ERIC WING (VOICEOVER): Concrete footings

00:03

can be reinforced in a plethora of different ways.

00:07

Why?

00:07

Well, that's because footings support

00:09

a plethora of different items.

00:11

Also, there are different kinds of footings.

00:13

There are strip footings, isolated footings,

00:15

concrete pads, and grade beams, just to name a few.

00:19

What I'd like to do in this course

00:20

to stick to the more typical reinforcing configurations.

00:24

This allows you to explore how you would apply reinforcing

00:26

to footings in whatever specific situation you find yourself in.

00:30

First, we'll start off with configuring bends.

00:33

What happens is, when we manually place reinforcing,

00:36

we can configure the bends to be a calculation

00:38

of the actual rebar itself.

00:40

Then we're going to actually physically go in and add

00:42

reinforcing to a footing.

00:44

Again, there's a lot of different ways we can do this.

00:46

So in this video, we're going to stick to the basics.

00:49

And then we're going to configure the graphics.

00:51

The default way in which Revit shows reinforcing

00:53

isn't really the way I show reinforcing

00:56

or the way I think most people show reinforcing.

00:58

In the last video, we're going to look

00:60

at configuring the graphics to make the reinforcing look

01:02

the way you want it to look.

01:03

Now, let's jump in and add some rebar to some footings.
