Importance of communication

Importance  of  Communication

We had a chance to attend a class on Communicative English taken by Mr. Pasanth during my DCM training at Marine Drive. He took classes related to communication skills. he suggested some of his views for improving our language and the importance of communication.
Communication is fundamental to the existence and survival of humans as well as to an organization. It is a process of creating and sharing ideas, information, views, facts, feelings, etc. among the people to reach a common understanding. Communication is the key to the directing function of management. A manager may be highly qualified and skilled but if he does not possess good communication skills, all his ability becomes irrelevant. A manager must communicate his directions effectively to subordinates to get the work done from them properly.

Communications Process

Communications is a continuous process that mainly involves three elements viz. sender, message, and receiver. The elements involved in the communication process are explained below in detail: The sender or the communicator generates the message and conveys it to the receiver. He is the source and the one who starts the communication. It is the idea, information, view, fact, feeling, etc. that is generated by the sender and is then intended to be communicated further. The message generated by the sender is encoded symbolically such as in the form of words, pictures, gestures, etc. before it is being conveyed. It is the manner in which the encoded message is transmitted. The message may be transmitted orally or in writing. The medium of communication includes telephone, internet, post, fax, e-mail, etc. The choice of medium is decided by the sender. It is the process of converting the symbols encoded by the sender. After decoding the message is received by the receiver. He is the person who is last in the chain and for whom the message was sent by the sender. Once the receiver receives the message and understands it in a proper perspective and acts according to the message, only then the purpose of communication is successful. Once the receiver confirms to the sender that he has received the message and understood it, the process of communication is complete.

3 4 5 METHOD USED IN SETTING OUT

3 4 5 METHOD USED IN SETTING OUT The 3 4 5 method is an accurate method use in Ge tting the Exact Square of a Plan instead of Using the Engineering Square which may not be accurate for a Longer Span.   The 3 4 5 method is an application of the Pythagoras Theorem. i.e Forming right Angle. Most times, 2 or 3 people are involved in this.  3 meters is Measure from the Parallel Line created, then 4 Meter Away from the First point forming a Right Angle, you use your Measuring tape to Confirm the distance between the 3m point noted at the parallel line and the 4m noted at the other line is 5m. Note that your Parallel line remains The same, you only shift the other line to form the right Angle.

HONEYCOMBS IN CONCRETE AND REMEDIES

Image
HONEYCOMBS IN CONCRETE AND REMEDIES Honeycombs  are hollow spaces and cavities left in concrete mass on a surface or inside the concrete mass where concrete could not reach. These look like honey bees nest. When concrete is poured into the formwork it does not just flow in like water and fill up the forms to the top. The concrete has to be vibrated for ease of flow and to form a uniform surface. If it is not vibrated properly it may leave voids exposing the aggregate. The surface on concrete appears as a rough, pitted with voids in concrete resulting incomplete filling with the gap between the aggregates of the concrete against the formwork. Such type of surface and texture on concrete resemblance like a Honeycomb in a beehive of Honey Bee. This scenario can happen on any structural element- Columns, Beams,, Lift Walls, Foundation of any type, etc. Honeycombs which are on sides are visible to naked eyes and can be detected easily as soon shuttering is removed. Honeycombs that are

Crank Bar in slab

Image
Crank Bar in  slab The slab is supported at two ends. The maximum tensile stress that is positive moments (sagging) acting in the middle of the slab and the maximum compressive stress that is negative moments (hogging) acting at both ends of the support. So bottom steel is required at the mid-span and top steel resists negative moments at the supports. A bent-up bar called a  crank bar  is provided to make RCC slab safe from compressive stresses. So crank bars are generally provided 1. To resist the negative bending moment (hogging). 2. To  resist shear force which is greater at supports. 3. To reduce the risk of brittle failure of slab-column connection. 4. To reduce the amount of steel used. 5. For the economization of materials.
