Reading and interpreting a foundation project involves having the correct dimensions of the soil structure, such as depth, width and height dimensions, frame system and construction details that the designer designed for the specific work. In this video, I show you the 3 most common mistakes that construction professionals make when reading a foundation project. 📌 MINICOURSE TRACE THE THREAD - Learn how to calculate the concrete stroke step by step http://estruturasebim.com/comece-por-... 👷👏 Revit 2023 Complete + Bonus - UNPUBLISHED https://bit.ly/Revit2023Completo 👉 Visit our website and guarantee your materials https://estruturasebim.com ⭕ EQUIPMENT AND BOOK: 💻Notebook that I use to design WITHOUT LOCKING: https://amzn.to/3zuIkEH ⌨️ Calculator model that I use to calculate: https://amzn.to/3oqi0oP 👉 📚Book Calculation and Detailing of Usual Reinforced Concrete Structures: https://amzn.to/3jfyFbX Hello, How are you? After all, the form of communication within the construction site It is through reading and interpreting the projects. Although each project is different, reading consists of seeing what the finished structure will be like, but with the entire process until reaching the final objective. Thus, the dimensions, gauge, type of concrete, excavation and construction details. In this sense, the isolated footing is a foundation from the group of shallow or superficial foundations, which allows a structure up to 2 meters deep and a SPT stroke number of 8 or greater. This type of foundation is excellent when we need to receive and transmit loads from concentrated loading, for example, pillars. Reading the footing project has some points that deserve care, in this video I show some tips to avoid taking risks, where the problems are: Lean concrete: lean concrete or the use of gravel ballast has the role of separating the structural concrete from the soil, which allows this layer to be used to ensure a longer useful life of the structure. Although there is no rule, the use can be found in 5 cm with concrete with low cement content. Footing hooks facing upwards: this is an error that ends up generating doubts, where people are unsure whether the hooks of the reinforcements at the base of the footing should be facing upwards or downwards. This is a mistake that has ended up generating many doubts. Always leave the footing hooks facing upwards, this ensures that the concrete has adhesion, which allows for a more rigid piece and is free from chemical attacks due to the lack of cover. Use of lattice in the connection pillar: never use this type of reinforcement in the project, since the lattice must be used in a lattice slab. The reason for this incorrect adoption is the issue of saving steel, which ends up losing effectiveness over time, since the structure is limited in renovations or expansion of the building. Since the lattice gauge is non-standard, it does not have stirrups to resist crushing forces, much less buckling forces. The correct way is to use gauges between 5 mm or greater in closed stirrups, with bars on the diagonals. Footing geometry: a classic mistake is to think that the footing should be dimensioned based on the geometry that the superstructure pillar uses. This does not mean that we will always have square or rectangular footings, it depends on the structural design. Therefore, we can have footings in a circular, square, rectangular shape or the geometry specified in the project. Good studies! Eng Pedro Rodrigues
