DESCRIPTION
Green Buildings-Reinforced Masonry Construction Method for Hotels, Saves 20% cost.Sir, I would like to introduce one such building construction system whichmay change the total scenario of construction in near future.*This building system can put a great role in making Green Buildings,Eco-friendly homes, Hotel, Slum Re-development, Transit Camp. *It’s called Reinforced Masonry or C.M.U.,or Reinforced Concrete BlockMasonry.(R.C.B.) Hope you must have heard about this or else to knowmore please visit our web site. www.AffordableConstruction.in 1)R.C.C.(Reinforced Cement Concrete) type of construction was taught by British & we are followingBeam & Column type of construction for the last hundred years or so inIndia. 2) R. C. C. building needs repairs within 15 years of construction.Not that anything is wrong with R. C. C. but there is more scope touse inferior material & workmanship in R.C.C.& hence need for earlyrepair. 3)Our Forts, Old buildings V. T. Station. Municipal Bldg., Palaces,Towers are generally constructed by Stone Masonry load bearing method& have stood for hundreds of years without any major repair work. 4)The same load bearing technology has been further developed inU.S.A.& is called R.C.B.(Reinforced Concrete Block) which is Speedy, Sturdy, Simple, Durable,Eco-Friendly also saves 20%in construction cost. CalledR.C.B./Reinforced Masonry. 5)R. C.B. is a proven method of construction with millions ofbuildings being built by this way in the world. 6) 300 buildings are built by R.C.B. design in India & U.S.A. by us. 7)Eco-friendly as it SAVES100%bricks,50%steel+shuttering,40%concrete,25%utility bill. So R.C.B./C.M.U./Reinforced Masonry is Eco-friendly,Affordable,Durable,Speedy,Simple.----------------Advantages of shear wall R.C.B. method of construction---------------A)Economy : As steel, cement, shuttering, concrete & Labour required isalmost half & due to simplicity of construction & speed minimum savingis Rs. 200/- per sq. ft. B)Fire Proof : Due to concrete block & 3" cover to steel, rusting isminimized & such buildings are fire & bomb last proof. C)Durable : Concrete blocks are attractive, durable and have excellentthermal, acoustic properties. No repair like R.C.C. is needed in everyten years. D)Earthquake: Load bearing concrete blocks can be designed to be wind,earthquake resistant too. E)Speed: No heavy equipment needed on site, less form-work, less steelso construction is simple, speedier & hence economical. E)Architecture: Ancient type of architectural elevation is alsopossible by R.C.B type of construction.-----------METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION------------*8"X8"X16" concrete blocks with two holes are laid one upon another by staggered joint.*Vertical reinforcement is placed through these holes & those holes are grouted.*No column, No beam just shear wall & slab staircase is by R.C.C.*Foundation is simple R.C.C. wall footing.------------------CONCLUSION------------------*Considering durability, speed, simplicity & saving this R.C.Bconstruction is particularly suited for housing, slum project, transitcamp, schools, hospital, hotel, bungalow & industrial projects. **Awaiting for your comments Ganesh KamatB.E.(civil),Mumbai.M.S.(U.S.A.)

Innovation In Construction
Technology For Affordable
Housing
While Designing The Building it is More Appropriate To Work Out Which is The Most Suitable Construction Method i.e.,
R.C.C.,STEEL,PRECAST,BRICK / R.C.B.
Construction Method MUST Be Attractive Economical Eco Friendly Proven Simple Speedy Sturdy Sustainable
1) R.C.C. type of construction was taught by British & we are following Beam & Column type of construction for the last hundred years or so in India. 2) R. C. C. building needs repairs within 15 years of construction.Not that anything is wrong with R. C. C. but there is more scope to use inferior material & workmanship in R.C.C.& hence need for early repair.
3) Our Forts, Old buildings, V. T. Station, Municipal Bldg., Palaces, Towers are generally constructed by Stone Masonry load bearing method& have stood since hundreds of years without any major repair work. 4) The same load bearing technology has been further developed in U.S.A. which is Speedy, Sturdy, Simple, Durable, Eco-Friendly which also saves 20% in construction cost & is calledR.C.B./ Reinforced Masonry/ C.M.U.
As Air is freely available and Hollow Concrete Block is 50% hollow, if a structure is built by R.C.B. the cost of construction is slashed down.

Fire Proof : Due to concrete block & 3" cover to steel, rusting is minimized & such buildings are fire & bomblast proof.
Durable: Concrete blocks are attractive, durable and have excellent thermal, acoustic properties. No repair like R.C.C. is needed in every ten years.
Earthquake: Load bearing concrete blocks can be designed to be wind, earthquake resistant too.
Speed: No heavy equipment needed on site, less formwork, less steel so construction is simple, speedier & hence economical.
Architecture: Ancient type of architectural elevation is also possible by R.C.B type of construction.
R.C.B. is Useful For
1) Retaining Wall2) Bridge Abutment3) Bridge Pier4) Highway Culverts
CONCLUSION Considering Durability, Speed, Simplicity & Saving, This Eco Friendly R.C.B. Construction is Particularly Suited For,
Housing, Slum Project, Transit Camp, Schools & Hospital, Hotel & Bungalow, Industrial Projects, Retaining Wall, Culverts etc.
