Practicing in construction yard by making the examples of pre stressed components, industrial construction and speedy construction.

Exposure to advanced building construction practices on site of various items of work from foundation to roof and finishes. LIST OF ASSIGNMENTS 1. To study the various tools, equipments used in Precast and Prestressed works. 2. To construct examples of precast and prestressed works in construction yard. 3. To survey construction work on site and submit report. SECTION – B, BUILDING CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY

Structural Steel Works - Portal Frame Construction, North-light truss and Lattice girder roof with various roof coverings (corrugated metal sheets as roof panels - first to fourth generation sheets).

Introduction, methods of pre-stressing, types of post-tensioning systems. Types of pre-stressed concrete structures - Beams (Short span, medium span, long span), Girders & Joists. Slabs (one way, two way, flat slabs, hollow core slabs, planks), Single & Double T slabs. Channel sections, Folded plate structures. Composite construction.

Systems of pre fabrication – open prefab system, large panel prefab system, joints, pre-casting methods, materials, on-site and off-site prefabrication, components, etc. Precast RCC Frames - Beams and Column Frames, Wall Frames, Hollow core slabs, Planks and Tee slabs resting on Beam & Column frames and Wall frames. Connections between various components - beam to column, column to column, beam to slab, wall to slab.

Methods, Types of floor construction – cast in situ, precast & composite construction. One-Way Slabs - Solid slabs, Slabs with wide beams, Ribbed slabs (One-Way Joists), One-Way joists with wide beams, Troughed slabs (ribbed slabs with integral beams and level soffits). Two-Way Slabs - Solid slabs, Waffle slabs designed as Two-Way slabs, Waffle slabs designed as Two-Way slabs with integral beams and level soffits, Flat slabs, Flat slabs with drops, Flat slabs with column heads, Waffle slabs designed as flat slabs Lift slab construction, Cast-in-situ service & stair cores, Cross wall & Box frame construction.

• Aims, basis, planning, dimensioning. Assembly of components, tolerances, positioning of functional elements – slabs, walls, staircases. CONSTRUCTION PLATES 1. To understand large span structural steel works e.g. portal frames and truss-girder frames with various roof coverings products. 2. To understand the application of pre-stressed concrete in buildings – planks, hollow core slabs, single & double tee slabs, beams, columns and composite construction. 3. To understand the joint details in prefabricated buildings. 4. To understand one way and two way slab system in speedy construction. 5. To understand speedy construction techniques in buildings. 6. To understand the modular coordination in buildings’ design and their components. APPROACH
• The students would be familiarized with vernacular terminology as prevalent in this part of the country.
• The emphasis will be construction details as applicable to Indian conditions.
• Site visits and market surveys will be an integral part of sessional work.
