A STUDY OF RURAL SETTLEMENT – AMOOR VILLAGE
Background: Rural development is necessary not only
because the over whelming majority of the country’s
population lives in villages but also because the
development of rural activities is essential to accelerate the
place of overall economic development of the country. The
primary task is to migrate the hunger of about 70% of the
population to provide adequate clothing, a clean house and
clean environment, medical care, recreational facility,
education, transport and communication.The growth rate of
these basic needs has been growing at an average annual
growth rate of 3, 4% between 1951 and 1981. There is much
evidence to show that public interest in rural development
is growing rapidly to carry the benefits of development of
India’s 5,75,000 villages and improving their living
standards, particularly of those living below poverty line.
About Amoor Village:

A STUDY OF URBAN SETTLEMENT – LITTLE MOUNT
Background: An urban area is a location characterized by
high human population density and vast human-built
features in comparison to the areas surrounding it. Urban
areas may be cities, towns or conurbations, but the term is
not commonly extended to rural settlements such as
villages and hamlets. Movement in urban settlements is
typically available due to presence of an elaborate transport
system of taxis, buses and trains. People and goods can be
transported easily without incurring high transportation
costs. Urban settlements are home to job opportunities in
different industries and offices. Wages in urban settlements
are higher than in rural areas, which attracts many people
to towns. Employment in urban settlements is
complemented by affordable housing services in towns.
Urban settlement attracts diversified groups looking for
employment and social services. This diversity leads to
exchange of cultural ideas and beliefs. This study was
mainly conducted to understand the urban characteristics
and how to make them more effectively.
About LITTLEMOUNT

DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR HOSUR
Background: Any town has to perform as an engine for
growth to its surrounding areas. It has the pressure to
function and perform at higher levels in all spheres of
activity. A Development Plan aims at elevating the town to
such level by assessing the needs and issues and providing
strategies for developments and proposals for the same.
The context of a Development plan is basically an idea to
prepare a medium plan for a medium urban settlement. It is
a policy document that sets out policies and reforms for the
optimum use of resources in the Planning area.
As a part of II semester, Planning Project II, the
Development Plan for HOSUR – 2014 to 2034 is prepared.
Generally, the Development Plan is prepared for a plan
period of 20 years. In this case, 2031 is taken as the cut off,
as it is the census year for projection of population and
other requirements

DISSERTATION – COMPACT CITY [HIGH DENSITY WITH
MIXED USES
Background: A compact city is an currently emerged urban
planning concept . Promotes relatively High density with
mixing of various activities. It provide required infrastructure
facilities with in the walkable distance. It is otherwise called
as “City of Short distance”
Compact City – View of Authors
Elkin (1991) said Compact city is the “Intensification of
the use of space in the city with higher residential
densities and centralisation”
Newman and Kenworthy(1989) said “More intensive
land use, Centralised activities and higher densities”
Breheny (in Blowers, 1993) said “High density, mixed use
city, where growth is encouraged within the boundaries
of existing urban areas , but with no development
beyond its periphery”
General characteristics of compact city
Efficient usage of scarce land
Reduces travel time between office and home
Low wastage of precious sub-urban agricultural land
Saving in per-capita infrastructure spending
Lower per capita pollution
Enables faster execution of planned development
Integrated approach to solve the social problems arose

Why we need Compact City?? Components – Compact City
Objectives
Various concepts involved in the compact urban form.
Effectiveness of mixing of activities to achieve the high
density.
To assess the applicability of compact city concept in
Indian context
High density with mixed land uses.
Interconnection of streets and transport corridors with a
focus on pedestrian, bicycle and public transport
oriented planning.

2. Compact city planning along the LRTS corridor in London
Inferences
The intensification and development along the
transit corridor is the major strategy
To make a city with higher density with high rise
and mixed uses they go for sky scrapers and
verticality.
Transportation plays an important role.
The urban compact form of Hong Kong mainly
reduce the ¼ to of the travel time.
Intermingling of functions mainly based on the site
characteristics and potentials.
Through urban densification they achieved the
maximum density of 9,600 habitants per Sq.Km and
2,048 families per Sq.Km.
CASE STUDIES
1. Compact High density development in Hong Kong, China
Mei Fu Shan Chuen city development Hong Kong, China
Metro-City Residential Development, Tseng Kwan O,
Hong Kong, China
Inferences
In London they integrate urban areas, Through urban
renaissance and intensification they achieved high
density in the core areas by intermingling of activities
Transportation plays an important role in the
intensification process
(E.g.) Barbican in London has a land area of 22.4 ha, 16
ha of which is residential, accommodating 6,500 persons.
The gross density is 290 persons per ha, and the net
density is 406 persons per ha. And also they created
6500 new jobs. These developments are well connected
by the public mode of transportation.
26
A. ROBERT CHRISTOFERURBAN PLANNER | CIVIL ENGINEER PORTFOLIO
M.PLAN – URBAN PLANNING [2013 – 2015]
In this conceptual plan the transportation(LRTS)
plays an important role to make the city as more
compact. Along LRTS corridor they have identified
certain nodes.
These nodes are either stop or stations. Around
the nodes they brought the compact development by
declaring some zonal regulations.
3. Compact city policies Amsterdam, Netherland
Inferences
Urban densification process effectively done in that area
through clustered development. The commonly adopted
strategies are
Along public transport truck routes in order to support
public transport thresholds
In and around urban nodes and modal interchanges/public
transit stops
On the periphery of open spaces to increase surveillance
Within areas of focused high private-sector investments
Transportation play a vital role in the city development.
Mixing of activities done after analysing the site
characteristics.
Through densified clustered development results maximum
population density of 400 to 500 persons per hectare and
75 to 100 dwelling units per hectare.

