 ABSTRACT

Though the precast concrete structural systems are being widely used worldwide, in India most
of the constructions are cast-in-situ concrete constructions. The tremendous growth of population
in India and limited space available has led to the demand for multistory residential buildings.
This demand can be satisfied by the utilization of factory made quality controlled precast units
that provides for faster construction leading to economy. Earthquakes are natural disasters which
have caused a lot of infrastructural damage and loss to human lives. In the past earthquakes, the
cost effective precast structural systems had not performed well. The failure of the precast
structures was attributed to the poor performance of connections.

The phrase 'off-site construction' refers to the completion of elements or components of a

construction project at a different location to where they will be permanently installed. Typically,
this can involve planning, design, fabrication and assembly in purpose-built off-site factories.
The completed item is then transported to site and assembled in place. Off-site locations may be
permanent manufacturing facilities, or 'flying factories', that is, temporary facilities that operate
for the duration of a project and then 'fly' to a new location to service another project. Off-site
construction is often referred to as 'prefabrication', 'off-site manufacture' or 'modern methods of
construction', and it may involve modular construction. It is most commonly concerned with
permanent structures rather than temporary or relocatable structures.
