Hello hokie66 and KootK (:
Thank you for your opinions and suggestions. As of now, I am designing it by using stiffener column (UC) column to support my AC platform. Though I am wondering, if it would be okay if I just do the platform without tying it back to the UC? I mean just let it...
Dear All,
I have a problem on how to connect the new rc ledge which is roughly 1350mm cantilever from the brickwall. The building is an existing structure. Usually in my design, for any building that have cantilever canopy or ledge, I will make sure it connects to my beam because I am afraid of...
Dear Spats.
Yup, instead of connecting it directly to column, I used the beams to support it. Thanks (:

Dear All,
So when I design the swimming pool wall, I need to take extra precaution at the horizontal loading at the corner and make sure the reinforcement is enough to tackle that. Noted.
Have you all ever encounter swimming pool design for the floor where they use beam and slab system? Yes...
Dear Trenno and KootK,
Please find attached the image for the parapet wall. For this project, there will be a beam under the parapet wall and yes, some of the area of the parapet wall will be supported by columns, but some will also be supported by the beams. The height of the parapet is...
Greeting All (again ^^)
What do you take into account when you design RC Parapet wall? and how exactly do you design it? Some of my friends told me the design is just like a design of deep beam. Will that be correct?
Thank you.

Greetings All,
I have an enquiry regarding the structural design of swimming pool.
What I usually found on the internet and some Architect's drawings, they design the swimming pool using flat slab and retaining wall. Am I correct? Will it be recommended to design the swimming pool as...
Hello All,
I have some queries for a structural design of a house. I have difficulties in connecting the beam-column-slab for this floor of the house. As shown in the attached picture, the columns are located at the lower level of the house. And I do not know how to connect the main beam to the...
thanks all! Yup, now I got it. Putting a hole within the the 1/3 of the span from support is a big no, thanks for reminding me of that.
and Archie264, a great link there, thanks for sharing. (:

Hi Edwin,
May I know what is the material of the canopy? Is it steel?
If it is, how is the connection of the canopy to the balcony slab? Is the balcony slab an existing structure?
Thanks.

Dear All,
I face a difficulty in doing the reinforcement details for the flat slab with opening. The opening that the Architect wants to put is for a scupper drain which have a width of 150 (on plan) and a depth of approximately 100mm (the drain is just to connect to the oil interceptor).
I...
