Recommendations for Site Selection
1. Site should be on the southern slopes of the hills to get maximum benefit of solar exposure throughout the day.
2. Site selected should be on the midland of leeward side of hills for minimum exposure of the building to cold winds coming from North.
Figure 9.1:
3. The site selected should have maximum gradient of 30 degree for ensuring stability and it also cut down construction cost of the building.
4. Buildings in cold climates should be clustered together to minimize exposure to cold winds. Open spaces must be such that they allow maximum south sun.
5. The site selected should not be prone to landslides and rock fall, it should be located in low or moderate hazard zone. The site should also be ensured for well compacted soil having good bearing capacity.
6. The site should be in sufficient proximity to the major activity areas of the town.
7. Site selected should not have very thick vegetation cover, sparse or moderate vegetation cover should be preferred. Also the onsite vegetation should be retained as far as possible.
8. The site should have all infrastructural facilities like road, water supply, electricity, sewage disposal and telecommunication.
9. Visibility is also one of the criteria for selection of site.
10. The site selected should have minimum site development cost.
9.1.2 Recommendations for Site Development
1. The minimum distance between two buildings should be in accordance to slope of site and orientation of site and
buildings. This could be a site for new lawns, animals and plants. These hazardous natural
During the construction phase, there will be a lot happening all over. This may vary from the actual erecting of the building, to the transport of goods, to the extraction of materials needed, etc. There will be a lot of damage done to the o-zone layer, a lot of habitat and biodiversity destroyed, amongst other things.
There are several ways to build the walls and floor so that heat is stored in the day and released at night. Night and day temperatures, as well as seasonal angles of the sun are things to think about in terms of location if you plan to build a home that utilizes solar energy, such as an earthship. Dave Black states “ An east west axis (90 degrees to true south) allows the longer side of the structure to be exposed to the sun.That’s where the big windows should be. North and east facing windows can lose a lot of heat in the winter, and west facing glass can cause overheating in summer, so they should be few and small.(Use overhangs over the windows to protect the interior from too much summer sun…….) .”
The proposed project will be located, “in the northwest portion of the City of San Marcos in North San Diego County. The site is situated to the west of the northern terminus of Las Posas Road, southwest of the San Marcos Highlands Specific Plan Area, northwest of the Santa Fe Hills residential community, and east of unincorporated lands within San Diego County”. The citation and all detail regarding the project come from the initial study, “CITY OF SAN MARCOS INITIAL STUDY EIR 16-001 MURAI SPECIFIC PLAN”. The area is currently undeveloped, but lays adjacent to an already existing residential area. The project area will be accessed from the public Las Posas Road.
The team member assigned to take photos should take pictures of the building structures from every angle. When taking exterior shots of the building it is important to take photos of the building structure and the landscape, because the two could possibly have a relation. Take as many photos as possible of the material used to construct the buildings. Basic features like windows, doors, stairs, fireplaces, and the designs of rooms in the house should also be included in the photos. When taking interior shots the photographer should focus on the interior style, attributes, unusual features, and design patterns if some are present.
To begin, after the site has been chosen several lengthy steps must follow, the site location meets all regulatory, environmental, historical and municipal zoning requirement approvals. Additionally, the property on which the tower will be constructed must be free and clear of all encumbrances and mortgages usually 100’ x 100’ square foot area of property. When all those steps are successfully completed and approved the construction can now move forward with a notice to proceed. There will be a site visit organized for the bidding process inviting pre-approved contractors, civil engineers,

Therefore, the request of relief for the setback will grant flexibility while also maintaining consistency with the overall purpose. The existing development along Fruitville Road has a peculiar mixture of building setbacks, which the requested adjustment will be consistent. As proposed Building E will comply with the maximum five-foot setback required at its northeastern corner. However, the buildings must be set back a maximum distance of 22.73 feet on the western end in order to maintain its shape. This will allow reason of such setback request in means of protecting and preserving exists large oak
Amec Foster Wheeler is a publicly traded company providing various services in markets such as Oil & Gas, Mining, Environment & Infrastructure and Clean Energy. The purpose of this report is to investigate and analyze stratigraphic units, geotechnical properties, identify the presence of weak clay layers in the Water Management Pond (WMP) site and how failures such as cracking can occur in embankment dams.
This site is located in the heart of Toronto’s affluent Yorkville neighbourhood, and will be the home of a 40-storey condo building. It has a luffing crane on site, so overhead protection had to be installed for pedestrians on Avenue Road in the form of wooden boards. These wooden boards were placed on
Not sure where you are in the process; however, if you have the building permits already, please send them as well. If not, please send when obtain.
The construction was difficult to design so many years ago because there was no surface bedrock. Engineers were also concerned with both high wind speeds and earthquakes. They did not have regulations that were required to follow regarding these problems. Instead architects and engineers chose designs
When a strip foundation is to be used on a sloping site the most economic solution is to use a stepped foundation which will reduce the amount of excavation, construction under ground, backfill and trench support. The provision of stepped foundations following the line of the ground requires each step to be between 150 and 225millimetres in order to accommodate brick or block courses. The lap of concrete at the step should be not less than the depth of the foundation concrete and never less than 300millimetres whichever is the greater.
