2. Green Affordable Houses Must Be Attractive Economical Eco Friendly Proven Simple Speedy Sturdy Sustainable 3. While Designing The Building it isMore Appropriate To Work OutWhich is The Most SuitableConstruction Method i.e.,R.C.C.,STEEL,PRECAST,BRICK / MIVAN / R.C.B. 4. Affordable Due To Optimum Planning Detailed Designing Detailing of each Joint Appropriate Technology 5. PLANNING More common walls Least number of notches Least wall area / Floor area ratio Complete detailing for each member Minimum number of staircase Least common passages Least foot print & loading 6. LESS OFFSET, MORE COMMON WALLS10% More Carpet Area. So Most Affordable 7. 1.5 BHK in 3 Lacks Beauty with Economy 8. TOTAL COST WITH FINISHINGFor R.C.C. .. Rs. 1000/- per Sqft.For R.C.B . Rs. 700/- per Sqft. 9. 1) R.C.C. type of construction was taught byBritish & we are following Beam & Columntype of construction for the last hundredyears or so in India.2) R. C. C. building needs repairs within 15years of construction.Not that anything is wrong with R. C. C. butthere is more scope to use inferior material &workmanship in R.C.C.& hence need forearly repair. 10. 3) Our Forts, Old buildings, V. T.Station, Municipal Bldg., Palaces, Towers aregenerally constructed by Stone Masonry loadbearing method & have stood since hundredsof years without any major repair work.4) The same load bearing technology has beenfurther developed in U.S.A. which isSpeedy, Sturdy, Simple, Durable, Eco-Friendly which also saves 30% inconstruction cost & is called R.C.B./Reinforced Masonry/ C.M.U. 11.

Finishing & Fees Rs 321 Rs 321 ---------- TotalRs 1000Rs 700Rs 300Note : By Optimize Plan get 10% more Carpet Area. 78. Advantages of R.C.B. Method. Economy : As steel, cement, formwork, concrete & Laborrequired is almost half & due to simplicity of construction &speed, minimum saving is Rs. 300/- per sq. ft. Also byoptimum planning get up to 10% more carpet Area. Warranty: R.C.B. Method assured warrantee against heavyrain, flood, fire, storm, earth quake & all other naturalcalamities for at least 50 years. Fire Resistant : Due to concrete block & 3.5" cover tosteel, rusting is minimized & such buildings are fire & bomblast resistant. 79. Durable: Concrete blocks are attractive, durable and haveexcellent thermal, acoustic properties. No repair like R.C.C.is needed in every fifteen years. Earthquake: Load bearing concrete blocks can be designedto be wind, earthquake resistant too. Speed: No heavy equipment needed on site, lessformwork, less steel so construction is simple, speedier &hence economical. Architecture: Ancient type of architectural elevation is alsopossible by R.C.B type of construction. 80. R.C.B. is Useful For1) Retaining Wall2) Bridge Abutment3) Bridge Pier4) Highway Culverts 81. REMARKS1) For Affordability one needs to take a lot ofefforts in Planning, Design, Detailing, &technology.2) Every individual is a part of affordability.3) The client or owner must learn aboutaffordability first.4) Affordable structure is always green.5) Affordable does not mean cheap construction.6) By Optimum Plan get 10% more Carpet Area. 82. CONCLUSION 30%Considering Durability, Speed, Simplicity,Saving & 10% more Carpet Area. This EcoFriendly R.C.B. Construction is ParticularlySuited For,Housing,Slum Project,Transit Camp,Schools & Hospital,Hotel & Bungalow,Industrial Projects,Retaining Wall, Culverts etc. 83. Ganesh Kamat B.E. (Civil) M.S.
