3. WHAT IS MATERIAL?
Material is key factor f
M t i l i k f t of any product.
d t
Basically material can b
B i ll t i l be d fi d as an
defined
ingredients which are use to form a particular
product.
The material which are used in construction
work are called construction materials or
building materials.
e.g. Stone, Brick, Aggregate, Cement,
Mortar, Concrete, Lime, Metal, Glass, Paint,
Timber etc
etc. 3

Requirements Requirements Requirements Requirements
11. SERVICE REQUIREMNTS
Material should satisfy its own properties like size
size,
shape, colour, strength, stiffness, durability,
chemical composition, corrosion resistance etc.
Material should easy to handle.
Material should easily available in nearby area
area.
12. FABRICATION REQUIREMNTS
Fabrication process refer to how a material is
created, processed and assemble.
Material should easily fabricated as per
requirements.
q
e.g.: Metal should be easily casted, forged,
machined, rolled and cut.

Material should create minimum pollution.
It should not react with chemical or any
substance presence in environment

18. LOAD BEARING STRUCTURE
Foundation is constructed beneath the walls
walls.
Load is transmit by load bearing wall to sub-soil
through its foundation.
There is no column is constructed.
Wall thickness: 20,30, or 40 cm.
Maximum 3 storey are permitted.
M i t itt d
It is adopted where soil strata is hard at shallow depth.
With the increases in no. of floors, wall thickness is
decreases.
19. FRAME STRUCTURE
Main structural members are Beams & Columns
Columns.
Beams support the wall & slab.
Foundation is constructed beneath the columns only
not beneath the walls.
Its self weight is less in comparison to load bearing
structure.
structure
It is easy to construct.
20. COMPOSITE STRUCTURE
Columns as well as load bearing masonry walls are
provided.
Load is transmitted to sub-soil by both the members.
It is proffered for construction of floors which has to
cover large area by slabs like exhibition hall, godowns,
public buildings etc
etc.
