Bachelor of Technology: Study of Low Cost Building Mini Project Report

This mini-project report, submitted by civil engineering students from Annamacharya Institute of Technology & Sciences, presents a comprehensive study on low-cost building techniques. The report explores various aspects of building construction, including foundations, superstructures, damp prevention, doors, windows, roofing, and flooring. It delves into cost reduction strategies, examining areas where expenses can be minimized through alternative methods and materials. The project highlights the use of low-cost building materials such as bamboo, fly ash composites, and plantation timber, comparing their advantages over conventional construction. The report also includes detailed analyses of building components, failure mechanisms, and design considerations, providing a practical overview of sustainable and affordable construction practices. Additionally, it provides tables and figures for a better understanding of the project.
