Every structure needs a foundation. The function of a foundation is to provide a level and uniformly distribute support for the structure. The foundation must be strong enough to support and distribute the load of the structure. The foundation helps prevent cold air and dampness from entering the house. It waterproofs the basement and forms the supporting walls of the basement. It helps prevent the walls from cracking and the doors and windows from sticking.

The basic principles of constructing building foundation are the same, regardless of the situation. The methods and materials used in constructing foundation vary greatly in different parts of the country and are continually changing.

The structural members of the foundation vary according to the design and size of the foundation. The knowledge brought about by the science of soil mechanics confirms that rock beds are the most stable medium for foundations. Practically, the soil where the building stands, serves as the foundation, although it is weaker than any other construction material. To be able to carry satisfactorily the load of the building, the steel and other materials used, as foundation is needed to transmit these loads to the soil.

Technical Terms Encountered in Foundation Plans

Foundation - is the part of the building below the surface of the ground which is sometimes called the substructure.

Footing - is an expansion at the lower end of a wall, pier or column to distribute the load into the ground.

171

Page 8: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

Design of Foundation

The design of a foundation is solely based on site investigation. It is the result of determining the soil surface and the condition of the soil. The topography of the surface has to be considered prior to construction, as this might affect the construction investigation.

A site with a uniform condition is less likely to require extensive investigation as a site for big projects. Drilling is the most suitable way of determining soil condition. Sample of soil extracted from the site is examined as to its consistency and relative density. The area bored or drilled is called test pits. There are varied kinds of boring methods and equipment as there are varied methods of soil testing. The National Building Code requires a sole bearing capacity of the soil at 2ft. per ton or less than twice the maximum bearing capacity desired for use.

To transmit the building load to the soil is the purpose of a foundation, without overloading or over stressing the soil. A structural foundation performs properly if the soil also behaves properly. For the building to last, its foundation should be designed for the worst times.

Laying-Out and Staking

The process of establishing the point of building outline or perimeter on the ground is known to be laying and staking. Prior to construction this process is done which includes demolition, clearing and establishing building measurement on the ground. Before a foundation for a construction begins, the perimeter of the house or building should be laid out on the ground. Please refer to the given illustrations below.

172

Page 9: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

173

Page 10: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

The materials and tools used in laying out are the following:

1. Stake – are wooden sticks or post driven to the ground.

2. Batter Boards – are wood stick nailed horizontally to the stake.

3. Level transit - is for establishing reference point.

4. Plastic water hose - which is transparent and ¼”Ø filled with water to establish level of horizontal lines.

5. String or chord - for connecting established point.

Excavation and Backfilling

Excavation work in construction of residences is of two categories namely, the shallow excavation and the deep excavation.

1. Shallow excavation - includes wall footing, and column footings, whether they are independent, or combined wherein digging of the soil extends to 1.50 meters.

174

Page 11: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

2. Deep excavation - is for large building projects as this requires almost total extraction of the soil at the site. This requires sheeting and shoring of the ground to project adjoining properties. The process is defined as providing temporary support to the structure or ground during excavation.

Backfilling on the one hand is the filling in of the excavated portion after the foundation has been laid out.

175

Page 12: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

The design of a foundation always includes the following:

1. The dead load plus the live load 2. Load effects of wind, head, water, earthquakes 3. Explosive blasts

As in excavation, a foundation is also categorized as shallow foundation which includes matt and spread footing, and deep foundation which also includes piles, piers and caissons.

The earth provides ultimate support of the structure against all elements of nature. Automatically, the soil where the building stands is a material of construction. But physically, the soil is weaker than any other material of construction like steel, concrete and wood. Loads carried by steel, concrete, and wood is transmitted to the ground, hence there is a foundation to transmit that collective load to the soil in such a manner as the soil will not be over stressed to cause serious deformation. The performance of a structural foundation is dependent on soil behavior. Where soil foundation provides lifetime support for a building all forces that act over time shall be considered and that foundation is designed for worst conditions that may develop.

There are instances wherein foundation may settle or move. The movement of the foundation may be due to the following causes. Refer to the sample pictures below.

1. Soil bearing capacity failure

176

Page 13: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

2. Failure or deflection of the foundation structure

3. Shear distortion of the soil

177

Page 14: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

4. Compression of the soil

There are other factors that contribute to the settlement of the foundation but these are indirectly related to the superstructure load imposed on the soil.

