One-way-solid slab flexible but limited in span. one way concrete joist system allows longer spans. Wide module or skip system allows longer span and uses less concrete than the one-way joist system. Slab bands or joist bands may be used with these systems, They serve to reduce the spans of the slabs to conserve headroom in the building. Two- way-2 way solid slab rarely used but useful where loads are heavy. Two-way flat slab good for heavy loading, two-way flat plate good for lighter floor loading. Very flexible in column locations. Conserves headroom in buildings. Two-way concrete joists or waffle systems good for long spans.

What is a wind girt?
A wind girt is a structural member within a wall that provides additional strength to a wall in order to resist the forces on a wall as a result of wind pressure. Wind girts are primarily metal, wood or reinforced concrete and usually match the type of material used for the rest of the structure. Wind girts typically run horizontally between two vertical framing members or columns although wind girts can run vertically. The number of wind girts in a wall vary by the bending strength of the wind girt, the height of the wall, the distance between the vertical structural members, and the maximum speed of the wind that the wall is exposed to. Wind girts are designed to counteract both positive (pushing) pressure (windward side) and negative (sucking) pressure (leeward side) that is exerted on the structure. Wind girts generally provide a fastening point for interior and exterior surface materials.
Do new brick houses have steel or wood frames?
Unless it is a commercial building a normal house would not have a steel frame. It would have wood. If you were to look at your wall, what you initially see is 'drywall' when that is pulled off you will see insulation, when that is pulled out you will see wires (electrical do NOT touch unless the electricity in the whole house is off. If you do not know about electricity don't even attempt this!!) you will then see wood framing, that will be screwed to the brick or somehow otherwise attached. Please do not attempt to rip down walls without consulting a professional. You need certain permits to remove certain walls, or the house structure will be compromised. Get a contractor or a carpenter in your house to access if the wall can be removed!

What is the average cost of concrete footings per lineal foot?
The average cost of concrete footings per linear foot can vary widely depending on factors such as location, size, and depth of the footing. On average, you can expect to pay around $10 to $20 per linear foot for concrete footings, but this can increase significantly for deeper or larger footings. It is recommended to get quotes from local contractors to get a more accurate estimate for your specific project.
How do i repair rotting framing on a concrete slabs?
Remove rotted material from the wall and re-frame it using pressure treated lumber or a foam or tar paper membrane between the bottom plate and the concrete.
Should I use treated or untreated 2X4's for framing a wall on a pole barn with a concrete floor?

What is the definition of finish work?
Usually in construction, the end process of building something. It connotes skilled labor and attention to details. The opposite would be called "framing" or "roughing in". Putting up walls and joists would be considered "framing", putting up drywall, taping, and painting would be considered "finish work". Building or hanging cabinets would be considered framing, adding trim, molding, and knobs and such would be finish work. In concrete, laying forms, and pouring the concrete would be "forming" (instead of framing in this instance) and trowling and brushing would be finish work.
I am considering finishing my basement. Can a power nailer drive a framing nail into a concrete basement wall to anchor the frame to the wall?
No. That would be very dangerous. In the US, pre-drill a hole through the framing and into the concrete with a masonry bit and install what is referred in the trades as a "Tapcon" screw. The concrete should be penetrated a minimum of 3/4". Ask for Tapcon screws at any hardware or home improvement store, and follow the instructions on the box.
What are the two most common framing distances as given on a framing square?
There is only one common framing distance in a framing square. The main framing distance in a framing square is a steel square.
What is the constant value from cubic meter of concrete to determine weight of rebar?
There is no constant value for the ratio of the rebars and concrete volume. The rebars depends on the structural designer's safety factor and the factors affecting the framing like wind, earthquake and soil.
