#)Principles of planning for residential and public building.

  •   Types of principles:-
  1. Aspect
  2. Prospect
  3. Orientation
  4. Privacy
  5. Circulation
  6. Grouping
  7. Roominess
  8. Furniture requirements
  9. Sanitation
  10. Elegance
  11. Economy
  12. Access
  13. Architectural composition
  14. Climate effect
1)Aspect:-
     Aspect is defined as the positioning of windows and doors in the external walls to take maximum advantage of natural gift such as sunlight and wind or breeze.

2) prospect:-
     Prospect means taking advantage of desirable view available from window ,door and balconies, of featured outside the building such as gardens ,lake, sea, river ,hill,etc.

3) orientation:-
  Orientation means the placement of rooms with reference to the north direction.
  The same plan can be placed on the plot in various ways to give different orientation.

4) privacy :-
    There are two principles of privacy
          A) External privacy.
          B) Internal privacy.
  A) External privacy
      This means privacy of the entire building from surrounding buildings.
   Privacy from noise and pollution from road .also privacy from congestion due to crowding of building.
 
  B) Internal privacy.
      This means that prevention of direct view inside any room from any other room or from passage.
     Proper placement of the door ensure the internal privacy.

 5) Circulation :-
   Circulation refers to movement from one place to other inside the building.
   The door must be arranged in such a way that minimum space is wasted in circulation.
    The wastage of space also depends on which side the door is hinged.

    Types of circulation:-
          A) horizontal circulation
          B) vertical circulation


6) Grouping:-
    This means planning rooms with same or similar function together as a group.
  This principle is more applicable in public building.

7) Roominess:-
   A psychological feeling about bigness or smallness of space ,e.g.of a room ,is called roominess.
     It is common observation that a square room appears smaller than a rectangular room of exactly the same area.

8)  Elegance :-
   it refers to the elevation of building .
   The front elevation of the building must be aesthetical pleasing and elegant.

Penetration test - Test on bitumen.

Crude petroleum obtained from different source contains different portion of different constituents.  Hence, it's properties may differ.  Therefore, to judge their suitability as binders following tests are required. :-  1) Penetration test . * 2) Ductility test.*  3) Softening test.*  4) Viscosity test.*  5) Float test.  6) Specifically gravity test.  7) Flash and fire point test.  8) Spot test.  9) Loss on heating test.  10) Water content test.  1) penetration test ( viscosity test on bitumen)  An indirect measure of viscosity is tie the amount of penetration of a standard needle under standard  conditions, of load time and temperature.  The test measure the hardness or softness of bitumen   in terms of 10mm of the standard needle.                  Fig. Penetrometer apparatus Standard conditions for penetration test:- a) Temperature :- 25° ( test to be performed after sample is kept for one hour in water bath at this temperature)  b) Load on needle :- 100 gm .  c) T

Approximate estimate : Method and it's solved numerical - Civil engineering. com

Introduction :  1) An approximate estimate an approximate or rough estimate prepared to obtain the cost of a project in short time.  2) Approximate estimate is required for administrative approval And to study the feasibility of a project.        Whether the new project is beneficial and to study cost - benefit ratio, approximate estimate is necessary.  3) Approximate estimate of any work is prepared for the purpose of information only.  4) It is also called planning estimate and is prepared for the purpose of information only.  Definition - Approximate estimate  Approximate estimate is made to find out an approximate cost in a short time, without taking out actual quantities. This enable the responsible authority to consider the financial aspects of the scheme.  In case commercial projects as irrigation, residential building  , and other similar project which earn revenue income, the probable income may be worked out.  Purpose of approximate estimate :-  1) To give rough idea of the
