Advantages of Large Strands in Precast/Prestressed Concrete Highway Application
The objective of this research is to investigate the advantages of using large-diameter 0.7 inch prestressing strands in pretention applications. The advantages of large-diameter strands are mainly beneficial in the heavy construction applications. Bridges and tunnels are subjected to a higher daily traffic with an exponential increase in trucks ultimate weight, which raise the demand for highe...
متن کاملAdvantages and Limitations of Precast Concrete Construction in High-rise Buildings: Hong Kong Case Studies
The Hong Kong construction industry heavily relies on conventional cast insitu construction involving extensive use of wet trades and on-site construction processes. The construction activities have been described as “labour intensive, dangerous and polluting”. Recently, the use of prefabrication has increased in the building industry. This paper presents the preliminary findings of an ongoing ...

متن کاملEffects of Half-Precast Concrete Slab System on Construction Productivity
A half-precast concrete slab system (HPCSS) is reported to exhibit excellent structural performance when compared with traditional slab systems. However, there is a lack of extant research examining the construction issues of an HPCSS. Thus, in this study, we analyze the construction process and productivity of applying an HPCSS by using a simulation method with the data collected from an actua...
متن کاملAn Integrated Construction Management System for Site Precast Concrete
In order to manage site precast concrete construction which has been increasing, an integrated construction management system employing a unique 3-D modelling method and analogue process input method was developed. At the planning stage, the system supports interactive planning between member configuration and installation planning by a visual method and with an accurate quantity. At the proces...