Foundation

Foundations are important components in the construction of a building. It is the foundation that carries the load of the building.

Types of foundations:

1. Spread Foundation - includes all those types where the load is distributed into the soil by slender vertical members of timber, concrete or steel called piles.

Sample Spread Foundation

181

Page 18: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

2. Pier Foundation - is one where the load is distributed into the soil by slender vertical members of timber, concrete, or steel called piles. It is in this foundation where concrete piers are carried down through the soil of inadequate bearing power until a satisfactory foundation bed is reached.

3. Slab Foundation - is a solid slab of concrete poured directly on the ground with footings placed where extra support is needed.

182

Page 19: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

4. T- Foundation - consists of a footing upon which is placed a concrete wall or a concrete block wall forming an inverted T and foundation is popular in structures with basement.

6. Mat Foundation - assembles a mat in that the foundation is spread over the entire area of the building floor.

Foundation Members

The structural members of the foundation vary according to the design and size of the foundation

1. Footing – is a portion of the foundation of a structure which directly distributes the weight of a building over large area. Concrete is commonly used for footings because it can be poured to maintain a firm contact with the supporting soil.

183

Page 20: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

2. Foundation walls - the function of the foundation wall is to support the load of the building above the ground line and to transmit the weight of the house to the footing.

2. Piers and Columns Piers and columns - are vertical members usually made of concrete, brick, steel or wood. They are used to support the floor systems and can be used as sole support of the structure.

Footings and columns carry the load of the building resting on the foundation.

Kinds of Footings

1. Wall footing - is a footing which supports a wall by extending along the entire length of the wall.

Wall Footing

184

Page 21: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

2. Isolated footing - is one which supports a single column, post, pier or other concentrated load.

Isolated Column Footing

3. Combined footing - is one which supports two column loads or sometimes three column loads not in a row.

Combined Column Footing

4. Cantilever footing - is one which supports two column loads and consists of two footings connected together by a beam often called a strap.

Cantilever Footing

185

Lesson 2: Draft Structural Floor and Roof Framing Plans

This lesson is design so that students will become more knowledgeable on how to draft a proper layout of structural floor and roof framing plans based on the considerations of the shapes, sizes and detailed connections.

Skills Assessment

Direction: Listed below are some of the most important skills that you must gain in order to draft a quality floor plan. On the right side of the matrix lists the skills expected of you to master. Rate yourself by checking “Not much”, if you are not so familiar yet, “A little” and/or “A lot”, if you are already familiar with the skills. Don’t feel bad if you checked “Not Much” in all of the skills. Keep in mind that this is being administered to determine your pre-entry knowledge of and skills on the lesson to be presented.

Skills in Drafting Structural Floors and Roof Framing Plans

Not Much A little A lot

I can draft structural floor and roof framing plans based on floor and foundation plans using timber, concrete or steel construction.

I know how to draft structural floor and roof beams showing sizes, shapes and detailed connections.

Listed below are technical terms that you may encounter while preparing the details of the plan.

Compression Test - determines behavior of materials under crushing loads.

Concrete Slump Test - is an empirical test that measures the workability of fresh concrete. It measures the consistency of the concrete in that specific batch. The test is popular due to the simplicity of apparatus used and simple procedure.

Dead Load - refers to all the weight in a structure made up of immovable materials.

Framing - is the wood skeleton of a building constructed one level on top of another.

194

Page 31: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

Girder - is the horizontal beam which supports the floor joints.

Heel Plate - is the plate at the end of a truss.

Hip Roof - is a roof with four sloping sides.

Jack Rafter - is a short rafter, usually used on hip roofs.

Joist - is a horizontal structural member that supports the floor system or ceiling system.

Lally Column - is a steel column used to support girders and beams.

Pier - is a block of concrete supporting the floor of a building.

Pilaster - is a decorative column attached to a wall.

Piles - are long posts driven into the soil in swampy locations upon which the foundation footing is laid.

Pillar - is a column used for supporting parts of a structure.

Purlins - are horizontal structural members which hold rafters together. Ridge - is the top edge of the roof where rafters meet.

Slab - is a foundation reinforced concrete and foundation floor.

Span - is the distance between structural supports.

Valley - is the internal angle formed by two slopes of a roof.

