Types of RC Prefabricated Structures:
Long wall and cross wall large panel buildings- One way and two way prefabricated slabs - Framed buildings with partial and curtain walls, single storey industrial buildings with trusses and shells - Crane – Gantry systems.
Functional Design Principles:
Modular coordination – Standardization - Disuniting, Diversity of prefabricates – Production – Transportation – Erection - Stages of loading and codal provisions Safety factors - Material properties - Deflection control - Lateral load resistance - Location and types of shear walls.
Floors, Stairs and Roofs:
Types of floor slabs – Methods of Analysis and design example of cored and panel types and two-way systems - Staircase slab design - Types of roof slabs and insulation requirements - Description of joints, behavior and requirements - Deflection control for short term and long term loads - Ultimate strength calculations in shear and flexure.
Walls:
Types of wall panels - Blocks of large panels – Curtain partition and load bearing walls Load transfer from floor to wall panels – Vertical loads Eccentricity and stability of wall panels –Use of Design curves -Types of wall joints, their behavior and design – Leak prevention, Joint sealents, sandwich wall panels.
Industrial Buildings:
Components of single storey industrial sheds with crane gantry systems - Design aspects of R.C. Roof Trusses - Roof panels R.C. Crane - Gantry Girders - Corbels and columns and Wind bracing.
