Wall & Wall Footing

1. The document discusses the components of buildings, including the superstructure above ground and substructure below ground. It focuses on walls, describing different types like load-bearing, non-load bearing, masonry, and hollow concrete block walls. 2. Details are provided on wall footings, including the use of temperature and transverse reinforcement bars, splicing bars, and calculating bar needs. Footings are designed to spread wall loads and prevent collapse from lateral forces. 3. An example calculation is shown for a 8m long wall footing requiring 3 diameter 10mm temperature bars, cut and spliced in 2.4m pieces with hook lengths.

DIFFERENT COMPONENTS OF A BUILDING

BASIC COMPONENTS OF A
BUILDING

SUPER
SUBSTRUCTURE
STRUCTURE
SUPER STRUCTURE
Part of the building which is above the ground and which serves the purpose of the building’s
intended use.

SUBSTRUCTURE
Part of a building or other structure which is below the ground
SUPER STRUCTURE

• Walls
• Columns
• Beams
• Roofs
• Slabs
• Stairs
WALL
A general term for one of the sides of a
room or a building, connecting the floor and the
ceiling, or roof.

Partition
An interior non-load bearing wall

Screen or Panel

A prefabricated building component that


is typically broad and thin
LOAD BEARING VS. NON LOAD
BEARING
LOAD-BEARING WALLS NON-LOAD BEARING WALL

Load-bearing walls support the weight of A non-load bearing wall doesn't support
a floor or roof structure above and are so floor roof loads above. It is not a part of
named because they can support a the structural frame system. Most of the
significant amount of weight. time, they are interior walls whose
purpose is to divide the floor into rooms.
MASONRY WALL

The common materials of masonry construction are


brick, building stone such as marble, granite, and limestone,
cast stone, concrete block, glass block, and adobe.

❑They support slabs and beams.

❑They safely transmits the loads


coming on them from beams and
slabs to the foundation.

HOLLOW BLOCK WALL

A fire wall has a general dimension of 40 meters long and 8 meters high specify the use of 15 cm. concrete
hollow blocks with class "B" concrete mortar mixture. Prepare a comparative bill of materials for both CHB and a
reinforced for the same wall.
Hollow Concrete Blocks are more frequently used because:

1. They reduce overall weight and thus are easier to


handle
2. They can be grouted and reinforced, yet meets
demanding structural requirements easily.

Advantages:

• Provides better thermal insulation

• Protects the interiors against noise pollution, as it absorbs the sound better

• Gives added protection against fire


THICKNESS OF LOAD AND NON LOAD BEARING WALLS

NON LOAD BEARING WALL MINIMUM THICK


= The greater of 100 mm or 1/30 the lesser of unsupported length and
unsupported height

LOAD BEARING WALL MINIMUM THICK


= The greater of 100 mm or 1/25 the lesser of unsupported length and
unsupported height
WALL OR STRIP FOOTING

-Is a continuous strip of concrete that serves to spread the weight of a load bearing wall.
TEMPERATURE BAR

Parallel along long span or Direction

TRANSVERSE BAR

Parallel along short span or Direction


Tie Beam
Footing tie beam is a structural component of
buildings. It can be used to support the foundation and
prevent it from collapsing when there are lateral loads,
such as wind or earthquake forces acting on the building
structure.

“In Philippines, there is various size of Steel


reinforcement bar available 10mm to 40mm in typical
length of 6m, 7.5m, 9m, 10.5m and 12m. Other
sizes and length of 13.5m and 15m of Steel bar are
also customized according to customer requirement.”
SPLICING

The method used to join the reinforcement bars, so that the force is transferred effectively
from one bar to the other.
