Q.1) Imagine You Are Assigned As The Planning Engineer of A Green Building

You have been assigned as the planning engineer for a green building project to construct a bamboo hut. The hut is to have a circular plan with an inside carpet area of 76.057 sqft. It will have a circular lintel at 2.05m height, a central door opening of 0.8m x 2m, and two 50cm x 50cm windows on either side. The cone shaped roof is to have a central rise of 1.5m and a 60cm outward projection, and will be made of radially joined bamboo rods. You are asked to prepare the plan, elevation, and section drawings for approval, and estimate the required bamboo rod length within +/- 10m of the actual needed amount.

Q.

1) Imagine you are assigned as the Planning engineer of a Green building


Project.
You are asked to build a “Bamboo Hut”. Solid Bamboo rods of outer diameter
10cm are available as per your demand. The Bamboo hut is Circular in Plan and
should have a carpet area(inside) of 76.057 sq.ft. Foundation Details are given
below. Hut has a circular lintel bamboo rod with its centre line at 2.05m from
ground level. The front central door opening is 0.8m X 2m ( note : no door is
provided) . There are two window openings 50cm X 50cm on the east and west (
Left and Right ) at the middle of 3m high circular wall.
Roof is cone shaped with central rise 1.5m and has a 60cm outward projection for
sun shade. (Roof is also made with bamboo rods radially joined at the top of cone).
The line diagram for the trusses (2 no.s 90° to each other) is given below:

Foundation: PCC 60cmX10cm , RR masonary 40cm X 40cm


Prepare the Plan, Elevation and Section for the Hut for approval from your higher
authority. (Data : 1m2 = 10.76 sq.ft)
Q.2) What is Quantity surveying? What approximate length of bamboo rod will
you order for the above project(Q.1) for its successful completion. ( allowed
variance +/- 10m )
Soln:
Q.3) Differentiate between a Beam and a Column.
Q.4) 1m2 , 1 sq.ft , 1 cent . Arrange these in the increasing order of magnitude.

Q.5) Differentiate between a Simply supported beam and cantilever Reinforced


Concrete beam. What difference would you find in its cross sections ? Explain
briefly.
