Functional House Plans for Different Types of Houses

Functional home plan is what people actually need of their homes. The organized space, spacious rooms, good organization of the area will provide comfort for all occupants. The architecture, outside design of the building, facade as well are very important for the complete image. Accordingly, the best mix of these two segments will give the […]

Forming BBS Of Staircase with Autocad Assistance

Forming BBS (Bar Bending Schedule) is a practical method for making a staircase using Autocad. On the other hand this is the most useful software used in civil engineering.  Stair Reinforcement Details are briefly described in the video bellow. This is highly recommended video for all interested to learn this. From here on you may […]

Waffle Slab Cross Section and it’s Reinforcement Details

Waffle slab is something connected with the ribbed floors. They are consisting of equally spaced ribs  usually supported directly with the columns. They are either one-way spanning systems (known as ribbed slab) or a two-way ribbed system (waffle slab). The reinforced concrete waffle slab (ribbed slab) cross section reinforcement detail comprises ribbing (beams) reinforcement, slab […]

Bending of Reinforcement Bars and the Minimum Bending Pin Diameter

The bending of reinforcement bars Minimum bending pin diameter for bars The minimum diameter Øm (mandrel diameter) to which a bar is bent, shall be such to avoid bending cracks to the bar and ensure the integrity of concrete inside the bent of the bar where large forces appear.  The smaller the mandrel diameter is, […]

Roof Types as Very Important Dilemma when Building a House

Roof is actually more important than people understand. It is more than just protector of the interior and the tenants pf the outside weather conditions. It gives the basic look of the house architecture and allows more space in some points. The roof is yet defining the overall look and style of a building construction. […]

Graphic Standards Everyone Should “Read” and Understand

  Having an architectural drawing in front of you means you should know something about “Graphic Standards Everyone Should “Read” and Understand”. Some symbols are obvious and everyone can understand what does it refer to: stairs, walls.. but, there are some symbols and other graphic elements we can’t understand what they mean. That’s why is […]

Different Types of Formwork found in the Construction Site

Formwork in the construction is very needed element which gives the proper structure to the needed element. Construction workers are making the structures excellent planned, developed and made by the help of ready made formwork. It can be made of different materials as wood and plastic, but also and from steel and other materials.   […]

Bending Moment Presented in a Video which Explain it Very Well

Bending moment is a category in the engineering meaning a subsitute for a force. Actually, the bending moment is not only in the engineering, but also in many situations in life present. A bending moment by definition is the reaction induced in a structural element when an external force or moment is applied to the element […]

Reinforcement Illustrations made in 3D Showing Best Angles

Reinforcement illustrations we found and share with you today are the best on the net made in 3D. Despite the different reinforcement tools appear today, we must acknowledge which computer software to use. Some forms are inefficient  in 3D and some seem straight out impossible. This is mostly due to the confession that a single […]

5 Steps Of Load Pathway For Concrete Structures

Load types on building: Loads that are implemented on a structural element can differ between numerous categories and figures. Loads can be of various types. It can be dead loads, containing both the self weight and covering material. It can be live loads similar to the human being load on a slab, wind loads which […]
