Aims
Aim of the module is to introduce modern building construction technology, forms of buildings structures, building structural element design, finishing, and understanding of regulatory standards. This module focuses on the technology of low-rise & multi-story residential, commercial & institutional buildings designed for both private and public use.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Identify the technologies used in different types of buildings, the forms of substructures and superstructures and the principles of planning and designing building structural elements
2.
Identify range of processes and techniques involved in the construction of the secondary elements and finishes of various types of buildings
3.
Identify and apply various legislative requirements for internal spatial planning and design development requirements of local authorities and regulatory bodies
4.
Identify and understand the usage and behavior of wide range of materials in various types and forms of buildings and material testing
