The discussion centers on the casting of ground beams and ground slabs in construction, specifically questioning whether they can be cast together. Participants highlight that the feasibility of casting these elements simultaneously depends on various factors, including the type of foundation (e.g., piled foundations with a ring beam or reinforced raft foundation) and structural requirements. It is established that while there are scenarios where they can be cast together, there are also conditions that necessitate them being separate. Clarification on the materials and application context is essential for a definitive answer.
PREREQUISITESStructural engineers, construction project managers, and students studying civil engineering who are involved in foundation design and concrete construction techniques.
Told by whom? Can you provide a link? And what is a "ground beam" in the context of your question? Wood, steel, other material? What is the application?dss975599 said:Homework Statement
Guys, I was told that the ground beam can't cat together with ground slab ? Why ?
Why for first floor , the beam can be casted together with ground slab ?
