Figure (1) shows a longitudinal section in a building, while Figure (2) shows the reinforcement of the
roof. The data of footings, semells, columns, beams and slab reinforcement are shown in subsequent
Figure & Tables. You are asked to:
1. Detail the reinforcement of the different structure elements.
2. Make workshop excel sheet for reinforcement of all elements of this building.
3. Calculate volume of concrete & ratio of reinforcement in each of building element (Footings,
semells…).