Valley Jacks - is a rafter that run from a ridge board to a valley rafter.

Valley Rafters - is the diagonal rafter forming the intersection of two sloping roofs.

195

Page 32: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

Concrete

The structural members of a building are constructed using concrete, which is an artificial stone. It is a result of mixing cement, fine and coarse aggregates and water. This is known as plain concrete. If there is a reinforcement embedded in order that they act together in resisting forces it is called a reinforced concrete.

Cement is the bonding agent that reacts with water to form a stone-hard substance. It is of two types; the hydraulic cement and the Portland cement. Joseph Aydin introduced Portland cement in 1824. Portland cement is categorized as to its type, whether for general construction or where high early strength or resistance is required. Pozzolana cement is amorphous silica that hardens as silica gel by reacting chemically with alkali in water. The name is derived from Pozzolona, Italy where this was found.

Water suitable for drinking is satisfactory for concrete mixing. Admixture, on the other hand is a material other than cement that is used as ingredient in concrete, before or during mixing. The ability of concrete to flow freely and fill all voids is known as workability of the concrete mixture. Workability is sometimes described as consistency, plasticity and mobility. Consistency is the degree or wetness or slump while plasticity refers to the ease with which fresh concrete is molded and mobility refers to the flow or movement of the mixture. Concrete should be proportioned correctly to obtain a good mixture required for a particular work. The strength of concrete is measured in its ability to resist stresses such as compressive, tensile flexural and shearing stress.

Concrete Proportion:

The right proportioning of the ingredients in concrete provides a balance for economy, workability, strength, durability and appearance.

Concrete for building construction is mixed in two different ways:

196

Page 33: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

1. On the job site – hand mixing

2. Ready mixed concrete – by mobile or stationary mixers

Concrete hardens or settles at about two to three hours after the concrete has been mixed. The hardening of concrete depends upon the chemical reaction between the cement and water. The building code provides that concrete shall be maintained above 10˚c temperature for at least 7 days after placing and three days for high early strength concrete.

Reinforced ConcreteIt is a concrete with reinforcement bars embedded. The columns and the footings

are the most common examples of a reinforced concrete. The main purpose of a column is to support a beam or girder, floor or roof. Reinforced concrete columns are of two kinds.

1. Short column – unsupported height is not greater than 10 times the shortest lateral dimension of the cross section.

2. Long column – unsupported height is more than 10 times.

Columns are classified according to the types of reinforcement: 1. Tied column reinforcement 2. Spiral reinforcement

3. Composite reinforcement 4. Combined reinforcement 5. Lally column reinforcement

197

Page 34: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

A tied column has reinforcement called lateral ties, of which the ACI code provides a specific size of ties as follows:

1. A 10mm ties for column reinforcement of 10mm or smaller bar

2. A 12mm tie if column reinforcement is no.11, 14 or 18 steel bars

Also, spacing of tied columns is as follows:

1. That the distance should not be more than 16 times the diameter of the main reinforcing bar.

2. That the spacing should not be more than 48 times the diameter of the lateral ties.

3. That the spacing should not be more than the shortest dimension of the cross section of the column.

The Reinforced Concrete Floor

The floor system of a building refers to the girders, beams and the floor slab. The floor slab carries both the live and dead load, that is the human occupants and all unmovable objects. These are transmitted to the beams then to the columns.

A beam supports the transverse load with each end resting on a support while girder is a beam that supports one or more smaller beams. Beams are classified as simple, continuous and semi-continuous beam while cantilever beams are supported on one end and the other projecting beyond the support.

A concrete beam even if forced from carrying live or concentrated load has to carry its own weight. This is the distributed load and its gravitational effect of its own weight will cause the structure to sag or bend. On the other hand, a bending moment is the tendency of a force to cause rotation at an axis. It is classified as positive and negative bending.

The Reinforced Concrete Slab

198

Page 35: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

Reinforced concrete slab is classified as:

1. One way solid slab2. Two way solid slab3. Ribbed floor

4. Flat slab or Girder less floor.

The type of floor system has its advantages depending on these considerations:

1. Spacing of column2. The magnitude of the loads to be supported 3. The length of the span

4. Cost of construction

A one way slab is the most common type of reinforced concrete floor system. This is supported by two parallel beams. Unlike beams and girders, floor slab needs no web reinforcements. The bending moment of a slab at the center is equal hence the same quantity of reinforcement should be at the center and at support.

