of an entrepreneur are: being an opportunity seeker, risk taker, goal
setter, excellent planner, and a confident problem solver who is also

Module 2
Environment and Market
Introduction
People who aspire to start a business need to explore the
economic, cultural, and social conditions prevailing in an area.

DRAFT
Needs and wants of the people in a certain area that are not met
may be considered as business opportunities. Identifying the needs
of the community, its resources, available raw materials, skills, and
appropriate technology can help a new entrepreneur in seizing a
business opportunity.
To be successful in any kind of business venture, potential
entrepreneurs should always look closely at the environment and
market. They should always be watchful on the existing opportunities
and constraints. The opportunities in the business environment are
those factors that provide possibilities for a business to expand
and make more profits. Constraints, on the other hand, are those
factors that limit the ability to grow, hence reduces the chance of
generating profit. One of the best ways to evaluate the opportunities
and constraints is to conduct SWOT (Strengths, Weakness,
Opportunities, and Threats) Analysis.

17
 SWOT analysis is a managerial tool to assess the environment.
This gathers important information, which in turn is used in strategic
planning. Strengths and weaknesses are internal in an organization.
Basically, they relate to resources owned by an organization, things
that one can have control over, as well as the extent of its marketing.
Opportunities and threats exist in the external environment.
Opportunities relate to the market, the development of new
technologies, and external factors such as government policies,
climate, and trends. Threats relate to what the competition is doing
as well as legal and other constraints.
Now that you have read some of the important considerations
to look into to be successful in any business, you are now ready to
explore more about the environment and market.
To begin with, first try to find out the competencies that you
will master after finishing this module.

a. identify what is of Value to the customer;

goals will trigger you to further achieve the ultimate objective of this
module. In the end, these goals would motivate you to learn more
about environment and market.

READING RESOURCES AND INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES
After setting your own personal goals and targets to achieve
the objectives of this module, you will have the opportunity to read
and learn more about environment and market. You too, will be
given a chance to do practical exercises and activities to deepen
your understanding of the topic.
Product Development
Product development refers to a process of making a new
product to be sold by a business or enterprise to its customers. It
may involvemodificationof an existing product, itspresentation,
or formulation of an entirelynew product that satisfies a newly
defined customersneeds or wantsanda market place.
The term developmentin this module refers collectively to the
entire process of identifying a market opportunity, creating a product
that appeals to the identified market, and finally, testing, modifying,
and refining the product until this will be ready for production. This
product can be any item to be sold to the consumers.

22
There are basic, yet vital questions that you can ask yourself
about, such as the follonw:
1. For whom are the product and services?
2. What benefit will the customers expect from it?
3. How will the product differ from the existing brand or from their
competitor?
When you find acceptable answers to these, you may now say
that you are ready to develop a product and render the expected
service.
Likewise, needs and wants of the people within the area should
also be taken into primary consideration. Everyone has his or her
own needs and wants. However, people have different concepts
of needs and wants. Needs in business are important things that
every individual cannot do without in a society. These include:
1. basic commodities for consumption
2. clothing and other personal belongings
3. shelter, sanitation and health

DRAFT
4. education
Basic needs are essential to every individual so he or she may
be able to live with dignity and pride in the community. These needs
can obviously help one generate business ideas and subsequently
develop product.
Wants are desires, luxury and extravagance that signify wealth
and an expensive way of living. Wants or desires are considered
above all the basic necessities of life. Some examples are the
eagerness or the passion of every individual which are non- basic
needs like fashion accessories, shoes, clothes, travelling around the
world, eating in an exclusive restaurant, watching movies, concerts,
and plays, having luxurious cars, wearing expensive jewelry, and
perfume, living in impressive homes, and others.
Needs and wants of people are the basic indicators of the kind
of business that you may engage into because it can serve as the
measure of your success. Some other good points that you might
consider in business undertakings are the kind of people, their needs,
wants, lifestyle, culture and tradition, and social orientation that they
23
have, in summary, product development entirely depends on the
needs and wants of the customers. Another important issue to deal
with is the key concepts of developing a product. The succeeding
topic shall enlighten you about the procedure in coming up with a
product.
Product Concepts Development
Concept development is a very critical phase in the development
of a product. From this stage, the needs of the target market are
identified and competitive products are reviewed before the product
specifications are defined. The product concept is selected along
with an economic analysis to come up with an outline of how a
product is being developed. Below is a figure that shows the stages
of concept development of a product.

