CONSTRUCTION TECNOLOGY- NVQ LEVEL-5

BUILDING TECNOLOGY - 1
Module Code- F45C001M09
INTRODUCTION TO CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

 Construction is a significant part of industrial culture, a manifestation of its diversity


 and complexity and a measure of its mastery of natural forces, which can produce a
widely varied built environment to serve the diverse needs of society.
 Shelter is fundamental need and housing is a people process and also process of
building human civilization.
 From prehistoric era, Human looked for shelter to protect against severe weather
condition, safety against animals. They were at beginning , under tree , in a cave,
hollow of the tree and started building housing associated with agricultural parties.
Then building technology developed step by step. Ancient buildings are evidence of
their skills on construction.
CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY AND ASSOCIATED
INSTITUTIONS

CIDA
Construction Industry Development Authority is responsible for regulating
construction activities within Sri Lanka.
The institution involves in Grading and Registering contractors, training
labours and determining limitations of raw materials related to the
construction industry.
ICTAD(Institute of construction training and development) is old name of
CIDA. It grades civil contractors from C9 – CS2 , financial limitations were
determined to every grade by CIDA.
BUILDING DEPARTMENT
The Building department was established in 1969,considered as sole authority and
advisory body in the field of Building works of Government & semi government.
These functions are taken in different forms with time and are modified to satisfy the
requirements of client organization and also keeping with government policies.
The following services are handled by Building department,
• Project proposals
• Consultancy services
• Project management services
• Maintenance ,improvement to building
STATE ENGINEERING COOPERATION

State Engineering Cooperation , a semi government institution


functioning under the purview of the Ministry of Housing and
Construction was established.
The following services are handled by Building department,
• Provision of engineering services
• Provision of construction equipment
• Plan designing
• Provision of training and research
CECB

Central Engineering Consultancy Bureau was established as a fully owned


state enterprise by the government in 1979, presently it is attached to the
ministry of Mahaweli development and environment. Construction services
are undertaken by Central Engineering Services(pvt)ltd.
The following services are handled by Building department,
• Design

GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS WHICH ENFORCING
BUILDING LAWS

Local Government
 Pradeshiya Sabha
 Municipal council
 The Urban Development Authority(UDA)
The Central Environmental Authority(CEA)
• Coordinates policy on overall environmental issues
Conservation bodies(Archeological Department)

ARCHITECTURAL AND STRUCTURAL DESIGN
CONSIDERATIONS

 Architecture which has been called a ‘mother of arts’ is concerned with design
arrangement & manipulation of the physical properties of a space and unite
other arts form.
 It provides spaces for daily activities , appears to our aesthetic sensibilities, by
choosing combining material, colour and shapes.
 Architecture has artistic qualities and must satisfy practical considerations
 A building can’t just be aesthetically pleasing it requires to accompany the
comfort and efficiency level of people in it.
 If building does not fulfill comfort, it fails architecturally.
FACTORS INFLUENCING ARCHITECTURE

Topography
Building Materials used for construction
Geological & Environmental conditions- influence of plan/wall/roof
Social infrastructure & history
Purpose for which building to be constructed
Financial feasibility
Structural design is the methodical investigation of the stability , strength,
and rigidity of structures.
The basic objective in structural design is to produce a structure capable for
resisting all applied loads without failure along its intended life.

FACTORS CONSIDERED ON STRUCTURAL DESIGN


Type of structure
Site condition
Loading condition
Environment exposing condition
Type of construction material
