Concrete
Three types of substructure
Slab on fill, crawl space, basement
Transfers the load to the earth at the base of the column/wall of the substructure
Shallow foundation
Transfers the load at a point far below the substructure
Deep foundation
A layer of coarse granular materials placed and compacted on undisturbed soil to prevent the capillary rise of moisture
Base coarse

Structural member whose prime function is to carry transverse loads
Beam
Materials smaller than 9mm diameter
Fine aggregate
Materials over 9mm in size
Coarse aggregate
Max time for concrete to be discharged after the water is poured to the batch
1 1/2 hours
Material other than water aggregate lime or cement used as an ingredient in concrete or mortar added to the batch immediately before or during the mix
Admixture
The main reinforcements are place at right angle perpendicular to the wall uniformly spaced with each other and longitudinal reinforcement parallel with the wall
Wall footing
Voids left in the concrete owing to the failure of the mortar to fill effectively the space among coarse aggregate particles
