 3.4 GREEN FIELD, BROWN FIELD, QUALITY, COST & TIME
AND APPROACH MANAGEMENT

3.4.1 GREENFIELD
Greenfield is a term from the construction industry that refers to undeveloped land. In
many disciplines a greenfield project is one that lacks constraints imposed by prior building and
its architectural assumptions. The analogy is to that of construction on greenfield land where
work starts from the scratch including acquisition of land, statutory permissions which are real
challenges.

3.4.2 BROWNFIELD
In a brownfield project the structure would need to be demolished or renovated. The
term brownfield was originally used in construction and development to reference land that at
some point was occupied by a permanent structure. Today, the term brownfield project is used in
many industries, including software development, to mean to start a project based on prior work
or to rebuild (engineer) a product from an existing one.

3.4.3 QUALITY, COST AND TIME

Fig.8 Quality, Cost and Time

The triangle illustrates the relationship between three primary forces in a project. Time is
the available time to deliver the project, cost represents the amount of money or resources
available and quality represents the fit-to-purpose that the project must achieve to be a success.
Time – Time, in construction, is analysed down to its smallest detail. The amount of time
required to complete each and every component of a project is analysed. Once analysis has taken
place, those components are broken down even further into the time required to do each task.
Obviously from all of this we are able to estimate the duration of the project as well as the
personnel and equipment required.

Cost – Resources always cost money so the two are interchangeable in many ways. When we
talk about the cost of a project, we are talking about what needs to be applied or assigned to
building of your new project in terms of money and effort in order to make things happen. This

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, GSKSJTI Page 16

can be resources like manpower, machinery and materials. These could be owned directly by the
builder, or be in the form of contractors and external suppliers.

Quality – There are many components to quality however one particularly important one is the
scope of a project (often called the Scope of Work or Specifications). This is a clear, specific
statement as to what has been agreed to be performed/achieved in building your projects. In
other words – the contract, specifications and the drawings that you have signed.

3.4.4 APPROACH MANAGEMENT.

3.4.4.1 TOP DOWN APPROACH

 Resources professional prepare integrated, multipurpose „master‟ development plans

with alternative structural and non-structural management options.
 Dominance of professional; little participation of stakeholders.
 One or more institution have the ability and authority to develop and implement the plan.
 However, nowadays, since public have active participation in planning and management
activities, top down approach are becoming less desirable or acceptably.

3.4.4.2 BOTTOM UP APPROACH

 Active participation of interested stakeholders – those affected by the management of the

water and land resources.
 Plans are being created from the bottom up rather than top down.
 Top down Approach plans do not take into consideration the concerns of affected local
stakeholders.
 Bottom up Approach ensures cooperation and commitment from stakeholders.
 Trade-offs between conflicting goals or measures of performance.

 3.5 GREEN BUILDING
Introduction of Green Building

Green building is the idea of designing a home so that it is environmentally friendly. A green
building is an environmentally sustainable building, designed, constructed and operated to
minimize the total environmental impacts. It is environmentally responsible, profitable and a
healthy place to live and work. Buildings account for one-sixth of the world‟s fresh water
withdrawals, one-quarter of its wood harvest and two-fifths of its material and energy flows.
Building “green” is an opportunity to use our resources efficiently while creating healthier
buildings that improve human health, build a better environment and provide cost savings in
long run. Green building green architecture, sustainable building, high performance building,
high yield building and low impact building are all same and refers to a structure and using
process that is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building‟s life-
cycle: from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and demolition.
This requires close cooperation of the design team, the architects, the engineers and the client at
all project stage.

History of Green Building

The concept of sustainable development can be traced to the energy (especially fossil oil) crisis
and the environment pollution concern in the 1970s. The green building movement in the US
originated from the need and desire for more energy efficient and environmentally friendly
construction practices. There are a number of motives for building green, including
environmental, economic and social benefits.

