Shoring is the construction of a temporary structure to support an unsafe or unstable structure. There are three main types of shoring: raking shores, flying shores, and dead shores. Raking shores use inclined members called rakers to provide lateral support to walls. Flying shores provide temporary support between party walls when an intermediate building is demolished. Dead shores provide vertical support to walls and structures when the lower part of a wall is removed, such as to add an opening.
Dampness in buildings can cause health issues and damage to the structure. It is caused by factors like rain penetration, soil drainage issues, and defective construction. Remedies include installing damp proofing courses of flexible or rigid materials at locations like foundation level, parapets, and windowsills. Proper ventilation and moisture management can also help reduce excessive moisture in homes.

Foundation design considers factors like soil type, structural requirements, construction requirements, site conditions, and cost. The document also discusses waterproofing, drainage, and underpinning foundations.
Concrete is a composite material made by binding aggregates with a cement paste. It comes in various types depending on the binding material (cement or lime) and purpose (plain, reinforced, pre-stressed). Good concrete has strength, durability, density, water tightness, workability and resistance to wear and tear. Proper mixing, placing, compaction and curing are required to develop these qualities in concrete.
Footings are structural members that support columns and walls and transmit their loads to the soil. Different types of footings include wall footings, isolated/single footings, combined footings, cantilever/strap footings, continuous footings, rafted/mat foundations, and pile caps. Footings must be designed to safely carry and transmit loads to the soil while meeting code requirements regarding bearing capacity, settlement, reinforcement, and shear strength. A proper footing design involves determining loads, allowable soil pressure, reinforcement requirements, and assessing settlement.

Urban heat islands occur where cities are warmer than surrounding rural areas due to factors like lack of vegetation and heat-absorbing surfaces. Light pollution disrupts ecosystems, observatories
This document discusses the functions of commercial banks. It begins by defining a bank as a financial intermediary that takes deposits from savers and lends those funds to borrowers. It then describes the key functions of commercial banks, which include accepting deposits, lending loans, facilitating payments through checks, transferring funds, and providing various agency services. Commercial banks also engage in credit creation by lending out more money than they hold in deposits. The document outlines other services commercial banks provide and principles of sound banking, including maintaining adequate liquidity and expanding access. It concludes by explaining the role and functions of central banks, such as issuing currency, advising governments, overseeing commercial banks, and facilitating interbank clearing.
National income is defined as the total value of final goods and services produced in a country in a year. It is measured in monetary terms as it is not possible to add different goods measured in physical units. GDP, GNP, NNP, NDP are the key concepts used to measure national income using methods like product, income and expenditure. National income accounts help analyze economic growth, productivity and guide policymaking. Issues in estimating national income include exclusion of non-monetized and informal sectors in developing countries.
Inflation is defined as a sustained increase in the overall price level in an economy. There are several views on the causes of inflation. Monetarists believe inflation is always a monetary phenomenon caused by an increase in the money supply. Keynes argued inflation occurs when aggregate demand exceeds aggregate supply after full employment is reached. Common causes of inflation include demand-pull (excess demand) and cost-push (rising production costs). Inflation can take different forms such as creeping inflation (slow price increases) or hyperinflation (rapid price increases). While moderate inflation may stimulate investment and growth, high inflation negatively impacts those on fixed incomes and makes planning difficult.
This document defines money and discusses its key functions. It notes that money acts as a medium of exchange, unit of account, standard of deferred payment, store of value, and means of transferring value.

It aims to achieve free flow of traffic with minimal accidents. Key aspects studied include traffic characteristics, volumes, speeds, origins/destinations, flow, capacity, parking, and accidents. Data is collected through surveys and analysis informs planning, design, operation, and management of road infrastructure.
The document discusses various aggressive environments that can affect concrete structures, including:
- Alkali-aggregate reaction, where certain aggregates react with alkalis in cement and cause expansion cracking. Factors like aggregate type, cement alkali content, temperature and moisture play a role.