Concept Development

Figure 3: Concept Development

The process of product development follows the following

steps:
A. Identify customer needs - An entrepreneur can easily identify
customers needs and wants by using a survey form, conducting
interviews,... In this stage, the information that can be possibly

24
 gathered here are product specifications (performance, taste,
size, color, shape, life span of the product, etc.). This stage is
very important because this would determine the quality of the
product to be produced or provided.

B. Establish target specifications - Based on customers needs

and reviews of competitive products, you may now establish
target specifications of the prospective new product and services.
Target specifications are essentially a wish list.

C. Analyze competitive products - It is imperative to analyze

existing competitive products to provide important information in
establishing product and services specifications. Other products
may exhibit successful design attributes that should be emulated
or improved upon in the new product or service.

D. Generate product concepts - After having gone through the

previous processes, you may now develop a number of product
concepts to illustrate what types of product and service are both

DRAFT
technically feasible and would best meet the requirements of the
target specifications.

E. Select a product concept -Through the process of evaluation

between attributes, a final concept is selected. After the final
selection, additional market research can be applied to obtain
feedback from certain key customers.

F. Refine product specifications - In this stage, product and

service specifications are refined on the basis of input from the
following results of extensive study, expected service life, and
projected selling price.

G. Perform economic analysis - Throughout the process of

product development, it is very important to always review and
estimate the economic implications arising from the development
expenses, manufacturing costs, and selling price of the product
and services to be offered.

25
H. Plan the remaining development project - In this final stage of
concept development, you may prepare a detailed development
plan which includes a list of activities, the necessary resources
and expenses, and a development schedule with milestones for
tracking progress.

Finding Value

People buy for a reason. There should be something in your

product or services that would give consumers a good reason to
go back and buy more. There must be something that makes you
the best option for your target customers; otherwise they have no
reason to buy what you are selling. This implies further that you offer
something to your customers that will make them value or treasure
your product and services.

The value that you incorporate to your product is called value

proposition. Value proposition is a believable collection of the most
persuasive reasons people should notice you and take the action

DRAFT
you are asking for. Value is created by fulfilling deep desires and
solving deep problems. This is what gets the people moving, and
what gets them spending for your product and service.

Innovation
Innovation is the introduction of something new in your product
or services. This may be a new idea, a new method or a device.
If you want to increase your sales and profit you must innovate.
Some of the possible innovations in your products are change of
packaging, improved taste, color, size, shape and perhaps price.
Some of the possible innovations in providing services are the
application of new improved methods, additional featured services,
and possibly freebees.

26
Unique Selling Proposition (USP)
Unique selling proposition is the factor or consideration
presented by a seller as the reason that one product or service is
different from and better than that of the competators. Before you
can begin to sell your product or service to your target customers,
you have to sell yourself for it. This is especially important when
your product or service is similar to those around you.
USP would require careful analysis of other businesses ads and
marketing messages. If you analyze what they say or what they
sell, involving not just their product or service characteristics, you
can learn a great deal about how companies distinguish themselves
from competitors.
Heres how to discover your USP and use it to increase your
sales and profit:
Use empathy: Put yourself in the shoes of your
customers.Always focus on the needs of the target customers
and forget falling in love with your own product or services.

DRAFT
Always remember, you are making this product or providing
for the target customers to eventually increase sales and
earn profit, and not just making this product or services for
yourself. An essential question is what could make them
come back again and again and ignore competition. Most
possible answers will be focused on the quality, availability,
convenience, cleanliness, reliability, and friendliness ot the
product or service.

