Elements of a Building Structure – From Foundation to Roof
✨ A quick guide every Civil Engineer should know!
▶️ Footing & Base Concrete (P.C.C.)
Transfers the building load to the soil.
PCC (Plain Cement Concrete) provides stability.
Sand filling ensures a level base.
▶️ Flooring & Damp Proof Course (DPC)
Flooring creates the walking surface.
DPC prevents water/moisture from rising into walls
▶️ Brick Wall, Windows & Lintels
Brick wall = strength + enclosure.
Windows bring light & ventilation.
Lintel transfers load safely above openings.
▶️ Protection for Openings
Keeps out rain & direct sunlight.
Enhances durability of doors/windows.
▶️ RCC Roof Slab & Ceiling
The roof slab gives strength and stability.
Ceiling adds finishing & aesthetics.
▶️ Weathering Course, Parapet Wall & Coping
Weathering course protects against heat & rain.
Parapet ensures safety at roof level.
