Walls – these could be classed as load bearing or a none load bearing infill panels. When a wall is load bearing they are deemed structural elements as they carry a structural force down to the foundations. When building a load bearing wall they must be made to withstand great structural force this can be done with denser materials. None load bearing walls are none load bearing as the name suggests so they do not have no structural importance. They are usually walls like stud walls for…
Fisher Building in Chicago could be a perfect example to demonstrate. This tall office building used an exterior structure called The Chicago school style, also known as commercial style. The Chicago school style mainly introduced new technology of steel-frame construction in commercial buildings. Unlike Monadnock across the street, which used earlier masonry wall-bearing type of construction, fisher building used skeletal steel columns to support the entire structure. The exterior wall doesn’t support the whole structure at all, instead, surface of exterior wall decreased and changed into windows to provide sufficient sunlight for interior space.…

The Farnsworth House adopted an elongated rectangular form like Mies’ previous project the Barcelona Pavilion. The house can be divided into two major components, the inhabited glass house and the front terrace. Two sets of steps connected the ground to terrace and then the inhabited space. The choice of construction materials in the Farnsworth House is apparent. Large ceiling to floor glass was used to wrap around the entire living space so that all internal space can be exposed to the natural surroundings with the exception of the bathrooms and mechanical room which are bounded by a central core of wall. The structural units which stretch between the ceiling and the floor slab are eight wide flange steel columns installed on the exterior of the glass house. They were painted white to define the edge of the slabs. The approach of exterior structural member ensures a maximum area of internal space.…

The stones and wood are interlocked within themselves and no cementing mortar is used to bind them. The main benefit of not using a cementing mortar is that, the infill stones trap the air within the wall due to which the heat is retained which helps the house to remain cool during summers and warm during winters. Moreover kath-khuni is also resilient to seismic forces because the inbuilt gaps between the rubble absorb all the frictional forces which are generated during the time of earthquake hence safeguarding the structure against sliding and overturning. The gaps evenly distribute all the energy which as a result further ads up to the energy dissipation capacity of the structure without endangering the structural configuration and the vertical load carrying ability of the structure. The interconnection of the walls and roof together with the foundation makes the structure a monolith unit. The overall thickness of the wall ranges from 45-60cm. the thick and heavy walls give way for a very good thermal insulation and help maintaining a constant temperature within by providing a high time lag which is usually greater than 8 hours. For the two bottommost layers single wooden logs while for the upper layers double wooden logs are used. The open spaces (height ~ 30cm) between the horizontal logs are furnished with well-dressed flat…
This is what has been used from the beginning of the construction industry. In the previous eras constructions where not done using metal and concreate And the building materials where clay blocks and mostley used lime to do the finishers. With the exsisting building materials it was very convineant for the builders to use the conventional type of construction since it use less machinery which where not available in olden days and other technologies. The conventional type of construction has become famouse among the builders since its convineace and the involment of low…

General Steel buildings offer clear-span construction of up to 300 feet in width and unlimited length capabilities. A General Steel building is versatile and consumers as well as businesses worldwide use General Steel buildings for aircraft hangars, church, schools, manufacturing facilities, warehouses and many other applications. All General Steel buildings are pre-welded, pre-drilled, and pre-punched at the factory prior to shipment to it’s international destination. This pre-engineering allows for a quick erection time along with less jobsite investment of time and money. General Steel buildings can save you money. A General Steel building can save you time but money compared to a similar sized conventional structure.…

Large-panel construction one of the industrialized building techniques was first used in the Soviet Union. It consist in the application of prefabricated reinforced concrete panels one or two storeys high. Travelling shuttering is another method, applied at the construction sites. It consists in erecting the building both from bottom and upper floors. Builders of Lithuania, Latvia, Moldova widely use this advanced method. Each house has its own attractive appearance there. Nowadays the profession of a builder plays an important role in our society. It attracts many numbers of people. New…
