Dear All,
I want to raise the Topic "Need of Detailing Awareness For Safe Structures", as I feel,  it is very very  important. Computer software is commonly used to provide design information, but without proper detailing & site awareness regarding detailing, design Strength can not be achieved.

Below given case  I have read  from Book:-


Failures in Concrete structures
By
Robin Whittle

Case of Failure of two way slab due to lack of awareness of Site Engineer toward Detailing:-
"A two-way spanning slab was designed in accordance with the design rules.One side was significantly longer than the other and this meant that the reinforcement provided for the short span was considerably greater than that for the long span.When the drawing arrived on site, the site engineer decided that the drawing contained a mistake and that the reinforcement in the long span should be the greater. He instructed the reinforcement layout to be swapped around and the slab was built that way. Later, when the full load was applied, the slab collapsed."



All of us has Design Footings, but how many has deeply observed reinforcement placing at site  is the question ?

Please Refer below two Figures & say which method of reinforcement  arrangement  is correct and why ?


Warm Regards,
B. V. Harsoda

Dear Er.Harsoda,

There is a PPT presentation by me on the DETAILING in the forum. Also many sketches and drawings and small HB etc are available under the EXPERTS FORUM.
If it is again started let the admin put it as a sticky heading so that all posting containing information will be at one place. Otherwise the postings will be scattered and many may post at different heading/places. This is happening for the STAADPRO  even though there is a STICKY topic many are posting under different heading and all the information goes as scattered ones.

T.RangaRajan.

Dear Sir,
  
You are right that you have been already  given good details but my desire is for more discussion of Detailing just like "Seismic Design " Topic. Your Suggestion for this topic as "STICKY" is also good & may be useful. I hope More response & cooperation from Admin. & all expert members of this forum.


Thanks & Regards,
B. V. Harsoda

Dear Er. T. RangaRajan Sir,

Attached figure is from your PPT. My question is different, it is not covered in your figure.This is for your kind information & further your expert  opinion please.

Warm Regards,

Dear Er. T. RangaRajan Sir,
Your PPT regarding Reinforcing detailing of R.C.C members and PPT by ATLANTA HOUSING LTD, House - 34, Road - 46, Gulshan-2,
Dhaka, Bangladesh, both are same.Nos of slides are also same i. e. 47 Nos. Only Name of Auther in front slide is different. Screen Shot of both are given for your kind information.



Warm Regards,
Er. B. V. Harsoda

Dear Er.Harsoda,  

Yes!

I know that some one from Bangaladesh has stolen this PPT and removed my name. I sent a mail but did not  get answer. You can find this PPT and other documents like pile cap, tips etc that are  in my name,are populated  in may web sites by removing my name.

Let some body use and get its benefit.

T.RangaRajan.

Dear Er.Harsoda

Figure 1 is correct since the bending moment in the longer direction is higher and the long bars are to be kept in the lower layer. In my early days, once or twice, I had noted errors as in Fig 2 in my sites. Since then I have added a "remarks" column in my footing schedule stating "long bars are in lower layer" or "NS bars are in lower layer" etc.

Once I came across a raft beam drawing detailed similar to the floor beams - with midspan reinforcement at the bottom and support reinforcement at top. The drawing was revised before execution.

Again, in my early days, there were a few instances of failure of relatively large sunshades. Each investigation revealed that the bars of the sunshades were kept at the bottom. Each of the site was supervised by a technically qualified engineer. But the bar benders had convinced the relatively inexperienced site engineers that the bars should be at bottom so as to "hold" the concrete in place. Since then I am showing a blown up section of the sunshades with the bars clearly shown at top. I also indicate in bold letters that "bars are to be provided at top" wherever necessary.

In one case a long sunshade collapsed. The building was of load-bearing masonry and the sunshade had been de-shuttered without construction of brick wall above.

In my early days, I once designed a 1.5m sunshade present on all four sides of a courtyard. The sunshade developed diagonal cracks at the bottom at each of the four corners. At the corners, the sunshade slab had spanned between the adjacent walls. There was no bottom reinforcement and slab had cracked. Fortunately since equilibrium conditions were satisfied, the sunshade did not collapse. I created a joint at the four corners and the sunshades are behaving well. A few years later I came across the German code on RCC and this code deals specifically with this case and indicates calculation for the bottom reinforcement in such cases.

I do hope, other SEFIans will come out with their experience and observations to make this topic useful to all.

S.P.Srinivasan

Dear Er.Harsoda,

This is happening in this forum. Since many engineers do not pay more attention on these aspect like DETAILING etc. The same situation is for the topic of CONSTRUCTION LOADS. Do not worry and discontinue if you had reason . Most of them want free downloads, the solution for their consultancy  etc as you can read  the postings.

Regarding the CANTILEVER problems at site,  it is good to provide 2 layers keeping the bigger size at Top layer which will help in many folds.i.e. it is good for lateral load(SEISMIC) condition and keep the deflection to certain extent. Provide min. 0.12% as for distribution bars as per code for the  BOTTOM layer. This way it avoids failure of sunshades. I am doing this in my projects.

From the postings of Er.SPS it is clear that designers ought to provide a clear, concise drawings with notes that should be followed at site. This way it will not have any ambiguity and safe guard the designer.

Hope you will get more response from others.

With warm rehards,
T.RangaRajan

Sir,
Similar cases generally happens in the sites.

If we provided detailed drawing as per design cantilever slab they will do as drawing but some time they will provide cantilever beam at edges for supporting the slab as their on decision, while asking they tells that it is for strengthening the slab.. is it give good or bad result?
