Structural works / Nor Suziana Mohamad

This report divided by four chapters which is introduction, company background, case study and conclusion and recommendation. This report is discussed about structural works for semi D house. This house will build for FELDA's staff. Structure includes foundation, ground beam, column and roof beam. The size of installation for reinforcement bar is different for every structure except for ground beam and roof beam because both of the structures have an exactly size. My practical reports are focused on structural works such as reinforcement bar works, formwork and concreting works. Reinforcement bar works is a common steel bar that is commonly used as a tension device in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures, to strengthen and hold the concrete in compression. It was the hard process when bending the reinforcement bar which is this site using manual method by used workers because this is only the small project. Besides, there are many types and sizes of the reinforcement bar that could explain in the next chapter. Formwork is a die or a mould including all supporting structures, used to shape and support the concrete until it attains sufficient strength to carry its own weight. It should be capable of carrying all imposed dead and live loads apart from its own weight. Formwork has been in use since the beginning of concrete construction. There are the example of material used for formwork, plastics, timber, fiberglass and steel.
