Design of Foundation | RCC Building Design
Foundation design is the structural component from where the RCC design
is initiated. The foundation design guide discussed earlier includes in detail
the design procedure for isolated column footing. Column footing is the
most commonly used type of foundation. It serves a variety of different
buildings.
Design of Foundation – the most commonly used foundation is
Column footing.
Calculation of loads in Foundation Design Calculation of loads is very
important for the purpose of structural design. This article outlines
the thumb rules for the calculation of various loads in foundation
design.
Types of Foundations This is a generic article on different types of
foundations. It covers some commonly used shallow foundations and
also explains pressure distribution under a foundation.
Design of Beams | RCC Building Design
Beams are mainly classified into two types:
1. Doubly reinforced beam (most commonly used in RCC
Construction)
2. Singly reinforced beam
A series of articles have been written for the design of Singly
reinforced sections. The articles include basic definitions and
formulas, understanding stresses and modular ratios, assumptions for
singly reinforced sections, Design method 1, Design method 2,
Moment of resistance and a number of solved numerical examples.
Design Method One
Design Method Two
Design of Columns | RCC Building Design
Design of RCC columns
The article discusses the classification criteria for a column, and design of
different types of reinforcements for columns which include longitudinal,
transverse and helical reinforcements.

Thumb rules for designing a Column Layout
The articles important thumb rules to be followed for column layout design.
Three important thumb rules have been discussed.
1. Size of the Columns
2. Distance between Columns
3. Alignment of columns
Design of Slabs | RCC Building Design
Various types of RCC Slabs Different types of RCC Slabs have been
discussed including corrugated, ribbed, waffle, prefabricated concrete
slab and in-situ concrete slabs.
Design of Simply supported Slab
Design of Sunken Slab
Design of Staircase | RCC Building Design
Design of Dog legged Staircase
The article outlines the types of staircases and discusses in detail the design
procedure for the design of dog-legged RCC staircase. It includes
classification of stairs based on the spanning direction.
1. Stairs spanning horizontally
2. Stairs spanning vertically
