Good job Mr moor.
I like the attention to detail you apply in your works. Nice and neat ( I know its quite cumbersome putting those sheets beneath the reinforcements, but you pull it off nicely).

About the reinforcement though, was that slab designed with the in-beam? And if so, was it detailed to have two top and two down?

I'm a little uncomfortable with the current setup as shown in the pix above. I'm not too sure it will pass the serviceability limit state even if it passes the ultimate one. It can become a little more complicated if in future building owner decides to repartition...

If it was some other guys with lower quality of work, I'd just waka pass.

I can delete this pos later at your request.

We do appreciate your interest in our work. Yes we do follow structural details strictly. D secret beam necessary due to the span and we consider it odd introducing dropped beam because we have living room underneath.
Thanks

semitunde:


OK. If the in-beam ( or secret beam) is to divided a span between two drop beams then it fine. My worry initially was that the in-beam was used to replace the drop beam location which is quite risky. And if in any case one has to delete a drop beam, you wouldn't want to use a y16 two top, two down.

The pictures seemed to show the in-beams in the location of the drop beams but I'm glad you cleared that up and that its not the case.

Cheers

segcymoor:


Have a closer look bro

semitunde:


Great! I feel better.

Must have been the point of view of the initial shots.

I've had instances where I had to delete drip beams, but the had to determine the reinforcements for the in beam, both using theoretical and experiencial knowledge. E dey chop iron!

Anyways, make I no derail your nice thread.

Good job!
