2. OBJECTIVES
The objective of the case study is to explore and observe the different
activities and techniques carried out on site. To explore the various types of
building materials and machinery on site. To have experience of an architectural
site visit and the practices going out there as an architect which will be very
useful in future and help us a lot.

3. INTRODUCTION
A Site visit is an official visit or approval visit to a site to examine the site and
to observe its environment & to determine its suitability for its enterprice.
A site visit for the construction of a hospital building was organised by
Col. Krishna Pal Singh on 27 july 2015 . The location of site visit was at NIMS
hospital and university near chandwaji Jaipur Rajasthan. A total of 38 students
attended the site visit. Then base on the plan, all student gathered at university
around 9:00am and we reached to the site after half an hour journey by bus.
After arrival to the site and meeting with the people in charge of guiding us, a
short brief about the project was given by Col. Krishna Pal Singh to start the
tour around the site.
After briefing the students were guided to the ground floor level and
awhile observing through , works such as flooring and some basic works were
going on. Next they guided us to the upper floors and during walking students
were able to see different types of materials, such as packets of Portland cement
or ducts before instillation for air conditioning purposes. After reaching to the
further floors , different things attracted students’attention such as beams
columns, pipes, scaffoldings and many others, plus watching workers working
on concrete stair by bending reinforcement bars. After that we had chance to
experience moving down by using scaffolding and once we reached the ground
level workers were preparing timber formworks which was quite interesting.
All this was a part of site visit of NIMS Jaipur Rajasthan for the exposure
of architecture students of Amity School of Architecture and Planning.

4. BEAMS AND COLUMNS STRUCTURE
Beams and columns are frequently used for a building's structure as a
replacement for steel. They are commonly used for precast building
solution, when combined with precast walling and flooring. The structural
precast columns are reinforced and can be used as a part of a
total precast concrete structure. A variation of finishes can be applied
according to the building type once the beams and columns are done.
Beams are commonly used as ledges for other forms of precast flooring to
rest on, but can also be used as a flooring option on their own. They are
manufactured to suit each particular building design. Some of the beams
included are Tee-Beams, L-Beams, Rectangular Beams, U-Beams and
Beam shells.
Reinforced concrete frame of the building including columns, beams, and slabs.

5. SCAFFOLDNG
Scaffolding, also called scaffold or staging, is a temporary structure used to
support a work crew and materials to aid in the construction, maintenance
and repair of buildings, bridges and all other man made structures. Scaffolding
is also used in adapted forms for formwork and shoring, grandstand seating,
concert stages, access/viewing towers, exhibition stands, ski ramps, half pipes
and art projects.

6. SCAFFOLDING
Scaffolding which is a temprary platform for workers to access to a place of work at
construction sites and also to support them as well as materials.

7. Concrete transfer machine

8. CONCRETE MIXER MACHINE
A concrete mixer (also commonly called a cement mixer) is a device that homogeneously
combines cement, aggregate such as sand or gravel, and water to form concrete. A typical
concrete mixer uses a revolving drum to mix the components. For smaller volume works portable
concrete mixers are often used so that the concrete can be made at the construction site, giving
the workers ample time to use the concrete before it hardens.
Concrete mixer machine to lift and lower materials and also to move them horizontally.

9. SHUTTERING
A temporary structure of wood in planks or strips used as a temporary structure
to contain setting concrete, to support the sides of trenches, or similar.

10. ALUMINIUM PARTITION

12. Reinforced concrete beams intersects.

13. STAIRS
A stairway, staircase, stairwell, flight of stairs, or simply stairs is a construction
designed to bridge a large vertical distance by dividing it into smaller vertical
distances, called steps. Stairs may be straight, round, or may consist of two or
more straight pieces connected at angles.
This is the construction details of a staircase
.

14. FOUNDATION
A foundation (or more commonly, foundations) is the element of
an architectural structure which connects it to the ground, and
transfers load from the structure to the ground. Foundations are generally
considered either shallow or deep.

15. STIRRUPS
A machine for armature bending and making stirrups. Angle defining is done
over metal trunnions, at the same time three independent angles can
be defined on the left or right side. A special part with limit stops can be added
for bending stirrups.

16. CONCLUSION
At the end of the visit and experiencing real working space and the environment
of construction and Architecture . I realized that working at a construction site is
much more different than studying in studios , classroom and books. This site
visit gave me a chance to experience and learn what cannot be gained during
lectures and in studios. Finally , this site visit helped for better understanding
what I am going to face in future and also , giving me better understanding about
construction to help me in my studying . In overall , it was a great fun and
experience for me.
