Types of construction
The
Framed construction :
This type of construction is suitable for multistoried and
industrial buildings .
It consists of frames with flexible joints and bracing
members .
Such buildings shall be adequately strengthened
against lateral forces by shear walls and bracing
systems in plan, elevation and sections such that
earthquake forces shall be resisted by them in any
direction .
Staircase
Location of staircase
The staircase in structure may be vulnerable if
not detailed properly. When attached rigidly
to the floors, the flights of the staircases act
like braces and cause damage.
There are three types of stair construction:
Separated staircase.
Built-in staircase.
Staircase with sliding joints.
Separated staircase.
Built in staircase

FOUNDATIONS
*
* A third option is to
construct a floating
foundation, which is a
special type of Deep
foundation in which the
weight of the structure is
balanced by the removal
of soil and construction
of an underground
basement.
A floating foundation could help reduce the
amount of rocking settlement caused by the
Earthquake.
The typical factors that govern the selection of a particular type of foundation are:
Bearing
Capacity Failure
Settlement
Quality
Adequate
Strength
Adverse Soil

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 subsurface layer or a
range of depths.
A pile is a vertical
structural element of a
deep foundation, driven
deep into the ground at
the building site.
