Prof Awad S. Hanna
Shallow Foundation Isolated Footing Strap Footing Combined Footing Raft Foundation Prof Awad S. Hanna Continuous Wall Footing
Deep Foundation Caissons Piles Prof Awad S. Hanna
Columns C Shapes ^Square - Rectangle - Circular ^Others C Reinforcement ^Ordinary - Spiral Prof Awad S. Hanna
Slabs and Beams: One-Way slabs One-Way Slab, Beam, and Girder One-Way Slab, Supported by Beams or Walls One-Way Joist Slab Prof Awad S. Hanna
Slabs and Beams: Two-Way Slabs Flat Plate Waffle Slab Flat Slab Two-Way Slab Supported by Beams Prof Awad S. Hanna
Estimating Issues 1. Formwork is the largest cost item that represent 40% to 60% of concrete structure cost. Distribution of costs for cast-in-place concrete slab wall: Prof Awad S. Hanna
2. Waste allowance from 2% to 10% should be added for concrete and concrete formwork. Prof Awad S. Hanna
1. Center Line Method 30’ 10” 30’ Building size: 30’ x 40’ 0” 40’ 10” Calculations: 1. Length = 30’ 10” - 1’ 6” = 29’ 4” 2. Width = 40’ 10” - 1’ 6” = 39’ 4” 3. Perimeter = 29’ 4” + 39’ 4” +39’ 4” = 137” 4” 4. Volume of concrete = 137. 33’ x 1. 5’ Prof Awad S. Hanna = 206 ft 3
2. Sectional Calculations: Method 1. Length = 10. 833’+40. 833’ = 81. 67’ 2. Width = 27. 833’+27. 833’ = 55. 67’ 3. Perimeter = 81. 67’+55. 67’ = 137. 34 Total Linear ft 4. Volume = 137. 34’x 1. 5’ = 7. 6 Cubic Yards 30’ 10” 27’ 10” 5. volume in CY = 206/27 = 206 Cubic feet 40’ 10” Prof Awad S. Hanna

EXAMPLE: How many pounds of rebar are required for the concrete floor area below? 6” Concrete slab with #4 rebar 15” on center each way 30’ Prof Awad S. Hanna 40’ 20’ 60’
Step #1: Calculate the total SF of area involved. 20'0" X 30'0" = 600 SF 30'0" X 40'0" = 1 200 SF Total = 1, 800 SF floor area Step #2: Calculate the pounds of rebar per SF of floor based on the unit spacing of the rebar at any point of intersection. Unit area: 15" X 15" = 1. 25' X 1. 25' = 1. 56 SF Unit rebar length: 1. 25' + 1. 25' = 2. 5 LF Lbs. of rebar/unit: = 2. 5 LF X. 668 lbs/ LF = 1. 67 lbs C It is now known that there are 1. 67 lbs of rebar per 1. 56 SQ FT of floor area. 1. 67 / 1. 56 = 1. 07 lbs/SF of floor area. SO: 1. 07 lbs/ SF X 1, 800 SF = 1, 926 lbs of #4 rebar required. Prof Awad S. Hanna
