 FOOTING
• Load Distribution: Footings distribute the weight of the building evenly over a larger area of soil to prevent settlement and
ensure stability.
• Types of Footings: Common types include spread footings (isolated footings), strip footings (continuous footings), and raft
foundations, each chosen based on soil conditions and building requirements.
• Design Considerations: Footings are designed based on factors such as soil bearing capacity, building loads, local building
codes, and structural engineering principles.
• Construction Process: Excavation is carried out to the required depth and dimensions, followed by the placement of
reinforcement bars (rebar) and pouring of concrete to create the footing.
• Quality Control: Quality checks are performed during construction to ensure proper alignment, dimensions, reinforcement
placement, and concrete strength, adhering to engineering specifications.
 PLINTH
• Function: It provides a level surface for supporting the walls and distributing the load of the structure evenly to the
foundation.
• Elevation: The plinth elevates the building slightly above the ground level, protecting it from moisture and potential water
damage.
• Height: The height of the plinth varies depending on factors such as building design, local building codes, and site
conditions, typically ranging from a few inches to a few feet.In this building it is 3 ft from ground level.
• Construction: Plinths are usually constructed using materials like brickwork, stone masonry, or reinforced concrete, with
proper bonding and leveling techniques
• Finish: The plinth may be finished with materials such as plaster or cladding to enhance its appearance and provide
additional protection against weathering.
 COLUMN
• Definition: Columns are vertical structural elements that primarily support loads from above and transfer them to the
foundation.
• Types: Common types include reinforced concrete columns, steel columns, wooden columns, and composite columns, each
with specific applications and structural characteristics.
• Function: Columns provide vertical support for beams, slabs, and other structural members, distributing the load evenly to
prevent sagging or structural failure.
• Cross section: Column design used in this building are round and rectangular having specification as followed:

Number of rectangular column = 54

Number of circular column = 25
Height of column ( GL to terrace ) = 31 ft ( 29 +2 )
 COLUMN
• The cutting length is the length of the reinforcement bar required to fabricate the stirrup, including the additional length
needed for bends and overlap.
• Here's a general formula to calculate the cutting length of stirrups:

• Cutting Length (CL)=L-(N×B)+Hook

Where:
• L = Length along the path where the stirrup will be placed
• N = Number of bends
• B = Length of each bend (typically a multiple of the diameter of the reinforcement bar)
• Hook= Additional length required for overlap and anchorage (usually 10d )
• Values of B are given below

 SCAFFOLDING AND SUPPORT
• Scaffolding is a temporary structure erected to support workers and materials during construction, maintenance, or repair
of buildings and structures. Supports, on the other hand, provide permanent or temporary reinforcement to maintain the
stability or load-bearing capacity of a structure.
• Temporary supports, such as scaffolding, shoring, and props, are used during construction to provide additional
reinforcement and stability to structures under construction, renovation, or repair.
 BEAM
• Definition: Beams are horizontal structural elements that primarily carry vertical loads, such as the weight of the structure
above, and transfer them to the vertical supports (such as columns or walls) or to the foundation.
• Types: Common types include wood beams, steel beams, reinforced concrete beams, and composite beams. Each type has
unique properties and applications based on factors like load-bearing capacity, span length, and structural requirements.
• Function: Beams provide support and stability to the structure by resisting bending and transferring loads to the supports.
They distribute loads evenly along their length and help prevent sagging or deflection in floors, roofs, and other structural
elements
• Cross-Sectional Shapes: Beams can have various cross-sectional shapes, including rectangular, square, circular, I-shaped (I-
beams), T-shaped (T-beams), and L-shaped (angle beams). The choice of shape depends on structural requirements and
design considerations.
• Specifications of beam used in stucture are as
followed :
 SLAB
• Definition: Slabs are horizontal structural elements used to create floors, ceilings, or roof surfaces within a building. They
provide a level surface for walking, living, or supporting equipment and furnishings.
• Materials: Slabs can be constructed using various materials, including reinforced concrete( M25 USED ), precast concrete,
composite materials, and steel. The choice of material depends on factors such as structural design, budget, and
construction method.
• Thickness: The thickness of a slab depends on factors such as span length, load requirements, and material properties.
Engineers calculate the appropriate thickness to ensure structural integrity and prevent deflection or cracking under load.In
this case of construction thickness of slab provided is 6 inches .
• Reinforcement: Reinforced concrete slabs incorporate steel reinforcement bars (rebar) within the concrete to enhance
strength, durability, and resistance to bending and shear forces. The reinforcement is placed according to structural design
requirements.
 BRICKWORK
One of the primary purposes of brickwork is to provide
• Structural Support
• Enclosure and Partition
• Protection from Elements
• Aesthetic Appeal

The mortar ratio for brickwork refers to the proportion of

cement, sand, and water used to create the mortar that
holds bricks together in a wall. The mortar ratio is
typically specified in terms of the volume of cement
to sand to water.

A common mortar ratio used in brickwork is 1:4 to 1:6,

which means:
• 1 part cement
• 4 to 6 parts sand
• Water as needed for workability
 PLASTER
Plastering serves several essential purposes in construction:

Aesthetic Enhancement
Thermal Insulation
Sound Insulation
Structural Stability

Certain types of plaster, especially those containing gypsum, exhibit fire-resistant properties, thereby enhancing the fire
safety of the structure.

• Plastering: Usually ranges from 1:3 to 1:6 (cement:sand), again depending on factors such as the substrate, desired finish,
and environmental conditions.
• Pointing: Often uses a stronger mix, such as 1:1:6 (cement:lime:sand), to enhance durability and weather resistance.
