CONSTRUCTION PLATES
1. To understand large span structural steel works e.g. portal frames and truss-girder frames with various roof
coverings products.
2. To understand the application of pre-stressed concrete in buildings – planks, hollow core slabs, single & double
tee slabs, beams, columns and composite construction.
3. To understand the joint details in prefabricated buildings.
4. To understand one way and two way slab system in speedy construction.
5. To understand speedy construction techniques in buildings.
6. To understand the modular coordination in buildings’ design and their components.
APPROACH
The students would be familiarized with vernacular terminology as prevalent in this part of the country.
The emphasis will be construction details as applicable to Indian conditions.
Site visits and market surveys will be an integral part of sessional work.
