CE8022 Prefabricated Structures Syllabus:

CE8022 Prefabricated Structures Syllabus โ€“ Anna University Regulation 2017

OBJECTIVE:

  • To impart knowledge to students on modular construction, industrialised construction and design of prefabricated elements and construction methods.

UNIT I INTRODUCTION

Need for prefabrication โ€“ Principles of prefabrication โ€“ Modular coordination โ€“ Standarization โ€“ Materials โ€“ Systems โ€“ Production โ€“ Transportation โ€“ Erection.

UNIT II PREFABRICATED COMPONENTS

Behaviour and types of structural components โ€“ Large panel systems โ€“ roof and floor slabs โ€“ Walls panels โ€“ Beams โ€“ Columns โ€“ Shear walls

UNIT III DESIGN PRINCIPLES

Design philosophy- Design of cross section based on efficiency of material used โ€“ Problems in design because of joint flexibility โ€“ Allowance for joint deformation โ€“ Demountable precast concrete systems.

UNIT IV JOINTS AND CONNECTIONS IN STRUCTURAL MEMBERS

Types of Joints โ€“ based on action of forces โ€“ compression joints โ€“ shear joints โ€“ tension joints โ€“ based on function โ€“ construction, contraction, expansion. Design of expansion joints โ€“ Dimensions and detailing โ€“ Types of sealants โ€“ Types of structural connections โ€“ Beam to Column โ€“ Column to Column โ€“ Beam to Beam โ€“ Column to foundation.

UNIT V DESIGN FOR ABNORMAL LOADS

Progressive collapse โ€“ Codal provisions โ€“ Equivalent design loads for considering abnormal effects such as earthquakes, cyclones, etc., โ€“ Importance of avoidance of progressive collapse.