- Sulphate attack, where sulphates react with cement compounds and form gypsum and other products, increasing volume and causing disruption. Magnesium sulphate is particularly damaging.
- Chloride attack, where chlorides can penetrate concrete and lead to corrosion of embedded steel reinforcement by disrupting the protective oxide layer.
- Acid attack, where acids below a pH of around 6.5 can dissolve cement
The document provides an overview of concrete technology, including its history, composition, strength mechanism, current practices, and future trends. It discusses how the ancient Egyptians and Romans used early forms of concrete and mortar in construction. The modern development of cement began with John Smeaton in the 18th century and Joseph Aspdin's invention of Portland cement in the 19th century. The document also describes the typical ingredients of concrete - cement, aggregate, sand, water and admixtures - and how hydration of cement provides the binding strength. Current and emerging concrete types like self-compacting concrete, high performance concrete, fly ash concrete and biological/self-healing concrete are summarized.
The document discusses the economic reforms in India and their implications. It provides background on the economic reforms initiated in 1985 which aimed to assign a greater role to the private sector. The industrial policy statement of 1991 further liberalized the economy by abolishing licensing and opening all sectors to competition. While some states like Gujarat and Maharashtra benefited greatly, growing over 8% annually, other states like Bihar and UP saw slower growth. This led to rising inequality among Indian states in the post-reform period, with implications for balanced regional development and poverty reduction. The divergent state growth patterns require addressing state-specific deficiencies to mitigate regional differences going forward.
Public finance deals with government revenue sources like taxes and expenditures on areas like infrastructure, education, and health. It aims to stabilize the economy, promote growth, and provide essential public goods. Government budgets classify spending into areas and sources of revenue like taxes. A budget deficit occurs when spending exceeds taxes, while a surplus exists when taxes are higher than spending. Deficit financing allows governments to fund spending by borrowing or money creation, but too much can crowd out private investment and cause inflation. Fiscal policy uses taxes and spending to influence employment, growth, and prices.
This document discusses mortars and plasters used in building construction. It defines mortars as mixtures used for joining bricks and stones, typically consisting of aggregates like sand and a binding material like lime or cement. It describes the different types of traditional mortars used in ancient structures like the pyramids of Egypt.

Walls can be classified in several ways including by their load bearing ability, material used, and intended use. Load bearing walls support structural loads like floors and roofs while non-load bearing walls only support themselves. Materials used include brick, stone, concrete, wood and more. Walls are also classified by their intended use such as partition walls which divide interior space into rooms. Proper wall selection depends on factors like aesthetics, enclosure needs, acoustics, and thermal performance.
Space frames are rigid, lightweight structures constructed from interlocking struts arranged in geometric patterns. They can span large areas with few interior supports due to their inherent rigidity from triangular formations that transmit loads as tension and compression. Folded plate structures are assemblies of rigidly connected flat plates that can carry loads without interior beams. They were first used in 1923 for an aircraft hangar roof in Paris and take inspiration from structures in nature like tree leaves. Cable structures have cables as their primary load-bearing elements and are often used in bridges and roofs to transmit loads between supports.

However, the document outlines characteristics of polymaths such as cultivating curiosity, multiple passions and interests, and not worrying about perfection in order to bring back the Renaissance ideal of a well-rounded thinker.
Godfather-like figures organize complex crash for cash schemes involving staged, induced, and ghost crashes to fraudulently obtain insurance payouts. They recruit drivers, passengers, and professional enablers like doctors and repair shops to carry out the schemes, which can net up to £30,000 per crash. The schemes cost insurers millions each year and ultimately increase premiums for all policyholders.
The document discusses arguments for and against lowering the minimum voting age. It notes that while most countries have the age set at 18, some have it as low as 16. Advocates argue that 16-year-olds have adult responsibilities and should have a say, and research shows lower ages increase youth participation without lowering vote quality. However, others argue younger people lack maturity. Countries experimenting with lower ages often do so incrementally. Overall it is a complex debate that intersects with issues of children's rights.
