INTRODUCTION
"Prefab" is short for "prefabricated," which refers to
the process of manufacturing and assembling
components of a structure in a factory or controlled
environment, before transporting them to the
construction site for final assembly. Prefabrication is
a construction method that has gained popularity for
its efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability.
Prefabricated elements can range from simple panels
and modules to entire rooms or even entire buildings.
This method allows for greater precision in
construction, reduces on-site labor requirements, and
can result in faster project completion times. The use
of prefabrication has found applications in various
sectors including residential, commercial, and
industrial construction. It has also been employed in
the creation of temporary structures, like disaster
relief shelters, as well as in the development of more
permanent, high-quality buildings. Precast Concrete Walls

TYPE OF PRE CAST ELEMENTS
Two main types of precast concrete elements, namely precast reinforced
concrete elements and precast pre-stressed concrete elements are used as per
the details given below:
Precast reinforced concrete elements: These shall consist of
reinforcement bars and/or welded wire meshes within the elements to provide the
structural strength as per requirement of the component such as façade walls,
beams, columns, slabs, staircases and parapet wall.
Precast pre-stressed concrete elements: These shall consist of pre-
stressing tendons within the elements to provide a predetermined force needed to
resist external loadings and cracks such as hollow core slabs, beams and planks.
Sr. No. Precast Components Typical Sizes
1 Wall Panels Sizes of panels may vary
2 Hollow Core Slabs as per requirement
3 Beams
4 Staircase
5 Columns 4
PRE CAST INSTALLATION
Proper planning and preparatory works shall be required before the actual
installation of precast concrete elements in order to ensure quality installation.
The following items shall be planned in advance:
Method of sequence of assembly and installation: Precast elements should be
identified based on their location number and the tagged.
Method of providing temporary support: Elements should be supported
temporarily before these get stabilized. Generally structural members with
adjustable ends shall be used for securing the panels. Shims should be used
to adjust the panels to ensure dimensional correctness.
Installation tolerances: Installation tolerances should be based on codal
provisions and design considerations should be clearly indicated.
Handling and rigging requirements: Elements should be checked for handling
stresses before lifting and the cranes should have sufficient capacity to handle
the precast panels. At least 10% impact should be considered while
calculating the lifting capacity of the crane.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Structural Design Approach
The overall behavior of a precast
structure is dependent on the behavior
of the connections which must provide:
Resistance to all design forces.
Ductility in case of excessive
deformation.

SUMMARY
Precast construction Technology is a system
of casting concrete in a reusable mould or “form” which is then
treated in a controlled environment, conveyed to the
construction site and lifted to the place. Precast Construction
Technology consists of various precast elements such as walls,
beams, slabs, columns, staircase, landing and some customized
elements that are standardized and designed for stability, durability
and structural integrity of the building.