Identify what motivates your customers. It is very important

for you to understand and to find out what drives and motivates
your customers to buy your product or service. Make some
efforts to find out, analyze, and utilize the information that
motivates the customers in their decision to purchase the
product or services.

Discover the actual and genuine reasons why customers

buy your product instead of a competitors. Information is
very important in decision making. A competitive entrepreneur

27
 always improve his or her products and services to provide
satisfaction and of course retention of customers. As your
business grows, you should always consider the process of
asking your customers important information and question
that you can use to improve your product and services.

In order to firm up your understanding of the topic previously

presented, you will be tasked to form a group and conduct an
interview with a successful entrepreneur or practitioner. You have
to document this interview and present this to the whole class for
reflection and appreciation.

Generating Ideas for Business

The process of developing or generating a business idea is not

a simple process. Some people just come to a bunch of business
ideas, but some really are without ideas. There are two problems
that arise; first is the excessivegeneration of ideas that can forever:
remain in the dreaming stage, and second is when they dont have
ideas and still want to become an entrepreneur.
The most optimal way is to have a systematic approach in
generating and selecting business idea that will be transformed into
real business. Here are some basic yet very important considerations
you may use to generate possible ideas for business:

30
1. Examine the existing goods and services. Are you satisfied
with the product? What do other people who use the product
say about it? How can it be improved? Are there many ways of
improving a product from the way it is made to the way it is packed
and sold? You can also improve the materials used in crafting
the product. In addition, you introduce new ways of using the
product, making it more useful and adaptable to the customers
many needs. When you are improving the product or enhancing
it, you are doing an innovation. You can also do an invention by
introducing an entirely new product to replace the old one.

Business ideas may also be generated by examining what

goods and services are sold outside by the community. Very
often, these products are sold in a form that can still be enhanced
or improved.
2. Examine the present and future needs. Look and listen to
what the customers, institution, and communities are missing
in terms of goods and services. Sometimes, these needs are
already obvious and felt at the moment. Other needs are not

DRAFT
that obvious because they can only be felt in the future, in the
event of certain developments in the community. For example, a
province will have its electrification facility in the next six months.
Only by that time will the entrepreneur could think of electrically-
powered or generated business such as photo copier, computer
service, digital printing, etc.
3. Examine how the needs are being satisfied. Needs for the
products and services are referred to as market demand. To
satisfy these needs is to supply the products and services that
meet the demands of the market. The term market refers to
whoever will use or buy the products or service, and these may be
people or institutions such as other businesses, establishments,
organizations, or government agencies.
There is a very good business opportunity when there is
absolutely no supply to a pressing market demand.
Businesses or industries in the locality also have needs
for goods and services. Their needs for raw materials,

31
 maintenance, and other services such as selling and
distribution are good sources of ideas for business.
4. Examine the available resources around you. Observe what
materials or skills are available in abundance in your area. A
business can be started out of available raw materials by selling
them in raw form and by processing and manufacturing them into
finished products. For example, scaffolding needs coco lumber
or goo lumber. This may be replaced by bamboo. Nails may be
replaced by rattan strings.
A group of people in your neighborhood may have some
special skills that can be harnessed for business. For example,
women in the Mountain Province possess loom weaving skills that
have been passed on from one generation to the next generation.
Some communities there set up weaving businesses to produce
blankets, as well as decorative items and various souvenir items
for sale to tourists and lowland communities.
Business ideas can come from your own skills. The work
and experience you may have in agricultural arts, industrial arts,

DRAFT
home economics, and ICT classes will provide you with business
opportunities to acquire the needed skills which will earn for you
extra income, should you decide to engage in income-generating
activities. With your skills, you may also tinker around with
various things in your spare time. Many products were invented
this way.