The document provides an overview of the ecological footprint concept. It defines ecological footprint as a method that measures human demand on nature against the Earth's biological capacity to regenerate resources and absorb waste. Key points include:
- Humanity's ecological footprint has exceeded the Earth's biocapacity since the 1970s, meaning more than 1 Earth is needed each year to replenish what is used.
- The ecological footprint is calculated by adding up the productive land and sea area required to produce the resources an individual, group, or activity consumes and absorb their waste, expressed in global hectares.
- Many countries and individuals have an ecological deficit, using more than what local ecosystems can regenerate.
Urban Heat Island Effect occurs when urban areas become significantly warmer than surrounding rural areas due to human activities and infrastructure that replace open land and vegetation. Impervious surfaces like concrete and asphalt absorb and re-emit more solar radiation than natural landscapes, causing surface and ambient air temperatures to increase in cities. Additional factors like reduced evapotranspiration from plants, waste heat from energy usage, and decreased wind speed between buildings exacerbate the higher temperatures. As temperatures rise, greater air conditioning usage produces more waste heat in a self-perpetuating cycle of increasing the Urban Heat Island Effect.
Communication is the exchange of information between individuals through a common system of symbols, signs or behavior. It involves five main steps - ideation, encoding, transmission, decoding and response. Communication can occur through different levels like interpersonal, group, organizational and mass communication. Effective communication requires good command over language and follows certain characteristics. Technical communication is more formal in style and involves technical vocabulary or graphics. It plays a pivotal role in organizations and their success depends on quality information flow. Some important books and Ted talks on developing strong communication skills are also mentioned.

The Charter for Compassion aims to promote compassion as a core value globally.
Copper has natural antimicrobial properties that have been exploited for centuries. It kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi through mechanisms like oxidative stress and damage to cell membranes and proteins. Recent clinical studies show copper alloys reduce bacterial contamination on high-touch surfaces in hospitals by 90-100% compared to other materials like stainless steel. The EPA has approved copper alloys as antimicrobial materials due to their ability to reduce MRSA and E. coli levels by over 99.9% within 2 hours of contact under laboratory conditions. However, while copper was widely used historically, other modern materials have replaced it despite its benefits for infection control.
The Liuzhou Forest City in China will be the world's first forest city, where all buildings are covered in greenery. Designed by Stefano Boeri Architetti, the city will house 30,000 inhabitants in buildings surrounded by over 40,000 trees and 1 million plants. The extensive greenery is intended to absorb air pollutants and carbon emissions while producing oxygen. In addition to environmental benefits, the forest city aims to be self-sufficient through geothermal and solar energy use. Construction is slated to begin in 2020.
Automotive vehicles are increasingly automated and connected to wireless networks, leaving them vulnerable to remote hacking attacks. Security researchers have demonstrated how hackers could potentially access a vehicle's internal computer systems to disable brakes or engine controls from a distance. Recent studies show many modern vehicles built after 2005 are at risk if automakers do not address vulnerabilities in wireless infotainment and connectivity systems that could allow unauthorized remote access and control over critical functions.

Networking is a telecommunications network that allows computers to exchange data. In
computer networks, networked computing devices pass data to each other along data
connections. Data is transferred in the form of packets. The connections between nodes are
established using either cable media or wireless media.
