WEEK 1 PRACTICAL TITLE: SCAFFOLDING AIM: ERECTION OF SAVE SCAFFOLD THEORY: Scaffold is a temporary structure from which persons can gain access to a place of work in order to carryout building operations. It includes any working platforms, ladder and guardrail. Basically, there are two form of scaffolding Putlog scaffolds Independent scaffolds

MATERIALS: Scaffold can be of: Tabular steel Tabular aluminum alloy Timber

PROCEDURE: ERECTION Of SCAFFOLDING 1. the standard must be vertical or slightly inclined towards the building 2. the base of the steward must not rest directly on the ground or it could sink under pressure. The structure must have a case plate between the foot of the steward and the ground to take the load. 3. putlog and transform that support the platform must be fixed securely to the standards or ledgers in approve manners so that they do not move

4. the scaffolding should be fixed to the walls of the building under construction at 10metres intervals across the building face 5. putlog scaffold should have diagonal 6. braces between standard on alternative bay 7. the span between standards should be less than 2400mm. 8. scaffolds should be erected by fully trained people only. 9. parts of the scaffolding should not be moved unless you check the changed fitting carefully.

SITE VISIT The student were taking to a construction site to see the installation and working principle or scaffold. Student are expected to write a site visit report of scaffolds.

WEEK 2 PRACTICAL TWO TITLE: FIXING WINDOW IN OPENING AIM: TO FIX WINDOW IN OPENING A timber window can be fixed in place as an opening is built or afterwards. Generally, it is better practice to fix window later to prevent exposure of the internal parts to weather. To do this you must fix plugs into the recesses in the frame and during construction and then screw the window in place You follow the same procedure to fix windows in place while walls are being built as for doors. Metal windows are usually fix in place after the walls are constructed. You should leave holes in the frames for screws to fit into the plugs in the wall. After the frame in inserted you should fill the joint around the frame with a waterproof mastic cement.

COMMENT: student are asked to go to site to see how doors and windows are fixed to buildings. Student are encourage to write a comprehensive report.

WEEK 3 TITLE: LAYING A TERRAZZO FINISH AIM: TO KNOW HOW TO LAY TERRAZZO FINISH PROCEDURES 1. pour the terrazzo into bays separated by metal strips 2. consolidate and compact the mixture with a roller 3. smooth the mixture with a steel trowel and leave it to harden 4. grind the surface with a rough past to make a smooth finish 5. wash and buff with a polisher.

WEEK 4 TITLE: PLASTERING AIM: KNOW HOW TO PLASTER A WALL PROCEDURES 1. Put mounds of cement and sand mortar across the wall in columns of three about 1200mm apart. Check that the mounds are in a straight line. Smooth the mounds to a thickness of about 10mm. Leave them to set hard 2. apply 75mm vertical strips of plaster (called screed) over the mounds and leave them to set 3. mix the plaster by hand or with a small mixer 4. apply a rough plaster coat to the wall between the screed by putting it on with an upward sweeping movement 5. move the screed board from the bottom to the top of the wall in a sawing motion to smooth and level the plaster. 6. scratch the first coat before it set to provide a key for the second coat and leave to dry. 7. apply a finishing coat of 2mm neat plaster with a steel float to produce a thick, smooth finish.

WEEK 5 TITLE: PAINTING OF WALL AND CEILING AIM: KNOW HOW TO PAINT SMOOTH PLASTER ON WALLS AND CEILINGS PROCEDURES: 1. remove all plaster splashes with scraper 2. fill in and rub down any holes, scratches or grooves 3. remove dust with a soft brush 4. dilute the emulsion with 10 percent additional water and paint it on as a priming coat 5. leave it about an hour 6. apply the full strength emulsion 7. leave it for 2 or 3 hours 8. paint on the final coat of emulsion.

WEEK 6. TITLE: FIXING DOOR FRAMES AND LININGS AIM: KNOW HOW TO FIX DOOR FRAMES AND LINING PROCEDURES: 1. Brace the frame or lining to keep it square. 2. paint the crack of the frame to prevent the entry of moisture from the masonry 3. screw galvanized metal fastening to the back of the frame or lining which match the masonry courses. 4. stand the structure in position, level and support it with struts. 5. build the fastening into the masonry joint to secure the frame or lining in position permanently.

