Study Notes
Slab Types
- One way slab, two way slab, flat plate, and flat slab are types of slab constructions.
- Wafer slab is another type of slab construction.
Concrete Properties
- Concrete is a versatile material that can change from liquid to solid form.
- Concrete hardens due to chemical reactions.
Beam and Slab
- In a cantilever beam, more reinforcement bars are installed at the top (A. Top Bars) where the shearing of the beam occurs.
Steel Reinforcements
- Steel reinforcements have different grades based on tension:
- Grade 40 – 40,000 psi
- Grade 60 – 60,000 psi
Advance Slab Types
- Advance construction methods include:
- Lift slab
- Slip form (vertical and horizontal)
- Flying form
Spanstress Floor System
- The Spanstress floor system is a type of floor construction.
Building Technology
- Building technology involves the study of construction methods and materials.