5. Read magazines, news articles, and other publications on

new products and techniques or advances in technology.
You can pick up new business ideas from Newsweek, Readers
Digest, Business Magazines, Go Negosyo, KAB materials,
Small-Industry Journal. The Internet serves as a library where
you may browse and surf on possible businesses. It will also
guide you on how to put the right product in the right place, at the
right price, at the right time.
Listing of possible businesses to set up in an area may also
be available from banks or local non-government organizations.

32
Key concepts of selecting a business idea

Once you have embarked on identifying the business

opportunities, you will eventually see that there are many possibilities
that are available for you. It is very unlikely that you will have enough
resources to pursue all of them at once. Which one will you choose?
You have to select the most promising one from among
hundreds and one ideas. It will be good to do this in stages. In the
first stage, you screen your ideas to narrow them down to about
five choices. In the next stage, trim down the five choices to two
options. In the final stage, choose between the two and decide
which business idea is worth pursuing.
In screening your ideas, examine each one in terms of the
following factors:
1. How much capital is needed to put up the business?
2. How big is the demand for the product? Do many people

DRAFT
need this product and will continue to need it for a long
time?
3. How is the demand met? Who are processing the products
to meet the need (competition or demand)? How much of
the need is now being met (supply)?
4. Do you have the background and experience needed to
run this particular business?
5. Will the business be legal, not going against any existing
or foreseeable government regulation?
6. Is the business in line with your interest and expertise?
Your answers to these questions will be helpful in screening
which ones from among your many ideas are worth examining
further and worth pursuing.

33
Branding
Branding is a marketing practice of creating name, symbol, or
design that identifies and differentiates a product or services from
other products and services. It is also a promise to your customers.
It tells them what they can expect from your product or services,
and it differentiate your offerings from other competitors. Your brand
is derived from who you are, who you want to be, and who people
perceive you to be.
Branding is one of the most important aspects of any business.
An effective brand strategy gives you a major edge in increasingly
competitive markets.
The features of a good product brand are as follows:
- Delivers the message clearly;
- Confirms your credibility;
- Connects your target prospects emotionally;
- Motivates the buyer; and
- Concretizes user loyalty.

DRAFTHere are some simple tips to publicize your brand:

Develop a tagline.Write a meaningful, unforgettable, and
easy to remember statement that captures the essence
of your brand.

Get a great logo.Create a logo suitable to your business

and consistent with your tagline and place it everywhere.

Write down your brand messaging. Select key

messages you want to communicate about your brand.

Be true to your brand.Deliver your brand promise.

Be consistent. Be reliable and consistent every time.

In generating a business idea, you should first identify what

type of environment is suited to your business idea. You should
34
analyze and scan the potential environment, study the marketing
practices and strategies of your competitors. Analyze the Strengths,
Weaknesses, Opportunities, and the Threats in your environment
to ensure that the products and services you are planning to offer
will be within the easy reach of your target market and consumers.
Bear in mind these simple rules for successful SWOT
analysis:

Be realistic about the strengths and weaknesses of your

business when conducting SWOT analysis.

SWOT analysis should distinguish between where your

business is today and where it could be in the future.

DRAFT
SWOT should always be specific. Avoid any grey areas.

Always apply SWOT in relation to your competitor i.e. better

than or worse than your competitor.

Keep your SWOT short and simple. Avoid complexity and

over analysis.

SWOT is subjective.

35
 Task 6: SWOT Analysis

Direction: In generating a business idea, environmental scanning

is very important. Utilize the SWOT analysis table below to list up all
your observations.

Materials and Tools for Installing Formwork
Components/Form Panels

Installing formwork components and form panels is one of

the most important tasks in rough carpentry works. Materials and

DRAFT
tools should be properly checked, selected, and prepared per job
requirements. Scaffold installation is also important in this task
because it is utilized when formwork installation is made.
Since trees are the source of lumber, you must be aware
that only fully matured trees are big trees that are ready to cut as
lumber for commercial purposes, subject to the laws, directives, and
other legal procedures implemented by the Government. This is
aligned with the Governments thrust in preserving the wholesome
environment and contribute in addressing the harmful effects of
global warming.
Because of the scarcity of lumber, it has become expensive,
and alternative materials are now used such as pre-fabricated steel
used in scaffoldings and staging.

