Precast Members - Systems & Construction

Program Description

This unique course provides the practical aspects of precast building design starting from the selection of the appropriate structural system considering design criteria at various stages, calculation of different loads & load combination in the building, modelling, analysis and design of large panel, frame systems, detailing of elements and the design of associated connections. The course also explains the plant production process, moulding & casting, curing, storage, transportation, handling, erection and quality inspection of precast elements.

Objectives:

  • To impart concepts of precast concrete building design
  • To comprehend various aspects like selection and planning of structural system and its components, significance, plant and production methods, transportation & erection sequence of precast elements
  • To evaluate actual loads, integrating architectural and services requirements, structural modelling & analysis
  • To design precast building using software
