AR 3.3 BUILDING CONSTRUCTION-III
L/s: 4/Wk Int: 50 End Exam: 50 Total: 100 End Exam: 5hrs Cr:4

Course Overview: 
The course focuses on understanding the potentials as well as shortcomings of RCC as a building material.

 Objectives of the Course:
 To introduce and expose the students to various ways in which RCC is used in building construction.  The course intends to impart the theory of reinforced concrete construction (in conjunction with the Theory of Structures which is a separate course), and practical knowledge through site visits to the construction sites.

Course Contents:
Unit - I Introduction to RCC:
Understanding the properties and characteristics of RCC. Its advantages and disadvantages.  Cast-in-situ and pre-cast constructional methods in RCC.

 Unit - II
 Understanding the structural components of a typical RCC frame structure with reference to their location, junctions, load transfer and design.

Unit III Substructure:
 RCC foundations – isolated footing (rectangular and trapezoidal footings), pile foundation, combined footing, raft foundation.

Unit – IV Superstructure:
 RCC columns – different shapes, different combinations and loading conditions (axial, bending, non axial), slenderness factor. RCC beams Single and doubly reinforced beams, T and L beams, continuous beams, lintels and brackets. RCC slabs – One way and two way slabs.

Unit - V Miscellaneous: 
RCC staircases and ramp – Waist slab and folded plate staircases. RCC Balconies, chajjas etc.
Unit VI Advanced concepts: Flat slab, coffered slab, diaphragms, retaining walls and water tanks.
Note: This is a studio subject and students should be made to prepare construction drawings as studio exercises along with the theoretical inputs. The studio work should be supplemented with appropriate side visits.

Factors influencing architecture and vernacular architecture

Factors influencing architecture and vernacular architecture    Factors that affect architectural design   Each project has a different set of requirements, limitations, challenges, and opportunities that affect a project’s cultural, environmental, technological, and aesthetic contexts. The 10 factors presented below are among the most influential.  CLIENT Some clients have a clear idea of a program, budget, and other project objectives, including the final appearance of the building. Others look to their architect to help them define the project objectives and to design a building that meets those objectives. In both cases the effectiveness of the relationship between client and architect is a major factor in making and implementing design decisions throughout the project. PROGRAM All clients have a series of aspirations, requirements, and limitations to be met in design. The program provides a place for identifying and delineating these factors and any number of r

UNIT V---METHODICAL APPROACH TO REPAIRS   CRACKS OVER OPENINGS :  The cracks over the windows had developed over many years due to rusting lintels.   Lintels are made of steel and support the brick over a window openings.     Rusting lintels are the number one reason cracks occur above window frames.    This generally is not a structural issue, but can develop into a structural issue if left unrepaired.  REPAIR :    The only true way to tell if a crack is active is to install a crack monitor.    The proper way to install a crack monitor is to epoxy the monitor to both sides of the crack and leave on the wall or foundation for as long as possible.    SINKING BALCONIES :   There are many things that can increase the risk of injury on a property.    Loose railings on decks and walkways are one of the areas that we need to be aware of.   Wood railing, iron railings, stucco, or even concrete have to be checked regularly to be safe.   The bolt holding the iro
