Abstract—Affordable housing is a term used to describe dwelling units whose total housing cost are deemed affordable to a group of people
within a specified income range. Structural roofing system contribute substantially to cost of construction of housing unit in normal situation,
hence any savings attained in roofing system will reduce the cost of construction of housing unit. In the study undertaken, the roofing system
consists of primary beams and secondary beams perpendicular to each other. The infill proposed is a composite slab panel consisting of decking
sheets, galvanized iron(G.I) sheets of trapezoidal and corrugated cross section at bottom with a layer of concrete above it. The rectangular
composite panelsconsidered in the study have a least width of 0.5m and 0.75m with an aspect ratio varying from 1.00 to 2.00. The rectangular
composite panels are designed using M20 grade concrete and reinforcing steel of yield strength 415 N/mm2
. The cost analysis is made for the
roofing system and the proposed roofing system indicates a cost reduction 40% when compared to a conventional reinforced concrete (RCC)
slab of same size. The weight of the beam systems and the panels are found to be relatively less and can handled easily by two to five masons
thus reducing the labour cost. The beam systems and panels are precasted and can be easily placed thus eliminating need of shuttering, leading to
faster construction of slab. The proposed roofing system is cost effective with a greater speed of construction compared to conventional roofing
system.
Keywords-Affordable Roofing, Composite Slab, Decking Sheet, Galvanised Iron Sheets.

I. INTRODUCTION
Housing affordability has always been a worldwide concern.
Affordable roofing is a term used to depict dwelling units
whose costs are considered to be ―affordable‖ to a set of
people within a given income range. Roofs are the components
installed at the top of the buildings to protect the occupants
against adverse weather conditions such as temperature
changes, solar radiation, rain, snow and wind. Structural floors
or roofs do have a considerable impact on the cost of the
building in regular conditions. So, any kinds of saving attained
in the construction of roofing system substantially reduces the
cost of the building unit like other essential parts of buildings,
roofs correspond to about 8-11% of the total project cost [1].
According to World Bank 2016 report on poverty in India,
45% are living in lower income range. Government of India
launched Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) in 2015,
According to PMAY report Slum dwelling is growing at the
rate of 34% for a decade, henceforth there is a need of
affordable units. The estimated housing units required by 2022
are 20 million units [2].It is observed that there is an immense
societal needs of alternative roofing system. Hence, an attempt
is made to explore the realm of alternative roofing system.
Ravindra, et.al., [3] carried out work on affordable roofing
system (ARS) consisting of precast roof infill
elementssupported on a grid work of precast RCC joist
system. The infills panels are rectangular panels with
cylindrical/ellipsoidal domed curvature of smaller thickness to
have membrane action as well as arching action. It mentions a
reduction in cost of 7.5% to 35.4% compared to conventional
reinforced concrete (RCC) slab. Panels are lesser in weight
and also the time for construction reduced, compared to
conventional RCC construction method.Manjunath et.al.,
[4]studied the experimental behavior of composite concrete
slab with profiled steel decking for the determination of the
flexural characteristics and bond strength. It is found that use
of profile deck sheet reduces 25% by volume of concrete. The
ultimate load carrying capacity of composite slab without
embossments is 14% more than that of sheets with
embossments. Ahmad et.al., [5] carried out experimental
investigations to assess the strength of precast roof Slab
system comprising of Ferro cement panel system of same
thickness is higher compared to similar arrangement of RC
beam and sand stone panels. The Ferro cement Slab exhibits
ductile failure whereas sand stone roof Slab exhibits brittle
failure.Shinde. et al., [6] carried study on affordable housing
materials and technology and suggested various materials and
techniques for different components of the housing units. They
proposed Bamboo Matt corrugated roofing sheets and Micro
Concrete Roofing tiles (MCR) for roofing system. The micro
concrete roofing tiles were used for sloped roofs. MCR tiles
have many advantages of high cost effectiveness, less noise
during rains, high durable compared to other roofing materials
like Galvanized Iron sheets and mangalore tiles etc. Vivian
et.al.,[7] compared the construction cost for the traditional and