A high-Speed Communication System is based on the Design of a Bi-NoC Router, ...DharmaBanothu
The Network on Chip (NoC) has emerged as an effective
solution for intercommunication infrastructure within System on
Chip (SoC) designs, overcoming the limitations of traditional
methods that face significant bottlenecks. However, the complexity
of NoC design presents numerous challenges related to
performance metrics such as scalability, latency, power
consumption, and signal integrity. This project addresses the
issues within the router's memory unit and proposes an enhanced
memory structure. To achieve efficient data transfer, FIFO buffers
are implemented in distributed RAM and virtual channels for
FPGA-based NoC. The project introduces advanced FIFO-based
memory units within the NoC router, assessing their performance
in a Bi-directional NoC (Bi-NoC) configuration. The primary
objective is to reduce the router's workload while enhancing the
FIFO internal structure. To further improve data transfer speed,
a Bi-NoC with a self-configurable intercommunication channel is
suggested. Simulation and synthesis results demonstrate
guaranteed throughput, predictable latency, and equitable
network access, showing significant improvement over previous
designs

pictures, houses, assembly halls, restaurants
assembly halls.
• Business buildings: These buildings are used for
transactions of business, for keeping accounts and
for similar other purposes.
• Mercantile building: These building are used as
shops, stores, market for display and sale of
merchandise either wholesale or retail, office,
shops, storage services.
76. • IndustrialBuildings:These are buildings where
products or materials of all kinds and properties
are fabricated, assembled, manufactured or
processed
• Storage Buildings: these buildings are used
primarily for the storage or sheltering of goods,
wares or merchandise, vehicles and animals,
grains
• Hazardous Buildings: These buildings are used for
the storage, handling, manufacturing or
processing of highly combustible or explosive
materials or products
77. Classification Based On Structure
• Load bearing Structure
• Framed structure
• Load Bearing Structures: In this type of
structures loads from roof slab or trusses and
floors are transmitted through walls to the firm
soil below the ground .This type of structures are
adopted where hard strata are available at
shallow depth. The structural elements like
beams, slabs rests directly on the walls.
78.
79. • Framed Structures: Reinforced cement concrete
structures are the most common type of
construction today. They consist of a skeleton of
beams & columns. The load is transferred from
beams to the columns and column intern transfer
the load directly to the sub soil through footing.
Framed structures are suitable for multi-storey
building subjected to variety of extreme loads like
compressive, tensile torsion, shear along with
moment.
• The open spaces in the skeleton are to be
filled with brick walls or glass panels.
80.
81. Types of Loads
• Various loads are taken into account while
designing the foundation of a structure.
• Dead loads;
• Live load;
• Wind loads;
• Earthquake loads;
• Erection loads; and
82. • Dead Load: Dead load comprises of the weight of all
walls, partitions, floors and roofs including all other
permanent construction in the building
• Wind load: It is considered as basic wind pressure
pressure in thewhich is equivalent static
direction of the wind
• Wind pressure= k v2
• Where k= co-efficient, 0.006
• V= wind velocity
• Wind pressure always acts in the vertically
exposed surface of the walls and columns.
83. • Snow load: Actual load due to snow depends
upon the shape of the roof and its capacity to
retain the snow. The load due to snow may be
assumed to be 2.5 kg/m3 per cm depth of snow
• Earthquake load: an earthquake load produced
waves in every possible direction below ground.
As per intensity or scale of earthquake, jerks and
shocks are acting on the earth. As per the location
of the building in the prescribed zone of
earthquake coefficients of earthquake loads are
decided.
84. • Live Load: Live Loads consist of moving or
variable loads due to people or occupants,
their furniture, temporary stores, machineries.
• Erection Load: All loads required to be
carried by the structure or any part of it due to
storage or positioning of construction material
and erection equipment including all loads due
to operation of such equipment, shall be
• considered as ‘ erection loads
87. Principles And Building Planning
• The term planning of a building refers to mean
the arrangement of all the units of a building
on all the floors and at all the levels.
• There are certain general principles which as a
engineer should bear in mind while planning a
building.
88. The General Principles Are
• Aspect
• Prospect
• Privacy
• Grouping
• Roominess
• Flexibility
• Furniture requirements
• Circulation
• Elegance
• Economy
• Sanitation
89. Aspect
• Aspect: different rooms of the buildings are placed and located accordingly to the
functional utility in such a way that maximum advantage of natural elements like
sun, wind, can be obtained. To obtain sufficient sunlight inside the room windows
are placed in external walls
• Kitchen aspect: Kitchen should have window in east, because morning sun kills
the germs. So kitchen should have eastern aspect.
