Abstract

Results of different use patterns of Eucalyptus poles as column in very ordinary condition subjected to alternate rains and sun rays and frequent growth of debris and vegetation on the adjacent area of construction have been presented. Poles seasoned under shade developed surface cracks before use. Hot bitumen was applied on the lower portion by brushing only. Inner part remained untreated. Deeper cracks developed on the poles due to alternate effects of wetting and drying. Results of providing c.c. layer around the lower part including the embedded portion of columns and installation of some new poles over the raised round dwarf c.c. pillars have also been discussed in this paper.
