Mechanics of structure

RCC frame structure

Structure is made using concrete and reinforced with metal rods.

Changes can be made in the walls as the load is taken by the columns and beams.

Bricks are used to make the wall.

The foundation of the building is underground with an expanded base- Column foundation

We learned about the history of building from a shelter created by stones and the development into roofs, archs and eventually buildings made of beams and columns(RCC). Also use of other methods like using cables. We also learned about their pros and cons.

Transfer of load in the structure and different forces getting involved.
