NATURAL STRUCTURAL CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES
Determine whether the material should be allowed to be incorporated or be rejected into the work
material testing
Documented proof of the quality of materials
material testing
Tool for measuring quality control in project implementation
material testing
How materials are represented by a test
In accordance with the minimum testing requirements
Additional number of test can be required
Quality test of cement
1-Q every 2000 bags or fraction thereof
Quality test of CHB
1-Q every 10000 pcs or fraction thereof
Judgement by the costumer or users of a product or service
Quality
Extent to which the costumer or user feels the product or service surpasses their needs and expectations
Quality
Characteristics of a product that provides a level of performance in terms of service and life
Quality
Used in relation to something in need of checking or regulating due to some important and compelling reasons
Control
Used to correct something which has gone wrong or in other words.
Control
Is instituted as a corrective measure
Control
Widely and increasingly used in most industries to gauge the performance and excellence of work and product
Quality control
Purpose of Quality control in project 1
Insure the highest quality of work and extend the service life of any structure by constructing according to the prescribed plans and specifications
Indicate the specific type of the structure
plan
Present the characteristic in which it is built, as well as the materials that are to be incorporated into the work
Specifications
Purpose of Quality control in project 2
To check and regulate the use of construction materials and to economize on the cost of construction
Normally, every material should be subjected to?
testing
Inspection
and verification before acceptance
Who’s responsibility is Quality Control?
Everyone involved in the construction
as well as
the contractor’s engineers, inspectors, technicians, and even an ordinary laborors
Used in DPWH standards
Specifications
Applies to the written contract documents which includes material and workmanship requirements, inspection, and testing procedures and procedures for measurement and payment of the work.
Specification
Functions of specifications under the respect to the owner and his engineer
obligation to define material and workmanship requirements
Inspection and testing during the period of execution to indicate how work will be measured and paid for
Functions of specifications under the respect to the contractor
Obligation of complying with the contract requirements during the construction period
Meaning of GPC
Grading Plasticity Compaction
The prescribed tests on the construction materials to be used in a project based on approved contract quantities
Minimum testing requirements
The requirements which specify the kind and number of tests for each pay item of works
Minimum testing requirements
What is item 200 and 201
Sub base course
Base course
An unconsolidated or loose, combination of organic and inorganic materials
Soil
Organic materials of soil
Many time life forms that inhabit or live in the soil
Inorganic components of soil
Rocks and Minerals that have been gradually broken down by weather, chemical action and other natural processes
Considered a three-phase material composed of rocks or mineral particles, water and air.
Soil
Engineering properties of soil
Shear Strength
Stiffness
Permeability
Include shallow and deep doundation
Foundation built for above-ground structures
Includes earth-filled dams and retaining walls
Retaining Structures
Include embankment, tunnels, dikes, reservoirs, and sanitary landfills
Earthworks
Engineering Classification of Soil
A. Granular soil
B. Fine- grained soil
C. Organic soil
Passing 75mm (3’’) and retained on 0.075mm (#200) sieves
Granular or course-grained
May be crushed or natural angular particles and passing 75mm and retained on 2.0mm (#10) sieves
Stone
Rounded particles passing 75mm and retained on 2.0mm sieves mostly found in rivers
Gravel
Passing 2.0 mm and retained on 0.075mm sieves
Sand
(+) 2.0mm
(-) 0.425mm (#40)
course Sand
(+) 0.425 mm
(-) 0.075 mm
Fine sand
Granular Soil
Good load bearing qualities
Permeable, hence they drain easily
Comparatively incompressible when subjected to static loads
Not subject to changes in strength or volume due to variation in water content
Will undergo considerable reduction in volume if subjected to vibratory loads
Loose granular materials
Passing 0.075 mm and larger than 0.002 mm (fine and barely visible grains
Silt
