INTRODUCTION
Why do we need buildings?
Departments need more constraints on building construction
Cycle Process of building construction
Elements create building loading
Forces delivered to earth for building to be structurally
sound
Basic building confonent
Identify construction materials
Why do we need buildings?
We need shelter from sun, wind, rain, and snow.
We need dry, level platforms for our activities.
we need to stack these platforms to multiply available ground
space.
On these platforms, and within our shelter, we need air
that is warmer or cooler, more or less humid, than outdoors.
We need less light by day, and more light by night,
than is offered by the natural world.
We need services that provide energy, communications
and water and disposal of wastes.
So we gather materials and assemble them into
the constructions we call buildings to satisfy these
needs.
Constraints on building construction
Health codes : Occupational health and safety
Fire codes
Plumbing codes
Electrical codes
Building Contractors’ and Labor Unions’
Regulations
Cycle process of building construction
The main stages are:
1: Planning
2: Design
3: Tendering
4: Construction Process
5: Handover
6: Evaluation
Elements create building loading
Various loads are taken into account while designing the
foundation of a structure loads coming on a structure are:
Two broad categories:
1. Dead loads
2. Live loads
Specific terms for dead loads and live loads:
1. Concentrated load
2. Distributed load
3. Design load
4. Undesigned load
5. -Fire load
Imposition of Loads
Loads must be transmitted to structural
elements
Terms associated with imposition:
1. Axial load
2. Eccentric load
3. Torsion load
Structural Elements
Buildings are an assembly of structural elements designed to
transfer loads to the earth
Can be defined simply as:
1. Beams
2. Columns
3. Walls
4. Connections
Beams
Transfers loads perpendicular to its length
Types of beams:
1. Simple beam
2. Continuous beam
3. Cantilever beam
4. Lintel
5. Girder
6. Joist
7. Truss and Purlin
Columns
Any structural component that transmits a compressive force
parallel through its center
Typically support beams and other columns
Generally vertical supports of building
Can be vertical, horizontal, or diagonal
Walls
Really long, but slender, column
Two categories:
1. Load-bearing walls
• Carries weight of beams, other walls, floors, roofs,
other structural elements
• Also carries weight of the wall itself
2. Non-load-bearing walls
• Need only support its own weight
• Example: partition wall between two stores in a strip
mall
Connections
Weak link as it relates to structural failure during fires
– Often small, low-mass material that lacks capacity to
absorb heat
Three categories:
1. Pinned
2. Rigid
3. Gravity

Identify construction
materials
Many factors determine which material is used to
form structural elements:
– Cost
– Application
– Engineering capabilities
– Adaptability
Each material reacts to fire in a different way
Wood
Most common building material
Relatively inexpensive
Marginal resistance to forces compared to weight
Native wood with more mass takes longer to burn before
strength is lost
Engineered wood
– Plywood delaminates when exposed to fire
– Some composites fail through exposure to heat without
burning
Steel
Mixture of carbon and iron ore
Excellent tensile, shear, and compressive strength
Popular choice for:
– Girders
– Lintels
– Cantilevered beams
– Columns
Loses strength as temperatures increase
Concrete
Mixture of portland cement, sand, gravel, and water
Excellent compressive strength
All concrete contains some moisture
Under heat, moisture expands and causes concrete to crack
and spall
Concrete can stay hot long after the fire is out
Masonry
Common term that refers to brick, concrete block, and stone
Used to form load-bearing walls
Veneer wall supports its own weight
Mortar holds units together and have little or no tensile
or shear strength
Excellent fire-resistive qualities
Cement
Mixture of calcium silicates and aluminium cilicates
and aluminium ferrite
It is give good compressive strength
It have good setting time
It is hygroscopic material
We use as binding material
