Hi, I have seen that footing in a structural plan. When I came across such I usually combined the footing to create a bigger square or rectangle footing which is much easier to detail. However this engineer combined it in a L-shaped footing. I will like to know whether building codes allow...

Hi, Here is the output for the beam in etabs I have number of problem with this detaliing. First is that here we do not have barsize 14 and I have go to Define>Section Properties>Defin Baesize which list all the bars but no option is given to delete a particular bar size. Also I want the...

Thanks for your input. Where can I find such structural details?

Hi, I need some lights regarding part of the table in BS8666-2005 explaining length of bends or anchorage in bars. I am using this instruction to create a 135 degree hook which has better anchorage than a 90 degree hook. On the 3 other corners, I have already draw the links as per...

Hi Jayrod12, Here is the 2 design compared: https://ibb.co/g7NG2PC

No in typical detail, the main bars are made up of R6 mild steel and the main bars are made of T10 main bars. In Chudley's book, it is just the contrary, the longitudinal bars are actually the distribution bars whereas the shortest bars along the width of the strip footing are the main bars.

Hi, This is typical strip footing drawing used here. In Chudley's Contruction Technology, it is the reverse which is true and I believe he is right as B1 bars should span along the shortest distance. Actual Typical Drawings per Structural Engineers and Actual Practice Roy Chudley's...

Hi Tommy385, I have updated the detail as follows: Also there was an error on the length of the top bars which should be effective span/3. https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=e1e4bb75-edbf-4d01-bf8c-c1d5f9b2d09a&file=RND_000-001c_Forum_Proposition.jpg

Thanks KootK, Here is a reworking of your detail with a 100 mm. drop next to a beam. Is this ok? Please feel free to correct. In my case, the slabs are simply supported as beam and slab are not cast in one operation but separately. Also would you please give me some books or code references...

Hi MIStructE_IRE, I know that 150 mm x 150 mm is out of norm with official code we are supposed to follow but most houses here is made of this size of column and sometimes we do have span exceeding 4.5 m and even G+2 house on such skinny support. This is a basic issue and I don't think we need...

Hi, I am asking for first floor or any other suspended floors that are supported on RC Beams and not Slab-on-Grade or oversite type of slab. Thanks for the email note.

Hi. Here is a sample foundation and architectural layouts. I believe there are more columns than needed. However those are skinny 150x150 columns reinforced with 4T12 (+R6 links at 125mm). Please advise where I can remove columns. I believe a problem that may arise with a grid positioning...

Hi, This is a personal research for use in issuing plans to my clients (regular residential home plans). Thanks.

Hi, I am looking for any advice re. detailing of sunken slab i.e here a terrace that is 100mm. lower than the remaining slab at First Floor Level. Any documentations or examples of Two way or One Way Solid RC Slab Detailing with sunken slab, holes or pitch roof design in CAD or PDF format...

Hi, A question of positioning Columns. Should it be at all wall intersection or should it follow a more rigorous grid line pattern with more or less same X and Y spacing between them? Thanks.

Hi all, I am looking for information regarding span/effective depth ratio for 2 way solid slab. I have a garage with 2 nos. slab panels each 6m x 4m (Area of Garage 6mx8m). I want to know the followng: 1. Should be slab be designed as a continuous slab for support condition hence having a...

Hi, Blocks regularly used here is Concrete Cellular Block of dimensions 450 wide x 200 high x depth of 100, 150 or 200 mm with 2 wall thickness namely 25 mm and 32 mm. The 450x200x150 with wall thickness of 25 have a maximum weight of 17.5 kg and is the most widely used in Residential Building...

Hi. I am looking for Standards and Guidelines on External Wall Thickness and Wall Ties Specification of Cellular Blocks for Residential Building. Thanks. Nicolas.

HI I am looking for notes on how to use PROKON to analyse wind load on Aluminium Window. Also looking for a steps by steps tutorials on PROKON. Many available in non-english format on youtube.com Thanks. Nicolas

Hi all, I have 3 questions regarding Column Link/Binder/Lateral Ties design (Here applicable code is BS8110). 1. What is the basis for selecting a single restraining link or an enclosed link for intermediate bars in a column when clear distance between those bars are > 150 mm? 2. Given...
