Introduction
This tutorial is explaining about simplest way to build RC (Reinforced Concrete) building located in Doha, Qatar. This
project is chosen as a sample for this tutorial because it is only small room and less material to use so that it becomes
relatively much easier to understand to be constructed by Civil Engineer. Some requirements are prepared to
commence constructing this building which is given in the video list below:
1st Tutorial : Short overview and Construction Stages (Structural Work)
2nd Tutorial : Finish Stages (Architectural Work)
3rd Tutorial : Step by Step Construction Schedule in Primavera P6 V16.2
4th Tutorial : Step by Step Construction Design in STAAD.Pro V8i SS6
Construction stage in the first tutorial was recorded in short video uploaded into Youtube, which is accessible through
this address https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eihemHVX3cU

1st Tutorial : Short overview and Construction Stages (Structural Work)
1. Project schedule
As the first step to understand this construction work, prior to begin this work, all major work items has to
be put inside giant schedule including planned duration as a basic requirement to provide labour, material,
equipment and cost.
We are operating Oracle Primavera P6 V16.2 as project schedule software to breakdown all necessary works
to be followed by field civil engineer. Besides explaining Primavara P6 in this tutorial, we also compare it with
MS Project 2016 to whom is familiar working in MS Project only.
Some main tasks in doing this project consist of Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) as a list below:
1. Foundation
2. Ground beam and slab
3. RC (Reinforced Concrete) and Steel column
4. Masonry / Concrete block
5. Roof frame and sheet
6. Finishes (Architectural and MEP Work)
This simple building will be constructed following the schedule below:

Expected final completion of this building can be seen in the figure below

3. Construction Stages
Physically, main construction stages of RC/Steel structure are following sequence figures below:
1. Soil Excavation for shallow foundation 2. Lean concrete and timber formwork for pad footing.
5. Strengthened formwork by adding some timbers to 6. Concrete pouring on the pad footing using Fc’35 MPa
prevent any damages while using vibrator. or C35/40

7. Formwork dismantling; in case any crack or 8. Timber formwork is provided as a casing of concrete
honeycomb on the concrete surface, it shall be pedestal
either rectified by Sika/Fosroc grouting or concrete
injection.
11. Reinforcement bar and timber formwork are 12. Make sure that all formworks have been
installed along ground beam line. strengthened on both side (in the picture, formwork
is strengthened one side only)

13. One day after concrete pouring, Formwork can be 14. Next step is to pour the concrete for column. Prior to
dismantled; in case any crack or honeycomb on the cast it, we have to fabricate timber formwork
concrete surface, it shall be either rectified by properly and fix it with additional support for
Sika/Fosroc grouting or concrete injection. Within 3 strengthening in order to reduce any damage while
days, this fresh concrete must be cured by clean using vibrator.
water to maintain temperature and shrinkage effect
15. One day after concrete pouring, Formwork can be 16. While fixing steel column on the ground beam and
dismantled; in case any crack or honeycomb on the concrete column, we shall backfill and compact the
concrete surface, it shall be either rectified by floor area as per requirement. Base plate and bolt
Sika/Fosroc grouting or concrete injection. Within 3 fixing is not visible in this picture. It will be discussed
days, this fresh concrete must be cured by clean in the further topic.
water to maintain temperature and shrinkage effect
17. Steel beam fixing and preparation for concrete floor 18. Final step is to install reinforcement bar (wiremesh)
can be done in the same time. After compaction, we for the concrete slab and concrete pouring as the last
have to apply polythene sheet, lean concrete and stage of this structural work. Curing by water on the
spacer to receive concrete cover for reinforcement RC slab within 3 days is a must to be done to achieve
bar (Wiremesh) expected quality as per requirement.
