ADOPTION OF APPROPRIATE

TECHNOLOGIES

22

23

Prior to RCC / Concrete technology , Type of structures using

conventional methods are

➢Stone structures with lime or mud mortars.

➢ Mud houses with thatched roofing.

➢Timber houses.

Draw backs of conventional methods :

➢Originally they are not designed to resist earthquake pressure.

➢Now designs have modified to suit earthquake pressure also by introducing

CC bands and vertical reinforcement.

➢This will increase the utilisation of high energy materials like steel and

cement.

24

NEED TO ADOPT APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGIES:

• THE BASIC CONCEPT FOR ADOPTION OF APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGIES IS

TO:

➢ MINIMISE THE UTILISATION OF HIGH ENERGY MATERIALS LIKE CEMENT &

STEEL ETC.

➢ PROVIDE MORE LABOUR INTENSIVE

➢ ADOPTION OF COST EFFECTIVE TECHNOLOGIES, LOCAL TRADITIONS

➢ UTILISATION OF LOCAL MATERIALS 25

Appropriate Technologies

RAT-TRAP

• The rat trap bond is a masonry

technique, where the bricks are used in a

way that creates a cavity within the

wall, while maintaining the same wall

thickness as of a conventional brick

masonry wall.

• While in a conventional English bond or

Flemish bond, bricks are laid flat, in a

Rat trap bond, they are placed on edge

forming the inner and outer face of the

wall, with cross bricks bridging the two

faces49

50

When rat trap bond is used for load bearing structures:

a)Room corners are to be provided with solid construction .

b)First layer, sill level layer, 1st layer above lintel level, layer below slab to be of solid

layer

c)Usage of Half bricks or Quarter bricks to be avoided.

Rat-trap brick masonry51

52

CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN

• The principal requirement for rat-trap brickwork is the availability of

good quality bricks. The following may be considered as a guiding

principle for ensuring strength of bricks for Rat-trap brickwork:

Type of building construction – Span not exceeding 4.2 0meters, Roof/ floor loads as per IS 875

Recommended compressive strengthof brick

Best Practice Minimum allowable

Load bearing, double storied More than 50 kg/cm2 40 kg/cm2

Load bearing, single storied More than 40 kg/cm2 35 kg/cm2

Infill masonry walls in framed structure ( no restriction on number of stories)

Minimum 35 kg/cm2

Cross joint53

T - joint End Situation at Opening

54

• Use wooden strip to prevent mortar from falling into the cavities.

•Rat-trap brickwork is modular in nature. Follow a modular design for

length of walls and sizes of door-window openings -the module size

depends on the available bricks.

•Always lay the first 2 courses of brickwork in a dry run (without mortar) to

ensure the exact location and size of openings as per the rat-trap module

and to ensure that joints in the remaining courses will be properly

staggered with the first 2 courses.

• A solid course of brickwork should be laid at plinth, door and window sill/

lintel level and roof level.

• For exposed brick masonry, pointing should be done with rich

cement mortar.

57

ADVANTAGES:a) Economy in use of bricks- 400 bricks are needed in Rat-trap bond

masonry instead of 500 Nos. in Conventional brick walls.

b) Saving in quantity of cement and sand . 0.15cum of Cement Mortar

instead of 0.20cum .

c) Provides better thermal comfort , because of the air cavity in the

brickwork - the building interior remains cooler in summer and

warmer in winter.

d) Rat-trap brickwork with good pointing has an aesthetic appearance

and need not be plastered – which is further saving in cost.

e) Vertical electrical conduiting can run in the cavity of brickwork.

LIMITATIONS:

• It is most suited where good quality bricks with straight and sharp edges are available

• When good quality and uniform size bricks are not available, avoid Rat trap masonry work.

• If the mason is not skilled enough, cement mortar can get wasted by falling into the wall cavity.

• Needs pre-planning in case of concealed electrical conduiting, because chiseling brickwork, like in conventional practice, is not possible. However, this can be taken care of by identifying location of wiring and plumbing in the design and planning stage, so that solid courses of brickwork may be provided inmasonry where the conduits will run.

44

Filler slab

59

In simply supported RCC slab, Concrete above the neutral axis takes care of compressive forces and Steel below the neutral axis takes care of tensile forces.

Concrete in the bottom half do not satisfy any structural purpose, instead it increases dead load of the RCC slab.

