👉Column Construction – Build Strong. Build Right. :

🔑 Key Details of Column Construction

- Reinforcement Cage
- Stirrups tied with a 135° hook for strong anchorage.
- Maintain minimum 8-inch spacing between stirrups for proper confinement.
- Use ½" diameter longitudinal bars with ¼" stirrups as per code.

- Concrete Pouring
- Ensure concrete achieves at least 2,500 psi strength for durability and safety.

- Concrete Vibration
- Apply a concrete vibrator to remove air pockets, improve compaction, and reduce water permeability.

- Formwork
- Use quality wooden planks for accurate alignment and smooth finish.

- Plumb Bob
- Always check vertical alignment with a plumb bob to keep the column perfectly straight.

📌 Notes

- Proper reinforcement and spacing ensure structural integrity.
- Vibration and compaction are critical for long-term durability.
- Accurate formwork and alignment prevent structural defects.

📜Caption:-Strong columns = strong structures. Precision in reinforcement, concrete, and alignment builds safety into every project.
