Happy Independence Day😊

The lifelong practice of learning is what makes us and our lives worthwhile. ASCE Student Chapter of Meghnad Saha Institute of Technology is dedicated to the purpose of complete development of its students.

With this target the chapter has conducted its first technical talk session by Dr. Biswajit Thakur (Associate Professor at Meghnad Saha Institute of Technology) on▪ “Green Building”▪on 9th August, 2019.

With various slides and softwares he explained the different facets of Green Building. which are mainly the,
▪architecture
▪ wind
▪water
▪energy
▪materials
▪indoor environment

And also elaborated them. He also told about the Green Building Rating Systems and that ▪LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and ▪Green Globes are among the popular green building assessment and rating systems used around the world. To sum up, green buildings not only contribute towards a sustainable construction and environment but it also brings lots of benefits and advantages to building owners and users. Lower development costs, lower operating costs, increased comforts, healthier indoor environment quality, and enhanced durability and less maintenance costs are hallmarks of a typical green building.
The talk was delivered with great eloquence and hard lasting impression on the students. Around 100 people attended the session which included both the respected faculty members as well as students from 2nd and 3rd year. The Faculty advisor of the student chapter Professor Shoummo Roy also addressed the gathering followed by the President( Dibakar Bhanja Chowdhury) the student chapter who informed everyone of ASCE and the upcoming events that will be organized by the chapter in the upcoming days. The Head of the Department (HOD) of the Civil Department of the college appreciated the student chapter and encouraged everyone to carry on such endeavor in the future also.

At last thanks to every student members of this chapter and all of our respected faculties for coming and supporting us like this way.Thank you😊

We have successfully completed our orientation programme on 18.06.2019(Thursday).Thats why all the juniors of 2nd year and civil engineering faculties are now aware about ASCE.Hope very soon we can arrange the technical talks,paper presentations, technical events and the site visits for all the student members.
So please stay tuned with ASCE and support us.
THANK YOU😊

VISIT ON DTS SOUTHERN HEIGHTS

We went for site visit at DTS SOUTHERN HEIGHTS in Joka. We’re sharing our precious Experience and trying to give a description in a nutshell…

:-Creation, Improvement, Planning, Designing create a well-developed society. DTC Southern Heights is one of the biggest projects in South West Kolkata, covering an area of 20 acres with a total built up area of approximately 3 Million Sq. Ft. The residential project with modern amenities and luxuries, promises to take the ‘ LEVEL LIVING’. The project has already bagged 2 prestigious awards and has been awarded 5 star Rating from . Innovative approach to Master plan design has enabled optimum building density with efficient super built up area. Each flat has been designed to have 3 sided openness and Cross ventilation. Buildings are being made with system of construction that prevents leakage and damp walls and makes building more seismic-resistant and durable.
‘ ’ the Club House is an impeccable structure that houses many ultra-modern amenities and facilities. Curated green gardens and spaces across the project will take back to the lap of nature without compromising on the city life attractions.