In a filler slab this unnecessary concrete is replaced with a filler material which can be a waste material to ensure economical advantage over an RCC slab.

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION A) THE FILLER SLAB CAN BE DESIGNED LIKE A

CONVENTIONAL RCC SLAB AS PER IS 456-2000

DESIGN GUIDELINES, AFTER TAKING INTO

ACCOUNT THE DEAD LOAD REDUCTION DUE TO

THE FILLER MATERIAL AND THE SPACING OF

REINFORCEMENT AS PER THE SIZE OF THE FILLER

MATERIAL.

THERE CAN BE A CONFLICT BETWEEN FILLER SIZE

AND THE MINIMUM SPACING OF

REINFORCEMENT AS PER THE CODE, WHICH

NEEDS ATTENTION WHILE SELECTING THE FILLER

MATERIAL.

B) THE THICKNESS OF FILLER MATERIAL SHOULD

NOT EXCEED THE DEPTH OF THE NEUTRAL AXIS.

GENERALLY SPEAKING, FOR A SLAB THICKNESS

OF 125MM, THE FILLER MATERIAL DEPTH

SHOULD NOT EXCEED 60MM.

60

Filler slab flat roof 61

62

c) The size and shape of the filler material are governed by factors like

code guidelines for slab thickness, local availability of the filler

material, desired ceiling finish, etc. and must be carefully selected.

d) Quantity of concrete in the tension zone (bottom half) of the slab that

can be replaced by a filler material depends on the shape of the filler

material available and the thickness of the solid slab

Note : The size of Mangalore tiles may slightly vary from place to place

and manufacturer. However standard sizes are given below.

63

3 Burnt clay brick 230 230 75

4 Hollow Concrete Block 400 150-200 100

64

e) Shuttering for the filler slab is just like for a conventional RCC slab

f) Minimum bottom cover below reinforcement to be provided as per IS Code

and not less than 20mm .

This forms a grid and the filler material is placed centrally in each space of

the grid. Ensuring the linearity of the tiles, fix the tiles in position using

lumps of the concrete mix on all four sides.

g) No filler material is provided in bands of concrete along the edge of the slab.

The width of this band depends on the actual slab dimensions, thickness of

slab and the edge conditions. The reinforcement spacing in these bands will

be closer than spacing around the filler materials depending upon the design.

65

h) Any conduits, such as for concealed electrical work, should be placed in the

spaces between the filler material i.e., along grid line and NOT on top of

filler material.

i) After the filler material has been completely laid, concrete is laid to fill in the

spaces between filler materials and on top of the filler material to achieve

the slab thickness.

j) It is not advisable to use the concrete vibrator to compact the concrete in

the bottom portion of the slab which contains the filler material. This may

disturb the placement of the filler materials. Therefore, special care must be

taken to compact this concrete manually with tamping rods. The concrete

on top of the filler materials is compacted with plate vibrator.

•Depending up on tile size, the no. of tiles will vary and also reinforcement

spacing will vary.55

Advantages

• It enhances the thermal comfort inside the building due to heat resistant

qualities of the filler materials used. In the case of waste roofing tiles as filler,

the air gap in between the tiles makes it a good heat insulator

• Reduction (about 20%) in the use of concrete results in saving in the cost of

cement and aggregate compared to cost of tiles.

• Ceiling of this slab can be given an attractive appearance with the filler material

and therefore, a ceiling plaster is not needed

• Masons who are familiar with conventional RCC slab construction can easily adapt

to filler slab construction.

• Filler slabs can be used wherever RCC is used, for e.g.as floor slabs for multi-storied buildings, for sloping roofs, etc

56

LIMITATIONS :

71

• Since vibrators cannot be used in spaces between the filler

materials, extra care is needed to manually compact the

concrete in this space.

• Inadequate manual compaction can lead to poor quality

concrete

• It is feasible only in regions where suitable filler material is

available which is cheaper than concrete.

Type of Construction in Uttarakhand

Mostly in Uttarakhand the traditional type of construction of buildings will

include buildings of stone masonry, with wooded or stone flooring and roofing.

In the decade of 1990’s the State has witnessed two destructive Earth Quakes.

The residents of this area lost confidence in Traditional construction practices,

which in turn resulted in switching over to modern types construction i.e.,

construction of buildings with framed structures using cement, steel & bricks for

super structure.