Necessity of Green Building

Many of us think that what is the use of having green technology, as it is very costly and require
highly skilled management, why can‟t we stick to the old conventional building practices? Stop
for a second and look around, we all can see that we are absolutely changing the nature, we are
cutting the green trees and forests and constructing the modern cities. We are using all the
renewable sources on the earth which are in limited quantities. Green building is essential
because we are running out of resources to continue living as we have in the past. We want there
to be enough resources for everyone now and in the future. Green building may seem like a
tricky investment at first, but the rewards are great over time.

Green buildings are required to replace traditional building because traditional buildings
consume or are responsible for:
• 45% of the world‟s total energy use
• 50% of all materials and resources
• 50% of wood use in North America
• 33% of the world‟s CO2 emission
• 80% of potable water use
• 25% of freshwater withdrawal (including power plants)

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, GSKSJTI Page 18

• 40% of municipal solid waste destined for local landfills, and
• 50% of ozone-depleting CFC‟s still in use.

Objectives of Green Building

The common objective is that green buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact of the
built environment on human health and the natural environment by:
1.Efficiently using energy, water and other resources
2.Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity
3.Reducing waste, pollution and environment impact.

Goals of Green Building

The following are the goals of a green building

1. Select the site so that the building can use maximum natural resources.
2. To design the building in such a way that it should use the resources efficiently
3. To use energy efficiently.
4. To use water efficiently.
5. To use materials efficiently.
6. To improve indoor environmental quality.
7. To optimize operation and maintenance.
8. To reduce waste from the building.

 3.6 EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING
EARTH QUAKE
Earthquake is the vibration of earth‟s surface caused by waves coming from a source of
disturbance inside the earth. Most earthquakes of engineering significance are of tectonic origin
and is caused by slip along geological faults.

The typical characteristics of earthquake depend on:

1. Stress drop during the slip.

2. Total fault displacement.

3. Size of slipped area.

4. Roughness of the slipping process.

5. Fault shape (Normal fault, Reverse fault, Strike slip fault) .

6. Proximity of the slipped area to the ground surface.

7. Soil condition.

As the waves radiate from the fault, they undergo geometric spreading and attenuation due to
loss of energy in the rocks. Since the interior of the earth consists of heterogeneous formations,
the waves undergo multiple reflections, retraction, dispersion and attenuation as they travel. The
seismic waves arriving at a site on the surface of the earth are a result of complex superposition
giving rise to irregular motion.

Fig.10 Movement of strata during earthquake

Earthquake engineering is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering that designs and analyses
structures, such as buildings and bridges, with earthquakes in mind. Its overall goal is to make
such structures more resistant to earthquakes. An earthquake (or seismic) engineer aims to
construct structures that will not be damaged in minor shaking and will avoid serious damage or

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, GSKSJTI Page 20

collapse in a major earthquake. Earthquake engineering is the scientific field concerned with
protecting society, the natural environment, and the man-made environment from earthquakes by
limiting the seismic risk to socio-economically acceptable levels.[1] Traditionally, it has been
narrowly defined as the study of the behaviour of structures and geo-structures subject to seismic
loading; it is considered as a subset of structural engineering, geotechnical
engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, applied physics, etc. However, the
tremendous costs experienced in recent earthquakes have led to an expansion of its scope to
encompass disciplines from the wider field of civil engineering, mechanical engineering and
from the social sciences, especially sociology, political science, economics and finance.
The main objectives of earthquake engineering are:

 Foresee the potential consequences of strong earthquakes on urban areas and civil
infrastructure.
 Design, construct and maintain structures to perform at earthquake exposure up to the
expectations and in compliance with building codes.
 Understand what happens between buildings and the ground.
 Understand what strong earthquakes or tsunamis might do to building structures.
 Design, build and maintain structures to last during an earthquake while following
building codes.

 IS Code 1893(2002) governing the earth quake resistant design.

