STRUCTURAL
CONCRETE Concrete is used for
structural support. Concrete and rebar are used to increase tensile
strength. Concrete should be placed on stable subsoil. Concrete
is measured in cubic yards. Concrete and steel reinforcing bars
should always be placed according to local building codes or under
the direction of a structural engineer.
A.)
Footings & Foundations
The
most common type of footing used for foundations in this area
are called continuous or spread footings. Most footings are reinforced
with rebar designed by a structural engineer. Most all houses
in California will have some type of concrete footing and foundation
to support the building
whether single story or two story.
B.) Structures & Stairs
A
common type of concrete procedure used for residential, is a combined
slab and foundation-footing is called a monolithic slab. Stairs
to houses are often built with concrete.
C.) Retaining Walls
Retaining
walls can be either block or concrete walls with some type of
concrete footings. All block or concrete walls should be reinforced
with specified size and spacing of rebar.
