@silvesterw55524 Shukran sir!

[Patrick Njuru @njuru_patrick]

Transfer beams typically have greater depths and "heavier" reinforcement because they have to be designed to handle the point load(s).

It was very gratifying to design and see out it's implementation on site.

[Patrick Njuru @njuru_patrick]

Stub columns are normally introduced when there is a change in the architectural floor layouts and the upper floors need to safely transfer the load to a structural member; in this particular case a transfer beam was required.

This from an already completed residential project.

[Patrick Njuru @njuru_patrick]

@Elbito_Guzzman Oh, then 1000mm spacing isn't plausible.

[Patrick Njuru @njuru_patrick]

@Limo_kipkemoi Brilliant project!

[Patrick Njuru @njuru_patrick]

@BasilKahoro This is actually an on-going project.

@Mokaz42 Thank you

The layers of rebar must be correctly spaced in order to allow for proper bonding during concreting and compaction.

[Patrick Njuru @njuru_patrick]

Layering refers to the arrangement of rebar in levels (layers) within a reinforced concrete beam in order to achieve the area of steel required after structural analysis.

This is a 450×200 beam with 2 layers of rebar as bottom reinforcement for a residential project.

@amenya_nelson Are you fucking stupid?

16 innocent lives were taken, and you want to excuse premeditated murder?

That footage is horrific and beyond evil.

@mtupombe24390 You can DM, I'll tell you how to go about it.

Attended an Autodesk event earlier this week where the theme was: "Driving BIM Adoption through BIM Collaborate Pro."

It's pretty cool that there's a platform where multi-displinary teams,especially in the built environment, can work together and collaborate more effectively.