Earthquake Technologies that help buildings resist earthquakes:

1. The Levitating Foundation

2. Shock Absorbers
3. Pendulum Power
4. Replaceable Fuses
5. Rocking Core-wall
6. Seismic Invisibility Cloak
7. Shape Memory Alloys
8. Carbon-fibre Wrap
9. Biomaterials
10. Cardboard Tubes

 3.7 ANTI-TERMITE TREATMENT
Anti-termite treatment is a process in which soil treatment is applied to a building in
early stages of its construction. The purpose of anti-termite treatment is to provide
the building with a chemical barrier against the sub-terrain termites.

Anti-termite treatment in Civil Engineering:

Fig.11 Applying anti-termite coat

Sub-terrain termites are responsible for most of the termite damage in buildings. Typically,
they form nests or colonies underground. In the soil near ground level in a stump or other
suitable piece of timber in a conical or dome shaped mound. The termites find access to the
super-structure of the building either through the timber buried in the ground or by means of
mud shelter tubes constructed over unprotected foundations.

Termite control in existing as well as new building structures is very important as the damage
likely to be caused by the termites to wooden members of building and other household article
like furniture, clothing, stationery etc. is considerable. Anti-termite treatment can be either
during the time of construction i.e. pre-constructional chemical treatment or after the building
has been constructed i.e. treatment for existing building.

Prevention of the termite from reaching the super-structure of the building and its contents can
be achieved by creating a chemical barrier between the ground, from where the termites come
and other contents of the building which may form food for the termites. This is achieved by
treating the soil beneath the building and around the foundation with a suitable insecticide.

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, GSKSJTI Page 22

 The pre constructional soil treatment is required to be applied during the construction stages of
the sub-structure up to plinth level. It covers the soil treatment with approved chemicals in water
emulsion in foundation trenches for columns, plinth beams, plinth filling, at junction of walls
and floor, in expansion joints etc. in stages as per the specification (IS 6313 (part II) 2001).

In order to ensure uniform distribution of the chemical emulsion and to assist penetration proper
site preparation is essential.

The effectiveness of chemical depends upon the choice of the chemical, the dosage adopted and
the thoroughness of application. The chemical solutions or emulsions are required to be
dispersed uniformly in the soil and to the required strength so as to form an effective chemical
barrier which is lethal and repellent to termites.

The chemical emulsion should have to be applied uniformly by sprayers at the prescribed rates
in all the stages of the treatment. The treatment by the chemical emulsion varies from 5–7
litres/sqm depending on the surfaces being treated. Utmost care shall be taken to see that the
chemical barrier is complete and continuous. Each part of the area shall receive the prescribed
dosage of chemical emulsion.

Care should be taken in the application of chemicals / soil toxicants to see to see that they are not
allowed to contaminate wells or springs and other sources of drinking water.

Chemicals used:

Any one of the following chemicals in water emulsion to achieve the percentage concentration
specified against each chemical shall be used.

1. Chlorphriphos emulsifiable concentrate of 20%

2. Lindane emulsifiable concentrate of 20%

Anti-termite treatment chemical is available in concentrated form in the market and

concentration is indicated on the sealed containers. To achieve the specified percentage of
concentration, Chemical should be diluted with water in required quantity before it is used.
Graduated containers shall be used for dilution of chemical with water in the required proportion
to achieve the desired percentage of concentration. For example, to dilute chemical of 20%
concentration. 19 parts of water shall be added to one part of chemical for achieving 1%
concentration.

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, GSKSJTI Page 23

Safety Precautions.
Chemical used for anti-termite treatment are insecticides with a persistent action and are highly
poisonous. This chemical can have an adverse effect upon health when absorbed through the
skin, inhaled as vapours or spray mists or swallowed.
The containers having emulsifiable concentrates shall be clearly labelled and kept securely
closed in stores so that children or pet cannot get at them. Storage and mixing of concentrates
shall not be done near any fire source or flame. Persons using these chemical shall be warned
that absorption though skin is the most likely source of accidental poisoning. Particular care
shall be taken to prevent skin contact with concentrates and prolonged exposure to dilute
emulsion shall also be avoided. After handling the concentrates or dilute emulsion. Workers
shall wash themselves with soap and water and wear clean.
