Learn how to detail and place reinforcement in concrete slabs and columns for building design, based on structural mechanics, code requirements, and construction methods.

To the untrained eye, a reinforced concrete detailing drawing is just a mess of lines, tags, and schedules, and even to the trained eye it takes a great deal of concentration to fully understand the ...

Most slabs-on-ground are unreinforced or nominally reinforced for crack-width control. When positioned in the upper or top portion of the slab thickness, steel reinforcement limits the widths of ...

Paving the way for collaborative synergy and enhanced productivity Redcon recognised the need for a solution and decided to use Autodesk Revit, leading to a revolutionary change in how they approached ...

This approach differs from that typically used within hydrocodes and results in comparatively simple model construction and reduced computation costs. The program is used to model the response of ...

Splicing of Reinforcement Steel Bars Use mechanical splicing to avoid steel congestions if bar splicing is expected to cause congestions in concrete members. Welded connection is another means for ...

If the detailing company is quoting per drawing and is not responsible for the structural design, there is no direct incentive for them to keep the reinforcement quantity down.

Step 1: Check the Type of Slab Centre-to-centre distance of longer span, l y = 4850 mm Centre-to-centre distance of longer span, l x = 3150 mm = l y / l x = 1.54 < 2 Hence, the slab is designed as a ...

2.2 Eurocode 2 (EC2) (CEN, 2004) EC2 estimates punching shear load (V EC, p ) for slabs without shear reinforcement through Equation 5. In this equation, ρ l is the longitudinal reinforcement ratio ...