• Bed room aspect: Bed room is a unit of residential building generally used in night
time, for sleeping so evening sun rays, which are cool in nature should enter the bed
room to create cheerful atmosphere. So bed room should have western aspect,
south-western or north-western aspect.
• Drawing room aspect: It is a room which is used by the occupants for maximum
hours of the day. To achieve good sunlight it should be placed in south or south-
east or north-east. Windows should be provided in external walls
• Study room aspect: Windows in this room should be in northern side to obtain
sufficient light throughout the day. So aspect of this room is north.
• Verandah: there should be sufficient light in the above unit throughout the day so
they should be placed with opening in north-direction.
95. Prospect
• It Is Related With The Views As Seen Of The
Outside From Doors And Windows In The External
Wall. For Pleasant Atmosphere View Of A Garden, Hill
And A River, etc Is A Good Prospect. Towards These
Objective Doors And Windows Should Be Provided In
The External Wall Of The Building. Undesirable Views
Like A Small Nallah, Slum Area, Drainage Disposal
Unit, Garbage Collection Centers Should Be Concealed
By Not Providing Windows In That Direction
• Prospect Of Living Room Should Be Toward The Main
Road To Keep Control On The Plot. Prospects Of Bed
Should Be On The Rear Side Of The Building So That
To Avoid Disturbance Due To Noise.
96.
97.
98.
99. Privacy
• This is very important factor to be considered while
planning both residential as well as public building
Privacy of one room from another in a building as well
as privacy of the whole building with other building should
be achieved.
• The privacy of residential building as a whole can be
achieved by planting trees, and by providing entrance. Even
the compound wall of required height can be constructed to
provide privacy of trespassers.
• Privacy in different rooms can be achieved by providing
doors in such a way that minimum view of room is seen
when shutter is opened. Privacy is very important in bed
rooms and wick. and the view of bed room should not be
visible from any other room.
100. Grouping
• It is the arrangement of various rooms with respect to their
functions, In case of residential building to achieve
maximum efficiency of the plan the grouping should be
done as follows
• Verandah should be the first unit after the entrance of the
house
• Living room and dining room should be close next to
verandah
• Kitchen and dining should be close to each other
• Sanitary arrangements should be close to bed rooms.
• Staircase should be approachable from each room
• Passages connecting various rooms should be well lighted
and ventilated
101.
102.
103. Roominess
• This principle of planning is directly related to
dimensions of the room. A rectangular room is
found more convenient as compared to a square
room of the same size. Hence length to width
ratio should be 1.2 to 1 or 1.5 to 1 if the ratio is
greater it will give a tunnel effect to the room.
Height of doors and windows, ceilings, floorings,
color treatment also affect the roominess of the
building unit. Light color give effect of more
space whereas dark color makes the room look
smaller. Height of ceiling should be low as more
height gives a feeling of a cave.
104.
105.
106.
107. Flexibility
• Flexibility means a room which was planned
for one function can be used for other, if so
required. If rooms are big enough and are
having a minimum width of 3m are more
flexible and even the activities of various
rooms can be exchanged.
108. Furniture Requirement
• One of the most important requirement of a
building planner, is to know how much space
is needed by each function in a particular
building. The room sizes for a particular
function can be completed on the basis of
permanent furniture's to be used in the room.
Hence while planning a building furniture
arrangement must be shown.
109.
110.
111.
112. Circulation
• Circulation is the access into or out of a room. It is the
internal movement inside the building and the area
earmarked for it.
• Circulation area should be straight, short, bright, lighted .
• Circulation should nor affect the privacy of a room nor
interfere with the utility space
• Circulation in a building is of two types
• Horizontal circulation and vertical circulation
• Circulation within a floor is called horizontal circulation
• And circulation between different floor is called vertical
communication.