The American Concrete Institute

code provides that the

thickness of the slab shall not be less than 10cm nor less than the

perimeter of the slab

divided by 180. The

199

Page 36: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

reinforcement shall not be more than 3 times the slab thickness and the ratio of reinforcement shall be at least 0.0025.

The other most common type of slab used in building residential dwelling is the two way slab where all four sides are supported, either by beams or girders, the reinforcement bars at placed in two directions at right angle to each other. The reinforcement transmits the load of the floor to the side support.

Reinforced Concrete Stairways

200

Page 37: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

The inclined slab supported at the end by beams is the simplest form of a concrete stairway. Reinforcement is placed at only one direction and a transverse one bar per tread. The unsupported span of the stairway shall be short and no break in flight between floors. If the stair is divided into two or more flights, intermediate beams should be used to support the landing. The building code provides that all stairs shall be so designed to give safety and convenience to climbing.

Here are standard dimensions provided for by the code:

1. The minimum width of any stair slab and the minimum dimensions of any landing shall be 110 cm.

2. The maximum rise of the step as about 18 cm. and the tread exclusive of the nosing is 25 cm.

3. The minimum height of straight flight between landing is 360cm.

Stairway constructions are usually built after the completion of the main structural framework of the dwelling unit.

Reinforced Steel Bars

The most common reinforcement for most construction is the steel bar. It is designed to act together with concrete in carrying the building load even in simultaneous deformation; otherwise it might skip out from the concrete if there is no sufficient bond.

Steel can be structurally used in two ways; as reinforcement wherein it is pre-assembled before concrete pouring; and as stressed steel, where heavy tension forces are applied before pouring.

204

Page 41: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

Originally, steel bars were in English measure and that their diameters were standardized from ¼”, 3/8”, ½”,3/4” . etc. for convenience, a number is assigned for each size such as no. 2 for ¼ and so on.

Bar Spacing

The spacing of bars shall be in accordance with the provisions of the American Concrete I:

1. The minimum clear distances between adjacent steel bars shall not be less than 25 mm.

2. When beam reinforcement are placed in two layers the clear distance shall be 25 mm.

3. Lateral ties shall be no.3 bars spaced 16 times the longitudinal bar diameter.

4. The clear spacing between spirals shall not exceed 7.5 or less than 2.5 cm. 10 mm minimum diameter.

Bar Splicing, Cutting and Bending

In building construction, tension bars may be spliced by: 1. Welding 2. Tying 3. Sleeves 4. Mechanical devices w/c provides full positive connection between bars.

Compression bars are spliced by using the following process: 1. Lapping 2. Direct and bearing 3. Welding 4. Mechanical device w/c provides full positive connection.

No. 3 to 8 6 Bars DiameterNo. 9 to 11 8 Bar Diameter

No. 14 to 18 10 Bar Diameter

For simple concrete beams and girders, the steel reinforcement consists of 4 longitudinal bars and stirrups, either of the closed type or the U-type stirrups is secured by wires. The stirrups take care of the diagonal tension and also keep the steel reinforcement in their proper position.

206

Page 43: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

Concrete Floor Slabs

They are common as flooring and usually reinforced with deformed reinforcing bars. Most codes require the top of the slab to be at least 6” to 8”(0.15 to 0.20) thick above grade for the ground floor specifications that are to be included. Slabs plans include the thickness of the slab, size and spacing of reinforcing bars and concrete pounds per square inch (PSI).

207

Page 44: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

Steel Reinforcing Bars

Steel reinforcing bars or rebars are incorporated in concrete and other masonry constructions. They are used to prevent cracking when tension, compression and other forces are applied.

Round rebars are most common in reinforced concrete construction. They may be plain or deformed. Deformed bars have lugs on their surface for increased bond between concrete and steel. The end of the bars are bent to determine the hooks.

Deformed and plain rebars are commercially sold in length of 6.0 meters. Other lengths may also be made available by manufacturers to meet specific needs of consumers.

Sizes of Bars.

Rebars are bought or sold specifically by their diameter. The most common sizes of rebars for residential units are 0.9mm and 0.10mm for stirrups and 0.12mm and 0.16mm for vertical members. See the Table of Specifications below.

