INTRODUCTION

The aim of this project is to detailed study and

reproducing the design of traditional residential
building “Nalukettu” in Kerala.
 Nalukettu is the traditional homestead, where
many generations of families are lived. These
types of buildings are typically found in the
Indian state of Kerala.
HISTORY

These traditional buildings are typically a

rectangular structure where four halls are
joined together with a central court yard open
to the sky.
 Every structure faces the sunlight, and there is
excellent ventilation. Temperatures, even in the
heat of summer, are markedly lower within the
nalukettu.
CONT…..
 Main areas of nalukettu are…
 Nadumuttam(central courtyard)
 Nalirayam(varandha)
 Poomukham(sit out)
The four halls on the sides are named
Vadakkini (northern block),
Padinjattini (western block),
Kizhakkini (eastern block)
Thekkini (southern block)

NADUMUTTAM
AIM

 Aspects of nalukettu are taken and redesign

the building, Instead of woods and roofing tiles
concrete is used.
 And flooring tiles, roofing tiles, plastering work,
painting work is needed for aesthetical
appearance.
 This design comprises of concrete pillars,
concrete slabs, and lintels.
SCOPE
 This type of building is major trend in these days, due to
good aesthetical appearance & good features….
 Temperature of this building is very low compare to
other normal building.
 Four buildings are joined together ,so earth quake
resistance is good…
 this style of architecture has today become a status
symbol among the well to do in Kerala.
 Nalukettu is evident in the traditional homes of the
upper class homestead where customs and rituals were
a part of life.
CONTI….

 Its a better idea to create nalukettu homes

when you want to go traditional , you would
like much light and wind circulation in all over
your rooms, when you are not a big fan of cost
cutting.
LOCATION

 The proposed building

site is located kumily in
Kerala state.
 Site is 4 km away from
kumily town.
DETAILS OF DESIGN.

 Total area - 4000sqft.

 Buildup area- 2400sqft.
 Structure – framed
structure
 Analysis – moment
distribution.
 Design – limit state
design.
DETAILS OF DESIGN.

 Main specialty of these

building is a inner
courtyard.(3x3)
 Instead of wood pillars
we are used concrete
pillars.
DETAILS OF DESIGN.

 Poomukam known as
main sitout.
 Instead of this provide
portico…
DESIGN DETAILS
 In the case of new
generation Nalukettu
the roof structure is
made of concrete and
finishing is done
using tiles.
DESIGN DETAILS

 This reduces the usage

of wood and will
improve the building's
security.
 The tiles laid over the
roof will reduce leakage
and control the
temperature inside
during summer season
CONT…

 Also instead of the open

roof ,now the
nadumuttam(courtyard)
is closed with a high
quality glass for the
security reasons

MARKING
HIPPED ROOF
 A hip roof, or hipped roof, is a type of roof where
all sides slope downwards to the walls, usually
with a fairly gentle slope.
 Thus it is a house with no gables or other vertical
sides to the roof. A square hip roof is shaped like
a pyramid.
 Hip roofs on the houses could have two triangular
side and two trapezoidal one. A hip roof on a
rectangular plan has four faces. They are almost
always at the same pitch or slope, which makes
them symmetrical about the centerlines

ANALYISIS OF FRAME

 After proper analysis we got a safe moment in

every frame.
 Manual analysis of frames are find out by using

“MOMENT DISTRIBUTION METHOD OF FRAME

ANALYSIS .”

 For live loads , references ,and other values

are from the IS 875 part 2.
LOADS…

 For residential building we are taken the Imposed

load
UDL(KN/M^2) POINT LOAD
For all rooms &kitchen 2 1.8
Toilet & Bathroom 2 -
corriders, passages, 3 4.5
staircases
Balconies 3 1.5

BEAM DESIGN..
 Span = 4.5m
 D = 400mm
 d =360mm
 Con grade = M20
 Steel grade = Fe415
 Provide 2 no’s of 16mm dia bar as main
reinforcement.
 provide 2 no’s of 10mm dia bar as hanger bars
DESIGN DETAILS OF BEAM
DESIGN OF COLUMN.
 SQURE COLUMN DESIGN

 Column size = 300 x300 mm

 Design load =530 kN
 Concrete grade = M20
 Steel grade = Fe415
 Provide 4 nos of 20 mm dia bar at all corners of
main reinforcement
 Provide 8 mm dia lateral ties @ 300 mm c/c
DESIGN DETAILS OF RECTANGULAR COLUMN
 PITCH
 Lateral dimensions = 300 mm
 16 times dia of main bar = (16x 20) =320

 300 mm whichever is less

 Hence adopt 8 mm dia lateral ties @ 300 mm

CONCLUSION

 In our project we have made an attempt to design

a residential building as framed structure. The
shear force and bending moment diagram for the
framed structure for the residential building was
done by using STRAP software. All the members
were designed by limit state method, which is
more rational and realistic in comparison with
other design methods.
