    Damp proofing
    • Essential requirement of building it should b dry. Dampness
    in building may occur due to bad design, faulty const and
    poor material. Hence treatment to check dampness is consider
    to be on of the important item to construction . The treatment
    given to keep the walls , floors and basement dry termed as
    damp proofing.
    Causes of Dampness:
    • Absorption of moisture by building material.
    • Faulty design of structure
    • Bad workmanship
    • Use of defective material
    Defects caused by dampness:
    • Efflorescences
    • Softening and crumbling of plaster
    • Bleaching and flaking of paint
    • Warping ,buckling and rotting of timber
    • Corrosion of metals
    • Deteriorate electric fitting
    • Promote growth of termites
    Methods of Damp proofing
    • Membrane
    • Integral
    • Surface Treatment
    • Guniting
    • Cavity Wall construction
    Membrane Damp-proofing
    • It Consist in providing layer or membrane(dpc) of water
    repellent material between the source of dampness
    and the part of the structure adjacent to it.
    • It may b bituminous felt, mastic asphalt, silicon,epoxy,
    plastic, polymer, cement concrete.
    • According to sources of dampness dpc provided
    vertically or horizontaly
    Integral Damp-proofing
    • This consist in adding some waterproofing compound
    with the conc. Mix to increase its permeability.
    • Compound made from clay , sand or lime help to fill
    the voids
    • Another form of compound alkaline silicates ,
    aluminum sulphates , Calcium chloride etc.
    • Compound is added to cement, one kg of compound
    added with one bag of cement .
    Surface treatment
    • Filling up the pores of the surface subjected to
    dampness.
    • Use of water repellent metallic soaps such as calcium
    and aluminum oleates .
    • Bitumeneous solution, cement coatings , transparent
    coatings , paints and varnish fall under it.
    • Inacase of wall lime plaster use.
    Guniting
    • Deposited an impervious layer of rich C.M.
    Over the surface to be water-proofed.
    • Using Cementgun.50mm dia hose pipe.
    • Surface is prepared first.
    • Cement sand proportion 1:3 to 1:4
    • Pressure 2 to 3 kg/sqcm
    • Distance of gun 75 to 90cm from working face.
    Cavity wall construction
    • This consist in shielding the main wall of the building by
    an outer skin wall leaving a cavity between the two.
    • Cavity prevent the moisture from travelling from the
    outer wall to the inner wall
    Fire proof construction
    • Max use of non –combustible material use.
    • Wall and columns should be thicker, so they act as fire barrier .
    • As far as fire resisting material should be used in const of flooring
    • Reinforced Concrete framed structure should be preferred to steel
    structure.
    • The walls should be plastered with fire resistive mortar.
    • Doors , Windows or exposed sides should be glazed and fitted with
    glass pannel.
    • Use Of metal doors ,steel frames.
    • Due consideration should be made for providing suitable means of
    escape for the occupants.
    Fire protection requirement for a multistoried
    Building
    • Structure: it can be RCC or steel
    • Internal wall and partitions: in brick, hollow conc blocks,
    tiles .
    • Staircase: The enclosing walls of the main staircase should
    have a fire resistance of not less than one hour.
    • Fire escape or ext stairs: Suitable provision of fire escape in
    the form of ext stairs.
    • Basement: It should be ventilated . staircase of basement
    should be of enclosed type and should have fire resistant of
    not less than two hours.
    • Water Storage tank: There should be a provision of an
    underground water storage tank of one to two lakhs litres
    capacity exclusively meant for fire fighting purposes.
    • Fire detection and Extinguishing system:
    All multistoried buildings should have adequate provision for
    fire detection and fire extinguishing.
