G. SUPERSTRUCTURE ELEMENT OBSERVED

Superstructure Type of Structure and Material

Element:
Structure Reinforced Concrete Frame Work
 Reinforced concrete is concrete with steel placed in it to resist forces. A
concrete structure's reinforcing metal, bars, or mesh absorbs tensile, shear, and
compressive stresses.

wall Plastered cement sand bricks

 Cement plaster is a mixture of suitable plaster, sand, Portland cement and
water which is normally applied to masonry interiors and exteriors to achieve a
smooth surface.
 Interior surfaces sometimes receive a final layer of gypsum plaster.
Clay bricks
 These bricks are made from clay by burning it at high temperatures.
 The heat is responsible for fusing the clay particles, which leads to extremely
strong ceramic bonds in the bricks.
Roof covering Concrete roof tiles
 Concrete roof tiles become stronger when fired in the sun.
 Concrete roof tiles really contain hard elements.
Roof framing Metal Roof Trusses (Building)
 This supports and stabilizes the roof while distributing the weight away from
the building's outer walls.
 Trusses are commonly built of wood in homes and steel in commercial
buildings.
