What are the different types of shoring?

Shoring , back shoring and re shoring are usually used to support concrete structures, it's basics of construction work to hire structure design engineer to design shoring system for vertical (beans, slabs) and horizontal structures( walls, columns).

Shoring system shall be reviewed by structure engineer to ensure safety of workers and passengers.

Definition of Shoring, Back shoring and re shoring

Shoring :used to support horizontal structures like slab system that will be poured

Back shoring used to support slab system that recent poured to prevent bending under it's own weight

Re shoring used to support slab system that was poured after the slab has defected under it's own weight

Form work means the surface of the form and framing used to contain and shape wet concrete until it is self supporting

False work Temporary constructions such as props or scaffolding to support arched or spanning structures by holding them in place until they can support themselves.

Scaffolding is a temporary structure whose primary purpose is to provide access (workers, equipment, material)

Shuttering is the most popular type of form work (timber and plywood)

KEYSTONE RETAINING WALL

Introduction:- Keystone is a mechanical stabilized earth wall MSEW which used to retain soil from one side, it's less cost than concrete walls. Material 1-Keystone Blocks 2-Fiberglass Pins 3-Geo-grids 4- Back-filling Material 5-Concrete pad Different type of Geogrid: TT045 can carry load till 45KN/m. TT060 can carry load till. 60KN/m. TT090 can carry load till 90KN/m. TT120 can carry load till 120KN/m. TT160 can carry load till. 160KN/m. Method Statement 1) Place HDPE Geogrids on top of the compacted soil. HDPE Geogrids are installed from the front on top of the fiber glass pins (which penetrates the grid) and from to back, Geogrids are fixed horizontally using a steel bars. 2) Lay down the precast concrete units on top of a PC foundation at a level that is a Minimum of 5% from the wall height and reach 10% (buried height) to prevent any lateral movement . 3) Put the layers of Geotextile. 4) Backfilling using fine gravel behind the wall for a distance of 50 cm, max size o
