Unit 2

1. Pre Fabrication System

Advantages and Disadvantages of Prefabrication system -Terms defined : prefabricated building, module, composite members, modular co-ordination, system; – Basic module -planning modules grid – modules in horizontal plane for residential buildings and industrial buildings – other consideration – Module for components:- flooring scheme, Beams, columns, walls; Staircase,- lintel, sunshade – Tolerance on dimensions:- length, cross sectional dimension, straightness, squareness, twist, flatness

2. Pre Fabrication Methods

Characteristics to be considered in devising a system – Types of pre fabricated building – load bearing wall type – frame type; Design considerations – bearing for pre cast units, joints; Requirements of an ideal structural joint – manufacture of precast concrete elements- place – process – main, auxiliary and subsidiary process; Stages of pre-casting -preparation and storage of materials – moulding and curing; Pre fabrication methods: individual method, battery form method, tilting mould method , Flow line production methodextension method – Handling during transport and storage -Handling arrangement – Transport – inside the factory -stacking yard to erection site, Erection works to be carried out – Equipment required
