Contents
Prefabrication Structural precast systems; production, transport and erection; standards concerning prefabrication, bearing walls, skeletal systems, precast floors, corbels, stabilizing systems, connections Design of High-Tec composits Water impermeable concretes; fibre concretes and industrial floors, light weight concretes, ultra high strength concretes, reinforcing with laminates
Learning outcomes
Knowledge Getting well known with new construction materials and techniques, especially concerning concrete. Prefabrication is an idustrialized process with a large potential for the future. The construction industy requires a wide choice in the selection of building components. The seminar is intended to fill the gap by providing a detailed review of the subject. Application Application of basic knowledge of concrete materials to high strength concretes and concrete mixtures with additional capabilities. Application of these concretes in prefabrication. Abilities Transfer of research results into rules/codes for design. Modification of existing rules to materials with different or extended properties
Assessment
• Structural Analysis of a prefabricated basement (50%) • Oral presentation and discussion of results (50%)
