Modular Construction: The Future of the Construction Industry
Popularly known as prefabrication (or prefab), modular construction is a mechanism in which the building is constructed in a factory environment under controlled conditions, with required design codes and standards, which are later assembled on site. The facility is constructed ...
Post Tension Slab – Working Principle, Components and Construction
Post tension slab is a combination of conventional slab reinforcement and additional protruding high-strength steel tendons, which are consequently subjected to tension after the concrete has set. This hybridisation helps achieve the formation of a much thinner slab with a ...
Comparison of Pre-Engineered with Conventional Steel Buildings
Pre-Engineered buildings are being preferred over conventional buildings for industrial construction due to its fast construction. Following is the comparison between Pre-Engineered building and Conventional Buildings for steel structures, which shows advantages of pre-engineered buildings over conventional buildings. What are ...
FOUNDATIONS & ANCHORAGE FOR PRE-ENGINEERED BUILDING
Foundation design and construction for Pre-Engineered Buildings are important to the assembly process. To ensure optimum integrity of new building, the foundation must meet certain design criteria and load conditions. It is required that all building foundations be designed by ...
ADVANTAGES OF PRE-ENGINEERED BUILDING SYSTEMS
There are many advantages of pre-engineered building systems, but all advantages lead to reduced construction time. Following are advantages of Pre-Engineered Building Systems: Reduced Construction Time: Due to the systems approach, the use of high strength steel, use of tapered ...