low cost housing technologies by undertaking case studies in
India. The construction methods of foundations wall, roofing
and lintels are compared. They found thatsavings in
construction cost between 22.61% and 26.11% can be
achieved by using low cost housing technologies.
The present work under taken consists of Pre-cast composite
roof infill panels supported on gird work of precast RCC beam
system. The two main components are (i). Composite
rectangular roof infill elements using decking sheet and GI
sheets of different profiles. (ii). Primary and secondary RCC
precast beams grid system.
Scope and Objectives of the Study:
The main objective of the analytical investigation undertaken
is to examine the performance of the precast joists and
composite panel roofing system. The dimensions of shorter
side of rectangular precast panels are 0.5m and 0.75m,with
aspect ratio of the panel varied from 1 to 2. A cost analysis of
the affordable roofing system and a corresponding RCC
conventional Slab of same size is also made. The details of
roofing system and composite rectangular panels are shown in
Table 1.

The beams are analysed by placing primary beams along
shorter span and secondary beams along longer span. The
primary beams of size 150mm x 150mm for 0.5m span,
150mm x 200mm for 0.75m span and all secondary beams of
size 150mm x 150mm is found to be adequate. The analysis of
the grid work of beams is performed using STAAD-PRO
software and designed in accordance with IS 456-2000.
Brackets are provided on webs of primary beams to support
secondary beam. The arrangement of a bracket System is
shown in Fig.2. The bracket size is made considering the
maximum shearing force transmitted by the secondary beam.
The width of the bracket is kept same as the width of the
beams, while a bearing length of 80mm was sufficient to
ensure the bearing stresses within the permissible limits
(0.45fck). Depth of the bracket of 50mm is sufficient to take
care of the bending moment generated due to the eccentricity of
the reactions of the secondary beam. Limit state adopted for the
design of the brackets [8]. Fig.3 shows a primary beam with
bracket connection on both the side of it and secondary beams
resting over it. A typical reinforcement of secondary beam
resting over the brackets of the primary beam is shown in
Fig.3. Slot is provided in the bracket and the secondary beam
for placing a 10mm bar and grouted with the cement mortar for
a depth of25mm.The slot is grouted with cement slurry for
better connectivity.

IV. COST ANALYSIS
A study of economy of any technique or process is an
important matter and indicates the feasibility of the technique.
Cost effectiveness and time of construction are factors in
construction, considered after fulfilling the safety and
durability requirement. By optimizing the sizes, the quantity
of the material required is reduced which in turn contributes to
the saving of the materials and money. Cost analysis and
comparisons are made for proposed roofing system and
normal conventional RCC slab. Conventional RCC slab is
designed keeping the size same as that of the affordable
roofing slab. Cost of concrete is considered to be Rs 6800/-
per cum and the total cost of concrete is calculated. Cost of
steel is considered to be Rs 55000/- per ton of steel. Cost for
the proposed affordable roofing system and conventional RCC
roofing system is shown in Table 4. Similarly, Table 5 shows
the weights of Panel, Primary Beam and Secondary Beam in
order to achieve the convenience of lifting and placing by
limited number of mason.

V. CONCLUSION
Based on the analytical investigations carried out in the work
undertaken the following conclusions are drawn.
 The affordable roofing system proposed proves to be
a strong alternative to the conventional RCC roofing
system.
 The cost ratio of atleast 42.1% is achieved in the
affordable roofing systems when compared to the
RCC roofing system, which advocates the adoption of
this technology in low cost housing projects.
 The alternative roofing system proposed has a
pleasing aesthetic appearance. It requires no
plastering work and false roofing work can be
avoided which reduces the cost of the roofing unit.
 As no Shuttering work is involved in the composite
Slab, its cost is reduced.
 The decking sheet acts as a tensile reinforcement
hence minimum reinforcing steel is required in slab.
 The composite panel and beams weighs lesser and
can easily be handled by two to five masons.Thus
reduces labor cost and can be erected in a very short
period of time.

