My assignment involved translating an existing conceptual 3D design into detailed architectural drawings. These drawings were to be created following the rm's established drawing layers and standards. Additionally, I was tasked with developing a furniture layout based on my professional judgment. This involved determining the most functional and aesthetically pleasing arrangement of furniture within the designed spaces, considering factors like trafc ow and user comfort. Furthermore, adjustments to the foundation depths and building design were made in accordance with structural analysis ndings and specic client requirements.

In the residence section, the diagram displays various levels of footings at different contour heights. The footings are categorized into two pairs at the top and bottom contours, with a single footing at the central contour. The lower tie beam of the topmost footing serves as the upper tie beam of the central one, and the lower tie beam of the central footing becomes the upper tie beam of the bottom footing. To support the soil, a retaining wall is constructed.

RETAINING WALL

RETAINING WALL

A retaining wall is a vital structural component in construction and landscaping that serves to retain or support soil or other materials, p r e v e n t i n g e r o s i o n a n d managing elevation changes in various outdoor settings. These walls come in a variety of materials, including concrete, wood, steel, or stone, each with its own aesthetic and functional advantages. Retaining walls are commonly used to create terraced landscapes on sloping terrain, provide structural support for buildings, roads, or gardens, a

r a l l appearance of outdoor spaces.

Here, the diagram above illustrates the details of the retaining wall. These retaining walls incorporate weep holes designed to alleviate the pressure and moisture exerted by the retained soil against the wall. As the wall's height increases, it gradually tapers down in size This intentional design minimizes the risk of the wall bending or toppling under the inuence of soil pressure, ensuring structural stability.

The weep holes are outtted with pipes, each having a diameter of 2 feet and 5 inches, facilitating the effective drainage of excess moisture from behind the wall. The retaining wall stands at a total height of 20 feet and 8 inches, with a width measuring 8 feet. Prior to the construction of this wall, a layer of placement of a 6-inch layer of PCC along with stone backlling. This meticulous preparation ensured a stable and level base upon which the retaining wall was constructed. The PCC layer and stone backlling collectively contribute to the structural integrity and long-term durability of the entire construction, providing a solid foundation capable of withstanding the pressures and demands of the retaining wall's signicant height.

Throughout the construction process, the reference line remains a crucial tool to maintain the wall's alignment.It is typically marked using strings, stakes, or other markers that are level and aligned with the intended position of the wall.

During the site visit, I observed that signicant progress has been made in the construction phase. The lower basement, designated for the swimming area, has been successfully completed, indicating substantial progress in the project's development. Additionally, the upper basement, with a notable oor height of 11’-4”, has been constructed with a staircase consisting of 20 steps, each having a 6.8” riser height, which is an important detail for accessibility and design considerations. Meanwhile, the lower basement stands at a height of 9’-4”, providing insights into the varying elevations within the structure.

A combined footing is a type of foundation that supports two or more columns by sharing a single, continuous concrete slab beneath them. In this case, 8 dia. re-bar are used in the footing in 6” center to center spacing. PCC layer were already laid and column with development length and reinforcement were tied on the PCC layer and formwork were being prepared and after it, concrete mixture were prepared and laid over the formwork for the combined footing.

g.3 Backlling Process

Backlling is the process of lling the voids or excavated areas around foundations, trenches, or structures with soil or other suitable materials. This is done to provide support, stability, and prevent settling or shifting of the structure. Backlling also helps in distributing loads evenly and improving drainage, ensuring the long-term integrity and safety of the construction project.

A shear wall in an underwater tank is a specially designed vertical structure within the tank's walls that provides resistance against lateral forces, such as water pressure. In this case, 8 dia. re-bar has been used horizontally and 10 dia. re-bar has been used vertically with 6” center to center spacing.

RCC casting is a crucial construction process involving the pouring and shaping of concrete mixed with steel reinforcement into desired molds or formwork. Proper curing and quality control are essential during RCC casting to achieve the desired strength and durability in the nished construction elements.

A mat foundation is a substantial concrete slab that uniformly distributes a building's load across the ground, rendering it well-suited for tall or heavy structures situated in regions with varying soil conditions or seismic activity In this context, the footing has a depth of 16 inches with the footing width measuring 11 feet Additionally, the provided gure also illustrates the oor nishing.

Slab Reinforcement bar length dened by calculation:

• When beam is placed at edge: 0.15 X C/C DISTANCE OF PILLAR

• When beam is placed at center: 0.3 X C/C DISTANCE OF PILLAR

When it comes to beam layout, there are two types of reinforcing bars:

through bars and extra bars. Through bars extend from one edge to another, while extra bars are used selectively, providing additional strength only where needed. Their length is calculated using the formula L/2.5, where 'L' represents the length of the beam.

Turning to the placement of stirrups in beams, it's essential to consider that bending moments are greater at the edges and supports compared to the middle section of the beam. As a result, stirrups are positioned closer together near the supports, typically within a distance of '2D,' where 'D' signies the depth of the beam. Typically, at the edges, stirrups are spaced 4 inches apart while in the middle section, they are spaced at a regular 6-inch interval, center to center.

Reinforcement Bar Size:
