@ Hamid thanks for your post.
can you please confirm what is the purpose of beam at 8.5 ft?
Beam will make ur structure more load bearing and help against earth quake
Load bearing walls or column based structure for Lahore?
@Pakistani
i have told about Islamabad construction practice
@Pakistni @HT @Hamid
pardon me please. I could not understand the need of beam at 8.5 ft. Is it commonly used considering i already have columns in place.
please shed some light on it.
thank you.
AOA,
Columns without beams is useless. Beams transfer the weight equally towards each pillar. In this way the pressure is broken into few kgs per sq inch. Than the pillars transfer that pressure to DPC which further breaks the pressure per sq inch and transfer into the ground.
So if you have only pillars and incase God forbids an earth quake happens one push towards one pillar will have drastic effects. ALLAH PAK REHAM KAREY.
Plus pillars alone cannot hold the weight of the roof in an emergency.
Normally we have beams at 7 feet all around the house making it a 3D map which is much more secure.
Lahore is suppose to be free of any earth quakes but than few years back Islamabad was free aswell. A house is for at least 2 generations.
Kindly make your decision wisely
@ HT
thank you sir your feedback is always appreciated. Jazakallah.
@ HT
is that beam at 7 feet is called "tegha" in our local masonry terms?
thank you.
No brother its not called tegha…
Tegha is a '‘jaggar’'not a beam
