Trusses are commonly used in buildings to span long distances and carry heavy loads. Steel trusses are preferred over wood trusses for their strength, simplicity of installation, and durability without risk of rotting. Various types of trusses include king post, queen post, Howe, Pratt, and fan trusses used in roofs, as well as north light trusses traditionally used for industrial buildings to maximize natural lighting. Larger spans may use tubular steel, quadrangular, or gusset plate connected trusses, while galvanized steel sheets are often used for roofing material.
The document discusses reinforced cement concrete (RCC) structures. It describes two types of building structures - load bearing, where walls transmit loads directly to the ground, and framed structures, where loads are transferred through RCC beams, columns, and slabs. It also discusses design loads on buildings including dead loads from structural weight and live loads. Common RCC structural elements like beams, slabs, shear walls and elevator shafts are described. Raw materials, advantages, specifications, common ratios, one-way and two-way slabs, and examples of RCC structures are covered.
1) High rise buildings are becoming more common due to scarcity of land and demand for space. They are defined differently but generally refer to buildings over 15 meters tall.
2) Foundations for high rise buildings include shallow foundations like spread footings and mat foundations, and deep foundations like piles. Piles transfer load through end bearing or friction along their length.
3) Structural systems for high rise buildings must resist both gravity and lateral loads. Interior systems include rigid frames and shear walls. Exterior systems such as tube and diagrid systems resist loads along the building perimeter.
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.
This document discusses prefabrication in construction. Prefabrication involves assembling components of a structure in a factory then transporting them to the construction site. It has advantages like reduced cost, time, and waste and allows work during poor weather. Common prefabricated components include columns, beams, waffle floors/roofs which are cast and cured off-site then erected using cranes. While prefabrication offers benefits, it also has disadvantages like potential breakage during transport and need for specialized equipment and labor. The document concludes that partial prefabrication is well-suited for Indian conditions.
This document discusses causes, effects, and methods of preventing dampness in buildings. It outlines several precautions that should be taken such as proper site drainage and wall thickness. Common causes of dampness include rising moisture, rain penetration, and poor drainage. Effects include breeding mosquitoes and damage to building materials. Methods of damp proofing discussed are damp proof courses, waterproof surface treatments, integral treatments during construction, cavity walls, and cement grouting of cracks. Specific materials used for damp proof courses like bitumen and mastic asphalt are also outlined.
Slab is a thin concrete structure used for flooring that can be square, rectangular, or circular. Slabs vary in thickness from 4-6 inches depending on load and are made of cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, and reinforcement bars. There are several types of slabs including one-way slabs which carry load in one direction, two-way slabs which carry load in two directions, joist slabs which have concrete ribs for support, and precast slabs which are constructed off-site and transported. Other slab types include flat plates, flat slabs, waffle slabs, hollow core slabs, and composite slabs which incorporate a steel deck.

Prestressed concrete uses high-strength steel tendons or cables to put concrete members into compression prior to stresses from service loads being applied. This counters the tensile stresses induced by loading and improves the behavior of the concrete. There are two main methods - pretensioning and post-tensioning. Pretensioning involves stressing steel tendons before concrete is cast, while post-tensioning stresses steel tendons after the concrete has hardened. Losses in prestress over time include elastic shortening, anchorage slip, friction, creep, shrinkage, and steel relaxation. Proper material selection and design can minimize these losses and optimize the performance of prestressed concrete.
Trusses are triangular frameworks that use members in axial compression and tension to support loads. They are commonly used for roofs, floors, and bridges to span long distances. The main types are Pratt, Warren, Fink, and North Light trusses. Pratt trusses have diagonal members that slant down toward the middle, while Warren trusses have alternating compression and tension diagonals. Fink and North Light trusses are typically used for shorter roof spans. Truss members can be made of structural steel with standard cross sections like boxes, rectangles, and HEA shapes.
