3.1 Introduction
A building is a structure with a roof and walls standing more or less permanently in one place,
such as a house or factory. Buildings come in a variety of sizes, shapes and functions, and have
been adapted throughout history for a wide number of factors, from building materials
available, to weather conditions, to land prices, ground conditions, specific uses and aesthetic
reasons.
Buildings serve several needs of society - primarily as shelter from weather, security, living
space, privacy, to store belongings, and to comfortably live and work. A building as a shelter
represents a physical division of the human habitat (a place of comfort and safety) and the
outside (a place that at times may be harsh and harmful).
Super Structure
The superstructure is that part of the building which is above the ground and which serves the purpose
of building's intended use.

MATERIALS USED
4.1 Introduction
Construction materials or Building materials are materials used for construction. Many naturally
occurring substances, such as clay, rocks, sand, and wood, have been used to construct buildings.
Apart from naturally occurring materials, many manufactured products are used, some more and some
less synthetic.
Construction materials must be strong and durable to withstand the forces of construction and use.
They must also be able to resist weathering and other environmental effects.
Stone: The stone is always obtained from rock. The rock quarried from quarries is called
stone. Quarried stone may be in the form of stone blocks, stone aggregate, stone slabs, and stone lintels
Here to be used as impact test, water absorption test, hardness test and crushing strength. It is preferred
according to SP27-1987.
Brick: Brick is made up of soil and it is used to make the masonry structure Absorption
test, Shape and size test, Crushing strength test. Soundness test, Hardness test. The bricks he table
molded, well burnt in kilns, copper- colored, free from cracks and with sharp and square edges.
Aggregate:- Aggregates shall comply with the requirements of IS 383. As far as possible
reference shall be given to natural aggregate. Aggregates are the important constituents in concrete.
They give body to the concrete, reduce shrinkage and effect economy. One of the most important
factors for producing workable concrete is good gradation of aggregates. For most work, 20 mm
xxi
Specific gravity of fine aggregate = 2.38
Cement:- The most common cement used is Ordinary Portland Cement. The type I is
preferred according to IS: 269-1976, which is used for general concrete structures. 53 Grade ordinary
Portland cement is confirming to 12269. Out of the total production, Ordinary Portland Cement
Fineness of cement = 8%
chemical reaction with cement. Since it helps to form the strength giving cement gel, the quantity and
quality of water is required to be looked into very carefully. Water used for mixing and curing shall be
clean and free from materials like oils, acids, alkalis, salts, sugar, organic materials or other materials
that may be harmful to concrete or steel. PH value of the water used in concreting shall not be less than
Steel: Steel is important ingredient of qualify structure and it is used to carry out the load
easily from the structure to column and it is having high tensile strength. It is preferred according IS
800-2007.

4.3 Quality Control Test.
A brick is generally subjected to following tests to find out its suitability of the
construction work.
ii. Absorption
iv. Hardness
vii. Soundness
viii, Structure
1) Absorption: A good should not absorb not more than 20 percent of weight of dry brick
compression testing machine. It is pressed till it breaks. Minimum crushing strength of brick is Bricks
35kg/cm2 and for superior bricks, it may vary from 70 to 140 kg/cm2.
3) Hardness: No impression is left on the surface the brick is treated to be sufficiently hard
4) Presence of soluble salts: The bricks should not show any go or white deposits after immersed in
water for 24 hours
5) Shape and size: It should be standard size and shape with sharp edges
6) Soundness: The brick should give clear ringing sound struck each other
7) Structure: The structure should be homogeneous, compact and free from any defects 2.6 Grading
of Bricks
a. Bricks with compressive strength not less than 140kg/cm2 - Grade A-A class
b. Bricks with compressive strength not less than 105kg/cm2- First class bricks - Grade A.
c. Bricks with compressive strength not less than 70kg/cm2-Second class bricks-Grade B.
d. Bricks with compressive strength not less than the average value 35kg/cm2-class III bricks Grade C

Tests on cement:
Colour Test:- The color of the cement should be uniform. It should be grey color with a
light greenish shade.
Strength test:-A block of cement 25 mm x25 mm and 200 mm long is prepared and it is
immersed for 7 days in water. It is then placed on supports 15cm apart and it is loaded with a weight of
about 34 kg. The block should not show signs of failure. If cement is of sound quality such block will
not be broken easily.
Setting test:-A thick paste of cement with water is made on a piece of glass plate and it is
kept under water for 24 hours. It should set and not crack.
Tests on aggregates:
Silt Content for Aggregate:-The permissible silt content in sand (fine aggregate) must not
exceed the values as specified in the standards. Hower, this method can only be used for natural sand,
The apparatus required for this test is only 250 ml glass measuring cylinder.
The glass cylinder is filled with salt-water solution (concentration of the solution will teaspoon
Place the palm on the mouth of the glass cylinder and shake it vigorously.
Place the cylinder on hard levelled surface and tap it all round so that sand is leveled.
Measure the thickness of the silt layer and the height of the sand. The silt content can be
calculated as follows:
Silt (%) by volume = [(Thickness of silt layer/ Height of sand + Silt) x 100 %]
Take required amount of aggregate sample (for coarse aggregate take approx. 2.5 kg and
xxv
for fine aggregate take 0.5 kg)
Arrange the required no of sieves as per the contract or job requirement in a descending
manner. (i.e. keep the sieve having largest size opening at the top and the smallest size opening at the
bottom)
Then measure the weight of aggregate on each sieve and express it as the percentage of passing.
Now compare these values with the recommended values to know whether it falls within
the range or not. If not falling within the desired gradation then take necessary action.
fine the aggregate is. More fineness modulus value indicates that the aggregate is coarser and small
Sieve the aggregate using the appropriate sieves (80 mm. 40 mm, 20 mm. 10 mm, 4.75 mm,
2.36 mm, 1.18 mm, 600 micron, 300 micron & 150 micron).
Calculate the cumulative percentage of aggregate retained. Add the cumulative weight of
aggregate retained and divide the sum by 100. This value is termed as fineness modulus.
Compare the text value with the values given in the following table and you can get an idea
Only sand between FM 2.6 to 2.9 is considered suitable for nominal mix proportion.

CONCLUSIONS
We can conclude that there is difference between the theoretical and practical work done. As the scope
of understanding will be much more when practical work is done. As we get more knowledge in such a
Knowing the loads we have designed the slabs depending upon the ratio of longer to shorter span of
panel. In this project we have designed slabs as two way slabs depending upon the end condition,
corresponding bending moment. The coefficients have been calculated as per IS. code methods for
corresponding lx/ly ratio. The calculations have been done for loads on beams and columns and
designed frame analysis by moment distribution method. Here we have a very low bearing capacity,
