Abstract:
The basic requirements of good reinforced concrete detailing are clarity and conciseness. Unfortunately, there has been a steady deterioration in the quality and quantity of drawings supplied for reinforced concrete over the last twenty years. The net result of poor quality drawings is increased costs in the material supply and construction sectors and unacceptable levels of dispute. The aim of this manual is to guide designers, draftsmen and other professionals toward a uniform method of communicating the design intention to the construction team so that confusion cannot arise from the misinterpretation of the drawings.
