INTRODUCTION

Main requires different types of building for his activities : houses, bungalows and flats for his living: hospitals and health centres for his health; schools, colleges and universities for his education, banks, shops, offices, buildings and factories for doing work, railway building, bus stations and air terminals for transportation, clubs, theatres and cinema house, temple, mosques, dharmshalas etc, for worship. Each type of the above buildings has its own requirements. The above building activities are an in portant indicator of the countrys social progress.

House, bungalows, flats, huts etc provide shelter to man. The first hut with bamboos and leaves can be taken as the first civil engineering construction carried out to satisfy the needs for a shelter. Before that, caves were his early abode. The history of development of housing facilities reveals that man has been moulding his environment throughout ages for more comfortable living.

Egyptians constructed hugs pyramids. The greens developed a style of proportions of building elements, there propositions are known as the orders of Architecture. Romans developed arches for vaults and domes. They used pozolona sand, mortar, plaster and concrete. During the gathic period of architecture churches with pointed arches and the side supporting masonry walls, vaults were constructed. The arched ribs were supported by stone pillars strengthened by buttresses. There structures led to the idea of framed structures.

The period from 1750 A.D. onwards in known as the period of modern Architecture. Due to economic pressure, after the war and due to industrial development, many new methods and materials of construction were developed. The use of reinforcement concrete construction triggered the rapid development of modern architecture. Functional, structural components such as columns, chajjas, cantilever, R.C.C. slabs become increasingly popular because of the increased speed in construction. Use of plywood, glass, decorative etc., helped the designers to make the new structures look more elegant. The main considerations in Architectural design of buildings for all purposes are as follows:-

Components of a building

A building has two basic parts:I. II. Sub Structures or foundation Superstructure

Sub Structures or foundation is the lower part of the building usually located below the ground level, which transmits the loads of the super structure to the supporting soil. Superstructure is that part of structure which is above ground level, And which serves the purpose of its intended use. A part of the superstructure, located between the ground level and floor level is known as plinth. A Building has main following components:a) Foundations b) Masonry units : walls and columns c) Floor structures d) Roof structures e) Doors, windows and openings f) Building finishes

8. Height Of Ceiling:- For main room of the building the height should to between 3.30m and 3.60m. It may to scheduled to 3m for bathroom and W.C.

9. Open Air Space For Ventilation:- Every room intended for human habitation shall about on interior open air space of the width as dimensions specified below: a) Front open space:- Minimum 3m but not less than 1.80m in day light. b) Rear open space:- Rear open yard should have an average width of 4.5m and at no place the yard will measure less than 3m. c) Side open space:- There must be at least 9m wide open space, at least one side of the residential house.

10. Ventilation Of The Building:- The purpose of ventilation is to permit fresh air to come inside the rooms and to remove polluted air, smoke. For effective Ventilation the total area of the Doors and Window should be 25% of the total area, 12.5% may be provided for Windows.

11. Orientation Of The Building:- In the Modern housing or in Urban Areas, the Architect or Engineer have very little flexibility to decide the Orientation of building. When the Area is developed for housing, the Road, sewer, water supply main lines and Electric line are already laid. The front of the House, has to fit with the front road and expect to locate the Building such that the by laws regarding the covered Area and set back from the front, back and sides. There is no flexibility available for the orientation of the building. However where certain flexibility is available such as in locating a farm house or on the Isolated Building, the following point may be kept in view: a) The orientation of the building should be such that the maximum benefit is obtained from Sun and Air. b) As far as possible building should be such that maximum benefit is obtained from Sun, Air, Northern Hemisphere so that low altitude Sun is available during Winter. c) In place subjected to Western wind the Building should face the Direction in which wind blows for most all the time during the year.

12. Double Storeyed Building:- The total floor area provided by the double storied building costs between 80-85% of the lost of equivalent floor area Wo t provided by a Single storied house. It is therefore economical to have two or three storied house. In view of the fact the available land for house Construction is limited the only way to meet ever increasing demand of housing is o resort the multi storeyed building.

13. Geometry Of The House:- As a rule it is more economical to have a square plan than an oblong one. The area occupied by the wall of an along house may be 25% larger than the corresponding area occupied by a square building. The house built on square plan keeps the house comparatively cooler in summer and warm in winter.

14. Room Locating And Common Size:- The common size and desirable locating of various components of a residential building are give below.

LAYOUT

Setting out the position of wall and foundation lines on the ground from the drawing is called as layout of building. Layout is done by foundational plans shown in the drawing. Detailed plans and drawing are prepared before actual execution of any project. For layout detailed plan of the area is required. Site plan and detailed are studied thoroughly and out of various walls. The longest outer wall is chosen as the base line. With the help of site plan and detailed plan length of the center line of the wall are calculated and center line plan of the building is prepared. Distance of center point of the outer corner of the building wall from the property line is noted on the center line plan. On the choosed base line marks the corner points. These points can be located on the ground easily from the site plan, detailed plan and center line plan. The distance between the center to center corners points of the base line from the center line plan. Now pegs are down at these corners

center points. This center line can be mark on the ground by lime powder by stretching tightly a string between them. Now using the base line and using length of various center lines which are calculated on center line plan. All other center lines are marked and pegs are driven at their extremities. All the pegs so driven lie on the center line of various walls. At all these pegs show width of the foundational trench similarly at all the center corner pegs addition pegs one on the outer side and one on the inner side are driven showing the width of the trench to be excavated. After this the excavation lines are marked on the ground by the stretching string turn by turn between corresponding outer and inner pegs, thus foundation is completely trace on the ground. Thick nails are driven on the top of pegs. Once the excavation of the foundation trenches is started, excavation line and center line will also get excavated and will not remain available for checking purpose. Masonry pillars constructed at 900 at trench corner of the building. The height of masonry pillars is kept at plinth level of the building. The height of masonry pillars is kept at plinth level of the building. All such pillars shall be kept at the same level with the help of dummy level. The top surface of the pillars is plastered and position

Showing corresponding center line, excavation lines are marked by making groove in pillars. The pillars should not be destroyed till the foundation work is completed. If due to some reason it is not possible to construct masonry pillars alternative arrangement must be made to serve the purpose of masonry pillars. After ground tracing or layout has been completed with respect to center line of walls, diagonals of rectangular or square rooms should be equal if they are not equal adjustments are done at the site before pegs are driven finally. Right angles in the ground tracing may be set up using 3.4 and 5 meter length of the tape. Before starting excavation, the strings are stretched between the outside lines of the foundation trench marked over the masonry pillars and the cutting lines are marked on the ground by lime powder.
