 Components of building

 Substructure

R EINFORCE
Substructure or foundation is the lower portion of the building, usually located below the
ground level, which transmits the load of the superstructure to the supporting soil.

 Superstructure
Superstructure is that part of the structure which is above ground level and which serves
reinforceqst.com
the purpose of its intended use. A part of the superstructure, located between the ground
and the floor level is known as plinth.

 Anti - Termite Treatment (ATT)

 After excavation, compaction is done on the earth’s surface and then it is treated with termite
control (Anti fungus spray). Generally Earth is treated to control the attack of the insects to the

R EINFORCE
structure and protecting the Sub-Structure item from future damage; Liquid spray is sprayed on
the Surface of the Earth and is kept open to the atmosphere for 24 hours to kill all types of insects
which is likely to come in future time.

 What is Foundation?

 Foundation is the lowest part of building or substructure that transfer the

R EINFORCE
load of superstructure to the soil on which we erect the building.

 Types of foundation-

1. Shallow foundation
reinforceqst.com
2. Deep foundation
https://app.reinforceqst.com
 Shallow Foundation
 When length and width > depth

R EINFORCE
 Depth up to 1.5 m

 Types of Shallow foundation-

1. Isolated footing 2. Combined footing-

 Plain footing (may be square or rectangle)  Plain combined footing

Step footing  Trapezoidal combined footing


reinforceqst.com
 Trapezoidal footing (Slope) 3. Raft foundation

 Shoe footing (Eccentric) https://app.reinforceqst.com

 Plain Footing
 These footing are generally common in both India as well as other countries. It is easy

R EINFORCE
to construct and consume less time. It is construct where the soil bearing capacity is
normal (Good). SBC = 24 kn/m².

 Its is one footing in on whole plot and it provided in a places like seashore area, coastal area or
beach area where the water table is very high and the soil bearing capacity is weak. Such as five

star hotels and High-rise buildings near the beaches.
 When number of column in more than one row, provided with a combined footing, the footing is
called as Mat or Raft Footing.

 Spiral Stairs
 A compact design centered around a single pole, so that if you looked at it from the
above. They are typically found in beach houses and compact cities because of the

R EINFORCE
small amount of space they require.

 Curved Stairs
 Like spiral stairs, curved stairs follow a helical arc. However, they tend to have a much larger
radius and typically do not make a full circle. Curved stairs add elegance to any home or

R EINFORCE
business. For this reason, they are almost always located at the entry where they make the best
first impression.

 Cantilever stairs are made to have the stair treads appear to be floating in the air without
support.

 Ladders like stairs however building puts do not allow ladders to serve as a primary means
of access. Ladders are used for libraries, lofts and docks.

 Stone Stairs
 Stone stairs are heavy and require strong supports. They are preferred for threshold. They
are widely used in places where ashlar stones are readily available.

 Timber Stairs
 Timber stairs are light and easy to construct but are very poor in resistance. These stairs
are generally used in low rise buildings. The wood used is well treated fire resistance

R EINFORCE
hardwood of proper thickness should be used.



 Cement = Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC)

 Grade of Cement = 33, 43, 53 N/mm²

 Density of Cement = 1440 kg/m³

 One bag of cement = 50 kg



 Water – cement ratios of 0.40 to 0.60 are more typically used.

 For higher-strength concrete, lower ratios are used, along with a plasticizer to increase
