Proposed Second Floor Slab

Here is the proposed December construction project.

  1.  Change the existing G.I. roof above the bedroom into a concrete second floor slab to make the roof sturdy as it is being used as a garden.
  2.  Move the computer room to the front of the property to prevent customers from getting access to other parts of the house.
  3.  Merge the existing computer room and bedroom into a single open area to function as a sala and dining room.
  4.  Convert the existing sala/dining area into a two-bedroom area.
  5.  Raise the floor line above the road grade line.

  1. Both are ok but fig 3 is easier to execute because you don’t have to demolish portions of the existing wall. Figure 4 is less “obstructive” though.

  2. On the proposed partitioning, occupants of the 3 bedrooms might not be able to get out if fire breaks out in the dining area. Just my thoughts…

  3. Thanks, I’ll modify the floor plan later. There is an existing door facing the garage at room 2. I’ll probably have to keep it as it is.

  4. You could make the 5.6m beam bigger (say 8 x 16mm) and the columns supporting it bigger than usual (say 8 x 16mm). Consider placing a stiffener beam across the left and right beams. Your beam structure would look like an ocho. Without this stiffener beam (4 x 12mm), papagpag yung slab mo pag nag-jumping jack ka. The sizes I mentioned presume that the “roof deck” would, in the future, become a room with a GI roof above it.

  5. Okay naman except:
    Left columns: 8 x 16mm, right columns: 6 x 16mm (overdesigned yung 7)
    Footings: 1m x 1m, depth of 1.5m is ok
    Beams: Yung 2 pcs na 7 x 16mm, you could reduce these to 2 pcs 6 x 16mm
    Slab: ok, or as discussed

  6. Don’t forget to include in your estimate the forms (1/2″ thick form plywood) and scaffolds (2″ x 3″ coco lumber) that would support the beams and the slab. You will also use a significant amount of GI wire.

    Concrete mix is 1:2:4 (cement: sand: gravel) by volume

  7. Apparently all the project owner wants, due to budget constraint, is to have a sturdy roof above the area. The structure design is typical for a bungalow (except for the use of 8mm as stirrups) and if we could surmise that the weight of the slab is close to the weight of trusses and GI roof if it was a bungalow, then it’d be well and good.

    Consider reducing the thickness of the slab to reduce the load on the beams and columns. You save more by doing so and make the structure “safer” for the present occupants (but not for people who would use and probably modify its use later).

  8. Sobrang haba ng bends pero pwede na yan; sayang kung puputulin. Yung corner columns, maitatayo ba kung ganyan ang direction ng bends? Stirrups look ok.
