Study Notes
Types of Occupants
- Group G includes factories, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and storage bins.
- Group H encompasses cinemas, amusement parks, and similar venues.
- Group I is designated for recreational or public assembly facilities.
- Group J pertains to agricultural-related uses.
Types of Construction
- Various classifications exist for construction types, focusing on design and material selection based on functional requirements and environmental conditions.
Land Preparation
- Essential factors in designing a building include:
- Functional planning requirements to meet usage needs.
- Technological aspects concerning structural integrity.
- Economic realities of project costs.
- Expressive qualities relating to aesthetics and style.
Building Loads
- Basic building loads consist of:
- Dead loads, which are stationary weights from structure components and fixtures.
Anatomy of the House
- Key structural components include:
- Fascia board, gutter, roof height, rafters, ceiling joists, and more.
- Ceiling lines, flooring materials, and various support structures play a vital role in design and safety.
Building Foundation Types
- Shallow Foundation:
- Found on firm soil within 1 to 5-6 meters beneath the lowest part of the superstructure.
- Ideal for closely placed columns, preventing overlap of individual footings.
- Deep Foundation:
- Consists of drilled shafts, also known as caissons, used extensively for structural support when surface conditions are not suitable.
Building Posts/Columns
- Posts and columns support axial, compressive loads.
- Types include:
- Tied Column: Constructed from reinforced concrete, utilizing longitudinal and tie reinforcement.
- Spiral Column: Reinforced concrete with continuous spiral reinforcement for enhanced strength.
Roofing Materials: Insulation and Waterproofing
- Built-up Roofing (BUR):
- Employs several layers of roofing felt impregnated with asphalt, creating a durable and impermeable surface.
- Membrane Roofing:
- Includes materials like EPDM, PVC, and neoprene, providing effective water barriers for flat or low-pitch roofs.
- EPDM is notable for its robust nature and effective seam management.
Summary of Terminology
- Individual Footing: A single footing supporting a singular column.
- Pile Foundation: A deep foundation type that transfers load to deeper, stable soil layers.
- Roofing Units: Square, defined as 100 square feet, used in calculating roofing material needs.
