SITE VISIT DURING PILE FOUNDATION CONSTRUCTION WORK

Hello Friends!

It was a summer day, when team Civil Center visited a construction site. Climate was awful that day. It was looking like it was going to rain at that time or at night.

Location-Sai Paradise, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India

Finding this kind of climate in the summer season over construction sites is a blessing for those who are working all day.

Let's discuss what was going on the site that day.

The building construction work was ongoing there, some piles were already completed and also some were ongoing. We could see completion of a piling work consisting of two piles and reinforcement binding for pile cap work. At some places the formwork for pile cap was being done, as you know before going to pile cap work we do formwork first.

In this area the water table is high as compared to other areas in Bhubaneswar.Most of the time the land is full of water which has resulted in the low soil bearing capacity of that area, which is the main reason behind choosing to do piling work there.

At the site location we found in general, black cotton soil up-to 2-3 meters and the Bearing Capacity of black cotton soil is 150 kilo Newton per meter square, after 2-3 meter we can find rock strata. So up-to rock strata the piling work is done. So piling work is needed in areas where underlying soil is weak, in areas where settlement issues are common due to soil liquefaction or water table issues. So in those cases pile foundation is a better choice.

At the site of one of our completed Duplex (G+1) Building Project in Sai Paradise, Bhubaneswar was also visible which looks as beautiful as the 3D exterior view which we had made and also uploaded in social media. That's all for today, will meet you with another story soon.

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 bars of 16mm at the top an

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 to left. It will select

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 column plan again and again so that we can place