NOW LET US DISCUSS ABOUT SAFETY, SAFETY IS MANDATORY FOR CONSTRACTION SITE.
: - The following materials are mandatory for safety.
• :- A hard hat is a type of helmet predominantly used in workplace environments such as industrial or construction sites to protect the head from injury due to falling objects, impact with other objects, debris, rain, and electric shock. Suspension bands inside the helmet spread the helmet's weight and the force of any impact over the top of the head. A suspension also provides space of approximately 30 mm (1.2 inch) between the helmet's shell and the wearer's head, so that if an object strikes the shell, the impact is less likely to be transmitted directly to the skull. Some helmet shells have a mid-line reinforcement ridge to improve impact resistance.
A bump cap is a lightweight hard hat using a simplified suspension or padding and a chin strap. Bump caps are used where there is a possibility of scraping or bumping one's head on equipment or structure projections, but are not sufficient to absorb large impacts, such as that from a tool dropped from several stories.
• : - A life Jacket or safety vest/jacket is an essential supplement for anyone taking part in industrial activities. Safety vests are the safety gear that is necessary to keep personnel visible to other people especially when working along roads or other places. The standards for safety vests are no different. However, they are also important for industrial needs as well such as in construction activities. For example, Safety jackets are worn by people that work at construction sites who have to follow a particular dress code. For men and women who work in construction environment activity-specific life vests provide the highest levels of safety. Since safety jackets are designed for the purpose of keeping the wearer clearly in view, they make abundant use of colors that can always be seen and glow in the dark. For example, fluorescent colors such as green, yellow and orange make it easier for workers to see and locate one another in dim lighting conditions. Also, for night work, which greatly increases the potential hazards, workers can wear a lighted safety jacket. The jackets act as a light source that make your vest or the stripes on your vest glow for higher visibility. There’s another type of safety jacket called the LED safety jacket (light emitting diode), that lights you up while you’re working.
• : - Foot injuries can be debilitating, resulting in time away from work or difficulty performing a job. Wearing safety shoes or boots can help prevent many foot injuries in the following ways
1. PROTECT FROM FALLING & FLYING OBJECTS
2. PROTECT FROM PUNCTURES
3. PROTECT FROM CUTTING HAZARDS
4. PROTECT FROM ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
5. PREVENT SLIPS, TRIPS & FALLS
6. PREVENT FATIGUE
7. PREVENT BURNS
8. PROTECT FROM EXTREME WEATHER

Innovation in technology has evolved the way they conceptualize, design, build and buy real estate. Digitization, artificial intelligence, big data, new construction methods, augmented reality, war for talent and innovation, are all transforming how people and companies think and function. Today technology has permeated into every aspect of real estate. The result is increase in productivity which has a direct impact on the economy of our country.
Cities in India are expanding and the construction industry has become multifaceted by adopting many new construction methods and technologies. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is being extensively used these days to design and operate buildings. The digital technology helps in creating and analyzing multiple vertical models of a building under different construction and operation scenarios. These tools are effective in not only saving time and money but have also helped in simplifying the design and construction process drastically. Construction industry professionals can visualize building components from early design stage and make design and structural modifications accordingly.
Energy Modelling is another technological innovation which is helping Real estate industry in a big way. In the past decade these energy simulation tools have become highly advanced and have helped in designing buildings which use minimal energy during their construction as well operational stages. Many buildings today use green energy solutions like photo voltaic, solar panels, high efficiency appliances, wind turbines. The main focal areas of these tools include energy consumption, life cycle costs and utility bills of items like air conditioning, hot water, lighting etc. These energy analysis models help in comparing different design models for efficiency, predicting future energy consumption and energy cost, carbon emissions etc. In long term energy conservation not only helps developers, building owners and tenants, but also the environment.
Faster construction methods like Pre-Fab technology, quick concrete and use of robotics and drones in construction has not only reduced construction timing, but has also resulted in better quality buildings. Prefabricated structures have been common in infrastructure projects for few decades now, but the technique is now becoming popular for constructing buildings as well. Various building elements are casted off-site and then bought and assembled at the site.
Quick concrete technology called MIVAN or Aluminium wall formwork has reduced the curing time of building structure by almost half of that of conventional casting methods. The method reduces labour intensive activities like masonry, with very few joints it reduces chances of building seepage, buildings are more seismic resistant and durable. Also, the building finishing is smooth and of high quality.
Technology has resulted in better and quick manufacturing and construction methods. With the help of computer aided design and energy modelling tools, pre-fab technology, shorter curing time for concrete, use of robotics in construction, 3 D printing – the overall turnaround time of a building from its conceptualization to being occupied by users has reduced drastically. Efficient building designs have resulted in better space utilization and creation of better working environment which has directly impacted productivity of employees. Big Data is playing a major role in analyzing market trends and user patterns. It has not only changed the way companies think but has also made real estate investments less risky.
