Description
Have you ever wondered how the buildings are constructed ? Have you ever wondered how the buildings can sustain strong earthquakes, high winds and still keep us safe ? Are you planning to make your house in upcoming future and is afraid of all the civil engineering vocabulary that contractors say ? Are you an architect , interior designer or civil engineer , who does not feel much confident about the construction engineering and feels to update their knowledge about civil engineering domain ?  Then , Welcome to this course. In this series of courses , you shall learn how the buildings are constructed. This course is divided into various knowledgeful practical modules. Section-1 - Introduction to Building Construction and Building RegulationsIn this section , you shall learn about the basic workflow of a construction project. You shall also learn about the Building codes, Regulations and Governing Bodies. Classification of Construction sector is also discussed at the end. Section-2 - Seven stages of Construction project and their Implementation In this section , you shall learn about the seven stages of a Construction project. Initial stages includes planning , approvals , financial planning to legal agreements. In the further stages, procurement , structural design , construction and commissioning is discussed. Section-3 - List of Construction Trades involved In this section , different professionals and their scope of work is discussed. Scope , Fees and Licensing Requirements for Architects , Engineers and Project Managers is also discussed. Section-4 - Soil Testing , Excavation and Shoring Methods In this section , classification of soil is first discussed. You shall learn how to assess the soil type with naked eye. Thumb rules to approximate the depth of the bore hole for investigation is discussed. A sample Soil Testing report is explained with recommendation study. Further , Backfilling , Compaction and Soil support is discussed in great details with pictures and videos. Dewatering is also discussed in the end. Section-5- Demolition , Mass Grading and Setting out In this section , Demolition , Mass Grading and Setting out of the building is discussed. Setting out of the building is very important to execute correctly. Temporary shoring and site office installation is also discussed. Section-6- Foundation and TypesIn this section , Foundation Construction of the building is discussed in detail. Types of Foundation is discussed in the beginning to give an introduction. Shallow foundation and Deep Foundations are discussed in great detail with pictures and videos. Method statement for deep foundation is also discussed. Extras - Section-7- Retaining Wall and Design loads during Construction In this section , Types of retaining wall are discussed. Design loads during Construction are also introduced.
