Engineer I Have A Query and I Send You Images

The document discusses calculating the formwork area for beams and columns. It provides dimensions for sample beams and columns and calculates their formwork areas. It also discusses how to calculate the formwork area for beams that contact slabs, noting that the entire height of the beam face would be painted, not just up to the slab height. Revit is used to model and calculate formwork areas for different beam scenarios.

To make it clearer, we are going to use an image where the formwork area is indicated in banked beams.

As you know in my previous article I wrote about Revit ids and it is because I like programming related topics

I have tested this issue with the Revit API and have come up with the results we need.

With the help of the API, we obtain the value of the beam formwork area
Remembering that:

Beam formwork = 0.6 x 2 + 0.3 x 2 + (0.6 x 2 - 1 x 0.15) = 1.8 - 1.05 = 2.85 m2

We could also calculate the area that has contact with the slab

We proceed to corroborate it in Revit, for this we model a slab, which has the following dimensions:

Thickness = 0.15 meters

Width = 1.00 meter

Length = 1.50 meters

In this case the width is the one that is in contact with the beam, so we are in a case of a corner beam.
We already have our beam with paint with the same dimensions that was analyzed in case 2, we need to know the