WEEK 7
TITLE: FIXING DOOR FRAME AND LINING AFTER WALL IS BUILT AIM: KNOW HOW TO FIX DOOR FRAME AND LINING AFTER WALL IS BUILD PROCEDURES:

1. leave the opening that is about 3 4mm bigger than the frame when the wall is built 2. insert wood plugs into some of the masonry joint that face the opening during construction 3. put the frame in position after the wall and lintel are built 4. level the frame with small timber pieces 5. drill holes in the frame or lining for screws to go into the plugs in the masonry. 6. countersink the screws and fill the holes.

11

WEEK 8 TITLE: FIXING GLASS IN FRAME AIM: KNOW HOW TO FIX GLASS IN WOOD FRAME PROCEDURES: 1. prime the wood to keep the oil in the linseed putty 2. apply putty to the recess in the frame and fit the glass 3. put more putty around the outside of the joint where the glass lies in the frame. 4. level off the putty that it slopes to line up with the top of the recess ( creating a sight line) 5. if the glass is fixed to an internal door, then bed the glazing in timber glazing beads, which are nailed to the frame on four sides. This prevents the glass rattling when the door is opened and closed.

12

WEEK 9 TITLE: FIXING GLASS IN STEEL FRAMES AIM: KNOW HOW TO FIX GLASS IN STEEL FRAMES PROCEDURES: 1. use a special metal glazing putty, which sticks better than ordinary putty 2. put the bottom edge of the glass on two small blocks so that it does not rest on the lintel 3. continue fixing as for wood frame

13

WEEK 10 TITLE: PAINTING OF WOOD WORK WITH GLOSS PAINT AIM: KNOW HOW WORK IS PAINTED WITH GLOSS PAINT PROCEDURES: 1. rub down the wood in the direction of the grain with glass paper 2. clean all dust and dirt from the surface 3. seal knots to prevent resin leaking through with a mixture of shellac and methylated spirit 4. seal the bare wood with primer 5. fill holes and cracks with a plastic filler paste 6. rub the surface with glass paper to smooth the filler 7. brush on the undercoat

14

WEEK 11 TITLE: PAINTING METAL WORK WITH GLOSS PAINT AIM: PAINT PROCEDURES: 1. remove any rust with wire wool and clean with white spirit to remove grease 2. paint dry metal with primer (not in damp, cold weather). A second coat of prima is optional 3. rub down the primer 4. brush on the undercoat 5. rub down the undercoat 6. brush on the gloss KNOW HOW TO PAINT METAL WORK WITH GLOSS

15

WEEK 12 TITLE: HOW TO BUILD A SEPTIC TANK AIM: KNOW HOW SEPTIC TANK IS BUILT PROCEDURES: 1. excavate the hole for the tank, observing the safety precaution 2. cast a concrete base 3. build up 215mm wall for the outside surface of the tank 4. build 102.5mm internal walls 5. cover top of the tank with 75mm reinforced concrete panels, which are loosely set on the top of the walls for ventilation and to make it easy to remove scum 6. insert entry and exit pipes with t-junctions and extensions to push the sludge to the bottom.

16

WEEK 13 TITLE: OPENING IN BRICK WALL AIM: MAKING AN IN SITU LINTEL PROCEDURES: 1. Erect the timber form across the opening and support it from the floor below 2. use wedges to level the supports and formwork 3. seal all the joint with building paper or mastic between the timber formwork and the brickwork to stop the cement and water leaking out 4. paint the inside of the formwork with releasing oil 5. place the reinforcement in the formwork 6. pour the concrete make sure that it flows down around and under the rods and cover it with wet sacking and leave for seven days.

17

WEEK 14 TITLE: BUILDING A MANHOLE AIM: KNOW HOW TO MAKE A BRICK MANHOLE PROCEDURES: 1. cast the concrete base 2. build up the walls and build in the drains which pass through them 3. bed the open channel sections and branch connections of the drains in the base 4. fill the space between the branches with concrete (this is called haunhing) the haunching in between the branches and the wall should be smooth and slope to the channels to keep the bottom of the manhole clean and dry. 5. when the brickwork is completed, render it in a 1:3 cement and sand mixture to make it watertight. 6. make a brick shelf at the top or lay a precast concrete slab over the top of the manhole if the frame for the cover is smaller than the base.

18

WEEK 15 TITLE: WORKABILITY TEST FOR CONCRETE AIM: KNOW HOW TO CARRYOUT SLUMP TEST PROCEDURES: 1. put mixed concrete in metal cone on a fist base 2. pack it down layer by layer with the tamping rod until the cone is full 3. level the top with a steel trowel 4. remove the cone and the concrete will sag (slump) 5. measure the distance from the top of the cone to the top of the slumped concrete. Compare this with the desired level of slump 6. increase or decrease the water in the mix to get the correct slump.