Wood Defects

In the construction of formworks wood is the most important

material needed. You will be selecting the appropriate lumber for
every part of the forms. You also need to learn how to identify the
different defects of wood which may cause unnecessary failures in
the assembling process.

Bow
A curve along
the face of a
lumber that
usually runs
from end to end.
Cupping

DRAFT
Warping along
the face of a
board across

Checking
A crack in
the wood
structure of a
piece, running
lengthwise
usually caused
by rapid
seasoning.

54
Split
A longitudinal
separation of
the fibers which
extends to the
opposite face of
a piece of sawn
timber.

Crook
Warping along
the edge from
one end to the
other. This is
most common
in wood that
was cut from
the center of the

DRAFT
tree near the
pith.

Twist
Warping in
lumber where
the ends twist
in opposite
directions.

Wane
The presence of
bark or absence
of wood on
corners of a
piece of lumber.

55
Blue Stain
A discoloration
that penetrates
the wood fiber.
It can be any
color other than
the natural
color of the
piece in which
it is found. It is
classified as
light, medium,

57
 Properties of Wood

Physical Properties

Moisture content is the ratio of the mass of water contained

in the mass of the same sample of dry wood.

Shrinkage occurs when wood loses moisture below the fiber

saturation point.

Density of wood is determined by the amount of cell wall

substance and the volume of voids by the cell cavities (lumens)
of the fibers.

Permeability is influenced by the anatomy of the wood cells.

Mass properties of wood are conductivity, heat, and coefficient

of thermal expansion.

DRAFT
Electrical properties of wood are the dielectric constant and
the dielectric power factor alternating current.
The single most useful electrical property of plywood is
its resistivity, or inability to conduct electrical current. The
mechanism of electrical conduction depends upon the
presence of ions in the wood

Mechanical Properties

Elasticity of wood depends on grain orientation, moisture,
species, temperature, and rate of loading.

Strength is dependent upon rate of loading, species, moisture,

contents, orientation, temperature, size and location of natural
characteristics such as knots and specimen size.

Vibration damping and sound velocity are two primary

vibration phenomena of interest in structural application.

 INFORMATION SHEET 2.1
SCAFFOLD SAFETY RULES

Scaffold is an elevated temporary structure having a platform

used to support workers, equipment, and other materials.
Serious injury or death may result from improper assembly
or use of scaffold equipment. Assemblers and users must be
familiar with and must follow safe practice and observe the safety
rules written below. These safety rules cover generalized situations
only and should not be used to replace any other additional safety
and precautionary measures that may be necessary to cover the
many usual or unusual conditions encountered during installation
or dismantling.
The rules are not intended to conflict with, or supersede
the requirements of the OH&S Laws or any other government
regulations, codes, and rules; the user must refer to and comply

DRAFT
with all such specific provisions of law.
A. Follow safe practice of the safety rules and comply with
OH & S laws, and local rules, codes, and regulations pertaining to
scaffolding during any use of the equipment.
B. The potentially hazardous nature of scaffolding assembly
makes it important that all personnel assigned to this work be
instructed in these safety rules, safe practices and procedures,
and be under the supervision of an experienced person. Ensure
that these safety rules are posted and that all assemblers and
users of the scaffold are aware of and follow them.
C. Report any unsafe conditions to supervisors. Do not
work or allow persons to work on scaffolds when sick or suffering
from dizziness, unsteadiness, or any other physical symptom
which could affect their ability to work safely.

