Question

Accepted Answer

I have experience working with various types of foundations, determining column positions based on criteria, designing slabs, beams, and columns, and understanding the differences between load bearing and framed structures as well as shallow and deep foundations.

Types of foundations I have dealt with include shallow foundations (such as spread footings and mat foundations) and deep foundations (such as piles and drilled piers)
Criteria for determining column positions in a plan may include structural requirements, architectural constraints, and functional considerations
Design of slab involves determining the thickness, reinforcement layout, and support conditions based on loading and span requirements
Design of beams includes selecting appropriate section size, reinforcement, and detailing for carrying applied loads
Design of columns involves determining the size, reinforcement, and detailing to support vertical loads and resist lateral forces
Load bearing structures transfer loads directly to the ground, while framed structures use beams and columns to support loads
Shallow foundations are typically used when the soil can support the loads within a few meters of the surface, while deep foundations are used when the soil conditions require transferring loads to deeper layers
