Post Planted on RC Slabs and RC Beams.

This Architectural drawing is section on detailing of Post Planted on RC Slabs and RC Beams.  A planted column is a vertical compression member supported on a non-axial bearing member such as slabs or beams to answer the structural requirements without sacrificing interior and architectural needs. The slab which is supported on Beams and columns is called a conventional slab. In this kind, the thickness of the slab is small whereas the depth of the beam is large and load is transferred to beams and then to columns. It requires more form work when compared with the flat slab. The main difference between flat slab & conventional slab-beam system is that the one is directly supported on the column while another system has a beam for support. The load is transferred directly from slab to column in the flat slab. For more information and detail download the drawing file.
