PRECAST CONSTRUCTION

INTRODUCTION
 Precast Concrete is a construction product
produced by casting concrete in a reusable
mold or "form" which is then cured in a
controlled environment, transported to the
construction site and lifted into place. In
contrast, standard concrete is poured into
site-specific forms and cured on site.
 also known as "prefabricated“
 produced in plants in a location away from
the construction site
 These components are manufactured by
industrial methods based on mass
production in order to build a large number
of buildings in a short time at low cost.
PRE-CAST CONCRETE PRODUCTS
 Precast concrete building
components and site amenities
 Earth retaining systems
 Sanitary and Storm water
management products
 Precast concrete transportation
products
 Marine Products
 Pre-stressed / Structural Products
ADVANTAGES
 Concrete is cast off site
 Identical forms can used several times
 Batter quality control
 Control on curing
 Un affected by weather , when casting
 Construction in less time
 Less cost
 Waste materials can be used
( fly ash)
 Fire resistant
 Can avoid air born pollution on site
( dusting )
DISADVANTAGES
 Costlier for small projects
 Required skilled workers
 Transportation is costly of large members for
small projects.
 It’s required to be design and detailed for
transportation, erection.
 Required different site for its production
PRECAST IN BUILDING
 A whole building can be construct.
 Precast beams, columns, footings,
floors, roofs, walls and stairs
 Erection on site with care
 Depending on the load-bearing
structure, Precast buildings by former
Soviet Union and Eastern European
countries can be divided into the
following categories:
· Large-panel systems
· Frame systems
· Slab-column systems
LARGE-PANEL SYSTEMS
 "large-panel system“ composed of large
wall and floor concrete panels connected
in the vertical and horizontal.
 Panels form a box-like structure .
 Both vertical and horizontal panels resist
gravity load.
 Wall panels are usually one story high.
Horizontal floor and roof panels span
either as one-way or two-way slabs.
 When properly joined together, these
horizontal elements act as diaphragms
that transfer the lateral loads to the walls.
LARGE-PANEL SYSTEMS
LARGE-PANEL SYSTEMS
FRAME SYSTEMS
 Precast frames can be constructed using either linear elements or spatial beam-column
sub-assemblages.
 The connecting faces are at the beam-column junctions.
 The beams can be seated on corbels at the columns, for ease of construction.
 To aid the shear transfer from the beam to the column. The beam-column joints
accomplished in this way are hinged.
 However, rigid beam-column connections are used in some cases, when the continuity
of longitudinal reinforcement through the beam-column joint needs to be ensured.
FRAME SYSTEMS
CONNECTIONS-COLUMN TO BASE

CONNECTIONS-SLAB TO BEAM
CONNECTIONS-COLUMN TO BEAM
SLAB-COLUMN SYSTEM WITH
SHEAR WALL
 These systems rely on shear walls to sustain lateral load effects, whereas the slab-
column structure resists mainly gravity loads.
 Pre-stressed slab-column system were introduced in the last decade of the Soviet
Union (period 1980)
 Reinforced concrete slabs are poured on the ground in forms.
 The slab panels are lifted to the top of the column and then moved downwards to the
final position. Temporary supports are used to keep the slabs in the position until the
connection with the columns has been achieved.
 In the connections, the steel bars (dowels) that project from the edges of the slabs are
welded to the dowels of the adjacent components and transverse reinforcement bars
are installed in place. The connections are then filled with concrete that is poured at
the site.
 Most buildings of this type have some kind of lateral load-resisting elements, mainly
consisting of cast-in-place or precast shear walls

SHEAR WALL
CARE TO TAKE DURING CASTING

 Good formwork to be used


 Lubricant should be applied to forms
 Quality concrete to be used
 Suitable method of vibration should be used
 Water for Curing should be good
 Steam curing can be use for mass production, if cost is available
CARE TO TAKE AT PLANT
 Once a piece has been fabricated, it is
necessary to remove it from the mold without
being damaged.
 Breakaway forms should be used to allow a
member to lift away from the casting bed
without becoming wedged within the form
 Orientation of members during storage,
shipping and final in-place position is critical
 Sand bed will help protect edge
 Tilt tables or turning rigs are used to reduce
stripping stresses
 Warpage in storage may be caused by
 temperature or shrinkage differential
between surfaces
 creep
 The member should be oriented in the yard
so that the sun does not overheat one side
CARE TO TAKE DURING
TRANSPORTATION
 The loads and forces on precast and
pre-stressed concrete members
during production, transportation or
erection will frequently require a
separate analysis
 Support points and orientation are
usually different from members in
their final position
 it may be necessary to cast in extra
lifting devices to facilitate these
maneuvers.
 The number and location of lifting
devices are chosen to keep stresses
within the allowable limits
 special handling required by the
design should be clearly shown on
drawings
