Design considerations
Large-panel systems
Frame systems
Slab-column systems with walls
Mixed systems

1. Large-panel systems
Box-like structure
Both
vertical
and
horizontal elements are
load-bearing.
One-storey
high

panels (cross-wall system
/
longitudinal

system).
One-way or two way
slabs.

are
linear
on corbels of the
pillars usually with
hinged-joints
(rigid
connection is also an
option).
Joints are filled with

Lift-slab procedure
TYPES OF JOINTS
Typical joint system:
Dry joints with mechanical connectors generally
composed of angles, plates, channel bars,
anchors, fasteners, bolts, dowel bars including
joints completed in-situ with mortar for filling or fixing.
Emulative joint system:
Wet joints with rebar splices and cast-in-situ
concrete restoring the monolithic continuity proper
of cast-in-situ structures and leading usually to
moment-resisting unions.

Equipments
Cranes:
Mobile crane
Tower crane
(above 3 stories)
Lifting tools:
Spreader beams
Wire rope slings
Rigging tools:
Eye bolt
Shakles
Hooks

Advantages
Quick erection times
Possibility of conversion, disassembling
Limitations
Size of the units.
Location of window openings has a limited
variety.
Joint details are predefined.
Site access and storage capacity.
Require high quality control.
Enable interaction between design phase and
production planning.
Difficult to handling & transporting.

Scheduling
some approximate data for installation
Emplacement of hollow core floor slabs - 300
m2/day
Erection of pillars/columns - 8 pieces/day
Emplacement of beams - 15 pieces/day
Emplacement of double tee slabs - 25
pieces/day
Emplacement of walls - 15 pieces/day
Construction of stair and elevator shafts - 2
floors/day

Angeles, California.
The collapse most likely occurred due to a faulty connection.
The structure experienced displacements at each level that
that the parking garage did not meet code due to its lack on
continuity and poor ductility.

strengths.
Due to the low strength, it made the connections susceptible to failure
Conclusion
1. The use of prefabrication is almost doubled in the
last 15 years, increasing by 86%.
2. Reduce the amount of construction waste generated
on construction sites.
3. Reduce adverse environmental impact on sites.
4. Enhance quality control of concreting work
5. Reduce the amount of site labour and increase
worker safety .

Increased
transportation
difficulties,
greater
inflexibility, and more advanced procurement
requirements.
Connections-weakest link in structures and must be
designed with proper care and attention.
