ABSTRACT
This project report entitle to “ SIMPLE DOOR SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM”
. The main objective of the study is to analyze the basis to detailed procedure of simple security
system Abstract.
This door open alarm uses an input sensor fixed at the corner of the door frame
and a magnet fixed on the door panel close to the sensor. When the door is opened, the magnet
moves away from the sensor, generating a controlling signal to sound the alarm.
When the door is closed, the magnet is close to the sensor. Presence of north-
polarity magnetic field generates a low voltage at the output of the sensor.
In this project, I got a learning of security systems and sensors, its protocols,
etc. Real learning places its worth only when it gives sweet fruits in future. Doing real project is
one way to learn at work. I enjoyed the interesting experience and every part of it. The report dealt
with the practical knowledge of general theory and technical details of equipment, materials, which
I have gained during the project.

CHAPTER 2.0
CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDING
Construction of the building is done in at least two steps. Which are follow i ng:
• Sub Structure
• Super Structure.
Foundation is a part of the sub structure. Sub structure is constructed according to soil quality at that
site. If soil have good bearing capacity than we use shallow foundation
in construction. And if the bearing capacity of the soil is not good or suitable than we use deep
foundation at that site. Sub structure is a load bearing structure and it is designed for load bearing.
FOUNDATION:
A foundation is the element of any structure which connects it to the ground, and transfers loads from
the structure to the ground. Foundations are generally considered either shallow or deep.The low
artificially built part of a structure which transmits the load of the structure to the ground is called
Page |8
CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI STORIED RESIDENTIAL BUILDING
structure which bear all load coming on the building or any structure. Foundation is generally of
two types:
Foundation.
Shallow foundations are also called spread footings or open footings. The 'open' refers to the fact that
the foundations are made by first excavating all the earth till the bottom of the footing, and then
constructing the footing. During the early stages of work, the entire foo ting is visible to the eye, and
is therefore called an open foundation. The idea is that each foo ting takes the concentrated load of the
column and spreads it out of very large area, so that the actual weight on the soil does not exceed the
safe bearing capacity of the soil. It includes some types of shallow foundation such as:
Page |9
CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI STORIED RESIDENTIAL BUILDING
Individual footings are one of the most simple and common types of foundations. These are used
when the load of the building is carried by columns. Usually, each column will have its own footing.
The foo ting is just a square or rectangular pad of concrete on which the columns its. To get a very
rough idea of the size of the footing, the engineer will take the total load on the column and divide it
by the safe bearing capacity (S BC) of the soil. For example, if a column has a vertical load of 10 T,
and the SBC of the soil is 10 T/m2, then the area of the footing will be 1 m 2. In practice, the de
signer will look at many other factors before preparing a construction design for the footing.
Individual footings are usually connected by a plinth beam, a horizontal beam that is built at ground
Strip footings are commonly found in load-bearing masonry construction, and act as a long strip that
supports the weight of an entire wall. These are used where the building loads are carried by entire
walls rather than isolated columns, such as in older buildings made of masonry.
Raft Foundations, also called Mat Foundations, are most often used when basements are to be
constructed. In a raft, the entire basement floor slab acts as the foundation; the weight of the building
is spread evenly over the entire footprint of the building. It is called a raft because the building is like
P a g e | 10
CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI STORIED RESIDENTIAL BUILDING
Mat Foundations are used where the soil is week, and the re fore building loads have to be spread over
a large area, or where columns are closely spaced, which mea ns that if individual footings were used,
A deep foundation is a type of foundation which transfers building loads to the earth farther down
from the surface than a shallow foundation does, to a sub-surface layer or a range of depths.
A pile is basically a lo ng cylinder of a strong mate ria l such as concrete that is pushed into the
1) When there is a layer of weak soil at the surface. This layer cannot support the weight of
the building, so the loads of the building have to bypass this layer and be transferred to the
2) When a building has very heavy, concentrated loads, such as in a high rise structure.
Pile foundations are capable of taking higher loads than spread footings. There are two types
P a g e | 11
CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI STORIED RESIDENTIAL BUILDING
In end bearing piles, the bottom end of the pile rests on a layer of especially strong soil or rock. The
load of the building is transferred through the pile onto the strong layer. In a sense, this pile acts like a
column. The key principle is that the bottom end rests on the surface which is the intersection of a
weak and strong layer. The load therefore bypasses the weak layer and is safely transferred to the
strong layer.
Friction Piles:
Friction piles work on a different principle. The pile transfers the load of the building to the soil
across the full height of the pile, by friction. In other words, the entire surface of the pile, which is
cylindrical in shape, works to transfer the forces to the soil. To visualise how this works, imagine you
are pushing a solid metal rod of say 4 mm diameter into a tub of frozenice cream. Once you have
pushed it in, it is strong enough to support so me load. The greater the embedment depth in the ice

