For the collection of necessary terrain information, we can use topographic, geological,
hydrogeological and geotechnical maps; whose reliability will be verified by establishing
real contact with the terrain.
It is recommended to review reports written for the existing buildings in the immediate
areas to the terrain, which can provide interesting information about the terrain.
1.2. Preliminary studies: Preliminary information necessary for the design of the construction.
Studies of soil mechanics: With the results of resistance and characteristics of the
soil; we can decide the type, depth and materials of the foundations, in addition to
the maximum load capacity that the terrain accepts.
Environmental impact study: It analyzes the interaction of a project with the
environment, especially when the project has an effect on the flora, fauna and
population.
Topographic study: Information is collected on the relief of the terrain, graphically
representing its surface characteristics, indicating its location, height above sea
level, area and measurements of the perimeter of the terrain.
The basic formulation of the project is done, which consists of the design of plants and
elevations, without determining the exact dimensioning.
The cost of the construction is estimated and the feasibility of the project is analyzed.
They contain the design, blueprints, detailed specifications, temporary programming of project
execution and budget.
2. Development System:
Offices
Warehouses
Guard stalls
Dining rooms
Dressing rooms
Hygienic services
Perimeter fences
Constructions poster
Water
Drainage
Electric power
Telephone and communication installation
It includes all preliminary activities necessary for the execution of the works.
It includes the cleaning, deforestation and elimination of the vegetal layer of the terrain.
The stroke is the process of defining and measuring in a terrain the dimensions of the
construction site.
The leveling consists in establishing a permanent reference level during the construction, to
establish the unevenness of the terrain, the depth of the foundations and the height of the
walls, beams, among others.
The stakeout is the operation that aims to transfer to the terrain the dimensions and shapes
indicated in the blueprints that make up the documentation of the construction.
2.3. Excavations:
The excavation of ditches will be carried out so that the trenches allow the foundations to have
the dimensions and reach the depths specified in the blueprints.
Types:
Manual:
It is performed by operators using their physical strength aided by hand tools such as shovels,
spikes, etc.
Mechanics:
It is carried out with heavy equipment or excavating machines.
It should be taken into account that whenever you are running any excavation the land that is
removed increases in volume by 20 to 40 percent according to the nature of the terrain.
The cuts are open-pit excavations in the natural terrain to reach the level specified in the
blueprint.
Filling is the work carried out in the construction to raise the elevation of the natural profile of
the terrain, or restore a level after excavation.
2.5. Foundations:
The foundations are the part of the structure that allows the transmission of the loads that act,
towards the ground or towards the underlying rock.
Structural elements are found above the foundations and serve as a link between the wall and
the foundation, whose function is to transmit to them the loads due to the weight of the
structure.
2.7. Columns:
The columns are structural elements that serve to support axial loads that come from the
factorized loads of all the mezzanines or roofs, producing in them compression and tension.
To absorb these forces produced in the column due to the loads is added structural steel as
longitudinal reinforcement; as well as transverse steel.
2.8. Beams:
The bending stress causes tension and compression, producing the maximum values in the
lower and upper cord, which are calculated with the bending moment. Cutting forces occur in
areas close to the supports.
2.9. Slabs: Structure of reinforced concrete used as a mezzanine or roof of a building. Can be:
Solid slabs: These are slabs of flat or curved surfaces, made up of concrete in all its
thickness and extension.
Lightened Slabs: These are slabs made of concrete joists and light filler elements. The
joists are joined together by a concrete slab or top layer. The filler elements consist of
bricks, hollow blocks or light elements that serve to lighten the weight of the slab.
Supporting walls: They have the structural function, they support loads of other structural
elements such as arches, vaults, beams, joists and roof.
Non-bearing walls: Only act as enclosure and divisions. These walls do not support loads due to
the material with which they are built.
