Paper Title
A Study on Design of Residential Building Using Different Building Blocks
Abstract
Requirement for residential accommodation are different for different classes of people & depends on the income &status of the individual a highly rich family with require a luxurious building, while a poor man we satisfied with a single room house for even poor class family. A standard residential building of bungalow type with has drawing room, dining room office room, guest room, kitchen room, store, pantry, dressing room, bath room, front verandah, stair etc., for other house the number of rooms may be reduced according to the requirements of many available. Amongst all the crucial challenges faced by the developing countries, competent shelter for all people is one of those. According to a survey in India, by 2015 a shortage of 35-40 million houses with almost 99% of shortfall coming from families earning less than 5 lakhs rupees per year. The main objective of our research is to decrease the cost of building by replacing burnt clay bricks with economical and advanced materials like AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) blocks and without affecting the strength of the structures. This research has been done for middle income group and therefore we have taken 1 MIG unit in Bhubaneswar, Orissa. During building construction masonry work and plaster work are considered as one of the major aspect to reduce the construction cost.
