BEAM DESIGN 1.DATA L=3000mm Dead load=6KN/m Live Load=8KN/m Finished load=0.75KN/m Wall Support=230Mm Concrete grade=M20, Steel grade=fe415 2.EFFECTIVE SPAN OF BEAM: Effective Span =c/c of support = 3230 mm 3.SIZE OF BEAM: Effective depth=Span/12 =269.16mm , Say 270mm Breadth=1/2d =135mm Clear cover=25mm,Use 16 mm ø D=303 mm, Say 310 mm D=310mm d = 277mm, Say 280mm […]
This is another useful presentation from L & T – Learning Technology. In this construction video, he will teach you how to calculate land area at site. The Solution is Heron’s Formula: If there is a triangle having three sides (a, b and c), and if you know the measurement of the three sides, then […]
Civil site engineers should know the following tips and tricks. Either memorize them or have a list readily available. Minimum thickness of slab is 125mm. Absorption of water should not be over 15 percent. Lapping is unaccepted for the bars that have a diameter of more than 36mm. Longitudinal reinforcement should be not under 0.8% […]
Super Structure Building Construction All exposed corners of columns and beams shall have straight edges and shall be champhered if specified in architectural drawings. Concreting of columns , beams, facias, and thin sections of concrete members shall be carried out using approved plasticiser as per manufacturers specifications. Concrete pouring , testing, removal of formwork and […]
In today’s tutorial section you will master yourself of the process on how to calculate cutting length of stirrup. Well, before proceeding towards the tutorial we should have the basic understanding about the stirrup. Generally the requirement of stirrup lies at areas of high shear such as bearing points and below large point loads. Increasing […]
Standard Room Sizes The size of a room is determined by the function of the room and by the furnishings that go into the room. The list of typical room sizes shown below should be used ONLY as a guide for general planning purposes and to determine overall square footage of a proposed plan. FOYER […]
This is another nice presentation from Sami Ullah, the renowned civil engineer. In this construction video tutorial, he teaches us how to determine the height of any building on the basis of angle and the length of the edges. Here, base length is taken as 2000 feet and the angle 30 degree. Now, it is […]
This construction video tutorial to learn the detailed process how to make bar bending schedule (BBS) of column. Details process the cutting length of stirrups below: a = 600-(2×44) = 512mm b = 300-(2×44) = 212mm Cutting length = (2xa)+(2xb)+(2x10xd)-(5x2xd) – d= dia of strips = 8mm = (2×512)+(2×212)+(2x10x8)-(5x2x8) = 1528 mm or 1.528 mm […]
For a site engineer, it is essential to work out the cutting length of bars based on the slab dimensions and provided instructions to the bar benders. If the construction work is intended for the small area, the reinforcement detailing can be transferred to the bar benders. They will deal with the cutting length. But […]
Reinforced cement concrete, which is the acronym for R.C.C, built with steel bar(reinforcement) and concrete mainly used to bear tansile & compressive stress in building material like column, beam, slab and so forth. Concrete has some pros and cons. Concrete’s good quality is to resist compression but on the contrary it is very weak in […]
