POOR CONSTRUCTION METHODS AND WORKMANSHIP



         Poor construction methods and workmanship is responsible for the failure of buildings and structure. The poor construction methods and workmanship is caused due to negligence and inadequate quality control at construction site. The effects of some of the poor construction methods are discussed below:
a) Incorrect placement of steel
(b) Inadequate cover to reinforcement
(c) Incorrectly made construction joints
(d) Grout leakage
(e) Poor compaction
(f) Segregation
(g) Poor curing
(h) Too high a water content

Topics with explanations 

(a) Incorrect placement of steel

                   Incorrect placement of steel can result in insufficient cover, leading to corrosion of the reinforcement. If the bars are placed grossly out of position or in  the wrong position, collapse can occur when the element is fully loaded.
(b) Inadequate cover to reinforcement
              Inadequate cover to reinforcement permits ingress of moisture, gases and other substances and leads to corrosion of the reinforcement and cracking and spalling of the concrete.
(c) Incorrectly made construction joints
                   The main faults in construction joints are lack of preparation and  poor compaction. The old concrete should be washed and a layer of rich concrete laid before pouring is continued. Poor joints allow ingress of moisture and staining of the concrete face.
(d) Grout leakage
                  Grout leakage occurs where formwork joints do not fit together properly. The result is a porous area of concrete that has little or no cement and fine aggregate. All formwork joints should be properly sealed.
(e) Poor compaction
                 If concrete is not properly compacted by ramming or vibration the result is a  portion of porous honeycomb concrete. This part must be hacked out and recast. Complete compaction is essential to give a dense, impermeable concrete.
(f) Segregation
                 Segregation occurs when the mix ingredients become separated. It is the result of
1. dropping the mix through too great a height in placing (chutes or pipes should be used in such cases)
2. using a harsh mix with high coarse aggregate content
(g) Poor curing
               A poor curing procedure can result in loss of water through evaporation. This can cause a reduction in strength if there is not sufficient water for complete hydration of the cement. Loss of water can cause shrinkage cracking. During curing the  concrete should be kept damp and covered.
(h) Too high a water content
                Excess water increases work ability but decreases the strength and increases the porosity and permeability of the hardened concrete,which can lead to corrosion of the reinforcement. 
The correct water-to-cement ratio for the mix should be strictly enforced.


PROJECT REPORT OF AN ASSESMENT OF GROUND WATER QUALITY AROUND INDUSTRIAL AREA IN CUDDALORE DISTRICT




ASSESMENT OF GROUND WATER QUALITY AROUND INDUSTRIAL AREA IN CUDDALORE DISTRICT



PROJECT GUIDE :  Dr. GNANAPRAGASAM







Abstract
Water is an indispensable natural resource on this earth on which all life depends. About 97 percentage of the earth’s surface is covered by water and most of animals and plants have 60 to 65 percentage water in their body. Due to its unique properties water is of multiple uses for all living organisms. Human’s being depends on water for almost every development activity.  Uptake of nutrients, their distribution in the body, regulation of temperature and removal wastes are all mediated through water. The water which is taken up but not returned for reuse.  Globally, only about 60 percentage of the water with drawn is consumed due to loss through evaporation with increasing human population and rapid development. The world water with drawn demands have increasing many folds and a large proportion of the water with drawn is polluted due to anthropogenic activities.
So we are in the need to analyze the drinking water quality. This thesis work deals with the drinking water quality around industrial area in Cuddalore. There are various water quality parameters such as Odor, Turbidity, Electrical Conductivity, pH, Total Dissolved Solids, Total Hardness, Calcium, Magnesium, Chloride, Fluoride, Total Alkalinity, Iron are used to access the drinking water quality.







Literature Survey:

