Concrete Building Design Tips - Building Layout

[@madpete6438]

Hmmm - I am using pre-stressed beams under my slab (intergrated reinforcement to tie them together) My beams are smaller, lighter and stronger than the proposed pore in place ones shown here. I get 8 meter span this way and a clean looking roof. Your video on pre tension / post tension gave me the nudge in that direction - Thank you buddy.

Love the video. I tutor the concrete design project for students at my old university because it’s almost a class itself outside of the lecture. It’s normally a 5-story lowrise building. I will ne reference your video in the future.

Thank you! More videos coming in this series. Look for one on Monday morning before my KZbin Live session! Thanks for the comment!

Have you released any info on why the hard rock collapsed?

[@miransarwarstar8312]

Hi Mr Ley,I have a simple question about concrete main components. Cement:Hydration(Combining and hardening the mix as an adhesion material) Sand:filling voids between gravels Gravel:Gives the mix high compression strength am I right?or could you please add any even tiny information to my answer?Thank you a lot we all love you best you a great wish

[@TheSalama7]

Thank you prof But we didn't design it as two way slab I think it will be more economical Is it for simplicity?

[@saadhadi1274]

How about a video about load calculation, maybe with an example of a four lelvel building, thanks

Wow fantastic video

[@TylerLey]

Thanks so much!

Awesome video, please make more like this that are targeted towards students (or people like me who are just interested). Tangential question: I've always been curious about how you pour a concrete slab for buildings like that. Is it often just a plywood form that is assembled and then disassembled floor by floor? I've also hear about precast slabs that lock together, or steel decking that you can pour the concrete onto. What are the use cases for each? Thanks!

[@emreyuksel7586]

Hi, it depends on how much you can spend. Wood forms are the cheapest and steel forms are relatively expensive. For the precast members , they allow us to get better quality reinforced concrete elements. They are used in viaducts' slab, for instance.

Thanks for your great video. I see you start with the thickness of slab, because it cost the money most. But from the architecture, we have the layout of column fisrt, and we have layout beam from there and determine the size of beam. And final one we determine the slab thickness based on beam layout. It is converse with your procedure?

Wowww best Sirrr..., we wait alwayss👍

[@shehzadytractors]

Great bro

[@richardheinen1126]

Does concrete mix design change these rules?

[@abhishekaggarwal6834]

SIr, Pls add Foundation and slab design too?

[@whkang7854]

great!!

[@skibee50]

Looks like I need to watch another video before I order concrete

[@TylerLey]

Sweet but don't slow down the mud!

[@saadhadi1274]

Easy for you 😔😔😔

[@therakshasan8547]

In short : Think before you do , Plan for the worse case scenario , ans Don't Skimp where lives are at stake.

[@TylerLey]

Good advice! Thanks so much!
