    When the height of member is less than 3times the least lateral dimensions of column it is termed as pedestal whereas when the value is greater than 3times least lateral dimension it is termed as column.

    For Pedestals (whose effective length is less than three times the least lateral dimension) the minimum reinforcement is specified as 0.15 percent cross sectional area of concrete.

    Demolition is defined as simply the safe and careful removal of existing buildings & structures in order to utilise the land for another use.

    The several methods for the demolition of any structure are as follows ;

    • Total Demolition : It refers to the demolition of an entire building or structure. In case of community re-structure, this is the most common method.
    • Interior Demolition : This method refers to the demolition of interior part of the building, while protecting and maintaining the exterior structure. For example; partition walls, ceilings, etc. This method is one of the great option for creating more space inside the building by removing the troubling areas.
    • Selective Demolition : This method refers to the removing of specific parts of the building. In case if there is a old building which is not performing as it should & the entire building is not a state of concern. Or perhaps it is a listed building, therefore it may be restricted as to what and how much you can demolish. So you could select a particular section of a building to demolish and build up from scratch.

    Defect Liability period is a particular amount of time given to the contractor after the completion of a project to check if the project is delivered in good shape, whereby if any defects be detected, the contractor is to fix the defect for free during the defect liability period.

    For the G+1 structure, the load-bearing structure is consistently prudent. Notwithstanding, if it is a modern structure or the dirt conditions are terrible, at that point, confined structures are liked. Regardless of whether you settle on load-bearing sort structure, it is fitting to give RCC groups at plinth, ledge, and lintel levels to improve the seismic obstruction of the structure. In addition, On the off chance that the range of the section or pillar is progressive, at that point, to stay away from load fixation from bars on to the heap bearing dividers, it will be smarter to go for encircled structure. Likewise, the surrounded structure gives adaptability of receiving diverse floor plans for Ground and First floor.

    Generally, shear strength is a term used in soil mechanics to describe the magnitude of the shear stress that a soil can sustain. The shear resistant of soil is a result of friction and interlocking of particles, and possibly cementation or bonding at particle contacts. Due to interlocking, particulate material may expand or contract in volume as it is subject to shear strength. If soil expands its volume, the density of particles will decrease and the strength will decrease; in this case the peak strength would be followed by a reduction of shear stress.
