Rammed Earth
Rammed earth walls (aka pies) are constructed by the compacting (ramming) of moistened subsoil into place between temporary formwork panels. When dried, the result is a dense, hard monolithic wall.
Compressed Stabilised Earth Block
The first attempts for compressed earth blocks were tried in the early days of the 19th century in Europe. The architect François Cointereaux precast small blocks of rammed earth and he used hand rammers to compress the humid soil into a small wooden mould held with the feet.
The first steel manual press which has been produced in the world in the 1950’s was the Cinvaram. It was the result of a research programme for a social housing in Colombia to improve the hand moulded & sun dried brick (adobe). This press could get regular blocks in shape and size, denser, stronger and more water resistant than the common adobe. Since then many more types of machines were designed and many laboratories got specialized and skilled to identify the soils for buildings. Many countries in Africa as well as South America, India and South Asia have been using a lot this technique.
Poured Earth Concrete (PEC)
Poured Earth Concrete (PEC) has been an active area of research at AVEI since 2011. PEC is presently underutilized, and has great potential for poured foundations, walls, slabs and beams, and roads. The research conducted at AVEI has centered around deriving PEC mixes that achieve desired flow characteristics, while maintaining dry and wet strength, low water absorption, and low shrinkage. Deriving mixes appropriate to local soils, the necessary testing and finalization of formulations, with additions of plasticizers, and waterproofing agents, have been explored.
Exposed Brick
The holy grail of interior design, exposed brick walls are the ideal way to get a chic but discreet feature wall effect. Some fortunate homeowners only need to remove some unsightly drywall to reveal a stunning brick wall that works well with various interior design styles, from country to industrial.
Any wall you choose will become the centre of attention in the space, so an exposed brick expanse makes a striking statement. As working around edges will slow you down and require infill and meticulous restoration once you are done, a wall without doors or windows will be the easiest to strip. Count the number of outlets and radiators that are mounted on the wall.
If face plates or radiators are not already metal, we suggest switching to them because bare brick looks better with a “raw” contemporary aesthetic.
Jali Work
While the Mughals eventually used extremely finely carved plant-based designs, early jali work was constructed by cutting into stone, typically in geometric patterns. It functions scientifically for wind in addition to light, sun, and vision.
The velocity of air increases as the aperture gets smaller. Thus, even with a light breeze outside, there is a real presence inside. This increases effectiveness and offers deeper penetration. Physics fundamentals also indicate that it cools when air is compressed and released. This is comparable to an air conditioner in which the air is compressed by the compressor, as the name implies, and then released through tiny holes. Jali, therefore, contributes to cooling the air minutely by allowing it to travel through little holes.
Red oxide flooring
Red oxide flooring is environmentally friendly. The ease of use and aesthetic appeal are becoming more widely known. Red oxide flooring is a versatile option for your home. Ips walls
Vaulted Structures
In architecture, a vault is a self-supporting arched form, usually of stone or brick, serving to cover a space with a ceiling or roof. As in building an arch, a temporary support is needed while rings of voussoirs are constructed and the rings placed in position.
Bamboo contraction
Bamboo can be utilized as a building material for scaffolding, bridges, houses and buildings. Bamboo, like wood, is a natural composite material with a high strength-to-weight ratio useful for structures.[1] Bamboo’s strength-to-weight ratio is similar to timber, and its strength is generally similar to a strong softwood or hardwood timber.
Brick Pattern
Formal brick patterns have existed for practically as long as there have been bricks to make. Bricks may be stacked in a variety of ways and yet produce straight, clean edges since they are homogeneous modular units, which is what most people like when paving a brick patio or sidewalk.
Container House Design
The beauty of a shipping container is that it’s a blank slate for the imagination. With careful consideration for storage, partitions, appliances, and furnishings, empty steel shells can become highly practical homes equipped for off-grid and sustainable living. And, they can look good doing it.
Finished concrete
Finishing is frequently required for concrete that will be visible, such as driveways, roads, or patios. Depending on the intended service usage, a slab can be polished in various ways. Options include diverse hues and surface patterns, such as exposed aggregate or a stamped design. While some surfaces may merely need to be struck off and screeded to the correct elevation and contour, other characters can call for a broomed, floated, or trowelled finish.
Thus, the allure of glass for a continuous vista is not a recent development. Jali accomplished the same feat with more artistic grace and environmental management within sociocultural privacy and security denominations.
Fillers Slab
Alternative slab construction methods use filler slabs, which replace some of the concrete in the slab’s base with filler material. The fundamental idea is that the bottom half of an RCC slab does not structurally need concrete, while the top half of the slab needs concrete because it serves as a compression material. Therefore, this concrete component is replaced with a low-cost, lightweight filler material, such as clay pots, Mangalore tile, etc.
