👉STAIRCASE DESIGN & DIMENSIONS — KEY CIVIL ENGINEERING DETAILS

🌟A well-designed staircase must be safe, comfortable, structurally adequate, and compliant with the applicable building code.

📐 Important Dimensions Shown

1. Minimum headroom: 2.10 m
2. Handrail height: 0.90 m
3. Landing: At floor level and where required
4. Riser: 0.15 m (150 mm)
5. Tread: 0.25 m (250 mm)
6. Total rise: 3.00 m
7. Typical riser range: 0.15–0.20 m
8. Stair width: 1.20 m
9. Horizontal run shown: 4.50 m

🧮 Staircase Formula — Blondel’s Rule

2 × Riser + Tread ≈ 0.60–0.65 m

For the dimensions shown:

2 × 0.15 + 0.25 = 0.55 m

⚠️ Important: 0.55 m is below the commonly used 0.60–0.65 m comfort range, so the “safe & comfortable” check shown in the graphic should not be interpreted as a universal code-compliance approval.

Stair dimensions should be finalized according to the applicable local building code and actual floor-to-floor height.

🏗️ RCC Staircase Reinforcement Shown

- Main reinforcement: Ø12 mm @ 150 mm c/c along the slope
- Distribution reinforcement: Ø10 mm @ 200 mm c/c
- Clear cover: 20 mm

These reinforcement sizes are illustrative only.
Actual reinforcement must be designed based on span, loading, support conditions, concrete/steel grades, thickness, seismic requirements, and the governing structural code.

🔨 Construction Points

✔ Keep riser heights uniform throughout the flight.
✔ Maintain uniform tread dimensions.
✔ Provide a suitable non-slip finish.
✔ Ensure adequate landing and headroom.
✔ Provide properly anchored handrails/guardrails.
✔ Use proper concrete compaction and curing.
✔ Check the complete staircase design before construction.

Remember: Staircase dimensions and reinforcement should be verified by a qualified structural engineer and the applicable local building regulations before construction.

👉How to be treated-Forgotten Items in Previouse Interim Payments?

🌟A contractor can be paid for a forgotten item of work in the final payment, but it depends on contract terms and proper documentation.

1. Contractual Basis

If the item is part of the original scope of work (included in BOQ, drawings, or specifications) but was mistakenly omitted in earlier interim payments, it can be included in the final account.

If it is an extra or variation, a formal variation order or instruction should be approved before payment.

2. Verification

The Resident Engineer (RE) or Consultant must verify that:

The work has been executed to the required standard.

It was not previously paid for.

It is not a duplication of another item.

3. Payment Procedure

Include the forgotten item in the Final Payment Certificate.

Provide a measurement sheet or payment summary showing the work done and its valuation.

Obtain approval from the Engineer/Consultant and Client before release of payment.

4. Contract Clauses

Refer to the contract clauses on Final Account, Variations, and Payment Certificates (FIDIC, PPA, or local standard contract conditions).

4.1.FIDIC (1999 Red Book)

Clause 14.6 – Issue of Interim Payment Certificates

“The Engineer may in any payment certificate make any correction or modification that should properly be made to any previous payment certificate.”

This means if an item was forgotten in the first payment, it can be included in later interim payments, provided it was part of the contract works.

4.2.Ethiopian Public Procurement Agency (PPA) Conditions of Contract

Clause 43.1 – Interim Payment Certificates

“The Engineer may in any payment certificate make any correction or modification that should properly be made to any previous certificate.”

Clause 47 – Final Statement and Payment also confirms that any remaining adjustments or omissions shall be included in the final payment

Once the final certificate is signed, no additional claims are normally accepted unless there is a formal dispute.

5. Practices

According to the Ethiopian Standard Conditions of Contract (MoWE or ERA):

Clause on Interim Payment Certificates allows correction of previous omissions or errors in subsequent certificates.

Payment is cumulative – meaning any forgotten item can be added later as long as it is justified.

6. Time Limitation

Some contracts state that claims not raised within a certain time (e.g., 28 days after discovery) may be invalid. Check the contract for such provisions.

📐 BEARINGS IN SURVEYING

Bearing is the horizontal angle measured in a horizontal plane from a reference meridian to a survey line.

It is an essential concept in surveying for determining the direction of lines accurately.

🔹 1. Whole Circle Bearing (W.C.B.)

• Bearing is measured clockwise from North.
• Values range from 0° to 360°.
• It does not use quadrant letters such as N, S, E or W.
• Example: A line may have a W.C.B. of θ°.

🔹 2. Quadrantal Bearing (Q.B.)

• Bearing is measured from the nearer North or South meridian toward East or West.
• The angle ranges from 0° to 90°.
• It is written with quadrant letters: NE, SE, SW and NW.
• Examples: N θ E, S θ E, S θ W and N θ W.

📌 Key Difference

W.C.B.: 0°–360°, measured clockwise from North.
Q.B.: 0°–90°, measured from North or South toward East or West.

Understanding bearings is fundamental for land surveying, traverse calculations, road alignment, construction layout and mapping. 🏗️📏

👉TESTS IN CONCRETE 🏗️ | Essential On-Site & Laboratory Tests

Concrete quality is checked through different tests to evaluate workability, uniformity, and compressive strength.

🔹 1. Rebound Hammer Test
A non-destructive test used on hardened concrete to estimate surface hardness and assess the uniformity of concrete.

Take multiple readings and use the appropriate correlation chart for strength estimation.

🔹 2. Slump Test
Used to determine the workability and consistency of fresh concrete.

The slump is measured after filling the slump cone in layers and compacting each layer with a tamping rod.

🔹 3. Compression Test
The compressive strength of hardened concrete is determined using a Compression Testing Machine (CTM).

Standard specimens such as 150 mm × 300 mm cylinders or 150 mm cubes may be tested depending on the applicable standard.

📐 Compressive Strength Formula:
f′c = P / A
Where:
• P = Ultimate load
• A = Cross-sectional area

📌 Important Points

• Use representative samples.
• Keep testing equipment properly calibrated.
• Follow the applicable local standards and testing procedures.
• Do not add water during slump testing.
• For rebound hammer testing, use a clean, suitable surface and avoid honeycombed or damaged areas.
• Test results should be interpreted by qualified personnel; rebound hammer results are estimates and should not replace proper strength testing when acceptance decisions are required.

🏗️ Key Takeaway

Rebound Hammer → Hardened concrete surface assessment
Slump Test → Fresh concrete

workability
Compression Test → Concrete compressive strength
