Building construction

Under Construction refers to the construction of buildings and buildings . This includes both the construction process and the result, the structure of the components in the finished structure. The term also describes a typical subject in civil engineering and architecture studies as well as the associated chairs.

The building construction is characterized by standards , regulations and technical rules, the so-called recognized rules of technology .

Adjacent subject areas in construction are building materials science , building physics , building chemistry and building biology , which deal with the material properties of building materials , and structural theory or statics , which investigates mechanical phenomena. Overall, one can also speak of construction technology in these areas .

Categorization

A clear classification of the building structure is not possible. Building structures can be categorized according to various criteria.

According to components

• Foundation - for example: deep foundation , shallow foundation
• Sealing - for example: white tub , black tub
• Wall construction
• ceiling
• Roof construction - for example: rafter roof , purlin roof

According to material

• Timber construction , timber panel construction
• Earth building , masonry construction
• Steel construction , metal construction
• Concrete construction , reinforced concrete construction , fiber concrete construction
• Shotcrete construction
• Drywall
• Constructions with plants: slope protection , spray greening

After joining the components

• Solid construction
• Bulkhead construction
• System construction
• Frame construction , half-timbering
• Scale-shaped constructions: brick roofing , shingle roofing
• Coating, for example, plaster , paint

According to building technologies

how the components are put together during the construction phase

• Large panel construction
• Room cell construction

According to construction phases

• Earthworks
• shell
• Interior work

A type of description known from the renovation of buildings is based on the so-called building age classes. Here, constructions typical of the age of the property are shown according to component groups.
