Structure analysis

WHAT IS STRUCTURE ?
Structure usually refers to any large manmade object permanently fixed to earth surface as a result of
a construction.

Structure and load are inter related with each other.so to analysis any architectural system we have
to have a clear concept about different types of load.

DEAD LOAD
The weight of primary elements of a building such as beams, floor slab, column and produce a dead
load on the structure.

LIVE LOAD
All the moveable objects in a building such as people, desks, cupboards and felling cabinets, produce
a superimposed load on the structure.

WIND LOAD
Wind has become a very important load in recent years due to the extensive use of lighter materials
and more efficient building technology.
Structure analysis
EARTH PRESSURE:
The horizontal force of a soil mass exerts on a vertical retaining structure.

SETTLEMENT LOAD :
If one part of the building settles more than another part, stresses are setup in the structures. If the
structure is flexible, then the stresses will be small but if the structure is stiff, the stress will be severe
unless the two part of the building are physically separated.

DYNAMIC LOAD :
Dynamic loads which include impact and aerodynamic loads aero complex. In essence the magnitude
of a load can be greatly increased by dynamic effects.

TYPES OF STRUCTURAL SYSTEM:

Three are several types of structural system as follows,
1.Wall slab
2.Post slab
3.Post lintel
4.Steel structure
5.Stone structure
6.Sheel structure

BRICK WORK
Brick work masonary is produced when a brick layer
usages bricks and morter to build up structures such as
Stretcher bond
walls, bridges and chimneys. Brick work is also used to
finish openings such as doors or windows in buildings
made of other materials. Where bricks are to remain fully
visible, as opposed to being covered up by plaster or
stucco, this is known as face –work. Header bond

TYPES OF BOND
When laying bricks, the manner in which the bricks English bond
overlap is called the bond. A brick laid with the longest
side exposed is called a stretcher brick, as opposed to a
header, where only the smallest end of bricks is exposed
to the weather. The length of one stretcher is the same as
two header bricks, side by side, including the 10mm join Scottish bond Rat-trap bond
between.
Wall slab analysis
ARCH
CAVITY WALL Arch is an structure capable of spanning a
Cavity walls are masonry walls that have two skins of space while supporting significant weight.
masonry separated by a cavity (a hollow space)
The masonry skins of a cavity wall can be brick work,
block work or similar. Different masonry materials can be
used on either side of the cavity. The cavity is initially
empty but can be filled with insulation by various
methods .The benefits of cavity walls are widely
recognised and they are most commonly used form of
external wall in u.k . due to flexibility, cost effectiveness
and potential for insulation

ADVANTAGES
1.Brick wall has its own true expression.
2.Wall could be ornamented with various brick bond.
4.Brick wall is a good thermal insulator.

DISADVANTAGES
1.Openings are limited
2.Only suitable for low storied building
3.Building structure are dangerous in earth quake region
