REINFORCED CONCRETE DETAILING [35]

A 1.5m high octagon concrete column, with 200 mm sides, stands in the middle of a pile cap 1, 60 m
long x 0,960 m wide x 0, 5 m deep which rests on TWO, 200 mm Ø concrete piles, 100 mm from the
sides of the pile cap, and placed centrally along the width of the pile cap.The octagonal reinforced
concrete column supports a cantilevered reinforced concrete slab 1.5m long to the left hand side
from the center of the column, which form part of balcony. A half brick face brick wall 12 courses
above the top of slab is built 15mm from the edge of the balcony and finished off with a mortar
plinth. To the right side of the octagonal column, the balcony slab extends 1m from the center of
the column. The balcony slab is supported by an edge beam, which also supports an upward
reinforced concrete staircase with 5 steps, having 175mm rise, 250 treads and 150m waist. The
staircase and balcony is finished off with un-tinted granolithic screed 20mm thick. Assume a 50mm
cover to all reinforcements for structural units below ground level and 30mm for all units above
ground level. Show at least 500 mm of the column and piles.

Draw to scale 1: 10, a vertical sectional front view through the piles, pile cap, octagon column, balcony,
and staircase to show the reinforcement and constructional details. The drawing must be fully labelled
and correctly steel coded to SANS standards. Use the following steel reinforcement specified:

4.1 Concrete piles

Use SIX high yield, 20 mm main steel reinforcement with 10 mm mild steel helical binders at
200 mm c/c in the.
4.2 Pile cap
Use 14Y20 - 75 tensile reinforcement, 10Y16 - 200 secondary reinforcement, and 7Y10 -150
compression reinforcement with 14R20-75 binders.
4.3 Octagon column
use eight high yield steel, twenty mm (8Y20) main steel reinforcement AND starter bars with
8 mm mild steel helical binders at 200 mm c/c. Use a 75mm kicker
4.4 Balcony Slab
200mm thick with 6Y16 tension reinforcement per meter and 6R10 compression bars and R10-
150 binders.
4.5 Edge beam
300 mm × 400 mm deep with 3Y20 mm tensile rods. The centre tensile bar cracked to the top
to serve as shear reinforcing with 2R16 compression bars and 10 mm binders at 150 mm c/c
4.6 Staircase
Y16-100 main bars and Y10-200 secondary bars
4.7 Figure 4 shows a structural element consisting of a longitudinal sectional view and cross section
of a rectangular reinforced concrete beam supporting a 350mm x 350mm square at midspan.
Complete a bar bending schedule for two structural unit. The cover to all reinforcement 25mm.
the length of the right angled bend is 100mm
