Hi, i constructed a G+1 house - 1150 sq ft in ground floor and 1000 sq ft in first floor. I have used 17 columns of size 9" * 9" (used six 12 mm rods for each column). The center to center distance between the columns is 12.5 feet, hence the length of rod (with crank) is 13.25 feet. I have had a 15" beam including 5" roof slab for ground floor. But had only 9" beam including 5" roof slab. I have used five 12 mm rods for beams (six 12 mm rods wherever no walls available under the beam). I am worried about the beam of first floor as its just 9" size - Please let me know if that will be enough to hold the load or should we make any alterations?
You rascal - Chad Miller, why the hell you are shouting at me. If you don't want to answer, you just ignore my post. Do you know the house was constructed by an engineer only. I had a doubt on that engineers design and wanted to get clarified from a forum.

senthi - I didn't shout at you. SHOUTING would be in all caps.
Hire another engineer to verify the design you cheap son of a bitch.
Without a drawing or reference to what you're asking about, we can't provide you much feedback. Moreover, if you ask for professional advice like this (structural engineering consultation) on the forum, our community members are going to make fun of you.
We welcome all kinds of questions, but this wouldn't be the proper place to seek structural calculations or specialized consults that require a professional license.

That was waaay to polite. Just tell the OP not be a cheap ass bastard. ;)
If you do not know that it is safe then it is not safe. If you are unable to determine that it is safe, then hire a professional. They will tell you. They will correct it and then bill you for it. You will pay the bill.
If you do not know how to swim, keep your ass out of the pool. If you don't know how to competently design a building then leave it to the professionals that invested the time and money to learn and develop their professional skills.

What do you propose? More water or less water? I would make the pool safer by deleting the pool from the building plans and replace it with a pool table.
Is my design safe?

Hire a structural engineer you cheap bastard.
Hire a professional if you want answers.
free advice: that too little steel. needs to be x2 what you list at minimum.
Actually he needs only 23.333% more steel.

Oh Chad, you rascal. You silly goose.
I'm a silly duck, not a goose.
That's exactly what a goose would say.
Honk, I mean quack
Is it safe? Yes, it's safe, it's very safe, it's so safe you wouldn't believe it.
Thanks for posting,

Is this building already constructed? Send pictures please.

Protests.
You're right. It needs to be a snooker table.
When people say double the amount of steel, just put columns every 6.25 feet...
Nah, don't listen to any of the members above. Based on the quality information you have provided I can tell you that you are safe. Go ahead!
Anyone who's ever seen Marathon Man will never think of anything else when they hear that question.
