Components of a Building...
Common Building Materials: Brick, Block, Stone, Concrete,
Timber, Metal..
Other materials: Fibre, Plaster, Asbestos, Plywood, Block, Plastic..
Components of a Building...
A Building can be broadly divided into two parts;
 Sub-structure (portion below ground, transmit load to ground)
 Super-structure (portion above Plinth level)
Building components can be summarized as;
• Foundations
• Plinth
• Walls
• Columns & Beams
• Floors
• Doors & Windows (Openings)
• Stairs & Lifts
• Roof
• Lintels and Arches
• Building Finishes (Plastering, Pointing)
• Building Services (Plumbing, Electrical,
Water Supply, Sewerage, Utility..)
1.Foundation
Excavation, Foundation, Footing, Plinth, Column..
Foundation Types: Shallow and Deep.Section of a Foundation
2. Plinth
 Dividing line between substructure
and superstructure.
 Lowest part of Superstructure, above
ground level.
 30-75cm in height depending upon
the locality/soil type.
 DPC provided at plinth level to
prevent moisture from rising to the
walls of building.
3. Walls
 A masonry structure provided
above the Plinth.
 Two types: Load Bearing,
Non-load bearing (Framed
structure).
 Provided to enclose or divide
the floor space in a pattern
and provide privacy, security
& protection.
Load Bearing Brick WallColumn Beam Structure
4. Columns and Beams
 A masonry structure provided
above the Plinth.
 Two types: Load Bearing,
Non-load bearing (Framed
structure).
 Provided to enclose or divide
the floor space in a pattern
and provide privacy, security
& protection.
RCC Beam Structure
RCC Column
Wood Column
5. Floors
 Flat
supported
elements,
dividing a
building
into
different
levels.
6. Openings: Doors
 A door may be defined as a barrier secured in an opening left in a
wall to provide usual means to access to a building room or passage.
7. Openings: Windows
 A window may be defined as an opening left in the
wall for the purpose of providing daylight, ventilation
and vision.
Window Types
8. Lintels & Arches
 Its over Doors and Windows in
walls facility at safe transfer of
loads to its supports.
9. Stairs & Lifts
 A Stair may be
defined as a
structure
comprising of a
number of steps
connecting one
floor to another.
10. Roof
 It is an uppermost component of a building and its
main function is to cover the space below and
provide protection from sun, rain, snow, wind, etc.
11. Building Finishes
 A Building is considered incomplete till such time the
surface of its component is given appropriate
treatment. It includes items like plastering, colour
washing, pointing, painting, etc.
12. Building Services
 It includes services like water supply, drainage,
sanitation, lighting, electricity, acoustics, heating,
ventilation, Fire control, etc.
