Building Structures are Designed from top (roof) to bottom (foundations) Building Structures are usually constructed from foundations to roof

Therefore typical details should be referred from bottom (foundation level) to top (roof level) and not from top to bottom to avoid confusion at construction stage.

Levels

in metres

(a) For major works use Ordnance Survey (OS) datum


(b) Civil & major Building works use a TBM or transferred OS datum (c) For minor works use a job datum wrt a suitable fixed point On plan levels are indicated within a rectangle and preferably described SSL 155.075 On Elevations & Sections project beyond drawing with closed FFL SSL arrowhead 155.075 50

Dimensioning recommendations
Unit for layouts and levels is metre; say 2.450, 128.400, 9.125m Unit for R/F and sections is millimeter; say 5, 35, 2575 (can avoid writing mm and dimension to whole mm) Place dimensions above and not through dimension lines or not inside details. Place to view from bottom or RHS of drg.

G A drgs should give setting out dimension & sizes of members

Dimensions in R/F drgs only to show correct location of R/F.

TRIMMING OF HOLES 2
(g) If hole side (500 - 1000) treat as in (f) but trim with similar bars at top. If element depth is >= 250 furnish diagonal bars top and bottom. 45 min

(h) In group of holes within 500 or less treat as single hole and trim as in (f); but bars should pass alongside where possible. (i) In group of holes within 500 and 1000 treat as single hole and trim as in (f) and (g).

Cutting element bars passing through hole and furnishing a stirrup as a trimmer is totally wrong

Joints in Slabs 1
Control joints a retooled, sawed, or pre-moulded joints to allow for shrinkage of large concrete areas. Control joints create a weakened section that induce cracking to occur along the joint, rather than in a random fashion.

Isolation joints provide a separation between a slab on grade and columns or walls, so that each can move independently.

Expansion Joints 2

In a 100mm thick concrete walkway, what is the typical spacing for 6m on center expansion joints? accommodates movement due to both expansion and contraction
