INTRODUCTION TO BUILDING
& BUILDING DRAWING
1.1 BUILDING AND ITS INTRODUCTION
A building can be defined as a structure mainly consisting of sub and super structure elements
built over a provided surface area for different use such as residence, education, business and so on.
‘The method of construction and purpose of construction of building depends upon the budget,
needs of clients, environmental factors, location of site, materials available, use of buildings and so
on.
Generally, buildings are constructed in accordance to the building codes and building byelaws
Of the respective areas. The byelaws mainly provide an outline on side and rear setbacks, minimum
height and area of habitable room, minimum dimension of door and windows and so on that should
be considered during the construction of buildings. Apart from building byelaws, a building should
ensure thermal comfort, proper ventilation, desirable illumination and so on and it should satisfy the611 Introduction to Building & Building Drawing
uirements of the person residing on the buildings.

Thus, a building is regarded as one of the most important basic need of a living being.
good building must fulfill following basic requirements.
+ It should be durable and strong enough to withstand the natural and artificial effects.
= It should provide maximum living comfort to the inhabitant.
— It should have enough illumination and enough ventilation.
— It should be free from damness.
~ It should be stable to the anticipated loads. : =
— It should utilize local available construction materials as far as possible.
— Itshould be economical

1.3 STRUCTURAL SYSTEM OF BUILDING
Over many years, engineers have observed that some structural system perform better in
earthquakes than others. Based on these observations, the design criteria for building structures
are based on structural system used. Structural system are categorized based on materials of
construction (concrete, masonry, steel or wood)
The broad categories of structural systems include:
- Bearing wall system ,
~ Bearing frame system
~ Moment-resisting frame system
~ Dual systems
~ Cantilever column system
~ Systems not specifically designed for sésmic resistanceRCC Framed Structure Load Bearing Structure
Fig of Structural Systems of Building
However, in our course we mainly study about Bearing wall systems and bearing frame
systems, These systems are broadly described under detail drawing.
1.4 ANATOMY OF A BUILDING
Anatomy of a building refers to the study of external system and the uses of those structures of
a building. A building is made of up two structures: sub and super structures. The portion of
building below surrounding ground is sub-structure and portion above ground is terme

COMPONENTS OF A BUILDING
Sub-structure
The Portion of building below the surrounding part and ground level is known as st
structure. The main component of sub-structure of a building is its foundation.
Foundation: Foundation is the lowest part of structure which connects super-structure to the
ground and transmits all the dead, live and other loads to the soil. The foundation of structu®
is designed such that soil is not stressed beyond its safe allowable bearing capacity.
Purpose of foundation
; nt
A foundation does not provide ‘Support to the structure, In fact it transmits the load of soil 10
soil below. Foundation is provided for following Purposes,
~ To distribute the weight of structure over large area to avoid over load of soil beneath.
To prevent unequal settlement of soil
To provide level surface for building operations.
To take structure deep in ground and increase stability and prevent overturning.2)

Super-Structure
It is the portion of a building above the plinth ground level. The components of ,super-
structures are described as follows:
2) Wall: Wall are constructed to enclose or divide floor spacing in a designed pattern.
‘Additionally, walls provide security, protection and privacy against weather and other factors
Walls are constricted by building construction units like bricks, stone, concrete blocks and 0

b) Column and Beams
Columns are load bearing vertical structural members of small section of bricks, stone, concrete
blocks and so on whereas beams are defined as horizontal structural member provided rested above
walls and columns. The main function of beams is transmission of dead and live loads of the
structure equally to the adjoining columns. And the columns transmit the resultant loads to the
foundation. The distance between two columns is generally kept between 8ft-13ft but it is advised
not to cross the 15 ft mark.

¢ Floor: Floors are the basic supporting elements of a building. They are mainly used to sree °
accommodation of a given plot by dividing a building into different layers. The main purpose
floor is to provide a useable and comfortable platform for people and other items like furniture,
equipment etc. Floors are referred to by their location, A floor that provides accommodation above
natural ground surface is termed as basement or ground floor. Similarly the floors are named as
ground floor, 1 floor, 2" floor and so on. A floor generally consists of two components.
1) Sub-floor: It is the structural component responsible to support al the dead and live loads
1) Flooring: It isa desirable layer provided over sub-floor asa finishing layer.

4) Roof and Slabs
Roof is the uppermost component of a building with a motive of protection of the buil ding
components. Whereas slabs are the structural component consisting’ of concrete with rods which
Separate adjoining floor layers. A slab is constructed in a building following building byelaws. A
roof basically consists of two components. Roof decking and Roof covering. The roof decking is the
structural component which supports roof covering. The roof can be flat, pitched or curved,

1.5.1 Bullding Materials
the minimum area must be 28 sam, yiy
The major building materials as defined by National Building Code 2072 are as follows:
1. Concrete: The concrete to be used in footings, columns, beams and slabs etc shall have ¢
minimum crushing strength of 15 N/mm? at 28 days for a 150 mm cube.
2. Cement: Cement shall be as fresh as possible. Any cement stored for more than two mont
from date of receipt from factory should be avoided or tested and used only if the test els
are found to be satisfactory. Any cement used shall be ordinary fortland cement meeting ®
requirements of NS: 049-2041. It is advisable to use cement which has obtained the NS matt
independent tests are not carried out.
3. Coarse aggregate: Coarse aggregate shall consist of crushed or broken stone and shall be
strong, dense, durable, clean of proper grading and free from any coating likely to spool
adhesion of motar. The flaky, elongated pieces shall be avoided. The agsreette 5.5

