In footing (mat) if two different dia of rods are to be used
which rod should be placed at top and bottom ( eg. 10mm &
16mm dia rods)

Answer Posted / gurmeet

it will be smaller dia bars which will be placed at bottom
because the bottom part will be under compression and the
upper part will be under tension. This is because the base
preassure is acting from downward direction.
