Sem.IComponents of a Building...

A Building can be broadly divided into two parts; Sub-structure (portion below ground, transmit load to ground) Super-structure (portion above Plinth level)

Building components can be summarized as;

• Foundations• Plinth• Walls• Columns & Beams• Floors• Doors & Windows

(Openings)

• Stairs & Lifts• Roof• Lintels and Arches• Building Finishes (Plastering,

Pointing)• Building Services (Plumbing,

Electrical, Water Supply, Sewerage, Utility..)

Sem.I1.FoundationExcavation, Foundation, Footing, Plinth, Column..

Foundation Types: Shallow and Deep.Section of a Foundation

Sem.I2. Plinth Dividing line between substructure

and superstructure. Lowest part of Superstructure,

above ground level. 30-75cm in height depending upon

the locality/soil type. DPC provided at plinth level to

prevent moisture from rising to the walls of building.

Sem.I3. Walls A masonry structure provided

above the Plinth. Two types: Load Bearing, Non-

load bearing (Framed structure).

Provided to enclose or divide the floor space in a pattern and provide privacy, security & protection.

Load Bearing Brick Wall

Column Beam Structure

Sem.I4. Columns and Beams A masonry structure provided

above the Plinth. Two types: Load Bearing, Non-

load bearing (Framed structure).

Provided to enclose or divide the floor space in a pattern and provide privacy, security & protection.

RCC Beam Structure

RCC Column

Wood Column

Sem.I5. Floors Flat

supported elements, dividing a building into different levels.

Sem.I6. Openings: Doors A door may be defined as a barrier secured in an opening left in a

wall to provide usual means to access to a building room or passage.

Sem.I7. Openings: Windows A window may be defined as an opening left in the

wall for the purpose of providing daylight, ventilation and vision.

Sem.I8. Lintels & Arches Its over Doors and Windows in

walls facility at safe transfer of loads to its supports.

Sem.I9. Stairs & Lifts A Stair may be

defined as a structure comprising of a number of steps connecting one floor to another.

Sem.I10. Roof It is an uppermost component of a building and its

main function is to cover the space below and provide protection from sun, rain, snow, wind, etc.

Sem.I11. Building Finishes A Building is considered incomplete till such time the

surface of its component is given appropriate treatment. It includes items like plastering, colour washing, pointing, painting, etc.

Sem.I12. Building Services It includes services like water supply, drainage,
