    ADAPTATION OF BUILDINGS A. Major Changes (Structural Alterations)   1. Forming an Opening        1.1. Removing an internal wall in a load-bearing wall system 1.2. Removing a part of a floor 2. Creating another level 2.1. Inserting a mezzanine floor Load bearing Wall System Metal/wood-stud walls Lightweight masonry walls   Existing beams with hanger Wood subfloor Mezzanine structure  Wood Steel

 Surveying To determine the geometric organization of the plan and dimensions of the space to make initial design studies  - To make restoration of the building.  - To rebuild the demolished existing and ruined building. Drafting Equipment: Pencil, colored pen  Eraser Hard mounting pad  Triangles -Compass  Grid A3 size papers Measuring Equipment:  - Folding wooden ruler  -Clear hose  -Fish hook  -Adjustable protractor  - Steel 5m & 20 m. ruler  -Laser meter  -Plumb line  -Water level  -Plumb-level: Nivo, Mira -Theodolite (Teodolit) 1. Taking Photographs of the Space ( should be opposite corner ) 2. Preparing Sketches Preparing Ceiling Plan Sketches Preparing Section Sketches Preparing Exterior Facade Elevations 3. Taking Measurements

 Defect Types Design/construction deficiencies ( The designer should specify the materials, Lack of workmanship quality Deterioration due to wear and tear (Most affected areas are joinery, surface finishes, and mechanical items (ex: windows and doors)) Deterioration of materials due to dampness, climatic conditions and temperature Diagnosis & Remedies 1-Condensation: It is the change of the physical state of matter from the gas phase into the liquid phase. Ventilation/ fan  Direct heating the surface  Thermal Insulation 2. Rising Damp (Redwater on the slab on the ground next to the column) Repair: C reate a new  damp - proofing  course to prevent moisture movement  3. Rain penetration and remedies 4. Leakage in plumbing and drainage 5. Frost Heave 6. Expansion of Materials 7. Sulphate Action 8. Timber Decay  Wood Destroying Fungi
