How to Make a Rohtak Dome Roof

[@urvashirathee6395]

I've been born and brought up in Rohtak, but had not heard about this concept or team until I saw this video. Thanks for sharing such interesting and useful information.

[@bogdandread9469]

a snail shell, nature is inspiring

[@farmaanandaa]

Absolutely!

[@riturajbordoloi7632]

Mind blowing..

[@ankitakashyap4433]

This is Incredible ❤️

[@Enriquecervantes28]

That looks beautiful

[@Blspeek-ag]

I also have seen construction like this in mexico

[@farmaanandaa]

Universal wisdom!

[@sagaronline265]

madam can u share the price in rs/ sqft for this beautiful rohtak domes@nandaa

[@ravindersaharan4058]

बहुत ही शानदार कला है यह इसमें लोहे का प्रयोग बिल्कुल नहीं होता इस प्रकार की छत की उम्र आरसीसी के बराबर या उससे अधिक परंतु इस कला को जानने वाले मिस्त्री बहुत कम बचे हुए हैं और नई जनरेशन के बच्चे यह सीखने की कोशिश ही नहीं कर रहे यदि इंजीनियरिंग कॉलेज की बुक्स में यह टेक्नोलॉजी भी पढ़ाई जाए तो यह तकनीक हमेशा हमेशा जिंदा रहेगी और सिविल इंजीनियरिंग के छात्र छात्राओं को एक अच्छा क्रिएटिव टॉपिक भी प्राप्त

[@swatantrakalra257]

This is simply amazing. I have few questions, Can this roof be useful in hill areas like Kdoaikanal where the average temp is 20 degree c in the day and around 5 degree in the night. There are no fans here. Thanks

[@farmaanandaa]

Pls check with Narayanji. His number is given in the description

[@midhunca6092]

traditional methods needs promotion. thanks dii :) for sharing the contact details of narayanji.

[@sagaronline265]

salute for this dome family.gr8 inheritance from their ancestors worth a million. just one question though,how much weight ,load such rohtak dome can withstand? can robbers,thieves will find it difficult breaking inside house tru this dome,just my curiosity?

[@farmaanandaa]

You can build another room on top of this and even place a water tank। So it can bear a lot of load, and no robbers cannot simply break it to enter!

[@sagaronline265]

thanks madam 4 replying.yeah nice to know that these are not just beautiful domes but strong as well. one day ill have these magical domes on my new house god willing.india i believe had many brilliant ancient architecture marvel designs which we lost with time. these domes are just one of them.just these domes make you feel like u are a part of some royal palace.@@farmaanandaa

[@RohitBhardwaj1234]

Nice! Quite informative.

[@farmaanandaa]

Glad you think so!

[@angellkiller9773]

Thats a very good mortar ...im personally cursed 😂 my mortar is too too strong i made a 4 cinder block wall to sit a stove edge on once and brushed on a mortor cover with green pigment over a cement floor. 4 years later me and two other guys had to remoe it. Now im a big guy ive removed driveways by myself with a sledgehammer and pickaxe.... But we whacked at these 4 blocks for more than 40 minutes a couple chunks fell out of the brakes but normally the hammer would just make an indentation. At the very end it fell down as a solid thing ripping chunks out of the cement floor and the wall but we were hitting a pass a foot away from each of them. Lol lol. Later I put a small thing around our outside spiral staircase of adobe cement it was so hard when we had to rip up the sidewalk I took out and 6 to 10 ft chunks but that little thing of adobe I let the other contractors dig out and watch the guy beat at a 2-inch thick slab of adobe cement for more than a half hour. About lost it it was only 4 ft by 4 ft... But what happened was that every time he hit it with any of his tools it would simply make a small indentation of the tool😂😂😂😂

Hi mam , any workshop regarding sustainable architecture and interiors ??

[@farmaanandaa]

No workshop but we do a house tour for those interested in building a sustainable house. Check it out on www.aanandaa.com/house-tour

[@Kalamerys]

How do you calculate the rise necessary based on the size of the room?

[@farmaanandaa]

It's their trade secret!! They do it by instinct. No calculations involved

[@dhillonnaturals]

You are doing pretty good job, keep it up

[@farmaanandaa]

Thank you

[@malik51973]

Hi,hw are you,nice vedio,they use lime mortar for laying bricks??wht is is ratio of morter material like lime and sand or clay ??

[@farmaanandaa]

This is laid with cement mortar, not lime.

