Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Last time, I wrote about the vertical borders of the legal frame.

Appearance accounts for 90% of the legal framework

This time, it's a horizontal frame.

Last time, we extended the vertical frame to the left and right using the main survey line (study cross-section) as the axis.

Next is the horizontal frame, but,Basic LevelThat's it!

The term “level” refers to the horizontal plane in civil engineering.

Both slope contractors and civil engineersThe perception that "level" means "horizontal"I have one.

This is what it looks like when you draw a horizontal line.

This is really the absolute basics, isn't it?

Occasionally, there are job sites—such as those managed by NEXCO—where we’re instructed to adjust the slope to match the road gradient, but generally, the surface should be level.

 

Next, the key point regarding the horizontal frame is whether to place the mago at the top or at the bottom.

"Mago" refers to the leftover portion. (The term varies by region.)

This is what a "mago" looks like.

When cutting standard cells (square frames designed according to specifications) from the formwork shoulder, a gap will occur if the formwork pitch does not match the length of the cut cross-section.

 

The appearance of the frame changes significantly depending on where you place the mago.

For example, when you look at the legal framework from the bottom up, the bottom edge is hard to see, isn't it?

If the bottom edge of the pattern isn't visible, placing a "mago" at the bottom edge will increase the number of standard squares in the pattern frame, making it look neater.

In a situation where a car is passing right next to the curb shown below, wouldn't it be harder for drivers and pedestrians to see the curb if it were higher up?

I think there are a lot of "mago" on the top of the curbs along the road. (The supervisor's judgment is pretty biased based on his own feelings and experience, lol.)

It’s becoming quite important to figure out how to make the magos harder to see.

Where should I install the Mago?

This is a very important aspect that affects the overall appearance.

 

When installing a window frame, I think it’s a good idea to keep these points in mind during installation.

Not only does it look good, but it also feels stable, and there are no issues pointed out during inspections.

Appearance really matters, doesn't it!

Please give careful consideration to the layout (centering) of the legal frame.

 

See you later.
