hi guys and welcome back to SITENG today's video is a first from the pile caps video covering the
drawings and in today's video we're gonna have a look at the pile cap the foundation layout
also we're gonna have a look at the basement slab drawing we're gonna have a look at the
drainage as well and the last one gonna be the pile cap details drawing so yeah guys let's go
so today guys is the first video covering the pile caps here in my construction site video
about the pile caps and uh in today's video i'm going to show you the few drawings but actually
i'm going to do a different way different to what i was doing with the with the capping beam
and the reason for it is first of all i'm gonna let you download these drawings yourself within
two or three weeks you're gonna be able to download this you're gonna have a look yourself
you're gonna go all through this revisions all the stuff legend so i'm not gonna be wasting
time showing you this now unless this will be very important for our pile caps
and the the other reason is also i didn't see the the big interest in the video about the drawings
so i want you actually to leave the comments to tell me how you want this if you prefer
this way or maybe the last bit about the capping beam was was better than this so i actually want
to engage a little bit more with you as well so i'm going to create a group when we can discuss
stuff and things like this about the drawings after you're going to obviously download them and
have a look yourself so i'm going to have a four drawings here i got a pile cap layout drawing here
the foundation plan i got also the basement slab drawer in here it's the basement slab
i have also the drainage drawing and the pile caps detail and i cannot imagine doing anything with
the with the groundworks without them for drawings guys so this is very important and obviously in
the next video i'm gonna cover the rebar and uh maybe other services and and all interesting
stuff about the pile caps so i probably gonna keep it in two videos so but anyway let's go
what i'm going to do now i'm going to take a look at the few pile cups here and i'm going to explain
you how i'm getting the information and we're going to have a look at them so we're not going
to be wasting too much time on all the drawing but just to make it i'm going to insert maybe
some blank page here yeah i got it here that's fine and i'm going to move it
i'm going to move this bit here so i'm going to be interesting from gridline A11 to
gridline A13 i'm going to take this few pile caps and i'm going to put them here
on this drawing and we're going to have a look we're going to prepare uh like a like
a small joint for ourselves and i'm going to copy this here so i'm going to take same bead
from the drawing here covering the basement slab so i'm going to get it here quickly and
we're going to have a look yeah it's here and the drainage of course drainage as well very important
so i'm going to take this bit and we're going to have a closer look at this guys so as i was always
saying uh wherever we're going to construct whatever we're going to be doing we want to know
what's happening below us below the the elements we're doing so i would put it as a drainage
the level we are working at so that's going to be our pile cups here and what's going on what's
happening above us above the elements we're doing so that would be the basement slab here
so drainage pile caps and the basement slab obviously the drainage might be probably going
to be doing at the same time as the pile cups a little bit later or zombies might be done before
but about the drainage i'm going to tell you in separate videos and as this is big part
of works and this requires maybe more more time to do it so i maybe put it quickly here
that's the drainage layout here
drainage layout maybe make it a little bit bigger
drainage layout yes so that's our drainage layout
that's our pile cap
pile caps layout and that's our basement slab here i'm just going to put it here quickly basement
basement slab and this is actually maybe not layout and this is actually just basement slab
ga let's say so yeah we got this information we're gonna have a closer look so you know we got
uh some two pilers three pilers and four pilers here and just to quickly let you know about the
notation which is uh in most inmost drawings all the same pc2 that stands for two piler pc2
two piles pc3 three piles pc for four piles so that's very simple notation obviously there might
be difference between the pile caps and that's the reason why we're gonna we're gonna go here
to pile cap detail drawing and i'm gonna quickly show you here so we had here uh i'm gonna actually
copy this there as well we're gonna prepare all the drawings for you so you're gonna see we got
the two piler here we had the three piler there as well i'm gonna copy it quickly here to repiler
and we had also a four piler uh which is this one i'm gonna copy here and i'm gonna paste it here
so we got this all information on the one drawing i'll maybe make a little bit bigger for ourselves
and uh we're gonna start getting information so maybe just going back quickly to the detail
here what i what i said before it might be different depth of the pile cups and
they might be a little bit different even if it's a three pillar or two piler
i think this is a good example here showing you the pc2 the plan view which is a 900 white
pile cap and in this case pc2a it's a 1200 pickup so that's a very important thing guys you need
to be careful so you're not going to mix them together you're not going to put actually the pc
2 in place of pc2a so that's the stuff this is important thing but probably going to be column
