Mangaluru, May 22: A project exhibition of Ogival Shell structure constructed by Thariq Aziz, an M.Tech student of Srinivas School of Engineering Mukka, was recently inaugurated by local MLA BA Mohiuddin Bava at Dakshina Kannada Nirmithi Kendra, Surathkal, here.

The eco friendly, low cost, bud' shaped pointed shell structure was constructed without using steel and concrete which can withstand all types of climatic conditions was executed under the advice of Dr. K S Jagadish, Professor Emeritus, IISc Bengaluru and under the guidance of Prof. Subramanya Bhat P of SSE Mukka.

tariq1Mr. Thariq Aziz welcomed the dignitaries and briefed about his M.Tech project. The pointed, the shell structure has about 30 feet perimeter, 9 feet height, and constructed by using 4 inch thick brick wall. The structure did not deform even after applying a load of 2,000 kg.

He said that by adopting this construction technique, around 30-40% basic construction materials can be saved which in turn help in conservation of energy. This type of structure can be constructed at religious places, tourism projects, resorts, rehabilitation and housing projects. Steering and tilting rod technology was developed and incorporated in this project which can rotate 360 degrees to maintain same radius at different levels which helps in maintaining bud' shaped pointed shell and also ease in construction.

Construction of bud' shape using concrete is a tedious job, since it includes sloping formwork and curved reinforcements. Hence the masonry construction of this nature can be a good alternate to RCC which bears good strength and also act as thermal insulator, he said.

Mr Mohiuddin Bava appreciated the project and said that this project is proved to be green construction as very less quantity of cement is consumed, and no steel and concrete. MLA assured that he will provide all necessary support and assistance from the state government to motivate the research attitude among students community of Srinivas School of Engineering.

Er Rajendra Kalbhavi – Project Director of DK Nirmithi Kendra; Dr. K S Babu Narayan – Coordinator of DK Nirmithi Kendra; Dr. Subhash Yaragal – Professor, Dept. of Civil Engg, NITK Surathkal; Dr. Shreeprakash B – Principal, Srinivas School of Engineering; Dr.Ramakrishna Hegde – Vice Principal; Prof. Subramanya Bhat P – Project Guide; Prof. Shrinath Rao K and Ms. Aneesha Thodthillaya of Srinivas School of Engineering; Er Sharat of DK Nirmithi Kendra; Mr. T Habeeb – Project Coordinator, Boskalis Westminister UK; Er Mohammed Shameer – Project Engineer, Saudi Oger Ltd. were present.

Thanks alot each and every one for your valuable comments and best wishes to me. Regarding the ogival shell it can be constructed to any diameter and height. It is not only feasible to construct in religious centers it can also be designed to a independent houses, restaurants, resorts, office, a coffee shop etc. And when it comes to having second floor we can construct a loft and make use of the ample space.

Mangaluru, Jan 15: A 28-year-old man, who is a first-year MBBS dropout, was arrested by the police after he posed as a doctor and treated patients at a private hospital at Derlakatte on the outskirts of the city.

The arrested has been identified as Mohammed Habib Hussain, a native of Shivamogga, who was residing in Attavar, Mangaluru. He had discontinued studies after the first year due to personal reasons.

The incident took place on Sunday night  at Yenepoya Medical College, Derlakatte. Dr Sampathila Padmanabha, medical superintendent, Yenepoya Medical College, said the accused had come to the medical college at midnight on December 29.

After speaking to the security guard at the hospital entrance, he introduced himself as an assistant to the consulting urologist, and wanted to visit patients at the private ward situated at floor number 7.

After entering, he called the duty nurse to get case sheets. Later, he examined two women patients in the presence of the duty nurse, and also wrote a prescription on the patient case sheet. He also yelled at a nurse, saying that she isn’t doing her duty properly, and left the place.

However, the nurse who grew suspicious, informed the management, after the accused had left the place. The management, who crosschecked about the accused, found out that he is not a doctor, and that he is also not associated with the hospital.

The management sent an advisory to all employees to produce their identity cards, whenever they enter any wards, especially at night, and also to keep an eye on anyone suspicious. The same message was passed on to other hospitals in the vicinity.

The accused again showed up at the hospital on Sunday night. As security guards were told about strangers visiting the hospital in the guise of doctors, he was allowed to enter the hospital premises, so that he can be apprehended. He later went to the reception counter and queried about the consultant urologist. When he noticed that the staff had an idea about what was happening, he tried to flee from the spot. He was later caught by a security guard, and the police were informed. He was arrested by Ullal police station personnel.

Dr Padmanabha added that he used to roam around with his friend in a car. He was also involved in a similar incident at a private hospital in Kankanady, and the same has been informed to the police. He visited hospitals in a car, which has been seized by police.
