Precast Concrete Elements
Lattice-girder floor slabs and double-wall elements have been successfully used in building and industrial construction for decades. These precast elements of 50 – 70 mm thickness serve as permanent formwork for the subsequently added in-situ concrete creating a monolithic structure. The high prefabrication level allows the construction period to be significantly minimized. The main goal is the...
متن کاملLean production, value chain and sustainability in precast concrete factory – a case study in Singapore
Research Question: Is the lean production philosophy applicable in precast concrete factories to achieve sustainability? If it is, what are the imperfections that can be improved to achieve sustainability? Purpose: This study aims to identify the contribution of the lean concept to achieve sustainability in precast concrete factories. By using appropriate lean principles, the precast concrete i...
متن کاملFoam Concrete Precast Elements in Composite Concrete-GFRP Plate Girders
This paper is focused on using foam concrete as structural element in polymer-concrete composite plate girders. Trial mixes of foam concrete and different proportions of foam agent were considered to obtain the suitable mix that can be used as structural element in composite girders system. Details of the experimental investigations on foam concrete precast slabs and polymer-concrete composite ...
متن کاملRisk management project for work with precast concrete shells.
This paper describes a project with the aim of reducing the risk of injury when using precast concrete shells in the Swedish construction industry by identifying injury risks, developing and implementing solutions. An interactive research approach was used. Three major injury risks were identified and a system consisting of three tools and a handbook was developed, evaluated, and implemented at...
متن کاملUtilizing Radio Frequency Identification on Precast Concrete Components – Supplier’s Perspective
Precast concrete material suppliers are responsible for the components that they manufacture from casting until up to 25 years after installation. To effectively manage the production and storage at a the production facility, to streamline the construction process and to quickly repair a component should there be a problem, information about components must be readily available and updated thro...
