Question

Accepted Answer

In shuttering work of a structure, we should check for proper alignment, adequate support, and quality of materials.

Check if the shuttering is aligned properly to ensure accurate dimensions and shape of the structure.
Ensure that the shuttering is adequately supported to prevent any collapse or deformation during concrete pouring.
Inspect the quality of materials used for shuttering, such as plywood or steel, to ensure they meet the required standards.
Verify that the joints between shuttering panels are tightly sealed to prevent leakage of concrete.
Check for any damage or deterioration in the shuttering materials that could affect the quality of the structure.
Ensure that the shuttering is properly braced to withstand the pressure exerted by the concrete.
Inspect the surface of the shuttering for any irregularities or roughness that could affect the finish of the concrete.
Check if the shuttering is adequately reinforced to withstand the weight of the concrete and any additional loads.
Verify that the shuttering is properly cleaned and free from any debris or contaminants before concrete pouring.

In shuttering  we check level and layout after that we checking bars like main bars rings .  we check face and bottom exp 250×250 column then we make face 270-290 and bottom 250 .thats make face to hold bottom then we check support like tie rod which hold the structure after that we check level after pouring of concrete
