COLUMN DESIGN

In this stage of works the location of columns are determined practically in field. It
is done by laying rope according to grids shown in the drawing and then mark the
location of columns related to rope.

In drawing, column locations are shown related to grid-line with dimension.

Practically, in field, ropes are our grid-line. So we place columns related to ropeline
by
measuring
dimension
shown
in
the
drawing.
After marking the column locations, we then start to place reinforcement as
instructed in the structural drawing.

This is normally described in the drawing like:

Column dimension
C1- 30 cm x 30 cm
4 var #12
e #6 @15 cm
That means column C1 will have 4 numbers of 12 diameter bar as vertical bar and
as stirrup number #6 to each 15 cm.

There is a sheet in structural drawing which contains structural notes from

structural designer. In that drawing sheet, you'll find suggested lap length for
column's steel of different diameter bar and other important notes. You should read
those before column reinforcement work.

It is important that the reinforcement is castles and dalas joined together, to truly be
of confinement. This is accomplished by anchoring properly the rods of an element
within another.
The maximum spacing shall be three castles meters.
rods, go to the bottom of the dala, tied, making a legs to that better hold, in the
case of foundation Specifically go to the bottom of the contratrabe, nalso anchored
folds for making legs.

In construction, the floor height is normally maintained 3 meters, less the extent of
the beam and the slab, to know the height of the column, and this is falsework
timber that is resistant to stress the concrete after him emptied.

The castle will be armed, before lifting the wall: First stop 30-30 cm steel castles,
above the wall, this in order to tie the steel slab or closures.
After the formwork is placed: Place the planks to both sides of the wall, and finally
put yokes.
Wood for formwork going varnished with burnt oil or diesel, the falsework is fixed to
the wall with wire annealing moorings, which are passed from one side to the other
of the wall through small holes made in the joints.

Steel wetted before casting to clean the dust.

You have to chop the mixture while it is brewing, with a rod and striking the
formwork that it is not porous concrete.
