Gravity Falls Renovation Project Proposal

Introduction

Natural calamities are able to be prepared by the people but it can’t prevent. As day
goes by, earthquakes, hurricanes and other natural calamities could become stronger than
yesterday. Likewise, house is one of the needs of a person or family in order to live longer, yet it
is costly. You were able to buy an affordable house but the question is; is it firm? Some houses
are frail in many places due to lack of materials and funds and in order to make it stronger, by
the help of an authorized person, concepts should be well studied and material should also be
affordable but well-conditioned.

Goal

Our goal is make a firm house but inexpensive. The house should be stronger and firm in
the natural calamities. Also, it should load more people in order to save more lives.

Proposed Project

In proposing our project house, we need to use a concrete block in walling. According
to www.engineeringcivil.com, it is suggested to use concrete block (block hollow and solid)
which consumes about only 1/3 of the energy of the burnt bricks in its production. By using
concrete block masonry the wall thickness can be reduced from 20 cms to 15 cms. Concrete
block masonry saves mortar consumption, speedy construction of wall resulting in higher
output of labour, plastering can be avoided thereby an overall saving of 10 to 25% can be
achieved. In addition, according to www.concretethinker.com, concrete is resistant to
earthquakes. It is also blast resistance. Concrete framing systems have a proven capacity to
withstand major earthquakes. In addition, high performance concrete can be designed to have
improved blast resistant properties. These concretes often have a compressive strength
exceeding 14,500 psi and contain steel fibers. These blast-resistant structures are often used in
bank vaults and military applications. 
We also need steel frames for doors and windows. According to
www.engineeringcivil.com, It is suggested not to use wood for doors and windows and in its
place concrete or steel section frames shall be used for achieving saving in cost up to 30 to
40%.Similiarly for shutters commercially available block boards, fiber or wooden practical
boards etc., shall be used for reducing the cost by about 25%.By adopting brick jelly work and
precast components effective ventilation could be provided to the building and also the
construction cost could be saved up to 50% over the window components.
For roof of the house, we are one to use the high quality of steel roof.
