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?
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
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
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😂😂😂😂
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.
@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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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
@@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
@@farmaanandaa mam, I'm trying to visualise.. so after waterproof coating, you make it fkat at the top and then put the tiles? Will it be possible to see a picture of the top after the tiles are installed? Thank you

What Materials are used to made these Special Bricks for Dome Construction Please Reply. Thank you Madam Ji
Hi! Can you please share the contact of the mason? It would have been wonderful if they do it in lime mortar. This type of roof is known as ladaav or ढलाव ki छत
@@ShankarDada010Are you making a joke too? All over the world, before the time of concrete floors and roofs, that’s how it was made to build floors on top.
actually my house is in rtk and ine one room we have this roof and i can say it has easily survived atleast 15-16 earthquake from the time it was built 🥱

This is Incredible ❤️
I also have seen construction like this in mexico
Universal wisdom!
madam can u share the price in rs/ sqft for this beautiful rohtak domes@nandaa
That looks beautiful
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?
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!

Thanks! We truly hope it doesn't weaken!
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.
@king000775 Yes, the lifespan of a cement structure is between 15 years and up to 100 years.

@@farmaanandaa thanks again, truly appreciate your effort, intent and kind gesture.
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.
Its a shallow dome. Domes dont collapse in an earthquake. The physics is such that it stands till the walls stand
How do you calculate the rise necessary based on the size of the room?
It's their trade secret!! They do it by instinct. No calculations involved
💯❤️
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 ??
This is laid with cement mortar, not lime.
Hi mam , any workshop regarding sustainable architecture and interiors ??
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
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.
You are doing pretty good job, keep it up
Thank you
Nice! Quite informative.
Glad you think so!
This is amazing thank you.
You're very welcome!
Upload videos on organic pesticides and fertilizer...
I really think there must be some sort of magic going on here! It seems impossible what they are doing 😮
Hahaha it does seem like that. We spent hours just observing them but not a brick fell out of place!
Really mam its great informative, mam it would be great if you mention your approx project cost
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
@@farmaanandaa can you please advice are you also providing service of developing complete site
Does this build any hairline cracks because of building settlement over time? What kind of waterproofing is done on top of this roof?
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.
Which type of chemical used with cement?
No chemical has been used. Its only cement.
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?
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
can it be built from CSEB or ISSB BRICKS?
Perhaps not.
Awesome…
Thank you! Cheers!
How do one get the electric connection, hook for the fan has been put, wiring?
The pipe for the fan is on top of the roof, and gets embedded in the water proofing and sloping layer.

Namaste Madam Ji,
Iam a Small Farmer from Andhra Pradesh. I want to ask 2 Questions related to Domes.
1. Can we build this Domes in Lime Mortar
2. Are these Bricks different than Normal Bricks. What Materials are used to made these Special Bricks for Dome Construction
Please Reply. Thank you Madam Ji
Hello, no the artisans who make these domes only work with cement. The bricks used are ordinary bricks.
Can we construct 1 st floor on ground floor rohtak dome roof?
Yes you can
Can Rohtak domes be used as slabs to go vertical?
Yes
I am from Rohtak, didn’t know about this speciality 😅
Hi! Can you please share the contact of the mason?
It would have been wonderful if they do it in lime mortar. This type of roof is known as ladaav or ढलाव ki छत
Hey the number is given in the description
Mam! What was your contract with them?
@@farmaanandaayour mobile number please
Any contact of team rohtak maam as we also want to make this type of roof at Aurangabad Maharashtra.
Pls see details in the description
Amazing... This technology should help building low cost housing, enabling millions of lndians to get a roof over their head.
Absolutely. It needs to be more widespread
Can these be plastered from the inside!
Why would you plaster this beautiful dome?
Why would you plaster this beautiful dome?
@@farmaanandaa TRUE, but people do have all types of preferences! What to do?
This is the brunelleschi dome technique 😎😊
That's completely different structure/dome
Please be more regular, we miss u
Are these types of roofs resistant to earthquakes?
Yes they are
What about gravitational force?
Well the roof holds itself up despite the gravitational force!
How is the outer shell finished?
With a plaster and reflective tiles
construction ppl are artists not workers
its not new tho is it. search catalan domes or arches
If course it's not new. It's just uncommon in India
It looks scary, what if roof fall down ,, how can we trust this, earth quick or other vibrations.,.
It's a time tested roof. Has been made and used for decades in the Rohtak area and now all over India
Can you build a house for me
I am.not an architect!
Can you share the contact number of the person whom we should contact if we want to build this
Detailed are given in the description
There is nothing magical or miraculous. Those technics have been use since the egyptians.
Absolutely. They look miraculous, but are rooted in physics.
i would not stand under this roof ,it looks scary ,it will fall down any time ,there is no support
Haha this is the physics of the construction. The bricks dont fall and the roof is very strong!
@@farmaanandaa i know that ,but i was just kidding with you to make you irritate ,but you don't 😅
In haryana lot of old building made by this method , its name is dat system
Can we stand on the top ?
@@ShankarDada010Are you making a joke too? All over the world, before the time of concrete floors and roofs, that’s how it was made to build floors on top.
Not safe at all
Been around for ages
@@farmaanandaa so are huts
And nothing unsafe about those either!
Mam hv you contruct any thing on this roof
just wait for an earthquake
Sure. Thanks for your good wishes
actually my house is in rtk and ine one room we have this roof and i can say it has easily survived atleast 15-16 earthquake from the time it was built
🥱
@@hardikgarg1858 what magnitude of earthquake was it?
Just curious..
@@rujalmanandhar1428 dont know never checked the magnitude you can check on google it has survived all rohtak earthquake of last 30-35 years
