Abstract - Old Structural Palaces are still standing on their
development of technology and we have been able to build buildings with modern facilities (Subramaniam S. R. 2016). If seen from the researcher's point of view, even today we have many questions in our mind, the present buildings are not very safe and durable, the modern buildings which are more than 50 years old start appearing in a dilapidated condition, whereas the structures of the buildings which are 400 years old are safe and strong. The technology and speed of construction has increased due to which construction work is being completed quickly in less time whereas the buildings and structures of 400 years ago used to take a lot of time and money (Rajesh N, 2017). What would have been the technology at that time, is there a basis for comparison between the present technology and the old technology, for this purpose the presented work has been done keeping this as the subject of the study (Subramaniam S. R. 2016). This study could help in understanding the material, construction method, technology, maintenance, safety and strength used in the construction of historical and modern buildings and structures and throw light on its cultural and historical importance.
own because of their construction technology and materials. Historical structures made in the Region of Rajasthan, withstood thousands of years despite the harsh climatic conditions, mainly due to their building materials and techniques of construction. Modern buildings structure and shopping malls are built to meet the needs of present time as they have become necessary in modern times. In modern structures the construction time have become significantly lower compared to historical structures. In Historical structure, “Sajjangarh” was chosen, which is the most popular and heritage building which is stated on Basundhra hills in Udaipur Rajasthan. It is the place of magic technologies with its structure. In modern structure,” Celebration shopping mall” was chosen, which is most popular building located at Bhuwana Udaipur Rajasthan. This research shows the different technology adopted for both structure to explore the strength and weakness with the advantages and disadvantages. Also included the comparison of materials, i.e; lime, cement, natural gum etc and describe the negative and positive impact of environment. The comparison of the technology used for construction was done in this research. In this research shows both structure differences between the utilization of mechanical and manual techniques and this comparison outcome shows the stability according to time and eco-friendly manner in both structures. Tests on universal Testing Machine was done for in situ determination of the strength of materials used for both the structures.
Historical structure means forts, temples, buildings, palaces, buildings, bridges and tunnels which are more than 400 years old and which still exist today. Whether those structures are made of stone, they still stand firm with their existence. The repair work of these structures is done as per that time only (M. Hegazy, 2014). There is something special about such buildings whose art of construction and method of maintenance are important to know today. Modern structures include buildings, temples, buildings, bridges and tunnels built in the last 100 years. Which are also maintained and repaired using modern methods (Subramaniam S. R. 2016). Modern structures are based on new technology and new building materials. Incorporation of architectural science is also seen in modern structures. The less space has also been utilized well. But in this the thickness of the walls has been reduced and maximum space has been utilized. The modern building is in frame based structure.
Key Words: Historical Structure, Modern structure, Construction materials, Technology, Strength.
1. INTRODUCTION During the era of king and people, safe and strong forts were built. Many grand temples and fort buildings came to the ground (Rajesh N, 2017). Many big empires were established in our country India and the buildings of that era still exist. These buildings which are our heritage are called historical structures. The present era is the era of modernity in which globalism has entered and we have learned the
