Concrete Layng for Ground floor flat roof

Concreting of Ground floor flat roof done today after completng steel reinforcment work and Electrical points at roof level as per my instructions and design.
Originally steel workers were planning to do steel work just simply as a net.This type of steel work do  not require much time ,care and precision.It also does not have any engineering basis.Probably only due to luck of owner of house,concrete roof thus concreted remain in tact .Considering the fact that most of the houses especially in village areas are being constucted without any professional guidance simply relying on lack of knowlege ,rather than knowledge of the contractor,it is a wonder that buildings remain in tact possibly due to better rains in Kerala.
Even at the time of concrete laying workers prefer the easier way of working rather than following proper and correct engineering standards.

Form work for Fat roof slab

Form work for flat roof slab for Ground Floor completed
Detailed drawings and instructions were given  on steel reiforcement work to the workers.
As the steel work is different from what they normally follow for roof slab and beams along with roof slab,they wil take little more time to complete the  steel work.
Thoomanam supplied and three rolls of Bitumen paper also supplied.
This will be kept above brick walls to prevent pulling up of brick walls when concrete roof get heated up by sun and expands upward.Without usng this paper if concrete is laid,there will be chances of breakage of brick walls due to continuose pullng up of concrete roof dueto heat of sun.