Inferences
Urban densification process effectively done.
Transportation play a vital role in the city development.
Mixing of activities done after analysing the site
characteristics.
Increasing Floor Area Ratio maximum 6 around the
transit nodes is the one option for densifying an urban
settlements.
Through densification they have achieved a maximum
density.
Effective utilisation of existing infrastructure facilities.
5. Compact high density development, Ahmedabad, India
Jammarg Bus Rapid Transit
system was introduced in the
year 2009 span of 220
kilometres
Phase I--45 kms
Phase II--currently under
construction, adds another
58.0 kms.
Phase III proposes adding an
additional 40.2 kilometres.
Daily ridership increased by a
factor of 10 in two years, from
13,000 in October 2009 to
135,000 in November 2011
28
A. ROBERT CHRISTOFERURBAN PLANNER | CIVIL ENGINEER PORTFOLIO
M.PLAN – URBAN PLANNING [2013 – 2015]
Naturally Ahmedabad has compact structure.
The AUDA decided to intensify in and around the nodes.
Minimum lot size of 1500m to 2500m
100m of the road is zoned as high intensity
development zone with FSI 4,
Up to 250m is also intensification zone with FSI 3
Rest of the city to get FSI 2.75
Applicability in Indian Context
India is one of the fast developing countries in the world.
It has about 18% of the world’s population.
Vast growth of existing metropolitan cities results
scattered developments(e.g.)Bangalore, Chennai,
Mumbai etc.,
Resulted in lack of matching infrastructure, large share of
slums in cities, traffic congestion, and disparities in
access to urban services, lack of land availability,
pollution and degraded natural environment in cities
So Compact urban development is the best solution to
meet growing housing demand
Conclusion
It is safe to say that the future of India lies in its cities.
especially Smaller cities can adopt compact cities from
scratch and restrict urban sprawl so as to control
environment and ecological degradation
Strong political will and support from citizens is also the
integral to the success of compact cities.
The Government should also encourage it.
The major step toward achieving this is by directing the
policies for growth
Best of the Best: We may understand and adopt,
Development control & Management of facilities.
Re Engineering required: Social Inclusiveness, Policies,
Regulations Marketing the approach itself.

Main Project – MIX DESIGN & CHARACTERISTICS STUDY OF HYDROPHOBIC CEMENT & CONCRETE
Background:The major challenges facing the civil structure aredefect free. structures which are storing the water are affectedby the intrusion of water and reduce its strength & durability. Inthis study we are mainly using the water resisting Admixturesotherwise called as Hydrophobic agents. Boric acid, Stearic acid,oleic acid is the most commonly used hydrophobic agents in theconcrete structures.
Objectives: To study the characteristic behavior of hydrophobic agents
like compressive strength, absorption of water, workability from flow table & slump cone experiments etc.,
To assess the water resistance and friction reduction behavior
To examine strength parameter of hydrophobic agents by the way of mix designing of various grades of concrete.
To study the application of hydrophobic concrete To improve the characteristics of the hydrophobic concrete
Oleic Acid
Stearic Acid
METHODOLOGY
Mixing percentage used for the production of hydrophobic cement is 0.1% to 0.4% of Combination Hydrophobic agents per weight of the OPC 43 Grade cement.
As per IS:8043-1991 provision for the Hydrophobic cement are 10g to 15 g per 1Kg of OPC.
OPC-1Kg
OLEIC ACID-3.5gm

CONCLUSION
The compressive strength of HPC Concrete(1.05 x
compressive strength of OPC concrete) at 28 days
obtained was satisfying the minimum requirements
The mix ratios of M40--1:1.57:2.95 & M50--1:1.24:2.33
can be used for PCC & RCC.
Water Absorption (OPC) > Water Absorption (HPC)
Hydrophobic concrete are mainly acts as the corrosion
resisting concrete, and it can be used as a Corrosion
in-hibitors and making damp proof structures.
They have taking long period for its initial setting so the
concrete has lower difficulty for its transportation and
its placing.