D. Inspect all equipment before use. Never use any

equipment which is damaged, defective, or deteriorated in any

71
way.
E. Inspect assembled scaffold frequently and be sure
that it is maintained in a safe condition; ensure that the scaffold
connection has not loosened and that components have not been
improperly released or removed.
F. Maintain all equipment in good condition. Never use
corroded or excessively rusted equipment; the strength of such
equipment is not known.
G. Consult your scaffolding supplier when in doubt. Never
take chances.
H. Always read these safety rules in conjunction with all
safety regulations.
I. Always place scaffolds on a ground, stable surface and
assure that it is adequate to support the intended scaffold loads.
Never place scaffolds on unstable surface where loose objects
could tip, break or become dislodged.
J. Lift and lower components carefully and safely; use tag

DRAFT
lines where appropriate to the handling method. Never allow
excessive quantities of components to be stockpiled on partially
complete scaffolds. Stock only sufficient components consistent
with the progress of the work. Lower dismantled components as
soon as possible. Never drop components deliberately.
K. The tying of the scaffold to the structure is of great
importance to the stability and safety of the scaffold. Assure that
the structure to which the scaffold is tied or anchored is capable of
safely supporting all loads imposed on the scaffold.
L. Free standing scaffolds other than wall scaffolds must
be restrained from tipping by guying or other means or otherwise
stabilized as appropriate, recognizing that stability is essential to
the safety of the scaffold.
M. Install guardrails, mid-rails, and toe-boards at all
openings, open sides, and ends of every work platform
.

72
 N. Never use ladders or makeshift devices on top of
scaffolds to increase the height. Never place or stand a plank on
guardrails.
O. Power lines near scaffolds are dangerous. Use extreme
caution and consult the electrical company to have the lines
de-energized and insulated to ensure safety. Never allow any
installation or use of scaffolds until this is completed.
P. When any cantilevers are used, such as brackets, etc,
proper care and precautions must be taken to prevent tipping of
the scaffold.

 INFORMATION SHEET 2.2
Identifying parts of a wooden scaffolding

Parts of a Portable Scaffolding:

Outrigger is a part of scaffold that holds the platforms.
Uprights or Posts are used to support the structure.
Platforms are raised floors used to step on by workers
while working.
Diagonal Braces are used to prevent lateral movements
of the scaffold.
Cleats are fixed to support outriggers.
Horizontal Support is a part that holds the lower portion
of the legs or the upright support of the scaffolding.

DRAFT

75
 Safety Rules in the Construction of Wooden Scaffolding

Use strong lumber for the scaffolding. Never use decayed
lumber or lumber with knots, wind shakes, and splinters
because they easily break.
Properly brace the uprights of the scaffolding to prevent
lateral movement.
Nail all the platforms to their supports. If the platforms are
not nailed, they may slip or tip off.
Place enough support for the platform.
Avoid long protruding platforms beyond the supports. If
they cant be avoided, place another support at the end.
Unsupported overhanging platforms may break or tip off
when stepped upon.
Properly secure the supports of the bracket and cantilever
scaffolds.

DRAFT
Hints in the Construction of Wooden Scaffolds

The construction and location of the different parts of
scaffolding should be well planned so that they will not affect
the proper placing of the building. A haphazard placing of
the different parts of scaffolding might make it necessary to
dismantle and reconstruct the scaffold. This is a waste of
time, effort, and money.
The platform should be at a convenient height so that the
workers on the platform do not have to stoop or stand on
their toes while doing the job.
The platforms should be at level, unless the particular job
requires a sloping platform.

Assembling of Metal Scaffolding
Procedure:
Step 1 Attach side brace B to two frames A
Pull L-shaped lock pin at each end of the side braces to a
disengaged position.
While holding L-shaped pin in disengaged position, place
U-channel on each end of side brace B around leg of
frame A at the desired platform height.
Release lock pin and be sure that pin fully engages into the
hole in frame A leg.

Step 2 Attach second brace B to two frames A. Repeat

instructions in Step 1.

WARNING:
Both side braces must be positioned at the same height

on the frames so that the platform will be at the proper level.

DRAFT
Be sure all 4 L-shaped lock pins are fully engaged in holes

of frames.
Be sure all 4 L-shaped lock pins are in the locked position.

