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.

CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI STORIED RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

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.

2.1 SUB 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

foundation. Foundation is a load bearing

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:

A. S hallow Foundation. B. Deep

Foundation.

Generally foundation in building construction is S hallow foundation (Raft Foundation)

2.1.1 SHALLOW 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:

2.1.1.1 INDIVIDUAL FOOTINGS

Fig 2.1 Individual footing Fig. 2.2 Plinth beam in footing

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

or below ground level.

2.1.1.2 STRIP FOOTINGS:

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.

2.1.1.3 RAFT OR MAT FOUNDATION:

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

a vessel that 'floats' in a sea of soil.

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,

they would touch each other.

2.1.2 DEEP FOUNDATION:

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.

2.1.2.1 PILE FOUNDATION:

A pile is basically a lo ng cylinder of a strong mate ria l such as concrete that is pushed into the

ground so that structures can be supported on top of it.

Pile foundations are used in the following situations :

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

layer of stronger soil or rock that is below the weak layer.

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

of pile foundations, each of which works in its own way.

P a g e | 11
CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI STORIED RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

Fig 2.3 Pile foundation

End Bearing Piles :

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

cream, the more load

P a g e | 12
CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI STORIED RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

it can support. This is very similar to how a friction pile works. In a friction pile, the amount of load

a pile can support is directly proportionate to its length.

2.2. SUPER STRUCTURE

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

6) Doors & Windows

FLOOR:

Fig. 2.4 Flooring

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

type of items are stored. Floor is used for walking around.

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,

in plan areas flat roofs are preferred.

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.

P a g e | 14
CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI STORIED RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

DOORS AND WINDOWS:

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.

CHAPTER 3.0

MATERIALS FOR CONSTRUCTION

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.

The approximate composition of Portland cement is given below

Lime(Cao) 60-70%

Silica(S iO2) 20-25%

Alumina(Al2O3) 5-10%

Ferric Oxide(Fe2O3) 2-3%

Table 3.1 Composition of Portland cement

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

grade of cement. The grades of cement are as:

P a g e | 17
CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI STORIED RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

33 Grade s

43 Grade s

53 Grade s

33 Grade OPC is used for general construction works like plastering and finishing works in normal

environmental conditions. However, its use is virtually phased out today.

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

At the site Portland cement of 53 grade s (JK SUPER CEMENT) is used. The cost per

beg = 355 rupees

The initial setting time of cement = 30 minute s (1/2 hr) The final

setting time of cement = 10 hrs.

P a g e | 18
CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI STORIED RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

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

comparative much cheaper as cement.

TYPES OF AGGREGATES:

1.Fine Aggregate

2.Coarse Aggregate

3.2.1 FINE AGGREGATE (SAND):

The aggregate, which pass through 4.75 mm, I.S. sieve and entirely retain on 75

micron(.075mm) I.S. sieve is known as fine aggregate.

FUNCTION OF FINE AGGREGATE:

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

workability of the concrete mix.

3.2.2 COARSE AGGREGATE:

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

Fig. 3.1 Coarse Aggregates

FUNCTION OF COARSE AGGREGATE:

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

of plan cement concrete (PCC), foundation, beams and columns etc.

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

smaller particles will fill up the voids between large particles.

This results in the most economical use of cement paste for filling the voids & binding together the

aggregate in the preparation of concrete.

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,

10 mm, 16 mm, & 32 mm as per requirement of design.

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.

P a g e | 21
CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI STORIED RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

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.

4.1.4 SHAPE TEST:

Equipment’s used:

* Thickness/Flakiness IndexGauge

* Length/Elongation IndexGauge

* Aggregate sample to be tested

Fig. 4.2 Shape Testing Apparatus

P a g e | 30
CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI STORIED RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

Shape of particle:

1. Rounded (river gravel)

2. Flaky (laminated rock)

3. Elongated

4. Angular( crushed rock)

Flaky:

A flaky particle is the one whose least dimension (thickness) is than 0.6 times the mean size. These

are the materials of which the thickness is small as compared to the other two dimensions. Limit of

flaky particles in the mixes is 30%. If the flaky particles are greater than 30% then the aggregate is

considered undesirable for the intended use.

