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 […]
This construction video tutorial will train you with detailed processes for designing a single square column footing. In this video, the proper solution is given to the following problem :- Design a single column footing on the basis of the following criteria :- 1) Column = 14” x 14” 2) Steel grade= fy=60 Ksi 3) […]
Measure tricks are always welcomed because we do not always have the necessary measurement tools available. Generally, we need to take the measurements of different objects on daily basis. We can not always have the measuring tools, such as tape measure, ruler, or protractor, with us. For that purpose, we will give you tricks for […]
The strength of concrete is impacted by various factors. The details are given below :- Concrete porosity: Air and water are the useful substances to fill up voids in concrete. Air voids belong to pores in concrete. When concrete is blended it contains air trapped in the mix. The vibrators are used to clear out […]
This is another informative video presented by the Learning Technology. One will be familiar with the detailed process for estimating the concrete volume quantity of staircase. The process is very complicated to find out the concrete volume for a staircase. But it can be done easily if you use AutoCAD. Here the staircase has two […]
Collar tie roof is similar to the couple close roof. A collar tie is a horizontal member between two rafters and is very common in domestic roof construction. Often collar ties are structural members but they may be used simply to frame a ceiling. In collar tie roof, the horizontal tie is raised up from the feet of the […]