This document discusses the design of flat slab structures. It begins by defining a flat slab as a type of slab supported directly on columns without beams. It then provides details on the types of flat slabs, their common uses in buildings, and benefits such as flexibility in layout and reduced construction time. The document goes on to discuss key design considerations for flat slabs including thickness, drops, column heads, and methods of analysis. It focuses on the direct design method and provides limitations for its use.
Prefabrication is the practice of assembling components of a structure in a factory or other manufacturing site, and transporting them to the construction site where the structure is to be located.
Retaining walls are used at the Shraddha Vivanta Residency construction site in Mumbai for two main purposes. Cantilever retaining walls around 3.5 meters deep allow for a basement and four floors of stacked parking underneath the residential building. Additional retaining walls surround underground water tanks for suction and firefighting. The walls are located along the building perimeter and around the tank areas. Proper waterproofing of the retaining walls is important given their underground locations.
Steel structures involve structural steel members designed to carry loads and provide rigidity. Some famous steel structures include the Walt Disney Concert Hall, Tyne Bridge, and Howrah Bridge. Steel structures have advantages like high strength, ductility, elasticity, and ease of fabrication and erection. The Howrah Bridge is a steel cantilever bridge that connects Howrah and Kolkata. When built, it was the 3rd longest cantilever bridge in the world. It uses steel components like I-beams, rivets, and expansion joints and was constructed between 1936-1942.
Pre-stressed concrete uses tensioned steel strands or bars to place concrete in compression before application of service loads. This counters the tensile stresses induced by loads and prevents cracking. There are two main methods: pre-tensioning applies tension before pouring concrete, while post-tensioning tensions strands after concrete curing. Pre-stressed concrete allows for smaller and lighter structures that resist loads, deflection, and cracking better than reinforced concrete.
The document discusses different types of flooring materials and their construction. It describes the key components of flooring as the sub-floor or base course, and floor covering. Common materials used include cement concrete, lime concrete, stones, bricks and wood. The selection of flooring depends on factors like initial cost, appearance, durability, damp and fire resistance. Specific flooring types discussed include mud, muram, brick, flagstone, cement concrete, terrazzo, mosaic and tile flooring.
A space frame or space structure is a structure system assembled of linear elements so arranged that forces are transferred in a three-dimensional manner. Space frames can be used to cover large areas with few interior supports.
This document discusses precast concrete construction. Some key points:
- Precast concrete elements are cast and cured off-site then transported for assembly, allowing more efficient production and quality control.
- Elements include slabs, beams, columns, and wall panels that are joined on-site through embedded bolts, plates, and grouted connections.
- The precasting process involves casting concrete around prestressing strands to add strength, then cutting sections and transporting them for erection.
Shear walls are vertical structural elements designed to resist lateral forces like winds and earthquakes. They work by transferring shear forces throughout their height and resisting uplift forces. Properly designed and constructed shear wall buildings are very stable and ductile, providing warnings before collapse during severe earthquakes. Common types of shear walls include reinforced concrete, plywood, and steel plate shear walls. Shear walls are an effective and efficient way to resist lateral loads in seismic regions.
This document discusses prestressed concrete, which uses tensioned steel cables or bars to put concrete members into compression and increase their strength. It describes three main methods: pre-tensioned concrete where the steel is tensioned before the concrete is cast; bonded post-tensioned concrete where steel is tensioned after casting to compress the concrete; and unbonded post-tensioned concrete where greased steel is used to allow individual adjustment. Applications include buildings, bridges, nuclear reactors and earthquake resistant structures. Advantages are lower costs, thinner members, and increased spans.

This document provides an overview of different types of retaining walls, including gravity, cantilever, counterfort, sheet pile, and diaphragm walls. It discusses the key components and design considerations for gravity and cantilever retaining walls. Gravity walls rely on their own weight for stability, while cantilever walls consist of a vertical stem with a heel and toe slab acting as a cantilever beam. The document also covers lateral earth pressures, drainage of retaining walls, uses of sheet pile walls, and construction methods for diaphragm walls.