  • 1. International Journal on Recent and Innovation Trends in Computing and Communication ISSN: 2321-8169 Volume: 5 Issue: 8 200 – 205 _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 200 IJRITCC | August 2017, Available @ http://www.ijritcc.org _______________________________________________________________________________________ A Study of Affordable Roofing Systems with Composite Slab Sheik Rizwan S M Post Graduate Student, Department of Civil Engineering R.V. College of Engineering Benagaluru, India sheikrizwan858@gmail.com Ravindra R Associate Professor, Department of Civil Engineering R.V. College of Engineering Benagaluru, India ravindrar@rvce.edu.in Abstract—Affordable housing is a term used to describe dwelling units whose total housing cost are deemed affordable to a group of people within a specified income range. Structural roofing system contribute substantially to cost of construction of housing unit in normal situation, hence any savings attained in roofing system will reduce the cost of construction of housing unit. In the study undertaken, the roofing system consists of primary beams and secondary beams perpendicular to each other. The infill proposed is a composite slab panel consisting of decking sheets, galvanized iron(G.I) sheets of trapezoidal and corrugated cross section at bottom with a layer of concrete above it. The rectangular composite panelsconsidered in the study have a least width of 0.5m and 0.75m with an aspect ratio varying from 1.00 to 2.00. The rectangular composite panels are designed using M20 grade concrete and reinforcing steel of yield strength 415 N/mm2 . The cost analysis is made for the roofing system and the proposed roofing system indicates a cost reduction 40% when compared to a conventional reinforced concrete (RCC) slab of same size. The weight of the beam systems and the panels are found to be relatively less and can handled easily by two to five masons thus reducing the labour cost. The beam systems and panels are precasted and can be easily placed thus eliminating need of shuttering, leading to faster construction of slab. The proposed roofing system is cost effective with a greater speed of construction compared to conventional roofing system. Keywords-Affordable Roofing, Composite Slab, Decking Sheet, Galvanised Iron Sheets. __________________________________________________*****_________________________________________________ I. INTRODUCTION Housing affordability has always been a worldwide concern. Affordable roofing is a term used to depict dwelling units whose costs are considered to be ―affordable‖ to a set of people within a given income range. Roofs are the components installed at the top of the buildings to protect the occupants against adverse weather conditions such as temperature changes, solar radiation, rain, snow and wind. Structural floors or roofs do have a considerable impact on the cost of the building in regular conditions. So, any kinds of saving attained in the construction of roofing system substantially reduces the cost of the building unit like other essential parts of buildings, roofs correspond to about 8-11% of the total project cost [1]. According to World Bank 2016 report on poverty in India, 45% are living in lower income range. Government of India launched Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) in 2015, According to PMAY report Slum dwelling is growing at the rate of 34% for a decade, henceforth there is a need of affordable units. The estimated housing units required by 2022 are 20 million units [2].It is observed that there is an immense societal needs of alternative roofing system. Hence, an attempt is made to explore the realm of alternative roofing system. Ravindra, et.al., [3] carried out work on affordable roofing system (ARS) consisting of precast roof infill elementssupported on a grid work of precast RCC joist system. The infills panels are rectangular panels with cylindrical/ellipsoidal domed curvature of smaller thickness to have membrane action as well as arching action. It mentions a reduction in cost of 7.5% to 35.4% compared to conventional reinforced concrete (RCC) slab. Panels are lesser in weight and also the time for construction reduced, compared to conventional RCC construction method.Manjunath et.al., [4]studied the experimental behavior of composite concrete slab with profiled steel decking for the determination of the flexural characteristics and bond strength. It is found that use of profile deck sheet reduces 25% by volume of concrete. The ultimate load carrying capacity of composite slab without embossments is 14% more than that of sheets with embossments. Ahmad et.al., [5] carried out experimental investigations to assess the strength of precast roof Slab system comprising of Ferro cement panel system of same thickness is higher compared to similar arrangement of RC beam and sand stone panels. The Ferro cement Slab exhibits ductile failure whereas sand stone roof Slab exhibits brittle failure.Shinde. et al., [6] carried study on affordable housing materials and technology and suggested various materials and techniques for different components of the housing units. They proposed Bamboo Matt corrugated roofing sheets and Micro Concrete Roofing tiles (MCR) for roofing system. The micro concrete roofing tiles were used for sloped roofs. MCR tiles have many advantages of high cost effectiveness, less noise during rains, high durable compared to other roofing materials like Galvanized Iron sheets and mangalore tiles etc. Vivian et.al.,[7] compared the construction cost for the traditional and

