Architectural Construction I/II Study Notes

Building Structure: Building comprises basement, ground floor, first floor, and a second floor (partitioned). Roof is flat on a portion of the second floor and pitched above. Structure is primarily solid, with a skeletal structure option for one assignment.
Exterior Walls: Walls use various materials:
Bearing Walls: Hollow block (25 cm), solid brick (25 cm), hollow block (19 cm)
Partition Walls: Hollow block (25 cm), hollow block (19 cm)
Thermal Insulation and Facade Treatments:
Wall Insulation: 14 cm thermal insulation + 12 cm facade brick; 16 cm insulation with mesh and mortar
Inter-floor Structure: Options include:
Reinforced concrete slab
T.M. construction
L.M.T. construction
Basement Wall: Reinforced concrete (20 cm), solid brick (25 cm)
Foundations: Strip foundations, either reinforced concrete (widths of 80, 90, 100 cm) or unreinforced concrete (widths of 80, 90, 100 cm)
Floors: Finishing materials depend on room function.
Grade: Curb around building is at -0.80 m elevation (relative to the baseline).
Floor Heights: Three options for floor heights: 299 cm, 309 cm, 315 cm.
Ground Floor Elevation: Absolute elevation of the ground floor needs to be defined.
Foundation Drawings: Four sets of architectural plans (Base 1-4) are required for graphical submissions.
Each drawing has ground floor and first floor plans then a second floor plan.
Drawing Specifications: Drawings must be done in pencil on paper (35 x 50 cm) with a 1:100 scale.
Drawing Content: The drawings should illustrate the building's structural components (masonry and frame), load-bearing structures, and partitioning elements. These are not meant to be strictly structural, some are non-structural.

This quiz covers essential concepts in Architectural Construction I and II, focusing on building structures, materials for walls, thermal insulation, and foundations. Topics include the use of hollow blocks and various construction methods for inter-floor and basement structures. Test your knowledge on the key elements of architectural design and construction techniques.
