HNC Coursework Help

04/26/2010 4:25 PM

Hi,

I'm really stuck on some coursework for my HNC - I'm a trainee QS but am being asked to work out 2 things that I have no idea about!! If anyone could possibly help I'd be so grateful!!!

The question is this:-

You have a building 10.350m long, 6.725m wide and a balcony protruding 2.6m. In the inside of the building there's a load of 6400kg (80 people with an average weight of 80kg) uniformly distributed and on the balcony a load of 2400kg (30 people with an average weight of 80kg) uniformly distributed + 12% for safety.

1) How do I calculate the reaction at the supporting wall

2) What's thickness of slab and mix would be recommended and why

As I'm sure you'll agree - not a great question for a QS.

Thanks for any help you can give!!!!

What's an HNC? What is a QS? Why are you being asked to do something you are obviously not qualified for? Are you trying to help someone with their homework, or are you just being disingenuous?

A truly helpful response.

I assume that once you know what these two acronyms stand for you will be of great help to the OP. For this reason and this reason alone I shall enlighten you:

HNC - Higher National Certificate

QS - Quantity Surveyor

From which side does the balcony protrude--the longer dimension or the shorter? The moments of reaction will be different in each case....

Hi,

Really sorry, I gave up looking at this as it would seem most didn't like me asking the question..........

Thank you very much for trying to help though, I wish I'd seen it in time but I've had a crack at trying to do it now and have handed it in. It could be completely wrong but hey ho.

Thanks again!!!!

In reading the post, I asked myself what is HNC, but noticed "guest" had beat me to it. Lousy question not worthy of my time.

Read a building code(any code but preferably the one in force in your area) and a book on reinforced concrete design.
