AIMS &OBJECTIVES:
This course explains about design principles of Prefabricated Structures, components,
application of prefabricated structures. Students can learn the usage of prefabricated
structures in wall panels, industrial buildings and shell roofs.
UNIT I DESIGN PRINCIPLES
Prefabricated structures - Long wall and cross-wall large panel buildings- One way and two
way prefabricated slabs- Framed buildings with partial and curtain walls- Connections –
Beam to column and column to column
Types of floor slabs, analysis and design example of cored and panel - Staircase slab design,
types of roof slabs and insulation requirements- Description of joints, their behavior and
reinforcement requirements- Ultimate strength calculations in shear and flexure
UNIT IV WALL
Types of wall panels, Blocks and large panels, Curtain- Partition and load bearing walls, load
transfer from floor to wall panels- Design Curves, types of wall joints, their Behaviour and
design -Leak prevention, joint sealants, sandwich wall panels
Components of single-storey industrial sheds with crane gantry systems- R.C. Roof Trusses,
Roof Panels, corbels and columns- Cylindrical, Folded plate and hyper-prefabricated shells-
Erection and jointing, joint design, hand book based design