Brick masonry involves laying bricks together using mortar. Bricks are laid in various bond patterns with headers and stretchers. English bond and Flemish bond are common, strong bonds. Brick masonry walls are durable and fire resistant due to the thermal mass of bricks. Proper bonding, jointing, and avoiding continuous vertical joints are important for strength. Bricks are classified based on quality and used for different purposes depending on loads and importance of structure.
The document summarizes various reinforced concrete structural elements used in building construction, including:
1. Columns, beams, slabs, staircases, lintels, chhajjas (eaves), canopies, and coffer slabs are discussed. Columns transfer loads from above to the foundation. Beams provide horizontal load resistance and resist bending. Slabs are floor and ceiling elements supported by columns and beams.
2. Staircases can be made of reinforced concrete and come in different arrangements like straight flights or landings. Lintels support walls above openings. Chhajjas project from walls to provide shade. Canopies provide shelter from weather. Coffer slabs have sunken, decorated
Reinforced concrete columns and beams are important structural elements that carry compressive and bending loads respectively. Columns can be categorized as short or long based on their height-width ratio and as spiral or tied columns based on their shape. Beams are classified based on their supports as simply supported, fixed, continuous, or cantilever beams. The construction of RCC columns and beams involves laying reinforcement, forming the structure, and pouring concrete to create these load-bearing elements.

This document provides information on various types of foundations used in construction, including isolated footings, grillage foundations, raft foundations, and rebar (reinforcing steel). Isolated footings are independent footings used to support single columns. Grillage foundations consist of steel beams in tiers to distribute loads over a large area for heavy structures. Raft foundations are concrete slabs that extend across a building footprint to spread loads. Rebar is steel reinforcement embedded in concrete to increase its tensile strength. The document discusses construction details and reinforcement for these foundation types.
The document discusses high rise buildings and their structures. It defines high rise buildings as between 35-100 meters tall or 12-39 floors. Buildings over 100m are called skyscrapers and over 600m are mega-tall. High rises are constructed to address land scarcity in urban areas and increasing demand for space. Their structures have evolved from early stone and iron frames to steel skeleton frames to reinforced concrete shear walls and core structures. Foundations must transfer enormous loads into the ground through methods like raft or pile foundations. Interior structures use rigid frames, shear walls, and exterior structures employ tube systems to resist lateral wind and seismic loads.

This document provides information about space frames, cable structures, and folded plate structures. It defines a space frame as a truss-like, lightweight rigid structure constructed from interlocking struts in a geometric pattern. Space frames can span large areas with few interior supports. Folded plates are assemblies of flat plates rigidly connected along their edges to form a structural system without additional beams. Cable structures derive their strength from tension forces in the cables rather than from bending or compression. Common cable structures include suspension bridges, cable-stayed bridges, and cable-supported roofs.
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.
Framed structures are building skeleton frameworks formed by columns and beams. There are two main types: in-situ reinforced concrete frames and prefabricated frames. Rectangular framed structures use columns and beams arranged at right angles to support floors, walls, and roofs. They are commonly used for multi-story buildings like offices, schools, and hospitals. Framed structures provide large open floor plans and are adaptable to different shapes. Earthquake-resistant features in framed structures include shear walls, moment-resisting frames, and braced structures which resist lateral forces during seismic activity.
The document discusses various types of tall buildings and earthquake resistant design strategies. It describes bundled tube, framed tube, braced tube, and tube-in-tube structural systems that are used for tall buildings. The document also summarizes the Bhuj earthquake that occurred in Gujarat in 2001 and killed over 19,000 people. It provides steps for seismic design including planning symmetrical buildings, avoiding soft stories, using ductile materials, and providing vertical load paths like shear walls, bracing, and tuned mass dampers.