[@nchaachu]

Mam, How can a roof without reinforcement that actually bonds and strengthens the material for load bearing? Also, not sure of it’s strength to withstand earthquake.

[@farmaanandaa]

Its a shallow dome. Domes dont collapse in an earthquake. The physics is such that it stands till the walls stand

[@vinwilder707]

Great video. Was missing these. Although the concept itself is sustainable and should last long, since you have used cement instead of lime, it may form cracks over a period of time, just like any other cement structure.

[@farmaanandaa]

Thanks! We truly hope it doesn't weaken!

[@king000775]

Yeah, but a cement structure can long last atleast 70 years minimum. In Europe you could see WW2 cement bunkers, still those in good structure.

[@vinwilder707]

@king000775 Yes, the lifespan of a cement structure is between 15 years and up to 100 years. After 15 years, it may start to form hairline fractures that need to be filled in however the maximum life is 100 years after which it needs to be brought down. You can see these cracks in all the apartment buildings in the city that are more than 15-20 years. However the structures made out of lime last hundreds of year. The examples can be seen in Great Wall of China, all the forts and palaces in India, which all were built using Lime. Plus the bunkers you are talking about is at least 3 to 4 feet thick concrete, and we don't use such heavy concrete when building homes.

[@holgermessner851]

In the Great Wall of China, they used in some years rice flour mixed into the lime mix - as we know it took hundreds of years to build. It still stands.

[@SarbbottamBandyopadhyay]

Thanks for this informational videos that you are sharing. I am curious how is the electrical connection laid out. Also another question could the top of the dome be made flat for the upper floor's floor?

[@farmaanandaa]

The electrical pipes run over the brickwork and under the finishing tile layer. Rohtak dome is quite flat and after leveling the roof, another floor can be built

[@SarbbottamBandyopadhyay]

@@farmaanandaa thanks again, truly appreciate your effort, intent and kind gesture.

I really think there must be some sort of magic going on here! It seems impossible what they are doing 😮

[@loksapps5455]

Really mam its great informative, mam it would be great if you mention your approx project cost

[@farmaanandaa]

Not sure how that will help you. If you are interested in building a dome, you can just check with Narayanji who will give you a quote for your project. His details are given in the description

[@fbsfarm9910]

This is amazing thank you.

[@farmaanandaa]

You're very welcome!

[@RodneyScobee]

These bricks are extremely absorbent along with right mixture of clay and cement.they stick together very quickly. This helps to hold the brick, along with the arc.

[@prasathragavan]

Does this build any hairline cracks because of building settlement over time? What kind of waterproofing is done on top of this roof?

[@farmaanandaa]

Would be best to discuss the technicalities with Narayan ji whose details are given in the video. On top of the brick work there is a layer of brickbats for slopes, plaster, waterproofing chemical and reflective tiles.

[@Jk-123-]

Please be more regular, we miss u

[@jjsaj7938]

can it be built from CSEB or ISSB BRICKS?

[@farmaanandaa]

Perhaps not.

[@kiranm25x]

Great concept, but would like to know more how it'll hold up against tensional load and wall compression force without any supporting member! What would be rated Max load capacity above the roof and can it act as load bearing for multi-storey construction?

[@farmaanandaa]

Feel free to call Narayanji for more information. We know it can take a water tank and a solar water heater on top of it. So load bearing capacity is quite good

[@karunakara3513]

Which type of chemical used with cement?

[@farmaanandaa]

No chemical has been used. Its only cement.

[@gkarjun]

How do one get the electric connection, hook for the fan has been put, wiring?

[@farmaanandaa]

The pipe for the fan is on top of the roof, and gets embedded in the water proofing and sloping layer.

[@KodigantiUrvi]

Can Rohtak domes be used as slabs to go vertical?

[@farmaanandaa]

Yes

[@king000775]

Hi mam, a question what kind of whether product do you using on this top of the structure? definitely we cannot leave as it is on the Rohtak roof, since red bricks do allow the rain water.

[@farmaanandaa]

Hi, watwr proofing is done the standard way. After a layer of coement mortar, we applied a water proofing coat, then used brickbats to make the slopes for water drainage and finally put tiles over it grouted with cement

[@king000775]

@@farmaanandaa great, I thought a 2 inch shell concrete with 6mm wire may need prior to weathering course. From your reply came to know that the concrete shell is not required, great explanation. Thanks mam
