Foundation(Base) rebar arrangement


1) Foundation(base) work
In foundation work, the lean concrete underneath the footing concrete, is very
important.
Without it, constuction site, on which a building will be raised up, it would not be
clean and stable disturbing construction work.
Be sure to make lean concrete working mat having at least 50mm of thickness.
If F.L. of lean concrete is not fit, there are difficulty in fix S.L.

2) The height of spacer


Bar spacer is used to maintain the arranged bar balanced.
When arranging the bars or flooring, stones and bricks can not be used to support
them.
You have to prepare spacer in advance because there are high possibility of unbalance
when using stones or bricks to level the ground.
(in case of spacer height lean concrete top is 60mm)

head on base concrete

The reason that the top of piles is embedded into foundation is that , in case of an
earthquake , the pile causes bending fracture.
Especially , when the ground is unstable , there should be specified directions on
the drawings.(in case pile cover bending moment & compresssion or cover tension
properly only)

3) Independent Foundation(Single Footing)


Usually in double footing and floating foundation , remained bar length is bent up and
down to splice them together as depicted below.
However, the remaining parts of the bar can be cut off to reinforce the foundation.

4) Foundation(base) pillar tie hoop


The main purpose of the tie hoop is to restrain the transverse load in order to relieve
vertical load into pillar.
Even though foundation concrete has capacity to support the loads from the pillars, tie
hoops help main bars be fixed at which they should be and it is important job.

The tie hoops at the bottom hold the bars of the pillar in lean concrete and marking

5) Foundation(base) upper-support(Wooma) rebar


- Foundation thickness : below T=1,000mm for HD16, over T=1,000mm for HD19
space should be @1000-@1500