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

Abstract
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) helps to overcome various difficulties in future technology wireless communications. NOMA, when utilized with millimeter wave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, channel estimation becomes extremely difficult. For reaping the benefits of the NOMA and mm-Wave combination, effective channel estimation is required. In this paper, we propose an enhanced particle swarm optimization based long short-term memory estimator network (PSOLSTMEstNet), which is a neural network model that can be employed to forecast the bandwidth required in the mm-Wave MIMO network. The prime advantage of the LSTM is that it has the capability of dynamically adapting to the functioning pattern of fluctuating channel state. The LSTM stage with adaptive coding and modulation enhances the BER.PSO algorithm is employed to optimize input weights of LSTM network. The modified algorithm splits the power by channel condition of every single user. Participants will be first sorted into distinct groups depending upon respective channel conditions, using a hybrid beamforming approach. The network characteristics are fine-estimated using PSO-LSTMEstNet after a rough approximation of channels parameters derived from the received data.

Consolidation Settlement Calculation Program-The Python Code
By Professor Dr. Costas Sachpazis, Civil Engineer & Geologist
This program calculates the consolidation settlement for a foundation based on soil layer properties and foundation data. It allows users to input multiple soil layers and foundation characteristics to determine the total settlement.
3. RCC COLUMN
• A column is a vertical member which effectively takes load by compression. Basically column is a
compression member as load acts along its longitudinal axis. Bending moment may occur due to wind
earthquake or accidental loads.
• Column transfers the load of the structure of slabs beams above to below, and finally load is
transferred to the soil. Position of the columns should be so that there are no tensile stresses
developed at the cross section of the columns. Columns location should be such that it hides in the
walls partially or fully.
Long Column/ Slender Short Column
Intermediate Column
TYPES OF COLUMN
DESIGN
RCC columns are mainly constructed in four
different stages, which are
1. Column Layout Work.
2. Column Reinforcement Work.
3. Column Formwork and
4. Pouring Concrete,
1. COLUMN LAYOUT WORK:
This is the first step of column construction. In this step, the location of columns is decided practically in
the field. It is done by laying rope as per the grids are shown in the drawing and afterward, the location of
columns are marked.
2. COLUMN REINFORCEMENT WORK:
When marking of column location is done, the reinforcement of columns are placed according to the
structural drawing.
For example, C1-12#16 mmØ and stirrup-10 mmØ@4″c/c.
This means, the column C1 will have 12 numbers of 16 mm diameter bars as the vertical bar and 10 mm
diameter steel should be placed 4 inch center to center spacing as the stirrup.
Lets look for another example, C2-8#20 mmØ +10#16 mmØ and stirrup – 10 mmØ @(4″+6″)c/c
So the column will have 8 numbers of 20 mm dia bar and 10 numbers of 16 mm dia bar for vertical
reinforcement and (4″+6″) c/c means the middle half portion of clear height of column will have 6″ center
to center spacing of stirrups and the upper one-fourth as well as bottom one-fourth height of the columns
clear height will hold stirrups at 4″ center to center spacing.
Additional notes such as lap length for column steel of different diameter etc will be given in the sheet of
structural drawing.
4. 3. COLUMN FORMWORK:
The floor height is normally kept at 10 feet. If the slab contains beam, then concrete has to be poured
upto the beam bottom level. For example, if the beam height is given in the drawing is 1′-6″, the casting
height of column and formwork will be 8′-6″. But as we know that dropping concrete more than 5 feet
height is not allowed because it will cause segregation, we
should create formwork within 5 feet height. When the first
part will be cast completely, the rest part should be started.
4. POURING CONCRETE INTO COLUMN:
Concreting of column is done in two different methods
1. Manually
2. Using machine or pump.
BEAM
Beam is a structural member which is normally placed
horizontally. It provides resistance to bending when loads are
applied on it.
Various types of materials such as wood, steel, aluminum, etc
are used for constructing beam. Most commonly used material
for beam is RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete).
RCC beam can be various types depending on different criteria.
Such as, depending on shape, beam can be rectangular, T-
beam, etc. Depending on reinforcement placement, beam can
be double reinforced beam, single reinforced beam, etc.
