Mass Housing:

 The course introduces the concepts of `mass-housing’ across space and time.
The evolution of housing settlements through linking and stacking; their
processes, determinants/generations, and resulting patterns are to be explored in
their respective context exploring the balance between order and complexity.
 The idea, here, is to create an adaptive habitat for migrant communities
associated with the very dynamic and socially interactive live-work
environment. Here, “adaptability” is visualized and represented as a real space
which is accommodating people from diverse cultures and traditions over a
period of time.
 The spaces, thus created, should have their own characteristics; the occupants
should have the opportunities to alter these spaces in certain extended patterns.
Eventually, this fluctuating habitat, over time, should be able to maintain a
balance between generated orders and identified contextual complexities.
 Mass housing term was taken from the manufacturing sector into the
construction industry to describe mass production techniques of housing
development projects.
 It involves designing and constructing standard domestic house units. It can be
at the same location or at several geographical locations. This is executed under
the same contract and management within the same project schemes.
 As urbanization keeps increasing around the world in search of various
resources and to handle the finances, Mass housing is becoming the utmost
necessity of urban planning.
 It is aimed to make housing affordable which makes their construction crucial
because the mass housing projects are low-cost. This type of project is required
in large numbers so it can have the ability to transform the lives of a large
population.
 These projects are usually a collection of repetitive housing units. According to
data, our world is facing a deficit of 200 million housing units and if we talk
about India only the housing deficit is around 30 million units.
 Mass housing is a great solution to handle such a huge scale problem because
ever-increasing prices of residential property or even private residencies make
housing beyond the reach of a common man.
 That’s why mass housing with higher density and floor area ratio seems to
solve this giant problem. In simple terms, it is an apartment-type multi-story
building catering to the demand of producing superior homes and benefiting
middle-class families.
 Design Steps :

1. Site Selection – Formation of mohalla committees in the existing settlement to

be housed. Initial dialogue with people. Collection of data and preparation of
socio-economic profile.
2. Choice of materials and methods of construction – Study of skills available
with the proposed inhabitants. Identification of their desires and needs.
3. Planning and layout of site – Dialogue with the people to allocate house site
according to preferences. Provision of community spaces according to the
discussed needs.
4. Site development – Labour organisation and maximum utilisation of skills
available within the community.
5. Design of houses – The design of the building system to maximise choice of
possible house types and the phasing of construction. Each householder in
consultation with the architect to decide on his needs.
6. Construction activity – House construction to be phased according to individual
needs and resources.
7. Upgrading and maintenance – Responsibility of upgrading and maintenance of
community facilities to be fixed at various levels – householder, mohalla
committee, municipal authorities.

How to implement Mass Housing Society:

Mass housing has become synonymous with low-cost housing because of the efforts
produced in making construction cost cheaper. But still, it is a challenge that housing
couldn’t be provided for everybody. However, it has been successfully implemented
affordable houses for a large section of the population, and the various examples of
projects worldwide are as below:
1. Tarre Plaça Europa in Barcelona, Spain which is a 20-floor building having 75
units.
2. Mirador housing project in Madrid Spain which is a building having 165 units.
3. Harold Housing Project in Paris, France having 100 apartments.
4. Poljane Community Housing in Maribar, Slovenia having 130 apartments.
A pilot study carried out shows how the projects of mass production can be
revolutionized by introducing people’s participation in the process like:
1. Site selection
2. Choice of materials and methods of construction
3. Planning and layout of the site
4. Site development
5. Design of houses
6. Construction activity
7. Upgrading and maintenance

Advantages of Mass Housing Societies :

1. It is a sensible investment option.

2. Has better facilities as it is a joint venture of many people.
3. Gives people a sense of security.
4. Houses in this society are affordable.
5. Responsibility in this construction is shared.
6. There is a diversity of culture in this type of construction.
7. Better environment.
8. Things are better managed in this type of construction.
Pre Engineered Buildings :

 Technological improvement over the year has contributed immensely to the

enhancement of quality of life through various new products and services. One
such revolution was the pre engineered buildings.
 Through its origin can be traced back to 1960’s its potential has been felt only
during the recent years. This was mainly due to the development in technology,
which helped in computerizing the design and design.
 Though initially only off the shelf products were available in these
configurations aided by the technological development tailor made solutions
are also made using this technology in very short durations. A recent survey by
the Metal Building Associations (MBMA) shows that about 60% of the non
residential low rises building in USA are pre engineered buildings.
 Although PEB systems are extensively used in industrial and many other non
residential constructions world wide, it is relatively a new concept in India.

 These concepts were introduced to the Indian markets lately in the late 1990’s
with the opening up of the economy and a number of multi nationals setting up
their projects.The market potential of PEB’s is 1.2 million tones per annum.
The current pre engineered steel building manufacturing capacity is 0.35
million tones per annum. The industry is growing at the compound rate of 25 to
30 %.
  Pre engineered steel buildings can be fitted with different structural accessories
including mezzanine floors, canopies, fascias, interior partitions etc. and the
building is made water proof by use of special mastic beads, filler strips and
trims.
 This is very versatile buildings systems and can be finished internally to serve
any functions and accessorized externally to achieve attractive and unique
designing styles. It is very advantageous over the conventional buildings and is
really helpful in the low rise building design.
 Pre engineered buildings are generally low rise buildings however the
maximum eave height can go upto 25 to 30 metres. Low rise buildings are ideal
for offices, houses, showrooms, shop fronts etc.
 The application of pre engineered buildings concept to low rise buildings is
very economical and speedy. Buildings can be constructed in less than half the
normal time especially when complemented with the other engineered sub
systems.

Design Steps :

1. Set up section sizes and brace locations based on the geometry and loading
specified for the frame design.
2. Calculate moment, shear, and axial force at each analysis point for each load
combination.
3. Compute allowable shear, allowable axial and allowable bending stress in
compression and tension at each analysis point.
4. Compute the corresponding stress ratios for shear, axial and bending based on the
actual and allowable stresses and calculate the combined stress ratios.
5. Design the optimum splice location and check to see whether the predicted sizes
confirm to manufacturing constraints.
6. Using the web optimization mode, arrive at the optimum web depths for the next
cycle and update the member data file.
7. At the end of all design cycles, an analysis is run to achieve flange brace
optimization.

8. Application of this Micro-Project :- By using Emerged trends in civil engineering

referance book by Roberto Lopez-Anido, Tarun Naik and Google, we can able to
collect the information about mass housing and pre-engineered building.

9. Conclusion : Despite being predominantly a rural economy India is going through

rapid urbanization. Population percentage has risen from 17% to 28% in 1951 and
2001 respectively. Cities are automatically getting more crowded than ever and
simultaneously the need for housing is growing thus mass housing is a great solution
for providing affordable houses, utmost security, good design, and the right
environment with diversity in culture.