5. Brickwork: The brick masonry shall be built with the usually specified core Reni
soaking of bricks in water, level bedding of planes fully covered with mortar, v
broken from course to course and their filling with mortar fully. hit
Bricks: The bricks shall be of standard rectangular shape, burnt red, hand-formed or macl a
made and of crushing strength not less than 3.5 N/min?, The higher the density and the strengt! i
the better they will be. The standard brick size of 240 x 115 x 57 mm with 10 mm thick horizontal
and vertical mortar joints is preferable. Tolerances of -10 mm on length, - 5mm on width and +3
mm on thickness shall be acceptable for purpose of thick walls in this MRT.
Wall thickness: A minimum thickness of wall is one half of a brick and a maximum thickness of
is one brick length shall be used.
8, Motar: Cement-sand mixes of 1:6 and 1:4 shall be adopted for one-brick and a half-brick thick
walls, respectively. The addition to motars of small quantities of freshly hydrated lime in a ratio
of 1/4 to 1/2 of cement will greatly increase their plasticity without reducing their strength.
Hence, the addition of lime within these limits is encouraged.
9. Plaster: All plasters should have a cement sand mix not leaner than 1:6. They shall have
+ minimum 28 days cube crushing strength of 3N/mm?,

al masonry and concrete.
1.6 BUILDING DRAWING AND ITS SCALE
Building drawing involves the two dimensional drawing ofa building plan, section, elevation
and so on. Building codes define about the scale to be used in various types of drawings, Scale of a
drawing shows the ratio of distance on land to that of distance shown on plan/map for came object.
The scale conversion between metric system and inches system is ai follows:

Thickness of wall should be drawn as per provided data. Normally, a R.C.C. framed structure
external wall have thickness of 230 mm while the intemal walls have 150 mm thickness
Generally plastering is already included in the thickness of wall. So, 100 mm and 200 mim thick
walls excluding plasters is better than 230 mm and 150 mm walls in real practice. A load
bearing structure will have (200mm - 300 mm) thick wall throughout the plan. Any wall having
a thickness less than 200 mm cannot be a load bearing wall
The internal dimensions for room is considered and internal walls are drawn according to
provided data.
For residential buildings, the doors and window frames are kept in flush with inside of wall. It
is to create full swing in shutter and create maximum clearance through the opening.
However for public buildings, doors and windows open outside. Hence, door and windows are
aligned with flush outside. ’
‘The movement from one room to another should be considered while drawing doors and
windows. So, shutters should be shown with direction of opening by the symbol.
Proper care should be taken while panning the location of doors. No two shutters should
intersect. No shutters should be partly or fully blocked.
The walking space between two rooms (generally called passage) should be always free.
The verandah columns must not obstruct the full view of main entrance door or window of
drawing room.
Projects from walls, beams and other structures which are above the sill of windows should be
shown using dotted lines.
Extension and diniension lines should be drawn on all sides.
‘The room dimension should be written clearly. .
Three way dimension system should be tised while dimensioning. First the size of individual
structures, then center-center dimension and finally the overall dimension.
The overall dimension should tally the sum of dimensions along the direction.
A line of 5 mm height, roughly at centre of room should be drawn to provide title for the room.
Scale used while drawing the plan should be written as 1 cm = 1 m but never as 1 m= 1 cm, ie.
It should be a fraction but never more than 1.
Finally 2B pencil should be used to highlight the visible portion,
Hatching of the sections should be dove according to requirement.52 || Planning and Drawing of Residential Building

vertical plane XY, the part of building (part 1) is removed as shown, d
Now remaining portion of the building is projected behind on a vertical plane by standing in ron
it (Part 2). Thus obtained product (part 2) is the section or sectional elevation of the building.
dABuilding Drawing || 53
Sections are drawn to exhibit the constructional details of the structure from bed level to the top of
roof. These details mainly provide information about thickness of walls and foundation of walls,
height of doors and windows, flooring details for finishing and so on. In short, section provide all the
information related to building which are invisible on plan and elevation.

Section line is a broken line with evenly spaced alternative one long and two short dashes.
A section line should comprise of all the details of the plan. So, it should pass through doors,
windows, cupboard, bathroom, w.c. and stairs.
Section should be drawn alongside elevation by projecting lines. ’
Vertical lines from floor level representing'depth (vertical) and heights from floor level to
foundation bed level and floor level to the top of the room should be drawn.
Vertical dimensions should be properly given.
3.4 ELEVATION
The appearance of building above ground level in vertical plane is elevation.
The most common type of elevation is front elevation however sometimes side elevation also
as end view is also drawn. While drawing elevation, we imagine to stand in front of it.
Whatever portion of building is visible above ground level, is taken behind the building on a vertical
Plane (first angle projection). Thus elevation will be obtained.