The construction methods of foundations wall, roofing and lintels are compared. They found thatsavings in construction cost between 22.61% and 26.11% can be achieved by using low cost housing technologies. The present work under taken consists of Pre-cast composite roof infill panels supported on gird work of precast RCC beam system. The two main components are (i). Composite rectangular roof infill elements using decking sheet and GI sheets of different profiles. (ii). Primary and secondary RCC precast beams grid system. Scope and Objectives of the Study: The main objective of the analytical investigation undertaken is to examine the performance of the precast joists and composite panel roofing system. The dimensions of shorter side of rectangular precast panels are 0.5m and 0.75m,with aspect ratio of the panel varied from 1 to 2. A cost analysis of the affordable roofing system and a corresponding RCC conventional Slab of same size is also made.

The primary beams of size 150mm x 150mm for 0.5m span, 150mm x 200mm for 0.75m span and all secondary beams of size 150mm x 150mm is found to be adequate. The analysis of the grid work of beams is performed using STAAD-PRO software and designed in accordance with IS 456-2000. Brackets are provided on webs of primary beams to support secondary beam. The arrangement of a bracket System is shown in Fig.2. The bracket size is made considering the maximum shearing force transmitted by the secondary beam. The width of the bracket is kept same as the width of the beams, while a bearing length of 80mm was sufficient to ensure the bearing stresses within the permissible limits (0.45fck). Depth of the bracket of 50mm is sufficient to take care of the bending moment generated due to the eccentricity of the reactions of the secondary beam. Limit state adopted for the design of the brackets [8]. Fig.3 shows a primary beam with bracket connection on both the side of it and secondary beams resting over it. A typical reinforcement of secondary beam resting over the brackets of the primary beam is shown in Fig.3. Slot is provided in the bracket and the secondary beam for placing a 10mm bar and grouted with the cement mortar for a depth of25mm.The slot is grouted with cement slurry for better connectivity.

COST ANALYSIS A study of economy of any technique or process is an important matter and indicates the feasibility of the technique. Cost effectiveness and time of construction are factors in construction, considered after fulfilling the safety and durability requirement. By optimizing the sizes, the quantity of the material required is reduced which in turn contributes to the saving of the materials and money. Cost analysis and comparisons are made for proposed roofing system and normal conventional RCC slab. Conventional RCC slab is designed keeping the size same as that of the affordable roofing slab. Cost of concrete is considered to be Rs 6800/- per cum and the total cost of concrete is calculated. Cost of steel is considered to be Rs 55000/- per ton of steel. Cost for the proposed affordable roofing system and conventional RCC roofing system is shown in Table 4. Similarly, Table 5 shows the weights of Panel, Primary Beam and Secondary Beam in order to achieve the convenience of lifting and placing by limited number of mason.

CONCLUSION Based on the analytical investigations carried out in the work undertaken the following conclusions are drawn.  The affordable roofing system proposed proves to be a strong alternative to the conventional RCC roofing system.  The cost ratio of atleast 42.1% is achieved in the affordable roofing systems when compared to the RCC roofing system, which advocates the adoption of this technology in low cost housing projects.  The alternative roofing system proposed has a pleasing aesthetic appearance. It requires no plastering work and false roofing work can be avoided which reduces the cost of the roofing unit.  As no Shuttering work is involved in the composite Slab, its cost is reduced.  The decking sheet acts as a tensile reinforcement hence minimum reinforcing steel is required in slab.  The composite panel and beams weighs lesser and can easily be handled by two to five masons.Thus reduces labor cost and can be erected in a very short period of time.
