Note — Students may estimate the remaining items of the, building as exercise.- THREE ROOMED BUILDING WITH FRONT AND BACK VERANDAHS 19
Centre Line Method (Ex. 6)
Estimate of the quantities of the items | to 5 by centre line method is as given below:—
(#) Total cenitré line length of all 30 cm walls — Total centre line lengths of two long walls
and two outer short walls of the right side rooms (combined) and of the three walls of
the remaining room (square room) = (2 * 9.20 + 2 x 3.90) + (3 x 3.90) = 37.90 m.
Numbers of junctions are two with 30 cm walls.
(ii) Total centre line length of 20 cm inter wall = 3.90 m.
‘Numbers of junctions are two with 30 cm wails.
ii) Total centre line length of all 20 cm walls of front and back verandah = Total centre line
length of the front verandah long wall and side wall and of the back verandah fong
wall and side wall = (3.90 + 2.00) + (3.90 + 2.70) = 12.50 m.
Numbers of junctions are 8 (4 with 30 cm walls and 4 with 30 cm pillars).
(iv) Total length of parapet wall, over outer walls of right side rooms and over outer walls of
square room = Right side long wall + front and back outer walls + (walls by the right
side of front and back verandahs) + (outer walls of square room + front and back
walls of square room) = (9.50 + 2 x 4.00 + 2.40 + 2.50) + (4.20 + 2 x 3.90) = 22.40
+ 12.00 = 34.40 m. :
