WHO IS AN ENGINEER?

According to USA President Herbert Hoover, who was an

engineer before he became a politician, said:The great liability of the engineer compared to men of otherprofessionsis that his works are out in the open where allcan see them.

His acts ..step by step are in hard substances.

He cannot bury his mistakes in the grave like the DOCTORS.

He cannot argue them into thin air..or blame the judge..likethe LAWYERS.

He cannot, like the ARCHITECT, cover his figures with treesand vines.

He cannot, like the politicians, screen his shortcomings byblaming his opponents.and hope the people will forget. The

ENGINEER simply cannot deny he did it.If his works do not workhe is damned.

A design engineers responsibility should includeassuring the structural safety of the design,details, checking shop drawing.

Detailing is as important as design since proper

detailing of engineering designs is an essential linkin the planning and engineering process as some ofthe most devasting collapses in history have beencaused by defective connections or DETAILING.There are many examples explained in the book"DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION FAILURES by Dov

Kaminetzky.Detailing is very important not only for the properexecution of the structures but for the safety of thestructures.

Detailing is necessary not only for the steel

structures but also for the RCC members as it is thetranslation of all the mathematical expressions andequations results.


4/47

For the RCC members for most commonly used for buildings wecan divide the detailing for

1. SLABS-WITH OR WITHOUT OPENINGS.(RECTANGULAR,CIRCULAR,NON-RECTANGULAR-PYRAMIDSLAB,TRIANGULAR ETC)

-BALCONY SLAB,LOFT SLAB,CORNER SLAB etc

2. BEAMS- WITH OR WITHOUT OPENIGS.(SHALLOW & DEEP BEAMS)

3. COLUMNS.(RECTANGULAR,L-SHAPE,T-SHAPE,CIRCULAR,OCTAGONAL,CROSS SHAPE etc)

4. FOUNDATIONS.

Detailing for gravity loads is different from the lateral loadsspecially for the SEISMIC FORCES.

Apart from the detailing for the above there is a differentdetailing required for the Rehabilitation and strengthening of

damaged structures.

We will now dwell on the DETAILING OF MEMBERS FOR THEGRAVITY AND SOME CODAL DETAILINGS AS PER IS CODE IS13920 AND IS 4326 AS REQUIRED FOR SEISMIC FORCES.

DOS & DONOTS FOR DETAILING

DOS-GENERAL

1. Prepare drawings properly & accurately if possible label each bar

and show its shape for clarity.

12

I dia@12c/c

Cross section of retaining wall which collapsed immediately after placing of soil

backfill because rather than 1-1/4 dia. were used. Error occurred because

Correct rebar dia. Was covered by a dimension line.

1- dia@12c/c


6/47

2. Prepare bar-bending schedule , if necessary.

3. Indicate proper cover-clear cover, nominal cover or

effective cover to reinforcement.4. Decide detailed location of opening/hole and supplyadequate details for reinforcements around theopenings.

5. Use commonly available size of bars and spirals.For a single structural member the number ofdifferent sizes of bars shall be kept minimum.

6. The grade of the steel shall be clearly stated in thedrawing.

7. Deformed bars need not have hooks at their

ends.

8. Show enlarged details at corners, intersections ofwalls, beams and column joint and at similarsituations.


7/47

9. Congestion of bars should be avoided at points where

members intersect and make certain that all rein. Can be

properly placed.

10. In the case of bundled bars, lapped splice of bundled barsshall be made by splicing one bar at a time; such

individual splices within the bundle shall be staggered.

11. Make sure that hooked and bent up bars can be placed

and have adequate concrete protection.


8/47

12. Indicate all expansion, construction and contraction joints

on plans and provide details for such joints.

13. The location of construction joints shall be at the point of

minimum shear approximately at mid or near the mid points.

It shall be formed vertically and not in a sloped manner.

DOS BEAMS & SLABS:

1. Where splices are provided in bars, they shall be , as far as

possible, away from the sections of maximum stresses and

shall be staggered.

2. Were the depth of beams exceeds 750mm in case of beamswithout torsion and 450mm with torsion provide face rein.

as per IS456-2000.

3. Deflection in slabs/beams may be reduced by providing

compression reinforcement.

4. Only closed stirrups shall be used for transverse rein. Formembers subjected to torsion and for members likely to be

subjected to reversal of stresses as in Seismic forces.


9/47

5. To accommodate bottom bars, it is good practice to make secondarybeams shallower than main beams, at least by 50mm.

Dos COLUMNS.

1. A reinforced column shall have at least six bars of longitudinal

reinforcement for using in transverse helical reinforcement.-forCIRCULAR sections.

2. A min four bars one at each corner of the column in the case ofrectangular sections.

3. Keep outer dimensions of column constant, as far as possible , forreuse of forms.

4. Preferably avoid use of 2 grades of vertical bars in the same element.DONOTS-GENERAL:

1. Reinforcement shall not extend across an expansion joint and thebreak between the sections shall be complete.

2. Flexural reinforcement preferably shall not be terminated in a tensionzone.


10/47

3. Bars larger than 36mm dia. Shall not be bundled.

4. Lap splices shall be not be used for bars larger than

36mm dia. Except where welded.

5. Where dowels are provided, their diameter shall notexceed the diameter of the column bars by more than

3mm.

6. Where bent up bars are provided, their contribution

towards shear resistance shall not be more than 50% of

the total shear to be resisted. USE OF SINGEL BENT UPBARS(CRANKED) ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE CASE

OF EARTHQUAKE RESISTANCE STRUCTURES.


11/47

DETAILING OF SLABS WITHOUT ANY CUT

OR OPENINGS.

The building plan DX-3 shows theslabs in different levels for the

purpose of eliminating the inflow of

rainwater into the room from the openterrace and also the sunken slab for

toilet in first floor.

The building plan DX-A3 is one inwhich the client asked the architect to

provide opening all round.Refer the 3d

13/47

Minimum and max.reinforcement % in beams, slabs and

columns as per codal provisions should be followed.

SLABS:

It is better to provide a max spacing of 200mm(8) for main

bars and 250mm(10) in order to control the crack width and

spacing.

A min. of 0.24% shall be used for the roof slabs since it is

subjected to higher temperature. Variations than the floor

slabs. This is required to take care of temp. differences.

It is advisable to not to use 6mm bars as main bars as this

size available in the local market is of inferior not only with

respect to size but also the quality since like TATA and SAILare not producing this size of bar.

BEAMS:

A min. of 0.2% is to be provided for the compression bars in

order to take care of the deflection.


14/47

The stirrups shall be min.size of 8mm

in the case of lateral load resistance .

The hooks shall be bent to 135degree .

CONCLUSION:

Before concluding I will show some more details drawnin autocad exported in wwf format

As there is no time to elaborately explaining ,the following topics are notcovered :

1. Flat slabs, Folded plates, shell structures-cylindrical shells, silos,

2. Staircases- helical staircase, central beam type, cantilever type etc.

3. Different types of foundations-raft, pile foundation, strap foundation etc.

4. Retaining wall structures,

5. Liquid retaining structures.

6. Deep beams.

7. Shear wall, walls.

Hope that I have enlighten some of the detailing technique for the mostcommonly encountered RCC members in buildings.

In the above statements if my senior colleagues and ACCE members

can find different method or any new detailing system it will be of immensehelp not only for me but to other young engineers who should learn in wrightways and not wrong lessons.
