Introduction
 Door:-
A door may be defined as a framework of wood, steel,
aluminum, glass or combination of these material secured in
an opening left in a wall for the purposes of providing access
to the users of the structures.

It basically consists of two parts i.e.


1. A frame
2. shutter

Types of Doors

1)Revolving Door
 Revolving door provides entrance on one side and exit on the
other simultaneously keeping the opening automatically
closed when not in use.
 This types of door is advantageously provided in place where
there is regular foot traffic of people entering in and going out
of the building especially when it is air conditions or situated
near in a peace where strong winds below for most part of the
year.
Types of Doors

2)M. S Sheet Door.


 This type of door is recommended for railway goods sheds,
garage, warehouse.
 The door is normally provided with two shutter. The door shutter
is fabricated from angle iron or channel frame which is suitably
braced with the M. S. Sheet flats placed horizontally.
Types of Doors

3)Swing door
 This types of door is generally provided in passages of public
building like offices , banks etc.
 The door may have single shutter or two shutters. The shutters
are fixed with special hinged known as double action spring
hinges which hold the shutter in closed position when in use.
Types of Doors

4)Collapsible Door
 These doors are extensively used for shops, garage, public
buildings, warehouse etc. and in situation where width of
opening is large and provision of hinged shutter becomes
difficult for want of space.
 These doors are also used from the consideration of safety and
protection of the property.
 These doors are commonly recommended in situations where
light and ventilation are desired even when the opening is
closed
Types of Doors

5) a) Rolling Steel Door


 These doors commonly used for show windows, stores, shop
front and warehouse etc.
 The shutter consist of thin steel slabs about 1.25mm thick
interlocked to each other and coiled upon the specially
designed pipe shaft. When the area of door opening is more
than 10 sq. m. the shutter is generally opened or closed by
means of chain pulley blocks.
Types of Doors

b) Rolling Grill Door


 The design, construction and operation of rolling grill door is
similar to the rolling steel door in all respects except the type of
shutter. The rolling grill shutter can be manufactured in a
Variety of designer to suit the individual’s choice.
 This type of door is used in situations where besides protection
and safety, visibility and ventilation is also desired. It also used in
places like transformer rooms, substations etc.
Types of Doors

6)Fire Check Door


 Fire check doors are required to control and restrict the spread
of fire through the door openings thereby minimizing the
damage of the adjoining property in the event of fire.
 The doors can be of sliding, hinged, manually operated or
automatic type.
Types of Slabs
What is a Slab?
• Slabs are constructed to provide flat surfaces, usually
horizontally in building floors, roofs, bridges & other types of
structures.
• The slab may be supported by walls by reinforced beams
usually cast monolithically with the slab, by structural steel
beams, by columns
Types of slabs
There are several types of slabs let’s consider few below
 Flat slab
 Flat slab
 Flat slab with drop panel
 Flat slab with column head
 Flat slab with drop panel and column head
 Conventional slab
 One-way slab
 Two-way slab
Types of Slabs

Flat slab
 It is reinforced concrete slab supported directly by concrete
columns.
 It do not have beams. They are supported on columns itself.
 Loads are directly transferred to columns.
 In this type of constructions a plan ceiling is obtained, thus
gives attractive appearance from architectural point of view.
 It is easier to construct and requires less formwork.
 Thickness of flat slab is minimum 8 inch of 0.2 m.
Types of Slabs

It can be used where:


 To provide plain ceiling surface giving better diffusion of light.
 Easy constructability with economy in the formwork
 This type of slabs are provided in parking
Types of Slabs

Advantages of Flat Slab


 Auto sprinkler is easier

 Less construction time

 It increases shear strength of slabs


Types of Slabs

There are four different types


of flat slab
1. Flat slab.
2. Flat slab with drop panel.
3. Flat slab with column head.
4. Flat slab with drop panel and column head.
Types of Slabs

Conventional Slab
 The slab which is supported with Beams and column is called
conventional slab.
 In conventional slab is small whereas depth of beam is lager
and load is transferred to beams and from beams to columns.
It requires more formwork when compare with the flat slab.
 The thickness of conventional slab is 4 inch or 10cm
 Conventional slabs are used in construction floors of
multistoried building.
Types of Slabs

Two types of conventional slab


1. One-way slab
2. Two –way slab
Types of Slabs

Difference between one-way


& two-way
One-way slab Two-way slab

1. One way slab is supported by beams in only 2 1. Two way slab is supported by beams in all four
sides sides.
2. The ratio of longer span panel (L) to shorter span 2. The ratio of longer span panel(L)to shorter span
panel(B) is equal or grater than 2 panel (B) is less than 2.
Thus/B>=2 Thus/B<2.

