This document discusses different types of foundations. There are two main types: shallow foundations and deep foundations. Shallow foundations are provided immediately underneath the structure near ground level to distribute loads over a large base area. Deep foundations are constructed well below ground level using methods like piles, wells, or caissons to transfer loads through weaker surface soils to stronger layers below. Pile foundations use long concrete cylinders pushed into the ground to support structures. Well foundations are typically used below water levels for bridges.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Theory and Analysis
Building construction is an ancient human activity. It began with the purely functional need for a
controlled environment to moderate the effects of climate. Constructed shelters were one means
by which human beings were able to adapt themselves to a wide variety of climates and become
a global species.
Human shelters were at first very simple and perhaps lasted only a few days or months. Over
time, however, even temporary structures evolved into such highly refined forms as the igloo.
Gradually more durable structures began to appear, particularly after the advent of agriculture,
when people began to stay in one place for long periods. The first shelters were dwellings, but
later other functions, such as food storage and ceremony, were housed in separate buildings.
Some structures began to have symbolic as well as functional value, marking the beginning of
the distinction between architecture and building.
The history of building is marked by a number of trends. One is the increasing durability of the
materials used. Early building materials were perishable, such as leaves, branches, and animal
hides. Later, more durable natural materials—such as clay, stone, and timber—and, finally,
synthetic materials—such as brick, concrete, metals, and plastics—were used. Another is a quest
for buildings of ever greater height and span; this was made possible by the development of
stronger materials and by knowledge of how materials behave and how to exploit them to greater
advantage. A third major trend involves the degree of control exercised over the interior
environment of buildings: increasingly precise regulation of air temperature, light and sound
levels, humidity, odors, air speed, and other factors that affect human comfort has been possible.
Yet another trend is the change in energy available to the construction process, starting with
human muscle power and developing toward the powerful machinery used today.
The basic requirements, a building should satisfy in design and performance are:
8. 8
1. It must be strong enough to withstand the loads coming on it including the self-weight,
live load, wind load and earthquake load.
2. It must not deflect under the loads.
3. It must give comfort and convenience to the inhabitants.
Building Components and their Basic Requirements
A building has three basic parts:
i. Substructure or foundations
ii. Superstructure, and
iii. Finishing works.
Sub-structure or Foundation
It is the lower portion of the building, usually located below the ground level, which transmits
the loads of the super-structure to the supporting soil. A foundation is therefore that part of the
structure which is in direct contact with the ground to which the loads are transmitted. Both
combined and isolated footing is being used here, which are a typical shallow foundation.
Superstructure Parts
These are parts of the structure which are above ground level, and which serve the purpose
of its intended use. A part of the super-structure, located between the ground level and the
floor level is known as plinth. Major components of superstructure are columns, wall, beam,
slab, stair, and roof.
A column can be defined as a vertical structural member designed to transmit a compressive
load. It transmits the load from ceiling/roof slab and beam, including its own weight to the
foundation. Hence, it should be realized that the failure of a column results in the collapse of
the entire structure.The column of the building that we have visited had been made of concrete.
Different types of cross-section like circular, rectangular and square has been used here for the
column in these building.
A wall is a structure that defines an area, carries a load, or provides shelter or security. It is
non load bearing structure of a building. Building walls purposes are to
support roofs, floors and ceilings, enclose a space as part of the building envelope, along with
a roof to give buildings form, and to provide shelter and security. Here in our case, the wall
has a thickness of 25cm.
9. 9
Beam: - is a horizontally statically determinate structural member that exhibits bending
(sagging) under a uniformly distributed load. Likewise, Different types of cross-section like
circular, rectangular and square has been used here for the column in these building.
Slab: - is a very common and important structural element, are constructed to provide flat,
useful surfaces. It is a horizontal structural component, with top and bottom surfaces parallel
or near so. The depth of a concrete slab floor is very small compared to its span. Here in our
case, the thickness has been taken as 25cm.
A stair: - is a series of steps arranged in such a manner as to connect different floors of a
building. Stairs are designed to provide as easy and quick access to different floors. A
staircase is an enclosure which contains the complete stairway.Open newel, and dog legged of
a half turn stair and a straight stair has been built here.
Roof: - is the upper most portion of the building which protects the building from rain, wind
and sun. It is supported by trusses made of steel built over grade beam. The roofing is built of
galvanized EGA sheet. Hollow Structural Sections, especially RHS (Rectangular Hollow Steel)
steel is commonly used in welded steel framesof trusses.
Finishing Works
A group of construction operations relating to the exterior and interior finishing of buildings a
nd structures toenhance their service and aesthetic qualities. Finishing work is the concluding s
tage of construction; in many cases, theoverall quality of a building or structure being put into
service depends on the quality of its execution. The main types offinishing work include facin
g, plastering, flooring (and parquetry), painting, wallpapering, and glazing. The building we
have visited has been 62 percent completed. The finishing works has been
begun

Results and Discussions
In this report, so many activities have been discussed so far. Such that we have explained what
have been done, and will be done in the future.
Building components that have been built were the followings: excavation of the soil, footing
and foundation works, beams, columns, walls, stair cases, slabs, and roofing.
The remaining building construction activities are all included under 30 percentage of the
whole work, which is finishing works. This consists of painting,facing, fittings of plumbing
and installations, plastering, flooring (and parquetry), wallpapering, screening, and glazing.
The remaining building construction works would have been the finishing works which is
indeed ongoing.
The building had been laid on suitable and comfortable clay soil, which makes it not to
undergo differential settlement, and swelling movement.
11. 11
Limitations
First thing is first, there was no safety clothing.
There is no natural ventilation system that is provided to the building. And this makes
the building uncomfortable to the users. This is because the designer did not consider it
well.
The screening thickness that is recommended by Ethiopian Buildings Code of
Standards(EBCS) is 1.5cm, but this building is being screened by a thickness of 1.7cm.
This makes the building economically extravagant.
The building is being constructed near to the main road which makes the building
exposed to a vibration, and sound pollution that is uncomfortable for office working
condition.
The construction of the building would not be finished in its scheduled time. It had
been briefed to us that the construction period would have been three years; though the
involvement in the site is only working days. The construction must have been ended
and availed to the users by February, 2009 E.C, but it seemed to us it would not be
finished by the scheduled time.
12. 12
Conclusions and Recommendations
Conclusions
Generally, the building has been worked by overview of Building Authority of the South Gondar
Zone Administration.
Although there are some modifications to the design, the site is built based on the design, based
on project manager and supervisors provision, and specifications of Ethiopian Building Code of
Standards.
Recommendations
We suggest the contractor to provide safety clothing to its labors.
It is better if there would be modifications to the building to provide ventilation.
There should be a consideration of budget.
