PRE FABRICATION

meaning

To manufacture (a building or section of a


building, for example) in advance,
especially in standard sections that can be
easily shipped and assembled.

Precast concrete

• Precast Concrete is a construction product


produced by casting concrete in a reusable
mold or "form" which is then cured in a
controlled environment, transported to the
construction site and lifted into place. In
contrast, standard concrete is poured into site-
specific forms and cured on site.
• By producing precast concrete in a controlled environment
(typically referred to as a precast plant), the precast concrete
is afforded the opportunity to properly cure and be closely
monitored by plant employees.
• Utilizing a Precast Concrete system offers many potential
advantages over site casting of concrete.
• The production process for Precast Concrete is performed on
ground level which helps with safety throughout a project.
• There is a greater control of the quality of materials and
workmanship in a precast plant rather than on a construction
site.
• Financially, the forms used in a precast plant may be reused
hundreds to thousands of times before they have to be
replaced which allows cost of formwork per unit to be lower
than for site-cast production.

Prestressed concrete
• Prestressed concrete is a method for overcoming concrete
's natural weakness in tension.[1][2] It can be used to
produce beams, floors or bridges with a longer span than is
practical with ordinary reinforced concrete.
• Prestressing tendons (generally of high tensile steel cable
or rods) are used to provide a clamping load which
produces a compressive stress that offsets the
tensile stress that the concrete compression member
would otherwise experience due to a bending load.
• Traditional reinforced concrete is based on the use of steel
reinforcement bars, rebars, inside poured concrete.
Prestressed concrete
• Prestressing can be accomplished in three ways: pre-
tensioned concrete, and bonded or unbonded post-
tensioned concrete.
• Prestressed concrete is the predominating material for
floors in high-rise buildings and the entire containment
vessels of nuclear reactors.
• Unbonded post-tensioning tendons are commonly used in
parking garages as barrier cable.[3] Also, due to its ability to
be stressed and then de-stressed, it can be used to
temporarily repair a damaged building by holding up a
damaged wall or floor until permanent repairs can be made.
Advantages of prestressed concrete
• include crack control and lower construction costs;
• thinner slabs - especially important in high rise buildings in
which floor thickness savings can translate into additional
floors for the same (or lower) cost
• and fewer joints, since the distance that can be spanned by
post-tensioned slabs exceeds that of reinforced
constructions with the same thickness.
• Increasing span lengths increases the usable unencumbered
floorspace in buildings;
• diminishing the number of joints leads to lower
maintenance costs over the design life of a building, since
joints are the major focus of weakness in concrete buildings.
