Precast Elements

The course on Precast Elements provides a comprehensive overview of precast concrete technology, highlighting its advantages over traditional cast-in-situ methods. It covers the fundamental concepts, major components, and structural systems used in precast construction, emphasizing its applications in residential, commercial, and industrial projects. Participants will learn about the classification, types, and erection of beams, slabs, columns, and walls, as well as the use of precast elements in infrastructure works.

The course also addresses guidelines for selecting precast elements for different building types and explores the principles of structural stability and behavior, preparing learners to effectively implement precast solutions in various construction scenarios. Target Learners: Undergraduate students of Civil Engineering Post-Graduate Students of Geotechnical Engineering Practicing Engineers in Pile Construction based projects. Faculties of Civil Engineering Domain Pre-requisites: Analytical skill for determinate & indeterminate structures and design knowledge of reinforced concrete members Exposure to codes and standards (Indian standard codes for concrete, wind and earthquake design)
