HOW TO CHOOSE A CONSULTANT FOR BUILDING YOUR HOUSE

Hello Everybody!

I am a Building Consultant, a Structural Engineer having more than five years experience in the construction field in Bhubaneswar, Odisha.

Date: 5 march 2020 morning time I was moving around my hometown LakhimpurKheri, Uttarpradesh.

Earning a degree in structural Engineering has been my goal since I was in middle school.I was always around construction sites and loved to observe all the activities at site since then.

That day I stopped my bike near a construction site of a residential building . I went there then I saw shocking wrong utilisation of resources in that construction, after enquiring with some local people and I got to know that it's a five story building project and a local contractor was doing that project.

There I felt that the construction of that residential building was not being done, as per proper design and estimate.

These are the following shortcomings.

(I) In that site the center to center distance between columns was very less and in some long spans columns were not used, in other words the column placement was done in a disastrous manner.

The collapse of a building could occur when structure is unstable due to inadequate numbers of columns used and at the same time providing more no. of columns can lead to drastic increase in cost, which the owner/local mason or contractor could not understand.

(ii) The contractor also used unnecessary brick work under the plinth beam.

Brickwork can be provided under plinth for the outer wall, for retaining the soil fill but it is not mandatory to provide brickwork under plinth beams everywhere.

(III) In Plinth beams all beams were provided throughout the columns, i.e. 6 bars of 16 mm diameter.

The rebars other than the hanger bars, i.e 2 at the top and 2 at the bottom can be provided as extra bars near the ends in case of top portion and at the center in case of bottom bars, there is no need to provide them all through.

If you want to know more about the concept of columns position you can see previous videos.

At last to overcome all these defects or losses you need to hire a qualified quality consultant rather than a local contractor having few years experience.

Qualification matters as well as Experience.

How to study the Reinforcement Drawings of beams which have been generated in TSD.

Tekla Structural Designer is advanced software used for Structural Analysis and Design of a Building. In Tekla, we can do the detailing of steel structures as well as RCC structures. We can create RCC buildings and we can insert the rebars in Tekla structures Designer software. We can also do the form works and structural drawing without the help of any other software. Let’s go step by step to learn how to study the Reinforcement Drawings of beams that have been generated in TSD. Step 1 As we can see, this building has been fully designed and analysed. Now, just right click on the beam then click on the report for the member and it will generate the report for the member and we will see this and after that, we can also check the file for the particular beam. Fig.1 Step 2 Now we have 3 numbers of sections, for each beam, it has been made and the respective cross-section is also given. Step 3 Now if we just go through the drawing, we can see that we have 2 ba...

How to Provide Reinforcement in multiple columns in Tekla Structures

Tekla Structures is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) software able to model structures that incorporate different kinds of building materials, including steel, concrete, timber and glass. However it is widely used for the detailing of structural drawing. In this blog, we are going to discuss how to provide reinforcement in multiple columns in Tekla Structures. So let's start the step by step procedure Step 1 : At first we must make sure that our model is correct and after that we will look for the column reinforcement application. Step 2 : Search result will give us lots of options which includes application of column (for both the RCC and steel). Step 3 : Now from there we have to select an app for RCC. column. Step 4 : We will go for Application no. 57 which is "Column automated reinforcement layout". Step 5 : Select and define the application according to our requirement. Now select all the columns by dragging the mouse from right...

STAAD Pro Vs Tekla Structural Designer .Which One Is Better ?

Tekla Structural Designer (TSD) is a simple, integrated design & analysis software that enables engineers to deliver safe, effective and rationalized design more quickly, regardless of structural material. Reinforcement drawings for the entire building or tonnes of steel for estimating and many more. So in the above image you can see the first image is created in Tekla Structural Designer (TSD) and in the second image the model has been created in Staad Pro . we can start the comparison with the grid lines. So for creating grid lines in staad we need to enter the coordinates from the beam column plan as shown in fig.1 and we need to insert it while viewing the beam column plan. Fig 1 We can create grid lines in Tekla Structural Designer directly and in addition you can also import the beam column plan as shadow as shown in fig 2 . Fig. 2 • Next step is adding members in staad pro so in addition we need to see the beam colu...
