Structural/reinforcement detailing of a single storey residential building with retaining wall

Project Abstract

<p> </p><p>This is the presentation of an information on the structural reinforcement detailing of concrete members. Structural detailing is a branch of structural work that transposes the idea or works of a structural engineer into working drawing or easy utilization in the building construction works. Working drawing are produced an engineer for easy use by the contractors.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The processes detailing put in place was in conjunction with the recommendations of the concrete society and the institute of structural engineers. In building construction a good interaction and contractors are required. The methods, scates, symbols and notations must be standardized and understood by all parties in a project to minimize risks and communication hindrances.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; A structure is broken down into identifiable elements for detailing work like bean column, slab etc which enables the different detailing aspects to be fully addressed and understood.</p><p><strong>STRUCTURAL SYMBOLS</strong></p><p>The abbreviations recommended for structural detailing work are a s follows.</p><p>a. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; R.C. &nbsp; &nbsp; – &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Reinforced concrete</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; drg &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; – &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; drawing</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; hor &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; – &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; horizontal</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; vest &nbsp; &nbsp; – &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; vertical</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; dia &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; – &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; diameter</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; fdn &nbsp; &nbsp; – &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; fordation</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; conc &nbsp; &nbsp; – &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; concrete</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; col &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; – &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; column</p><p>b. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Type of reinforcement</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; R &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; – &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Mild steel bars</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Y &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; – &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; High yield bars</p><p>c. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Comments relating to reinforcement</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; C &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; – &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; center line</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; B &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; – &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Bottom</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; T &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; – &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Top</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; c/c &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; – &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; center to centre</p> <br><p></p>

Project Overview

<p> </p><p><strong>INTRODUCTION</strong></p><p>Before a designer can relate his requirements dearly in a construction industry, a drawing is to be prepared; this is because the drawing serves as a general means of communication. Thus, the drawing is adopted mostly, then other means of communication in engineering sectors.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; A structured engineer mostly engages himself in designs on construction of structures. Like roads, bridges, railways, dams, buildings and other public works.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The structural engineer makes initial designs, which are usually free – hand sketches of the work. These sketches are used to make clear and neat working drawing, which will b e used by the builder of contractor after approval for construction by the authorities involved.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The contributions of a detailer is highly significant to the construction process, for a well detailed drawing is a good medium of reducing the risks of building collapses and to avoid delays arising from doubts and too frequent clarifications.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; This project shows the methods and techniques needed for detailing of reinforced concrete structures.</p> <br><p></p>
