    Architects make plans for new construction projects, modifications, and redevelopments. They utilize their expert development information and significant level drawing skills to design structures that are functional, safe, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing. Architects remain included all through the development procedure, adjusting their arrangements as indicated by spending requirements, natural elements, or customer needs. In that capacity, they work as a feature of a general undertaking configuration group, working intimately with a scope of development experts from amount assessors to building administration engineers.

    Architectural technicians are answerable for any technical specifications of a specific part of the architectural project. They create and design segments of the task with great detail, indicating definite estimations. They are typically entrusted with breaking down the usefulness of the project, just as assessing what potential mistakes could happen. Because of the precision required from the drafts and portrays, the technicians are appointed, they typically should draw a few representations of a similar segment with shifting edges and perspectives for the construction group.

    Talking of RMC than the designation Mix is certified on the supply challan. Further in case of doubt you can seek copy of the design mix formula followed. As regards slump test it is simply done to check the workability so as to ensure that delay in supply has not stiffened it which can create problems of flow into moulds. Strength is known after 7/8 days of casting which you can randomly do @45 cum of a lot.

    Functions:

    1. Earth Retaining Wall: Resist lateral pressure due to any material hold back by the wall. Used to retain soil, resist soil to flow in slopes, provides strong and stiff structure.
    2. Boundary wall: This type of wall used to protect home, gardens or any construction from surrounding hazards(like animals, theifs etc). This also provides to maintain privacy to the building.
    3. Load Bearing Wall: As the name suggests, it is used to bear loads from the upper structure and transfer to lower structure (i.e beam, slab, column and foundation).These walls used in load-bearing structures.
    4. Non Load bearing wall: It is simply a partition wall, used to maintain privacy between rooms and blocks. It does not take any load. Partition walls may be constructed after construction according to the demand of the owner

    AAC is also known as Autoclaved aerated concrete which is a lightweight, precast, foam concrete building material which is suitable for producing concrete masonry unit like blocks.

    The advantages of AAC masonry over the conventional brick masonry are as follows :-
    – AAC bricks are eco-friendly whereas conventional bricks are not.
    – On AAC block dead load on the structure is low which reduces the consumption of cement, steel and water whereas using red clay brick there’s a heavy dead load on the structure.
    – AAC blocks emits less heat in the atmosphere due to less use of cement, steel and concrete whereas on the other hand red clay bricks emits high heat to the atmosphere.
    – AAC blocks have less material wastage whereas conventional red clay bricks have high material wastage.
    – Thus, AAC have high sound insulation properties and red bricks have low insulation property.
