    Screed On Roof

    HI I will like to know more on screed on roof which is usually set to 50mm. thick.

    Strip Footing

    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.

    Strip Footing

    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...

    Sunken Slab Detailing

    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...

    Positioning RC Column

    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...
