Alternative For Wall Construction BY BASEERAT AMIRSEC C REVA UNIVERSITY

WALLS A wall is a structure that defines an area, carries a load, or provides shelter or security. There are many kinds of walls

TYPES OF WALLS TWO MOST SIMPLEST WAYS OF CATEGORISING BASED ON THERE CONTRUCTION ARE :- LOAD BEARING NON-LOAD BEARING

WHAT ARE LOAD BEARING WALLS

A structural wall actually carries the weight of your house, from the roof and upper floors, all the way to the foundation.

WHAT ARE NON LOADING WALLS

A wall capable only of supporting its own weight and (if it is an exterior wall) capable of resisting the force of the wind blowing against it; it cannot support an imposed load. Compare with load-bearing wall; also called a non-bearing wall.

WHYAlternatives For Wall Construction ?

GREEN STRUCTURE International Green Structures (IGS) offers innovative structures and services that provide the solution to the global housing crisis.IGS offers a more efficient and healthier way to build.With an ever expanding population, limited natural resources and a fragile global economy, the need for sustainable and affordable housing is greater than ever.

THE ALTERNATIVE SO YOU ALL WILL BE THINKING WHAT TO USE IF ITS NOT BRICKS ………..?

Compressed Agricultural Fibre

Compressed Agricultural Fibre is made of STRAW. (IGS)

ADVANTAGES OF USING STRAW AS WALL MATERIAL:-

Fire, water and mould resistant termite and pest resistant Straw bales are 100% biodegradable—when the time comes. Straw Bale homes can last over 100 years if properly maintained.Straw bale homes can be beautiful as the natural material lends itself to multiple architectural styles.

Concrete Insulated Walls

Insulating concrete form-work (ICF) is a cost effective, flexible, modular, permanent concrete form system. The basic unit of this system are expanded polystyrene (EPS) forms that are filled with concrete and steel reinforcement. There are two types of forms: planks and blocks.

Rammed Earth

Using wall forms, local earth materials are mixed with small amounts of cement, then compacted into the forms. When the rammed earth is dry the forms are removed. Rammed earth has many advantages over stick built homes. Rammed earth walls are very thick and contain a very high thermal mass. This reduces temperature variations inside, thus requiring less artificial heating and cooling in the building. Rammed earth structures are also fire and pest proof. However, if the exterior is not properly sealed, moisture damage could occur.

EVERYONE AROUND THE WORLD IS TRYING TO BRING A CHANCE, THEN LET IT BE LATE STEVE JOBS WITH IPHONE OR ELON MUSK ELECTRIC CARS or THE IDEA OF HYPERLOOP.…….PEOPLE ARE MOVING TOWARDS THE ECO FRIENDLY EARTH... WE AS FUTURE CIVIL ENGINEER`S HAVE TO BE READY.

SO…… THREE WORDS…….

DREAM BIG .WORK HARD.AND ACHIVE IT.