it can support. This is very similar to how a friction pile works. In a friction pile, the amount of load
Super-structure is a part of structure that is above plinth level (P.L). Generally, columns and walls are
constructed in super structure. Following are the important parts of super- structure.
1) Floor
2) Roof
3) Lintel
4) Parapet
5) Sun Shade
FLOOR:
P a g e | 13
CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI STORIED RESIDENTIAL BUILDING
Floor is that part of a building on which furniture, ho use hold, commercial, industrial or any other
Floor separates the different levels of a building. Building is also named with reference to floor. Like
Ground floor, first floor, or a floor that is below ground level like basement floor.
ROOF:
Roof is made to cover room from upper face. Different types of roofs are used in building depending
on the location and weather. Sloping roofs are generally considered better in mountain areas. While,
LINTEL:
Lintel is constructed above doors, windows etc. to support load of wall on openings. Lintel beam is
generally made as reinforced cement concrete member. While, in residential houses sometime lintel
is made by using concrete and bricks. Breadth of lintel is generally equals to the breadth of wall.
In case of metric unit, it is normally equals to 10cm, 15cm, 20cm etc. While, in case of
FPS system it is consider as 6”,9”, 12” etc. Thickness of lintel should not be les s than
10cm (4.5”) and maximum thickness of lintel should not be more than its breadth.
SUN SHADE:
Sun shade is a s lab that is cast on the top of doors and windows. Sun shad e protects doors and
windows from sun and rain. Sun shade is cast monolithically with the lintel.

CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI STORIED RESIDENTIAL BUILDING
A door is a moving structure used to b lock off, and allow access to, an entrance to or within an
enclosed space, such as a building or vehicle. Doors normally consist of a panel that swings on hinges
on the edge, but there are also doors that slid e or spin inside of a space. A window is an opening in a
wall, door, roof or vehicle that allows the passage of light and, if not closed or sealed, air and sound.

3.1 CEMENT
Cement was first discovered by an English brick layer named Joseph Aspdin in 1824. Hecalled it
Portland cement for the reason that the cement he discovered resembled the limestone found in
Portland.
Lime(Cao) 60-70%
Alumina(Al2O3) 5-10%
The function of cement is to combine with water and to form cement paste. This paste first sets i.e. it
becomes firms and then hardens due to chemical reaction, called hydration, between the cement and
water. On setting & hardening, the cement binds the aggregate together into a stone like hard mass &
thus provides strength, durability & water-tighten to the concrete. Quality of cement is based on

Coming to the 43 Grade OPC, it is the most commonly used grade for ho me construction. It has its
applications in plastering, finishing works, precast items, foundations, brick work, and compound
wall and so on. It has more strength development than the 33 grade cement.
53 Grade OPC develops strength very fast. High rise building constructions use 53 grade cement.
This is applicable for use in structures where high grade concrete is required

3.2 AGGREGATE
Aggregates are small pieces of broken stones in irregular size and shapes. Neat cement is very rarely
used in construction works since it is liable to shrink too much and become cracks on setting.
Moreover, it will be costly to use ne at cement in construction work. Therefore cement is mixed with
some inert strong & durable hard material. They also reduce the cost of concrete because they are
TYPES OF AGGREGATES:
1.Fine Aggregate
2.Coarse Aggregate
The aggregate, which pass through 4.75 mm, I.S. sieve and entirely retain on 75
The function of using fine aggregate in a concrete mix is to fill up the voids existing in the coarse
aggregate and to obtain a dense and strong concrete with less quantity of cement and increase the
The aggregate, which pass through 75 mm I.S. sieve and entirely retain on 4.75 I.S. sieve is
known as coarse aggregates. At the site the coarse aggregate was 10mm &
20mm (graded).
P a g e | 19
CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI STORIED RESIDENTIAL BUILDING
The coarse aggregates are used in mixing of concrete. It is mixed cement, sand with water. These
aggregates increase the strength of bonding in aggregates. Coarse aggregates are used in construction
GRADING OF CONCRETE:
The art of doing gradation of an aggregate as determined by sieve analysis is known as grading of
aggregate. The grade of concrete is depends on size of aggregates. The principle of grading is that the
This results in the most economical use of cement paste for filling the voids & binding together the
P a g e | 20
CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI STORIED RESIDENTIAL BUILDING
Thus proper grading of fine & coarse aggregate in concrete mix produces a dense concrete with less
quantity of cement.
REINFORCEMENT:
The material that develops a good bond with co ncrete in order to increase its strength is called
reinforcement. Steel bars are highly strong in tension, shear, bending moment, torsion and
compression.
FUNCTION OF REINFORCEMENT:
Reinforcement working as a tension member because concrete is strong in compression and week in
tension so reinforcement resists the tensile stresses in the concrete members. At the site contractor
using the high strength steel bars and T.M.T. (Thermo Mechanically Treated) bars of diameter 8 mm,
3.3 WATER
It is an important ingredient of concrete because it combines with cement and forms a binding paste.
The paste thus formed fills up the voids of the sand and coarse aggregate bringing them into close
adhesion. In this project source of water is a tube well which is closely spaced to the building. The
quality of water is good and can be used for drinking purpose also.

