Asmin = 0.004 Ab

Asmin = 0.004 x 25 x 25 = 2.5 cm2

Token = 4 Ø 12 = 3.14 cm2

But, because of the minimum diameter of bar in the column is assumed as Ø 12, we
must use 4 Ø12

Thus we arrange the same steel up to the top floor

Temporary structures to be put up to cater for the clerk office, site manage, material store
and toilets.

PREPARATION FOR THE SITE LAYOUT PLAN

FACTORS TO CONSIDER DURING PREPARATION OF SITE LAYOUT

• Immediate environment neighboring the site.

• Security within the site

• The clear observation of all the activities

• The ease of handling the materials

• Maneuverability around the site

THE REQUIREMENT FOR A GOOD SITE LAYOUT PLAN

• Water point shall be near the mixer and away from the cement store.

• The store of the ballast to be near the mixer

• Watchman room to be near the gate and material store.

CHAPTER NINE

SERVICES

FIRE REPORT

The following classes of fire risks can occur at the building

1. Class A Fire: Fire caused by carbonation material such as wood, cloth or paper,
where cooling by water is most effective of reducing the temperature of the burning
materials.

2. Class B Fire: Fire caused by inflammable liquids including petroleum, grease paints,
varnishes etc. where blanketing or smothering effects of agent which exclude
oxygen is more effective.

3. Class C Fire: Includes all the risks where the problem of extinguishing the fire is
increased due to the danger of electric shock. The fire is in the presence of live
electrical equipment or wiring. A non-conducting extinguishes agent is therefore
required. In case of fire breakout, the main switch should be switched off
immediately

CONSIDERATION OF FIRE FIGHTING

1. Hinged hose reel 6mm @ nozzle fixed at them wall 1.5m above the floor level
situated into an escape corridor so that people living in the building as the first
firefighting. Hose reds will be fixed at interval of 25m apart.

2. Fire escape routes will be through stairs at the middle and the ends of the building.

3. Instruction of fire fighting incase of fire will be in posters hanged on the walls in
each floor.

4. Fire extinguishers at exits, escape routes and staircase landing on wall
