How to do Panel Casting

 Many of you are confused about how to do Panel casting & how does it work. Panel casting is a very simple thing. Neither you should have to do any hard work nor you should have to count for any details. The work should be done perfectly, that's the only thing it matters. But before that I want to say if you have not read about RE Wall design than you are going to understand nothing. First read that blog after that you will understand here. Click on the following link.


First of all you should have to know about the cavity connector's, which you have to give before panel casting. It's 255mm in length, 140m in breadth & 115mm in height. You can see in the image.


Not in all cases you will get the same measurement. In every cases it's different. But the main thing is that, you see whether all the cavity connector's from center-center is 800mm or not. 
See here, the c/c distance of cavity is 400, 400 i.e., 800mm to both side. 

But what is that cavity. Or how the cavity comes. You can see at the image. It's of black color and it's fitted in a reinforcement cage like this. And that time only you have to maintain cavity c/c distance. Otherwise after casting it's of no use. You cannot even slide the cavity to maintain it's c/c distance. 


And after panel casting the panel will look like this. It's very unique and this type of work is very interesting after you know it. 

So, all these things are over. Now what to do after panel casting. You cannot keep the panels like this in the mold, after casting. You have to take the panels and place it somewhere. So that it gets hardened, the concrete also gets stronger bonding, & after that ready for launching. 

So how you will launch it, that I will explain you in another blog. But here I will explain you, how you will place it. Or how you will do the placing. 
You all have seen Hydra, or say (crane), that is used for to lift something. Some kind of heavy loads. That Hydra is used for lifting the panels. First of all you have to bring tuition or bell, whatever makes you easy to lift. After that, you have to insert it at the cavity box and then lift it by Hydra. But before that make sure, whatever material you take to lift doesn't takes much more time to finish the work. Otherwise the whole day you have to go on by doing that. Just look at both the images. Here I will explain you briefly. 
Here the panel is lifted by both tuitions & bell. It takes much more time and even gets difficult to lift up. First you insert the tuition, after that you take the D-cycle and put it, after that again you insert the bell in the D-cycle😔. After that you lift it by Hydra. It's a lengthy process and what's the time you take to do it fast, it takes a mid-day to complete it. Max. 2-3 hrs. So this process is not preferable. 

But here you see, only 4-tuitions are brought of length3.5m each, and after that you make a ring out of it. Then you insert it inside the cavity box (4 cavity box) and then lift it by Hydra. This process is very fast and it takes only 2-3 minutes to place one panel. It's simple and this process is very fast also. This is more preferable. 

So you ahve understood how to do Panel Casting and how to do Panel placing. Next I will explain you of launching of panels. Thank you.

How to edit grid systems in Etabs

 Okk in the last blog I had discussed about Etabs for beginners. You have got at least some ideas about it. If you have not seen it then click here . But here I am going to discuss how you will edit Grids/Columns in Etabs. As I had said by clicking on "Modify/Show Grid Systems" option a new dialog box appears, their you can edit anything. But you can also do it by different way. On the left side in grid dimensions (plan) you can see that two options are available. One is "Uniform Grid Spacing" and the other is "Custom Grid Spacing". Click on the "Custom Grid Spacing" and you see that Edit Grid Data option is available. Just click on that, and you can edit it as you want by giving the required dimensions in X-axis and Y-axis only. Ok whatever be lets come to the topic. If you have done it like as I have shown earlier then follow those steps. And the one who were new to this blog this is just for that. That's why I underlined with BLUE line an...

How to make Staircase in Etabs

 In the last blog I had described about making beams, columns, slabs/roofs in Etabs. But I forgot to tell you how to make staircase. Apology for that. But today in this blog I am going to discuss how to make staircase in Etabs. So before making Staircase first of all delete one side of the slab by single click. But remember one thing in the story side you should have to click "All Stories" so that automatically all slabs will get deleted and required gap and positioning will be appeared.  First click on All Stories After that select one portion of slab   After that go to Edit menu and click on Delete   Then one part of the slab of each story becomes hollow So doing the following steps you can now make the staircase. As for staircase we need hollow section at the top of it, so that it's free to move. In practical field also you can't provide staircase if the roof is covered with slab. Now the main procedure begins for Etabs.  Go to define tab menu and click on Se...

WHAT IS PEDESTAL IN FOOTING ?

 During foundation you should always be careful that there is no water present in the excavation pit and the depth should be accurate. So for that you need manwork and labourers to maintain it's accuracy. So before going further for any work just be careful that the depth of foundation is accurate and no error should be made. Because the structure of a building is fully depend upon foundation. And this is general sense that the all the building loads are carried to the foundation i.e., footing.  Before doing any foundation work first of all brick soiling is to be done or sand filling. The building where high rise structures are made, sand filling is done; but the house with ground floor, brick soiling is sufficient. But from where you will get the bricks. Obviously you will have to order or bring it from bricks factory where bricks are made. And after bringing the bricks where you will placed them?  (Actually all these practical knowledge are not taught in the college so ...
