Summary of complete construction of RCC -DESIGN

00:00:00 - 00:05:00

This video explains the complete construction process of an RCC building, starting from the preparation of drawings for client approval to the construction of different parts of the structure. It highlights the site preparation, the placement of strong shuttering, reinforcement, concrete work, and foundation for spreading the building's weight. It also discusses the guidelines for the construction of different parts of the structure, including beam and slab concreting, column shuttering, and proper placement of reinforcement for beams and slabs while maintaining levels as per drawings. Shuttering removal for flexible members should be done carefully, considering live loads and deflection.

• 00:00:00 In this section, the process of constructing an RCC building is explained, starting with the preparation of drawings for client approval. Site preparation includes cleaning, marking of plot boundaries, and excavation as per defined lengths and widths. The surface is then leveled, and the PCC is poured over the leveled surface, followed by the placement of strong shuttering for foundation bars with links as per drawings. Proper reinforcement, shifting, and binding are necessary according to the bar bending schedule prepared, followed by concrete work and foundation, which is necessary for spreading the building's weight. The removal of formwork and backfilling is then supervised by the engineer before the placement of beam reinforcement with proper development length joints in the shuttering to avoid leakage of cement grout.
• 00:05:00 In this section, guidelines for the construction of different parts of an RCC structure are discussed. For beam and slab concreting, the reinforcement should be properly aligned, and the shuttering parts and connections should be arranged for easy removal to prevent damage to concrete and formwork panels. Column shuttering needs to be rigidly constructed and accurately set with a plain surface. The concreting of columns is critical for the overall behavior of the structure, and shuttering removal needs to be done with special attention to prevent damage to the hardened concrete. Proper placement of reinforcement for beams and slabs should follow the design, anchoring with beam bars, and maintaining levels as per drawings. Shuttering removal of flexible members should be done carefully, considering live loads and deflection.
