DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
IDEA WAS OBTAINED BY USING
A SQUARE BASE. IT MAXIMISIS
THE AREA USAGE AND FITS
INTO THE REQUIREMENT OF
0.75 X 0.75M.
IT FURTHER DEVELOPS
INTO A TRIANGULAR ROOF.
MAKING IT A COCOON LIKE
SHAPE AND TRIANGLES ARE
STRONG IN SHAPE.
SPACES ARE ADDED BY
ADDING COLLUMNS
BETWEEN THE ROOF AND
BASE.
ADD THE DIAGONAL BRACINGS
TO THE STRUCTURE FOR FIRM
SUPPORT AND SHAPE.
PLACE ROOF RAFTERS ON
THE ROOF BEAM AND
PLACE THE ROOF ON IN

4. 4
DESIGN STRUCTURE
THE WOODEN SHELTER
DESIGN STRUCTURE ARE
CONSTRUCTED WITH 4
COLUMNS SUPPORTED
BY 3 SIDES OF
DIAGONAL BRACING TO
FORM A SHED
STRUCTURE.
THE FLOOR SLAB IS
MADE OF 6 BLOCKS OF
WOOD IN A SET OF 3-3
IN EDGE CROSS LAP
JOINT.
A PLYWOOD AS THE
ROOF RESTING ON 3
ROOF RAFTERS. THE
ROOF IS A LITTLE OVER
HANGING TO MAKE THE
STRUCTURE WHEATHER
PROOF.

5. 5
MATERIALS USED
1. WOODEN PLANKS AND WOODEN
STICKS.
WOODEN PLANKS AND WOODEN STICKS WERE
HIGH LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY.
STRONG AND DURABLE IN ALL WEATHER.
ENVIORNMENTAL FRIENDLY.
EASY TO CONSTRUCT WITH.
HIGH FRICTION AND HIGH COMPRESSION.
LOW HEAT CONDUCTIVITY
NATURAL THERMAL INSULATION

6. 6
MATRIAL USED
3. PLASTIC SHEET
PLASTIC SHEETS ARE USUALLY USED AS THE
BATHROOM SHOWER CURTAINS. WE ARE USING
THIS FOR THE OUTER COVER SINCE ITS WATER
PROOF.
ADVANTAGES
LIGHT AND EASY TO USE
HIGH TENSILE AND IMPACT RESISTANCE
WATER PROOF
2.PLYWOOD
PLYWOOD IS ENGINEERED WOOD PRODUCT WHICH IS
MADE BY LAYERS OF THINVENEERS OR PILES OF
SOFTWOOD OR HARDWOOD GLUED TOGETHER AT
RIGHT ANGLES WHICH IS WHAT GIVES IT ITS STRENGTH.
WE USED IT FOR OUR ROOF SINCE ITS WEATHER PROOF
AND STRONG.
ADVANTAGES.
RESISTANT TO CRACKING AND TWISTING.
HIGH LOAD CAPACITY.
WEATHER PROOF.
WATER PROOF.

7. 7
CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
FLOOR BEAM AND
JOIST
THE FLOOR SYSTEM IS MADE
OF 6 WOODEN BLOCKS. 3 AS
JOIST AND 3 AS BEAMS.THESE
ARE JOINT BY THE CROSS LAP
JOINT. THEY FORM A WAFFLE
LIKE FORMATION.
FLOOR SLAB
THE FLOOR SLAB INCLUDES 6
WOODEN PLANKS PLACED
ON THE FLOOR JOIST. THESE
ARE NAILED TO THE BASE.
FLOOR STRUCTURE TO COLUMN
STRUCTURE.
THE COLUMNS RUN FROM THE BASE JOIST AND
BEAM STRUCTURE THROUGH THE FLOOR
SLAB.THE WOODEN STICKS WE USED ARE BOLTED
TO THE BASE AND DO NOT STAND ON GROUND
HENCE TRANSFERING ITS LOAD THROUGH THE
BASE.

8. 8
CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
DIAGONAL BRACINGS.
THE DIAGONAL BRACINGS ARE
PLACED TO AVOID THE MOVMENT OF
THE COLUMNS AND PROVIDE
STABILTY TO THE STRUCTURE,
MOSTLY BY PREVENTING IT FROM
TWISTING. IN OUR CASE THERE ARE
DIAGONAL BRACINGS FROM 3 SIDES.
ROOF SYSTEM
AFTER THE STABILTY
AND STRENGTH IS IN
PLACE WE PLACE THE
RAFTERS FOR THE
ROOF. THESE RAFTERS
ARE PLACED ON THE
ROOF BEAMS
FOLLOWED BY THE
PLYWOOD ROOF.
FINAL PRODUCT.
AFTER THE CONSTRUCTION, THE FINAL
TOUCH IS GIVEN BY COVERING THE
STRUCTURE BY A PLASTIC SHEET TO
WEATHER PROOF IT.

CONSTRUCTION DETAILS-
JOINTS
Combination of
butt joint and
metered joint.
Different types
of joints used
together here so
as to make this
part stronger
since there is a
lot of wood
sticks together
Corner block used to
strengthen the
structure and prevent
it from moving/
breaking.
Rafters are joined using
the lap joint
Columns are directly
joined to the beam
using screws so as to
keep the whole
structure stable
Brace joined using screw
that will hold them
together tightly
Cross lap joint used for the base. This
joint is best for supporting the weight
of the user standing on it

10. 10
LOAD TESTING AND LOAD
DISTRIBUTION
DEAD LOAD:
REFERS TO THE LOAD THAT DONT CHANGE OVER
TIME, SUCH AS THE WEIGHT OF THE MATERIALS
AND COMPONENTES OF THE STRUCTURE. THE
LOAD OF THE SHELTER IS TRASFERRED FROM THE
ROOF TO THE COLOUMN AND THEN TO THE BASE.
LIVE LOAD :
REFERS TO THE LOAD THAT CHANGES OVER
TIME, SUCH AS PEOPLE WALKING AROUND OR
MOVEABLE OBJECTS. WHEN THERE IS A LIVE
LOAD ON THE SHELTER THE DISTRIBUTION OF
THE LOAD INCREASES. THE LOAD OF THE LIVE
LOAD IS TRANSFERRED EVENLY FROM THE
FLOOR SLAB TO THE GROUND.

11. LOAD TESTING

Different human weight used to test the base