      Nasrullah, et al., (2004) studied on the “analysis of pollution load in industrial effluent and ground water of Gadoon Amazai Industrial Estate, Swabi, NWFP”.  Samples were collected from eight different industrial units including chemical, marble, soap and oil, textile, ghee and steel industries and main drain and were analyzed for various physical and chemical parameters like pH, EC, TSS, TDS and heavy metals content.The results of the ground water samples showed pH values ranging from 6.82-7.9°C with EC 0.351-0.511dSm-1, temperature was found from 26.0-26.7oC, TSS was 1.78-2.09mgL-1, TDS ranged from 139-513 mgL-1 and BOD of ground water was in range from 0.294-0.802mgL-1. mental Quality Standards.
      M. Balakrishnan et al (2008) had reported on the “Impact of dyeing industrial effluents on the groundwater quality in Kancheepuram (India)”Twenty groundwater samples were collected from various parts of the dyeing industrial region and the samples were analysed with standard analytic methods.The concentrations of total dissolved solids (1138 to 2574 mg/L), chloride (216 to 847 mg/L), total hardness (225 to 760 mg/L), sulphate (64 to 536 mg/L), nitrate (up to 58 mg/L), iron (up to 2.3 mg/L) and lead (up to 0.281 mg/L) were found to be higher and exceeded the permissible limits of BIS and WHO standards.
      C. R. RAMAKRISHNAIAH et al(2009) studied on the “Assessment of Water Quality Index for the Groundwater in Tumkur Taluk,Karnataka State, India”The present work is aimed at assessing the water quality index (WQI) for the groundwater of Tumkur taluk..For calculating the WQI, the following 12 parameters have been considered: pH, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate, chloride, nitrate, sulphate, total dissolved solids, iron, manganese and fluorides.This has been determined by collecting groundwater samples and subjecting the samples to a comprehensive physicochemical analysis.The WQI for these samples ranges from 89.21 to 660.56
      K. Saravanakumar et al (2011) done the study on” Analysis of water quality parameters of groundwater near Ambattur industrial area, Tamil Nadu, India”This paper presents groundwater quality of Ambattur industrial area in Chennai City. Ten different locations were selected for the study and compared.The parameters studied were pH, total alkalinity, total hardness, turbidity,chloride, sulphate, fluoride, total dissolved solids and conductivity.From overall analysis, it was observed that there was a slight fluctuation in the physico-chemical parameters among the water samples studied. From overall analysis, it was observed that there was a slight fluctuation in the physico-chemical parameters among the water samples studied.Comparison of the physico-chemical parameters of the water sample with WHO and ICMR limits showed that the groundwater is highly contaminated and account for health hazards for human use.

      N.V. Srikanth Vuppala (2012) had done the “STUDY OF GROUND WATER QUALITY ANALYSIS IN INDUSTRIAL ZONE OF VISAKHAPATNAM”There is a wide variation in the quality of water from point, which is reflected by the related parameters.Hydrogeochemical studies were carried out in industrial area to assess the ground water quality ground water samples from 10 bore wells. Industries consume large quantities to water for their process and then discharge their effluents on to the adjoining areas without pre-treatment. This lead to the deterioration of ground water quality significantly besides impoverishing the environment.












Introduction:
            Water resources are sources of water that are useful potentially useful to humans. Uses of water include agricultural, industrial, household, recreational, and environmental activities virtually all of these human uses require fresh water.
97 percentage of water on the earth is salt water leaving only 3 percentage as fresh water of which slightly over two thirds is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. The remaining unfrozen fresh water is mainly found as ground water, with only a small fraction present above ground water or in the air.
Fresh water is a renewable resource, yet the world’s supply of clean, fresh water is steadily decreasing water  demand already exceeds supply in many parts of the world and as the world population continues to rise, so too does the water demand. Awareness of the global importance of preserving water  for eco-system services has only recently emerged as, during the 20th century, more than half the world’s wetlands have been lost along with their valuable environmental services biodiversity fresh water eco-system are currently declining faster than marine or land eco-system the frame work for allocating water resources to water users is know as water rights.
Sources of water:
Water is used for domestic, industrial and agricultural purposes are obtained from various sources. The major sources of water are as follows.
·         Surface water-ponds, river, stream and lake
·         Sub-surface water- infiltration wells
·         Ground water- springs and wells
Impurities in water:
It is not possible to find pure water n nature the rain water as it drops down to the surface of earth dust and gases from the atmosphere. It is further exposed to the organic matter on the surface is earth by the time, it reaches the sources of water supply, and it is found to contain various other impurities also.
The impurities present in water can be generally classified as follows:
·         Physical impurities
·         Chemical impurities
·         Bacteriological impurities




























Study area:

Cuddalore is situated at northern region of Tamilnadu state lying between latitude 11° 43' North and longitude 79° 49’east ( Fig.1). Bore well water is generally using for drinking and irrigation purposes in this district. The salinity intrusion and industrial pollution of ground water are the two key reasons for deterioration of water quality. The ground water samples were collected in polythene bottles from bore wells and Municipal supply water of seven panchayat villages of Cuddalore district during December 2010 - February 2011.

Sampling procedure:
  • Water for chemical examination should be collected in a clean, white 2 liter polythene container.
  • The source from which water is collected should be in regular use. Otherwise the source should be adequately flushed before sampling. For hand pump sources, the water should be pumped and wasted for at least three to five minutes to clear all dirt, slime and turbidity. Water from wells should be taken in the middle at mid depth.
  • Before collection of sample the container should be washed with the water to be sampled for at least 2 to 3 times.
  • The water should be then filled completely in the container without leaving any air space.
  • Place the inner cap. Place a polythene sheet (10*10 cm) in between the inner and outer caps. Screw the outer cap. Place another polythene sheet of same size over the outer cap and tie the neck with a rubber band or twine thread.
  • Label the container with all required source particulars.