[Link] reinforcement is provided in only one [Link] reinforcement is provided in both the
direction for one way slabs. direction for two way slabs.

Types of Walls

Types of Walls
 Load bearing wall

 They are meant to carry super imposed loads in addition to


their own weight.

 The materials most often used to construct load-bearing walls in


large buildings are concrete , block or brick.
Types of Walls

LOAD BEARING WALL


Types of Walls

Load bearing walls


 Load –bearing walls always run perpendicular to the ceiling

joints of your home.

 All exterior walls are load bearing; interior walls that are

aligned above supports beams are also lead bearing.

Fire check doors enhance building safety by restricting fire spread through openings, minimizing damage to adjoining areas in a fire event. They can be sliding, hinged, or automatic, allowing flexibility in their application based on building design and safety requirements. These doors maintain integrity against fire for specified durations, crucial for evacuation and containment efforts .

Incorporating drop panels and column heads in flat slabs enhances structural performance by increasing shear capacity and reducing punching shear stress around column connections. Drop panels widen slab support areas, distributing loads more effectively and providing additional strength at critical points, which is crucial in resisting additional moments and forces in high-load conditions .

Rolling grill doors differ from rolling steel doors primarily in the type of shutter used. While both types provide protection and safety, rolling grill doors offer additional advantages of visibility and ventilation due to their open design. This feature makes them suitable for areas like transformer rooms where both security and air flow are important .

A wall is classified as load-bearing if it carries superimposed loads in addition to its own weight. Load-bearing walls typically run perpendicular to ceiling joists and include all exterior walls and interior walls above support beams. This classification affects architectural design by influencing the placement of walls and supports, ensuring structural integrity and effective load distribution .

Circular stairs, also called spiral stairs, minimize space by spiraling around a central point, making them ideal for areas with limited floor space. Advantages include a smaller footprint and an aesthetic appeal. However, they can have limitations such as being less safe for high traffic due to narrower treads and steeper inclines, and might not be suitable for all users, like those with mobility issues .

Revolving doors primarily function to allow simultaneous entrance and exit of people while keeping the opening closed when not in use. They are often used in areas with regular foot traffic, especially in locations with air conditioning or strong winds, to maintain interior climate control and energy efficiency by reducing air infiltration .

Dog-legged stairs, with their compact design featuring two flights with an abrupt turn and a landing, optimize space usage, making them ideal for narrow stair halls. They offer efficient vertical circulation without requiring additional horizontal space, making them suitable for residential buildings and areas with space constraints .

When using non-load-bearing walls, considerations include ensuring they carry only their self-weight and are adequately supported to prevent their collapse. They are primarily used for partitioning and should not interfere with the structural integrity of load-bearing components. Proper alignment with floors and ceilings is crucial, and soundproofing and insulation are often additional considerations for functional and comfort purposes within buildings .

One-way slabs are supported by beams on two opposite sides, with main reinforcement in one direction and used when the span length ratio is at least 2:1. They are suitable for narrow rectangular rooms. Two-way slabs are supported on all four sides, with reinforcement in both directions, ideal when span ratios are less than 2:1. They offer better load distribution suited for square or near-square spaces like foundations and large floors .

Flat slabs without beams facilitate easier construction and architectural design by providing a planar ceiling that enhances light diffusion and aesthetics. They require less formwork, reducing construction time and costs, and simplify the installation of systems like automatic sprinklers. In contrast, conventional slabs rely on beams, requiring more formwork and design considerations to accommodate beam depth .
