Rebar detailing is the discipline of preparing 'shop/placing' or 'fabrication' drawings or shop drawings of steel reinforcement for construction. Engineers prepare 'design drawings' that develop required strengths by applying rebar size, spacing, location, and lap of steel .
A cantilever in a traditionally timber framed building is called a jetty or forebay. In the southern United States, a historic barn type is the cantilever barn of log construction. Temporary cantilevers are often used in construction. The partially constructed structure creates a cantilever, but the completed structure does not act as a cantilever.
The cantilever method is an approximate method for calculating shear forces and moments developed in beams and columns of a frame or structure due to lateral loads. The applied lateral loads typically include wind loads and earthquake loads, which must be taken into consideration while designing buildings.
The shop drawing normally shows more detail than the construction documents. It is drawn to explain the fabrication and/or installation of the items to the manufacturer’s production crew or contractor's installation crews. The style of the shop drawing is usually very different from that of the architect’s drawing.
Rebar assembly: This will be erected, attached to foundation rebar and then enclosed by reusable column formwork and cast in concrete. Column formwork: A monolithically cast column (formed in a single concrete pour) with its segmented metal formwork being disassembled from the bottom up.
Laced vertical struts and diagonal ties on the cantilever portion of the now-demolished eastern span of the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge) A lattice girder is a truss girder where the load is carried by a web of latticed metal.
Cross-sectional diagram of a typical voided biaxial slab All voided biaxial slabs incorporate an array of rigid void formers which contain air within the voids. These void formers are most commonly made of plastic such as high-density polyethylene , and may use recycled materials. [ 7 ]
Axon and elevation diagram of lift slab construction. Lift slab construction (also called the Youtz-Slick Method) is a method of constructing concrete buildings by casting the floor or roof slab on top of the previous slab and then raising (jacking) the slab up with hydraulic jacks. This method of construction allows for a large portion of the ...
