2. Flying shores
3. Dead shores
RAKING SHORES –
Ranking shores is a system of giving temporary support to an unsafe wall.
1.Rakers are to be inclined in the ground at 45º. However the angle may be
between 45º and 75º .
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.
8.Wedges should not be used on sole plates since they are likely to give way
under vibrations that are likely to occur.

4. A raking shore consists of following components .
1. Rakers / inclined members
2. Wall plate
3. Needles
4. Cleats
5. Bracing
6. Sole plate

5. FLYING / HORIZONTAL SHORES - Flying or Horizontal Shores, in this type horizontal
supports are provided for supporting temporarily the parallel walls of the two adjacent
buildings, which may tend to collapse or damage when one of the intermediate buildings
has to be pulled down and rebuilt.

6. DEAD SHORES - Dead Shores or Vertical Shores, In this system of shoring, the vertical
members known as ‘dead shores’ are used to support temporarily the walls, roofs,
floors, etc., by providing horizontal members known as needle. objectives:
(i) To rebuild the lower part of a defective load bearing wall
(ii) To rebuild (or replace) or deepen the existing foundations, which have either become
unsafe or require strengthening for carrying heavier loads
(iii) To provide large openings in the existing walls such as doors, windows, shop fronts
or garages at a lower level.

8. Underpinning – the process of placing a new foundation under an existing one or to
strengthen an existing foundation is called underpinning of foundation.
PURPOSE :
1. To strengthen the shallow foundation of existing building when a building with deep
foundation is to be constructed.
2. To strengthen existing foundation which has settled and caused cracks on the wall.
3. To deepen the existing foundation (resting on poor strata) so as to rest it on deeper
soil strata of higher bearing power.
4. To construct a basement in existing building.

9. This is how underpinning looks like

10. METHODS OF UNDERPINNING
1. PIT METHOD
2. PILE METHOD
PIT METHOD - In this method, the entire length of foundation is divided into sections of 1.2 to
1.5 m lengths . One section is taken at one time.
For each section, a hole is made in the wall, above plinth level , the needle is inserted in the
hole. Needle may be made up of timber or steel section. Bearing plates are placed above
needle to support the masonry above it.

11. The foundation pit is then excavated to desired level and new foundation is laid . When the
work on one section is over, work on next section is taken up.
PILE METHOD – In this method, piles are driven at regular interval along both the side of wall.
The piles are connected by concrete or steel needle, penetrating through the wall. These beams
incidentally acts as pile caps also. this method is very helpful in clayey soil, and water logged
areas. The existing foundation is very much relieved of the load.

12. SCAFFOLDING
Scaffolding is a temporary structure to support the original structure as well as workmen
used it as a platform to carry on the construction works.
It is in the form of timber or steel framework.

13. IT’S COMPONENTS –
1. Standard – these are vertical members of framework, supported on the ground or drum,
or embedded into ground.
2. Ledgers – these are horizontal members, running parallel to the wall.
3. Braces – these are diagonal members fixed on standards.
4. Putlogs – these are transverse members, placed at right angle to the wall one end
supported on ledgers and other on the wall.
5. Transoms – these are those putlogs whose both ends are supported on ledgers.
6. Bridle
7. Boarding
8. guard rail
9. Toe board
