According to USA President Herbert Hoover, who was an engineer before he became a politician, said: The great liability of the engineer …compared to men of other professions……is that his works are out in the open where all can see them. th em. His acts …..step by step …are in hard substances. e canno ury s m s a es n e grave e e DOCTORS. He cannot argue them into thin air…..or blame the judge…..like the LAWYERS. He cannot, like the ARCHITECT, cover his figures with trees and vines. He cannot, like the politicians, screen his shortcomings by blaming his opponents….and hope the people will forget. The ENGINEER simply cannot deny he did it. If his works do not work……he is damned.

A design engineer’s responsibility should include assuring the structural safety of the design, details,, checking shop drawing. details Detailing is as important as design since proper detailing of engineering designs is an essential link in the planning and engineering process as some of the most dev devasting asting collapse collapsess in history have been caused by defective connections or DETAILING. DET AILING. There are many examples explained " FAILURES by Dov Dov Kam Kaminetzky inetzky.. Detailing is very important not only for the proper execution of the structures but for the safety of the structures. Detailing is necessary not only o nly for the steel structures but also for the RCC members as it is the translation of all the mathematical expression’ss and equation’s results. expression’

For the RCC members for most commonly used for buildings we can divide the detailing for SLABS-WITH OR WITHOUT OPENINGS.(RECTANGULAR,CIRCULAR,NO OPENINGS.(RECTANGULAR,CIRCULAR,NONNRECTANGULAR-PYRAMID SLAB,TRIANGULAR ETC) -BALCONY SLAB,LOFT SLAB,CORNER SLAB etc BEAMS- WITH OR WITHOUT OPENIGS.(SHALLOW OPENIGS.(SHALLOW & DEEP BEAMS) BEAMS) COLUMNS.(RECTANGULAR,L-SHAPE,T-SHAPE, CIRCULAR,OCTAGONAL,CROSS SHAPE etc)

Detailing for gravity loads is different from the lateral loads specially for the SEISMIC FORCES. Apart from the detailing for the above there is a different detailing required for the Rehabilitation and strengthening st rengthening of damaged structures. We will now dwell on the DETAILING OF MEMBERS FOR THE GRAVITY AND SOME CODAL DETAILINGS AS PER IS CODE IS 13920 AND IS 4326 AS REQUIRED FOR SEISMIC FORCES .

DO’S-GENERAL Prepare drawings properly & accurately if possible label each bar and show its shape for clarity. 12”
I ¼”dia@12”c/c
1- ¼”dia@12”c/c
Cross section of retaining wall which collapsed immediately after placing of soil backfill because ¼” rather than 1-1/4” dia. were used. Error occurred because Correct rebar dia. Was covered by a dimension line.

Prepare bar-bending schedule , if necessary. Indicate proper cover-clear cover, nominal cover or effective cover to reinforcement. Decide detailed location of opening/hole and supply adequate details for reinforcements around the openings. Use commonly available size of bars and spirals. For a single structural member the number of . The grade of the steel shall be clearly stated in the drawing. Deformed bars need not have hooks at their ends. Show enlarged details at corners, intersections of walls, beams and column joint and at similar situations.
9.
Congestion of bars should be avoided at points where members intersect and make certain that all rein. Can be properly placed. 10. In the case of bundled bars, lapped splice of bundled bars shall be made by splicing one bar at a time; such individual splices within the bundle shall be staggered. 11. Make sure that hooked and bent up bars can be placed and have adequate concrete protection.
Indicate all expansion, construction and contraction joints on plans and provide details for such joints. The location of construction joints shall be at the point of 13. minimum shear approximately at mid or near the mid points. It shall be formed vertically and not in a sloped manner. DO’S – BEAMS & SLABS: Where splices are provided in bars, they shall be , as far as 1. possible, away from the sections of maximum stresses and shall be staggered. Were the depth of beams exceeds 750mm in case of beams 2. without torsion and 450mm with torsion provide face rein. as per IS456-2000. Deflection in slabs/beams may be reduced by providing 3. compression reinforcement. Only closed stirrups shall be used for transverse rein. For 4. members subjected to torsion and for members likely to be subjected to reversal of stresses as in Seismic forces. 12.

accommodate bottom bars, it is good practice to make secondary beams shallower than main beams, at least by 50mm. Do’s –COLUMNS. A reinforced column shall have at least six bars of longitudinal reinforcement for using in transverse helical reinforcement.-for CIRCULAR sections. A min four bars one at each corner of the column in the case of rectangular sections. Kee outer dimensions of column constant as far as possible , for reuse of forms. Preferably avoid use of 2 grades of vertical bars in the same element. DONOT’S-GENERAL: Reinforcement shall not extend across an expansion joint and the break between the sections shall be complete. Flexural reinforcement preferably shall not be terminated in a tension zone.

Bars larger than 36mm dia. Shall not be bundled. Lap splices shall be not be used for bars larger than 36mm dia. Except where welded. Where dowels are provided, their diameter shall not exceed the diameter of the column bars by more than 3mm. Where bent up bars are provided, their contribution towards shear resistance shall not be more than 50% of the total shear to be resisted. USE OF SINGEL BENT UP OF EARTHQUAKE RESISTANCE STRUCTURES.
The building plan DX-3 shows the slabs in different levels for the purpose of eliminating the inflow of rainwater into the room from the open terrace and also the sunken slab for toilet in first floor. The building plan DX-A3 is one in which the client asked the architect to provide opening all round.

Minimum and max.reinforcement % in beams, slabs and columns as per codal provisions should be followed. SLABS: It is better to provide a max spacing of 200mm(8”) for main bars and 250mm(10”) in order to control the crack width and spacing.
A min. of 0.24% shall be used for the roof slabs since it is sub ected to hi her tem erature. Variations than the floor slabs. This is required to take care of temp. differences. It is advisable to not to use 6mm bars as main bars as this size available in the local market is of inferior not only with respect to size but also the quality since like TATA and SAIL are not producing this size of bar. BEAMS: A min. of 0.2% is to be provided for the compression bars in order to take care of the deflection.
The stirrups shall be min.size of 8mm in the case of lateral load resistance . The hooks shall be bent to 135 degree .

CONCLUSION: Before concluding I will show some more details drawn in autocad exported in wwf format As there is no time to elaborately explaining ,the following topics are not covered : Flat slabs, Folded plates, shell structures-cylindrical shells, silos, Staircases- helical staircase, central beam type, cantilever type etc. Different types of foundations-raft, pile foundation, strap foundation etc. Retaining wall structures, Liquid retaining structures. . Shear wall, walls. Hope that I have enlighten some of the detailing technique for the most commonly encountered RCC members in buildings. In the above statements if my senior colleagues and ACCE members can find different method or any new detailing system it will be of immense help not only for me but to other young engineers who should learn in wright ways and not wrong lessons.
