Piers become useful in areas with unusual soils or sites which are steeply sloped. They are also used where the structure has unusually high loads1. The location and the spacing of piersdepend on the dimensions of the two storey dwelling. Also, the live and dead loads, the construction type (multi-section), the size of the I-beam, the footing size and the soil bearing capacity determine the location and spacing of the piers. The sketch (1a) of the plan view indicates the possible location of the piers.Sketch 1(b) shows a detailed use of void formers and reinforcement. The void formers are utilized in concrete structures because they reduce weight2. They form, shape and position openings. Sketch 1(c) is the slab edge beam section.B Question 2The sketch Question 2 is a joint between the external wall frames and the first-floor joists.