RCC beams are 4 types depending on their
supporting systems.
1. Simply supported beam
2. Semi-continuous beam
3. Continuous beam, and
4. Cantilever beam.
FUNCTION
• A beam is a structural element that primarily
resists loads applied laterally to the beam’s axis. Its
mode of deflection is primarily by bending. The loads
applied to the beam result in reaction forces at the
beam’s support points. The total effect of all the forces
acting on the beam is to produce shear
forces and bending moments within the beam, that in
turn induce internal stresses, strains and deflections of
the beam. Beams are characterized by their manner of
support, profile (shape of cross-section), length, and
their material.
• When beams support slabs, they work together forming
a “T” section beam. The level of the slabs compared to
the level of the beams results in the formation of
rectangular beams, inverted beams or “Z” beams.
5. • The beam to column connection is called direct
support while the beam to beam connection is
called indirect support.
• The most usually used beam is the one supported
by two columns and the most rarely used is the
cantilever beam. Indirect supports should be
ocasionly used and only if it’s the only avaible
solution.
SLAB
• A Reinforced Concrete Slab is the one of the most important component in a building. It is a structural
element of modern buildings. Slabs are supported on Columns and Beams.
• RCC Slabs whose thickness ranges from 10 to 50 centimetres are most often used for the construction
of floors and ceilings.
• Thin concrete slabs are also used for exterior paving purpose.
• In many domestic and industrial buildings a thick concrete slab, supported on foundations or directly
on the sub soil, is used to construct the ground floor of a building.
• In high rises buildings and skyscrapers, thinner, pre-cast concrete slabs are slung between the
steel frames to form the floors and ceilings on each level.
• While making structural drawings of the reinforced concrete slab, the slabs are abbreviated to
“r.c.slab” or simply “r.c.”.
Design of various types of slabs and their reinforcement
For a suspended slab, there are a number of designs to improve the strength-to-weight ratio. In
all cases the top surface remains flat, and the underside is modulated:
•Corrugated, usually where the concrete is poured into a corrugated steel tray. This improves
strength and prevents the slab bending under its own weight. The corrugations run across the
short dimension, from side to side.
•A ribbed slab, giving considerable extra
• strength on one direction.
•A waffle slab, giving added strength in
• both directions.
Reinforcement design
•A one way slab has structural strength
• in shortest direction.
•A two way slab has structural strength
• in two directions.
6. Construction
•A concrete slab can be cast in two ways: It could either be prefabricated or cast in situ.
•Prefabricated concrete slabs are cast in a factory and then transported to the site ready to be lowered
into place between steel or concrete beams.
•They may be pre-stressed (in the factory), post-stressed (on site), or unstressed. Care should be taken to
see that the supporting structure is built to the correct dimensions to avoid trouble with the fitting of slabs
over the supporting structure.
•In situ concrete slabs are built on the building site using formwork. Formwork is a box-like setup in
which concrete is poured for the construction of slabs.
•For reinforced concrete slabs, reinforcing steel bars are placed within the formwork and then the
concrete is poured.
•Plastic tipped metal, or plastic bar chairs are used to hold the reinforcing steel bars away from the
bottom and sides of the form-work, so that when the concrete sets it completely envelops the
reinforcement.
•Formwork differs with the kind of slab. For a ground slab, the form-work may consist only of sidewalls
pushed into the ground whereas for a suspended slab, the form-work is shaped like a tray, often
supported by a temporary scaffold until the concrete sets.
STAIRCASE
RCC stairs may be the most common stairs widely
used than any other types of stair. These stairs
can be easily moulded to any desired shape and
are better wear and fire resistant. The steps of
RCC stairs are made by using ordinary cement
concrete. Besides ordinary cement concrete,
some other superior finishing materials are also
used such as marble, terrazzo, tiles etc. to give
them better appearances.
