Abstract

The use of precast concrete technology is increasing day by day due to its easier installation technique, time saving and money saving benefits. Precast concrete construction is cheaper due to fewer labour. The difference between precast concrete construction and conventional construction is found by analyzing the materials and loading conditions. Outline of the study is to illustrate the process involved in the implication of precast concrete products in the construction industry and compare the same with conventional construction methods. It focuses on various issues related to it directly and indirectly. Various factors affecting the construction process are analyzed and addressed. The design involves identifying the loads which acts upon a structure and the forces and stresses which arise within that structure due to those loads. The design of precast concrete elements such as wall, column and beam are done using Tekla Tedds Software according to Eurocode 2 [1].
