Noes on Concrete Slabs
1. All sla reinforcement shall be 0.02 m, clear from the bottom
and 0.015 clear from the top of slab, unless ethenviso indicated
or stated in code
2. I wo-nay slabs, the bars along the shot span shal be at the
lower layer for bottom bars, and at upper tayer for lp bars so
that the bars along the shorer span sll have the bigger
lective depth, unless otherwise dozled or noted due lo the
contiuly of bars from adjoining spans.
5. In two-8abs, the top reinforcement vera common support
two adjacent spans are diferent, the smaller spacing shall be
followed at that common support
4. Slab reinforcement shall rest on the reinforcement of the
supporting beams,
5. Bas shall be spiced only wie indicated on deals. Sight
continuous bars in slabs may be spliced (lapped or welded) at
supports fr bottom bars and at midspan for top bars,Noles on Concrete Walls
1. All walls to be reinforced according to the schedule provided
in the Working crawing shall be observed unless otherwise
specified or indicated on drawings.
2. Reinforcing bars shall be 0.03 m. clear from the face of the
Wall except in 0.10 m wall where they shall be al the center,
unless otherwise detailed.

Construction, constructed partly or wholly bolow the surface of
the ground, designed to support and anchor the
Suporsiructure above and transmit its load dlecty to the
earth; thal part of the sinicture that supports the weight ofthe
structure and transmits the load to underlying sol or rock,
Foundation Engineering applies the inowiedge of
Mechanics, rock mechanics, geology and’ structural
engineering to the design and consiuctin of foundation for
buildings and other structures.
Shallow Foundation
‘A foundation system type whichis employed when stable soil
of adequate bearing capacity occurs relatively near to the
round surface, they are placed directly below the lowest pat
ofthe sub-stricture and trans bildng loads directly to the
‘supporting soil by vertical pressure.

a foundation is unstable fo transfer building loads to a more
appropriate bearing stratum of rock or dense sand and gravel
well below the superstructure.