Lumber

Steel is becoming a trend in building construction today. This is because it is more economical and easier to work on and there is always available supply. Wood is still sometimes preferred, most specially for low cost housing units. Technically, wood is known as xylem.

The following as the properties of wood as building material:

1. Strong material 2. Durable 3. Light in weight 4. Ease of working and fastening 5. With artistic and natural beauty

Wood has some advantages over that of steel that most people prefer to use it despite that it has become costly and scarce.

Physical Properties of Wood

1. Wood is resistant to compression2. Wood has the ability to resist bending stress3. It has the ability to resist lengthwise stress4 It has the ability to resist rupture along or across the grain.

Wood which is classified as good lumber for building constructions should be prepared and seasoned well from the logging or harvesting to the lumberyard for seasoning. Natural or Air seasoning is one of the best methods although it takes a longer period. In artificial seasoning, a drying kiln is used and the lumber subjected to hot air pressure.

Measuring Lumber

The board foot is the unit of measure for measuring wood. It means one square foot of wood one inch thick or 1444 cw. Meters.

217

Page 54: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

The formula for board foot is:

Bdft. = Thickness X Width X Length 12

Where:Thickness in inchesWidth in inchesLength is in feet

Wood related products such as veneer and plywood are common building materials. Hardboard and particle board are the other products common nowadays. Plywood is classified as soft, hardwood and exterior or marine plywood.

The Wood Floor System

The use of lumber in building construction today has been limited to floor framing, roof framing ceiling and as panels due to the introduction of reinforce concrete and steel. And also lumber material has become scarce.

The wood floor system includes:

1. Girders 2. Floor joist 3. Joist bridging 4. Wood plate 5. Header 6. Trimmer 7. Beam 8. Flooring 9. Stop plate

10. Ledger strip

The girder is a beam from wall to wall and supports the floor joist. They may either be solid or built girder.

218

Page 55: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

A sill is a wood member fastened to the beam by anchor bolts. It may also be fastened to a foundation wall.

219

Page 56: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

A trimmer carries an end portion of a header in a stairwell while a header supports the cut-off joist at a stairwell hole. The flooring refers to the tongue and groove wood common as flooring materials.

The Wooden Stair

The stair has the steps wherein to ascend or descend from one-storey to another. It is the most intricate part of the dwelling unit to build. Not all carpenters have the skill to construct one; those who have the knowledge in the use of the steel stair are a cut above the rest.

In laying out the stair, the planner must study a cross sectional drawing of the proposed stair that comprises the stringer, tread, riser, the run and the rise. After you have known the number of tread and the height per rise of the steps, the length of the stringer could be determined by the formula:

L = ( Rise ) 2 + (Run) 2

Some carpenters do not have the skill to build a stair; those carpenters who have tried and succeeded have found that building the stair is an art in itself. There are several stairway designs or types. Some of these are the straight vein, where the stair steps ascend in one direction, the L-shaped, U-shaped, circular stair and the spiral stairway.

Parts of a Stair: (Refer to the following illustrations below).

Tread – the horizontal part of a step including the nosing Baluster – the small post supporting the handrail Flight – the series of steps from one landing to another. Handrail – a rail parallel with the inclination of the stair that hold the balusters. Pitch – the angle of inclination of the horizontal of the stair. Rise – the height of a flight of stairs or the height of successive treads. Riser – the vertical face of a stair step. Run – the horizontal distance from the first to the last riser of stair flight. Stairwell – the vertical shaft containing the staircase. Winders – are steps not parallel with each other.

239

Page 76: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details

Types of Stringers for Stairs:

There are different kinds of stringers according to method of attaching riser to treads.

1. Cut stringer – used in modern building design.

2. Cleated stringer – used for very rough work.

3. Robbeted stringer – adopted for fine work.

4. Built up – Stringer – with blocks cut from outside stringers.

Summative Assessment

Drafting a Stair

Procedure:

1. Determine the clear height of the rise. Rise per step is 17 to 18 centimeters and minimum tread is 25 centimeters is normally accepted standard

2. Divide the rise height in meters by 0.17 or 0.18 to determine number of steps.

3. If the result is a fraction or decimal, it is not right and adjust to a whole number next lower or greater.

4. Divide the rise by the number to determine height per rise of each step

247

Page 84: Module 4   module 2 structural layout & details
