DATA TO BE COLLECTED FOR REPLANNING OF BUILDING - TS

 




Planning a building requires the systematic collection of five core categories of data: site and location details, environmental and climatic factors, legal and zoning regulations, user requirements, and technical infrastructure details. Gathering this information thoroughly prevents structural issues, budget overruns, and compliance problems. 

1. Site and Location Data
Understanding the exact physical condition of the property is critical for foundation design and orientation. 
  • Topography & Contours: Details about the slope and elevation of the land.
  • Soil Investigation: Soil bearing capacity, type (e.g., clay, sand), and water table levels.
  • Boundaries & Dimensions: Exact plot measurements, total area, and surrounding access roads.
  • Existing Infrastructure: Location of nearby structures, trees, and markers. 
2. Legal and Regulatory Data
Building plans must strictly adhere to local and national governmental authorities. 
  • Zoning & Land Use: Whether the plot is designated for residential, commercial, or industrial use.
  • Building Bylaws: Local regulations dictating Floor Area Ratio (FAR), Floor Space Index (FSI), maximum height restrictions, and mandatory setbacks (distances from property lines).
  • Ownership Titles: Verified legal deeds and property documents. 
3. Climatic and Environmental Data
Data on local weather patterns dictates passive design strategies and energy efficiency. 
  • Sun Path: Prevailing sun angles (summer vs. winter) to optimize window placement and shading.
  • Wind Direction: Seasonal wind speeds and prevailing directions for natural ventilation.
  • Rainfall & Drainage: Average precipitation rates to design storm-water drains and a moisture-proof building envelope. 
4. Functional and User Requirement Data
This data ensures the building caters to its intended purpose and occupants. 
  • Space Program: The number, type, and size of rooms required (e.g., bedrooms, office cubicles, storage).
  • Occupancy Load: The maximum number of people expected to occupy the building at any given time (for exit and emergency planning).
  • Accessibility: Requirements for differently-abled individuals (e.g., ramps, elevators, door widths). 
5. Utility and Infrastructure Data
Essential for connecting the building to city grids and internal services. 
  • Water Supply: Connection points for municipal water, borewells, or overhead storage.
  • Electrical Power: Proximity to power grids, transformer locations, and load estimates.
  • Sewage & Waste: Locations for sewer lines, septic tanks, and solid waste disposal.

NOTCHES AND WEIRs

Image
   NOTCH ,WEIR AND ITS TYPES Notch A  notch  may be defined as an obstruction over which the flow of liquid occurs   In case of measuring tank or reservoir, the opening is provided at the side of the tank such that the liquid surface in the tank is below the top edge of the opening. Weir A  weir  is a notch on a large scale used for measuring the flow of a river, canal etc. It is a concrete or masonry structure of substantial breadth built across the river in the direction of flow. This allows the excess water to flow over its entire length to the downstream side. Thus a weir is similar to a small dam constructed across the river, with a difference that the excess water flows downstream only through a small portion called  spillway  and in case of weir, the excess water flows over its entire length. Nappe and crest The sheet of water flowing through a notch or over a weir is known as  nappe  or  vein . The bott...

Instruments used for chain surveying             Classification of surveying:      Chain Surveying Compass Surveying   Plane Table Surveying   Tachometric Surveying Etc.     Instruments used for chain surveying: The various instruments used in chain surveying are as follows.     Chain   Arrows   Pegs   Ranging Rods   Offset Rods   Plumb Bob   1.  Chain:   Chains are used to measure horizontal distances. Chains are formed of straight links of galvanized mild steel wire called links. The ends of each link are bent into a loop hand connected together by means of three oval rings which afford flexibility to the chain.           The chains made of mind steel. The ends of the chin are provided with brass handles for dragging the chain on the ground. The outside of the handle is the zero point or the end point of t...
