Plinth:
From the architecture view it is the base or platform
upon which a column, pedestal, statue, monument orb bstructure rests. The plinth usually rests directly on the
ground. According to Semper, the plinth exists to negotiate
between a structure and the ground. Semper’s theory has
been influential in the development of architecture.
BUILDING COMPONENTS AND THEIR BASIC REQUIREMENTSSuperstructure: It is an upward extension of an existing structure above a baseline. This term is applied to various kinds of physical structures such as buildings, bridges or ships having the degree off freedom zero.In order to improve the response during earthquake of buildings and bridges, the superstructure might be separated from its foundation by various civil engineering mechanisms or machinery. All together, these implement the system of earthquake protection called base isolation.
BRIDGES CONSTRUCTIONEvery bridge engineer should have ab bclear knowledge of the various terminologies used during the bridge design process. During the design process, every bridge can be divided broadly into three parts:1. Superstructure – It is that part of the structure which supports traffic and includes deck, slab and girders.2. SubstructureShare with your friends: |
