for grade beam covering?

[@namkebanyanklariti]

I like your channel very much and your detail analyses. I would like to see pictures of typical construction mistakes made by novice contractors and what should have been done instead?

Great suggestion!

Clear cover Distance between face of concete member to the side of reinforcement Otherwise water penetrate in concrete and it tends to corrosion Prvent from fire Footing-50mm(it highest because it in the below ground expose to water) Column-40mm Water retaining structure-25-30mm Beam-25mm Slab-15mm Staircase-15mm Shear wall-25mm
