Study Notes
Foundation Types
- Deep foundations are used for poor soil conditions.
- Spread footings, slab on grade, and strip foundations are typically used for stable soil conditions.
Concrete Mixtures
- Concrete for mass concrete works has a proportion of 1:2.5:5 (cement: sand: gravel).
- Components of a concrete mixture are: cement, sand, gravel, and water.
Structural Elements
- Retaining walls resist lateral forces from the soil.
Concrete Properties
- Fresh concrete consistency is measured using a slump test.
Splice Connections
- Splice connections join structural elements for load continuity.
Building Components
- Substructure supports the superstructure of a building.
- Superstructure is the visible part of a building that includes walls, floors, and roof.
Concrete Proportioning
- Concrete proportioning for suspended slabs, beams, columns, arches, stairs, and walls of 100mm (4") thickness is typically 1:2:4 (cement: sand: gravel).
Water-Cement Ratio
- The average water-cement ratio is approximately 5.5 gallons of water per bag of cement.
Formworks
- Formworks shape and support fresh concrete.
- Snap ties, spreaders, yokes, and she bolts are used to keep forms stable under the pressure of wet concrete.
Construction Drawings
- Construction working drawings provide necessary information for building construction.
Pre-construction Process
- The pre-construction process includes planning, procurement, and design, but not excavation.
Aggregate Types
- Coarse aggregates are larger than 6 mm in size.
Concrete Joist Construction
- Concrete joist construction is used for short-span residential floors.
Steel Floor Systems
- Lateral bracing in steel floor systems stabilizes beams and columns.
Concrete Floor Joints
- Control joints in concrete floors prevent random cracking.
Tile Types
- Porcelain tiles, being denser and less porous than ceramic tiles, are more durable for both indoor and outdoor use.