Step 3 Install platform C on side braces B so that the platform

is fully seated within inner channel on top of side braces.

Step 4 Rotate the platform clips into the engaged position.

Step 5 Install 4 castors D into legs of frame A and pin with lock
pins E.

Step 6 Install 4 outriggers into the legs of bottom frame.

Step 7 While standing on the first platform, insert third frame A

into the top of the first mobile scaffold frame. Then insert
fourth frame A into the top of the first mobile scaffold frame.

103
Step 8 Attach second side brace B to two frames A, ensuring the
L-shaped lock pin is engaged and attached to the end of
the side brace.
Repeat on the other side.

Step 9 Install platform according to Steps 3 and 4.

Step 10 Install guardrail.

NOTE:
Recheck all side brace lock pins for full engagement
before accessing platform.

Recheck platform to make sure it is properly attached within

side brace channel, and the platform clips are fully
engaged before accessing. When accessing platform,
climb over the top of frame ladder.

DRAFT
Caution:

DO NOT SWING AROUND SIDE FRAMEs!

Disassembling of Metal Scaffolding

1. First, unclip or unlock the top scaffolding bars. Remember, you

are working in steps that are the reverse of assembly.
2. Unclip or pull off diagonal braces.
3. Pull down the platform. You may need assistance with this step
as the platform may be heavy.
4. Unlock the next set of vertical scaffolding. Continue to work
down the scaffolding until you reach the bottom.
5. Pull foot pads off the bottom of scaffolding.

104
 Tips and Warnings

Tie-out strings can be used to secure scaffolding, but should

not be used to brace diagonal bars.
In most cases, you will need assistance from another person
to help you with both assembly and disassembly.
Contact your local building or zoning department to see if
there are any special requirements after a certain height;
for instance, in California anything over 7 feet high requires
extra guardrails to be installed.
If the scaffolding will be of a substantial height, wear a
helmet and a harness for safety.

 INFORMATION SHEET 3.1
Leveling Instruments

Plumb level and spirit level is used both for guiding and

testing the work according to a vertical or horizontal position.

Hose level is one of the best and most accurate tools for

guiding work and in establishing a horizontal level.

Plumb bob is a tool with weight and string, used to check

the vertical alignment of structures.

Steps in using the plumb level and spirit level

For horizontal levelness, hold the tool up to the desired level.

See to it that the vacant space in the liquid which looks like a

DRAFT
bubble is centered.

Then mark a line on the leveled surface.

114
 For vertical levelness, position the tool vertically on the
desired portion.

Repeat step 2, then mark a straight line.

Steps in using the plumb bob

Fix a lever where you can tie the string of the plumb bob.
Let the weight stretch the string until it is around 5 mm above

DRAFT
the ground.
Wait until the weight stand still.
Then mark the exact direction of the point of the weight.
Mark the line of the string aligned to the exact location of the
point.

115
 Make sure that the form is parallel to the string of the plumb
bob.

Steps in using the level hose

Stretch the hose, then put water. If possible, use colored
water to make it easier to see.
Examine the whole length of the hose to make sure that no
bubbles (vacant spaces) exist. If bubbles exist, remove the
water then put water once more.
Allow the water level to settle, then, mark one side of the
structure, and position one end of the hose with water on this
side.

DRAFT
Place the other end of the hose on the other side and watch
until the liquid holds.
Then mark this side, and mark clearly.
In case of doubt about the levelness, repeat the procedure.

116
 STRESS ON MATERIALS

Flexibility is the ability of a material to be bent repeatedly

without damage or injury.

DRAFT
Elasticity is the ability of an object to return quickly to

its original shape and size after being bent, stretched, or
squashed.

117
 Shear Stress is the angular deformation of an object, taken to

be the sideways displacement of two adjacent planes divided
by the distance between them.

DRAFT
Axial Stress is a twisting direction which is either tightening or

loosening.
