    The document summarizes a site visit to a load bearing residential building that is one story tall. It describes the building's components including the parapet wall, load bearing walls, slab, brick foundation, and discusses the superstructure and substructure. The superstructure includes the parapet wall, slab, load bearing walls, plinth, damp proof course, and partition walls. The substructure consists solely of the foundation, which transmits the load of the superstructure into the ground.

    Site visit on load bearing building

    Type of structure: Load bearing structure.


    No. of storey: G + 1 storey building.
    Use of structure: Residential building.
    Population Density: medium populated
    Date of study:

    Introduction
    On January 24, 2018, we visited construction site, we saw construction of
    load bearing structure. Also we saw different part of load bearing structures like,
    parapet wall, load bearing wall, slab, brick foundation etc.

     COMPONENTS OF LOAD BEARING STRUCTURES
    A building has a two basic part:

    1. Super structure

    1. Parapet Wall

    2. Slab

    3. Load Bearing Wall

    4. Plinth

    5. D.P.C.

    2. Sub structure

    1. Foundation

    1. SUPER-STRUCTURE

    Super structure is that part of structure which is above the ground level.

    1. Parapet Wall

    A parapet is a barrier which is an extension of the wall at the edge of


    a roof, terrace, balcony, walkway or other structure.

    2. Slab

    A concrete slab is a common structural element of modern buildings

    3. Load Bearing Wall

    A load-bearing wall or bearing wall is a wall that is an active structural


    element of a building, that is, it bears the weight of the elements above said
    wall, resting upon it by conducting its weight to a foundation structure. The
    materials most often used to construct load-bearing walls in large buildings
    are concrete, block, or brick.
    4. Plinth

    Plinth is the part of building it is located between floor level and ground level.

    5. D.P.C.

    A damp-proof course (DPC) is a barrier through the structure designed to


    prevent moisture rising by capillary action such as through a phenomenon
    known as rising damp
    6. Sill level

    A window sill (also written as windowsill or window-sill) is the surface at the


    bottom of a window

    7. Partition wall

    A partition wall is a wall that


    separates rooms, or divides a
    room. Partition walls are
    usually not load-bearing.
    Partition walls do not carry any
    type of loading from super
    structure.
    Generally it is used for
    dividing two spaces.
    It is made up of different
    materials like, brick, timber
    ply-wood, etc.

    .
    2. SUB-STRUCTURE

    Sub-structure is the lower portion of the building, usually located below the
    ground level, which transmits the load of the super-structure to the supporting
    soil.

    1. Foundation
    Foundation is therefore the part of the structure which is in direct contact with the
    ground to which the loads are transmitted.