113.
114. Lighting
• It can be natural light as that obtained from the
sun during the day or artificial light. Adequate
illumination is essential in day to day activities
to execute the safety and comfort and
efficiency
• Good visibility is a must for accident
prevention, comfortable watching and reading
to reduce fatigue, avert confusion, and
efficient security.
115.
116.
117. Elegance
• Elegance refers to the planning of elevation
and layout of the plan to give an impressive
appearance to the building. The proper
width, height, location of doors and windows,
materials employed in construction of exterior
walls etc create elegance. The result of
elegance is aesthetics of building
118.
119. Economy
• Building planning should be carried out in
the financial limit of the client. An engineer
should know in advance, the client intends to
spend for the building and accordingly
material of construction, finishing items, stage
of construction should be suggested. By
estimation proposed amount should be derived
and as per that progress should be followed to
avoid delay in work progress
121. Sanitation
• Provision for cleanliness, lighting and ventilation
in sanitary units avoid growing of bacteria's, and
spread of diseases and give hygienic condition. In
bath and w.c. glazed tiles and dado should be
provided on wall to maintain clean condition. The
ventilator in bath, w.c. permit sunlight and air
collation to maintain hygienic condition.
flooring material should be easy to clean,
skirting's should be provided in rooms. Bath tubs,
w.c., kitchen sink should be made of ceramic
material to maintain clean easily.
122.
123. Building By Laws
• During planning and construction of any
building, certain regulations are laid by
Municipal bodies, authorities, and other
government departments as town planning so
as to prevent haphazard development of city
such rules and regulations are called as
building bylaws.
124. Objectives of Building by laws
• Building bylaws allow disciplined and systematic
growth of buildings and towns and prevent haphazard
development
• Building bye-laws protect safety of public against
fire, noise, health and structural failure.
• They provide proper utilization of space, hence
maximum efficiency in planning
• They provide health, safety, and comfort to
peoples living in the building.
125. Different By Laws
• Building frontage:- It is the margin to be left
beyond the extreme edge of the road to the front
of the building line.
• It depends upon Status of area, Nature of Road.
• Residential building requires minimum clearance.
Public building requires more clearance.
• The purpose of this frontage is to facilitate
• Widening of road in future
• More sight distance at corners
• Minimum sound pollution
126. Frontage based on type of building
Type of
residential
Building
Plot size m2 Frontage
Detached Building Above 250 12 m
Semidetached Building 125-250 8-12 m
Row type building 50 to 125 4.5 to 8 m
127. Open spaces
• Open spaces are essential to satisfy the lighting
and ventilation requirement.
• Outer open space: They are additional margins to be
left within the plot to isolate the building from road
and neighboring buildings.
• Inner open space: They are open spaces within
the building. They are needed in heavily
congested area to
• Provide lighting to the interior rooms
• Create inner courtyard
128. Exterior Open Space
• Exterior open space maybe in front , rear or
sides of the building.
• Front open space: Every building fronting a
street shall have a front space.
Width of street Front open space
Up to 7.5 m 1.5 m
7.5 to 18 m 3 m
7.5 to 18 m 4.5 m
Above 30 m 6.0 m
129. Rear Open Space
• Every residential building shall have a rear
open space of 3 m and in no case it should be
less than 1.8 m.
• Side open space: Detached building should
have a minimum 3m side open space at both
the sides, whereas semidetached building will
have 3m on one side only.
• The open spaces mentioned are for residential
building up to height 10 m
130. Minimum standard dimensions of
building elements
• Area requirement
• The limitation of area is achieved by satisfying
floor space ratio. FAR
• Floor space Ratio:
• FSR: Total area covered area of all floor
• Plot area
• It ranges from 1 to 2
131. Height of Building
• The height of Building are related to FAR and
provision of open space
• The maximum height of building should not
exceed two times the ( width of road + front
open space)