this way that's the reason for it but that's the small things you need to keep an eye all
the time and you see the three piler here this is the 1400 deep pile cup here so they might
be a little bit bigger a little bit smaller but they also might be different in the height of the
pile cap itself so that that's the stuff we need to have a look at okay guys so going back to here
when the drainage layer draw in here we know now we're gonna have uh some pipes going through the
through the concrete through our pile cap so that this designer actually shows this quite
a right i'm very happy with this and if you if you're gonna be the man to order the steel then
you need to look at these drawings very closely and order the pipes as well because if you're
going to have a look at the pile caps instead you can miss it you can miss the information
and on the basement as well you got the columns here but you can miss the information despite
you can see they're going to be some pop-ups here you need to keep them three drawings from the very
beginning to the very end all the time and get the information from so guys i'm gonna go now quickly
to the information we need so obviously we need a position and we need the levels and
that will be the very first information needed from us as engineers so i'm going to go back to
the pyle cab layout drawing and i'm going to try to get this information and as you can see here
i got it all top of pile caps to be 42 715 so that's very good we're going to copy this and what
i can tell you i'm very happy so this is very good for us the designer made it easy for us really to
make all the pile caps at the same level so all the top of concrete for the pile cups gonna be 42
715 which is very good but now we need to look at the basement slab drawing and we need to make sure
how far we're going to go uh with them pile caps to our slab if it's going to be under the soffit
it's going to be to the soffit or maybe this is going to be in the basement slab actually so we're
going to go here and we're going to try to find this information and yes we have here 300 rc slap
structural slab level 43015 so now we know actually that our 42 715 this is actually soffit
of the slab so i'm going to go back to here and i'm going to put it here guys uh they're going to
be easy for you to see make it a little bit bigger maybe and now we know that the old all pile caps
for this building they're going to go just up to the soffit of the slab which is gonna be pouring
pile cups all the way to the top we're gonna need the position of the pile cups as well so about the
position here as you can see on this layout there is no position given on the drawing but there is a
quite nice note here all pile caps to be set out concentric to associated column unless dimension
otherwise so now we know here we're gonna have to go to the column setting out which
is actually found on the basement slab ga and this is gonna determine the position of our pile caps
so that's very important and also if some pile is going to be a little bit off obviously you need to
make sure that the pile cab itself is going to be sitting on the piles and the column going to be in
the center so the load from the structure going to go through the column onto the pile cabin through
the pile cap they're gonna go down through the piles onto the ground so that's very important
so this note is actually quite okay and uh and yeah so we know the position now so guys i can
also tell you this that uh this designer actually showing us the the the as you can see the plan
view and the the pc elevation which is very good here so what we know now top of concrete we know
the slab level we know the soffit of the slab so maybe i'll just put it here quickly slap some feet
slaps off it equals actually forty two seven one five something forty two seven one five uh this
is very good information for us uh especially we're gonna be doing the pile cups now and what
what else we can do so we got information about the height of this pile cup so this
is actually very very easy and simple for us now because this level now the blinding level here
uh we're gonna know taking the 42715 minus 1400 that's the blinding level and uh obviously plus 75
mil we're gonna have uh our cutoff level here and it depends how much blinding we're gonna put but
it's typically 50 mil so our forty two seven one five minus one four five zero gonna be our dig
level for this particular poly cup so that's very easy guys uh i think it's all clear if you've got
any questions just let me know but in this case uh it's very easy all the pile caps are set at
the same level and as i said you're gonna be able to download more drawings i'm gonna i'm gonna let
you see the drawings from the other designer where they're gonna be big differences they're gonna be
some steps in the slabs i want you to actually have a look through them and if you got any
questions just come back to me unless you want to see me making a video covering that drawing
as well so i think i said that would be all for today's video we got all the information here we
got the drainage layout pile caps layout we got a basement ga and combining them three drawings
we are good to go really and uh we got the soffit of the slab we got our pile caps dev we got the
podcast position taking the columns position we got the drainage as i said so i think that's
all in today's video guys uh just let me know actually if you like the way i'm showing this one
compared to the cupping beam videos and obviously if you got any questions just guys leave the
comments below ask me ask me questions no problem with that i always answering them as soon as
possible and just don't forget to subscribe to my channel guys and yeah see you next time