3.4 R.C.C.
Though plain cement concrete has high compressive strength and its tensile strength is relatively low.
Normally, the tensile strength of a concrete is about 10% to 15% of its compressive strength. Hence
if a beam is made up of plain cement concrete, it has a very low load carrying capacity since its low
tensile strength limits its overall strength. It is, there reinforced by placing steel bars in the tensile
zone of the concrete beam so that the compressive bending stress is carried by concrete and tensile
bending stress is carried by steel reinforcing bars. Generally in simply supported and Cantilever
beams the tension zone occurs at bottom and top of beam respectively.

1. The mold for the slump test is a frustum of a cone, 300 mm (12 in) of height. The base is 200
mm (4 in).
2. The base is placed on a smooth surface and the container is filled with concrete in three layers,
3. Each layer is temped 25 times with a standard 16 mm (5/8 in) diameter steel rod, rounded at the
end.
4. When the mold is completely filled with concrete, the top surface is struck off (leveled with
mould top opening) by means of screening and rolling motion of the temping rod.
5. The mould must be firmly held against its base during the entire operation so that it could not
move due to the pouring of concrete and this can be done by means of handles or foot - rests
6. Immediately after filling is completed and the concrete is leveled, the cone is slowly and
7. The decrease in the height of the center of the slumped concrete is called slump.
8. The slump is measured by placing the cone just besides the slump concrete and the temping rod
is placed over the cone so that it should also come over the area of slumped concrete.
9. The decrease in height of concrete to that of mould is noted with scale. (Usually measured to

5.4 COMPACTORS
When the concrete has been placed, it shows a very loose structure. Hence, it must be compacted to
remove the air bubbles and voids so as to make it dense and solid concrete to obtain a high strength.
Generally in large projects mechanical compactors are used. There are various mechanical
compactors which uses according to requirement as needle and screed vibrators needed to compact

The bricks are prepared in various sizes. On the basis of size, BIS bricks are categories in
two parts-
MODULAR BRICKS:
TRADITIONAL BRICKS:
The brick of which size varies and not standardized known as traditional brick. WEIGHT OF
BRICK:
It is found that the weight of 1 cubic meter brick earth is about 1800 kg. Hence the average weight
STRETCHER:
If brick laid along its length then front view of brick is known as stretcher.
HEADER:

Selection of type of mortar depends on various factors such as suitability of building material,
atmospheric conditions, durability etc. there are mainly three type of mortar which can be used for
the purpose of mortar. Lime mortar Cement mortar Water proof mortar
LIME MORTAR:
The main content of lime mortar is lime that is mixed with correct proportion of sand. Generally fat
lime is recommended for plaster work because the fat lime contains 75% of CaO and it combines
with CO2 of atmosphere and gives CaCO3 quickly. Thus, the lime sets quickly, but it imparts low
strength. So it can be used only for plaster work. The sand to be used for preparing lime mortar for
plastering work should be clean, coarse and free from any organic impurities.
CEMENT MORTAR:
The cement mortar consists of one part of cement to four part of clean and coarse sand

by volume. The materials are thoroughly mix in dry condition before water is added to them. The
mixing of material is done on a watertight platform. It is better than lime mortar. It is widely used in
construction work.
Water proof mortar is prepared by mixing one part of cement, two part of sand and pulverized alum at
the rate of 120Nperm3 of sand. In the water to be used, 0.75 of soft soap is dissolve per one liter of

It is in the cheapest form of construction that plaster is applied in one coat. This method is quietly
used in rural areas for the construction of low category and cheap house.
Following procedure is carried out for two coating plaster work Clean the surface and keep it well
watered on which plaster work to be done.If it is found that the surface to be plastered is very rough
and uneven, a preliminary coat is applied to fill up the hollows before the first coat of plaster is put
up on the surface. Now the first coat is applied on the surface. The usual thickness of first coat for
brick masonry is 9mm to10mm. Second coat of plaster is applied after about 6 hours and the thickness

CONCLUSION
The general terms of construction are included in this stud y. Different types of Bonds in brick
masonary are also studied in this report. Study about different types of foundation is also studied in
this report. Study about the different Building By-laws is also done in this report.
As per my training report I have conclude that, during last 60 days I am familiar with the
construction of brick masonry & plastering and other works under a A.P Housing Board project.
Brick masonry is provided to transfer the load of structure to foundation. All though maximum load
Plaster is necessary to cover and protect the masonry from weathering factor. It is a layer of
cement mortar of thickness is 1 to 1.5 inches. The basic knowledge of field is also important for my
future. I am very thankful to all those people who help me to get knowledge of brick masonry and
plastering.