Flakiness Index:

It is the percentage by weight of flaky particles in a sample.

Procedure for Flakiness Index:

Perform the sieve analysis on the given aggregate sample

The aggregates are then arranged in the into a number of closely limited particle size groups -

stored on the test sieves into a number of closely limited particle size groups – 2 ½’’ – 2’’, 1

½’’ – ¾’’ & ½’’ – 3/8’’.

Each group (fraction) is weighed and tested for thickness on appropriate opening of the

thickness gauge by passing each particle through slot of specified thickness along least

dimension.

P a g e | 31
CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI STORIED RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

The weight of particles passing the thickness gauge is recorded for each fraction. This

is the weight of flaky particles.

The flakiness index is calculated by expressing the weight of flaky particles as a percentage of

total weight of the sample.

Elongation:

These are the particles having length considerably larger than the other two dimensions and it is the

particle whose greater dimension is 1.8 times its mean size. Limit of elongated particles in the mixes

is 45%. Thus, if the elongated particles are greater than

45%, then the aggregate is considered undesirable for the intended use.

Elongation Index:

It is the percentage by weight of elongated particles in a sample. The Elongated index is calculated

by expressing the weight of Elongated particles as percentage of total weight of the sample.

5) Shallow tray & absorbent clothes.

Procedure:

Bout 2kg of the aggregate sample is washed thoroughly to remove fines, drained and then placed

in the wire basket and immersed in distilled water at a temperature between 22 to 320C with a

cover of at least 50 mm of water above the top of the basket

Immediately after the immersion the entrapped air is removed from the sample by lifting the

basket containing it 25 mm above the base of the tank and allowing it to drop 25 times at the

rate of about one drop per second. The basket and the aggregate should remain

completely immersed in water for a period of 24±0.5 hours afterwards.

The basket and the sample are then weighed while suspended in water at a temperature of 22 to

320C. The weight is noted while suspended in water (W1) g.

The basket and the aggregate are then removed from water and allowed to drain for a few

minutes, after which the aggregates are transferred to one of the dry absorbent clothes.

The empty basket is then returned to the tank of water, jolted 25 times and weights in

water (W2) g.

The aggregates placed in the dry absorbent clothes are surface dried till no further

moisture could be removed by this clothe.

Then the aggregate is transferred to the second dry cloth spread in a single layer, covered

and allowed to dry for at least 10 minutes until the aggregates are

P a g e | 33
CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI STORIED RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

completely surface dry. 10 to 60 minutes drying may be needed. The surface dried

aggregate is then weighed W3 g.

The aggregate is placed in a shallow tray and kept in an oven maintained at a temperature of

1100C for 24 hours. It is then removed from the oven, cooled in air tight container and

weighed W4 g.

Weight of saturated aggregate suspended in water with basket = W1 g

Weight of basket suspended in water = W2 g

Weight of saturated aggregate in water = (W1-W2)g = Ws g

Weight of saturated surface dry aggregate in air = W4 g

Weight of water equal to the volume of the aggregate = (W3-Ws) g

mm (8in) in diameter and it has a smaller opening at the top of 100

mm (4 in).

2. The base is placed on a smooth surface and the container is filled with concrete in three layers,

whose workability is to be tested .

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

brazed to the mould.

6. Immediately after filling is completed and the concrete is leveled, the cone is slowly and

carefully lifted vertically, an unsupported concrete will now slump.

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

the nearest 5 mm (1/4 in).

CHAPTER 7.0

PLASTER

The term plastering is used to describe thin cover that is applied on the surface of walls. It removes

unevenness of surface of walls. Sometimes it is use for decorative purpose also.

7.1 MORTAR FOR PLASTERING

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

P a g e | 55
CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI STORIED RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

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.

Fig. 7.1 Plastering

WATER PROOF MORTAR:

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

water and this soap water is added to the dry mix.

7.3 METHOD OF PLASTERING

According to the thickness of wall there are three method of plastering.

1. One coat method

2. Two coat method

3. Three coat method

1. ONE COAT METHOD:

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.

2. TWO COAT METHOD:

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

of second coat is usually about 2mm to 3mm.It is finished as per requirement.

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

of building comes on columns and beams.

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.