• DIFFERENT STAIR ARRANGEMENT IN CASE OF
R.C.C. Single Straight Flight Stairs
• Inclined Slab Stairs With Half Space Landings
• String Beam Stairs
• Crancked Slab Stairs
• Crancked Slab Stairs
• Cantilever Stairs
• Spiral Stairs
7. ADVANTAGES OF RCC STAIRS:
The advantages of R.C.C stairs are as following:
1. R.C.C stairs are better fire resistant than any other
stairs.
2. They are adequately strong and more durable.
3. The steps are non-slippery.
4. They offer better and pleasant appearances.
5. The stairs can be designed for greater widths and
longer spans.
6. They can be easily cleaned.
7. R.C.C stairs can be precast or cast in situ.
8. The maintenance cost is almost nil.
9. In modern sky scraper construction always
framed structures are adopted, for such structures
R.C.C stairs are the one and only stairs which can be
used.
LINTEL
A lintel is one type of beam which used to
support the above wall when openings like doors,
windows etc. are necessary to provide a building
structure. The main function of the lintel is to
take loads coming from above wall and transfer
its load to the side walls. The lintel beam
generally ends into the masonry wall so as to
convey the weight carried by them to the
masonry walls and its width is same to the wall
width. The lintel can also be used as decorative
architecture element.
8. Types of Lintel
Lintels are classified into the following types
according to the materials of their construction:
1.Timber lintel
2.Stone lintel
3.Reinforced concrete lintel
4.Brick lintel
5.Reinforced brick lintel
6.Steel lintel
CHAJJA.
Chajja is Hindi word for Eaves, a chhajja is the
projecting or overhanging eaves or cover of a roof
usually called a sunshade supported on large carved
brackets or projected as a cantilever from walls.
An overhang in architecture is a protruding
structure which may provide protection for lower
levels.
Functions of Chajja
1.Protects from external sunlight.
2.Protects from rainwater
3.as aesthetics to a building
4.a recess place to keep utilities like A.C compressor
Canopy
A canopy is a layer of something that spreads out
and covers an area. A canopyis an overhead roof or
else a structure over which a fabric or metal
covering is attached, able to provide shade or
shelter from weather conditions.
•Canopy:- A canopy is an overhead roof or else a
structure over which a fabric or metal covering is
attached, able to provide shade or shelter from
weather conditions such as sun, hail, snow and rain.
1.It provide an elegance beauty to structure
2.It maybe a temporary offset or structure provided
in the building for special reason.
9. COFFER SLAB
A ceiling in which the beams and cross-beams leave
a regular pattern of square or multi-sided sunken
panels, or coffers, each of which is often decorated
with molded, carved and painted decoration.
COFFER CEILINGS
A Coffer (or coffering) in architecture, is a sunken
panel in the shape of a square, rectangle, or
octagon in a ceiling,soffit or vault. A series of these
sunken panels were used as decoration for a ceiling
or a vault, also called caissons('boxes"), or lacunaria
("spaces, openings"), so that a coffered ceiling can
be called a lacunar ceiling: the strength of the
structure is in the framework of the coffers.
SERVICES IN COFFERED SLAB
1.The coffer blocks used in the Coffer Slab are
manufactured from plastic, making them light
and easy to handle.
2. The assembly of the coffer blocks is done on
the ground before being lifted into position
between the supporting ribs. The result is less
labor and quick and easy installation.
10. A pergola is an outdoor garden feature forming a shaded walkway, passageway, or sitting area of
vertical posts or pillars that usually support cross-beams and a sturdy open lattice, often upon which
woody vines are trained. The origin of the word is the Late Latin pergula, referring to a projecting eave.
Pergolas may link pavilions or extend from a
building's door to an open garden feature such as an
isolated terrace or pool. Freestanding pergolas,
those not attached to a home or other structure,
provide a sitting area that allows for breeze and
light sun, but offer protection from the harsh glare
of direct sunlight. Pergolas also give climbing plants
a structure on which to grow.
