Productivity Improvement of Pre-cast Concrete Installation

The production process of pre-cast concrete installation is analyzed to investigate possible ways for onsite productivity improvement. Although manufactured construction enjoys higher quality and productivity, it is observed that it suffers delays compared to site built construction. Delay causes and respective severity are analyzed for improvement. Firstly, the production process is investigat...

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...

Estimating the Strength of Concrete Using Surface Rebound Value and Design Parameters of Concrete Material

This study estimates the strength of concrete, an attempt is also made to increase the accuracy of Calculating the strength, using the nondestructive test (NDT) surface hardness rebound value, material design parameters and regression analysis. The strength of the concrete specimens was 130 480 kgf/cm, and their ages were 7 38 days. In total, 166 standard specimens of concrete were grouped into...

In-situ Cast Concrete Building Important Aspects of Industrialised Construction

In the ongoing research programme at Chalmers University of Technology, principles and methods for industrialised building with in-situ cast concrete are investigated. The goal is to increase the understanding of, and to develop methods and systems for, industrial building/construction. Improvement of in-situ concrete construction is necessary; partly in order to meet challenges from other mate...
