ST4004 Prefabricated Structures Syllabus:

ST4004 Prefabricated Structures Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021

OBJECTIVE:

 To study the design principles, analysis and design of Prefabricated structures.

UNIT I DESIGN PRINCIPLES

General Civil Engineering requirements, specific requirements for planning and layout of prefabrication plant. IS Code specifications. Modular co-ordination, standardization, Disuniting of Prefabricates, production, transportation, erection, stages of loading and code provisions, safety factors, material properties, Deflection control.

UNIT II REINFORCED CONCRETE

Prefabricated structures – Long wall and cross-wall large panel buildings, one way and two way prefabricated slabs, Framed buildings with partial and curtain walls, -Connections – Beam to column and column to column.

UNIT III FLOORS, STAIRS AND ROOFS

Types of floor slabs, analysis and design example of cored and panel types and two-way systems, Design analysis for product manufacture, handling and erection, staircase slab, types of roof slabs and insulation requirements, Description of joints, their behaviour and reinforcement requirements, Deflection control for short term and long term loads, Ultimate strength calculations in shear and flexure.

UNIT IV WALLS

Types of wall panels, Blocks and large panels, Curtain, Partition and load bearing walls, Hoisting and placing, load transfer from floor to wall panels, vertical loads, Eccentricity and stability of wall panels, Design Curves, types of wall joints, their behaviour and design,Leak prevention, joint sealants, sandwich wall panels, Lateral load resistance, Location and types of shear walls, approximate design of shear walls.

UNIT V INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS AND SHELL ROOFS

Components of single-storey industrial sheds with crane gantry systems, R.C. Roof Trusses, Roof Panels, corbels and columns, wind bracing. Cylindrical, Folded plate and paraboloid shells, Erection and jointing of components in industrial buildings.

OUTCOMES:

On completion of the course, the student is expected to be able to
CO1 Explain the design principles involved in prefabrication
CO2 Detail the different types of connection
CO3 Design for stripping forces during manufacture
CO4 Determine the forces in shear walls
CO5 Identify the different roof trusses used in industrial buildings
