RCC STRUCTURES
Reinforced concrete is concrete in which reinforcement bars ("rebars") or fibers have been incorporated to strengthen the material that would otherwise be brittle
Concrete Mix
Tied Rebar
History
The use of reinforced concrete is a relatively recent invention, usually dated to 1848 when jean-Louis Lambot became the first to use it Joseph Monier, a French gardener, patented a design for reinforced garden tubs in 1868, and later patented reinforced concrete beams and posts for railway and road guardrails
Precast Concrete
"Precast concrete" means a concrete
member that is cast and cured at a location other than its final designated location
History
Material in RCC
Concrete is a mixture of Portland cement and stone aggregate. Stone aggregate can be made up from small grains of sand, fist-sized rocks, or a combination of
Material
In Precast
Precast concrete members may be solid or may contain hollow cores. Many precast components have thinner cross sections than cast in place concrete. Precast concrete may be either normal or lightweight concrete.
CMU
Slag concrete masonry units have a great effect on both sound absorption and the reduction in sound transmission through walls.
Theoretically there are no restrictions on the use of skeletal framed precast construction. Irregular and challenging architectural designs on many occasions are more suitable to precasting.
About Precast
Off-site manufacture The manufacturing of the major components of the building off-site reduces the site labour component dramatically, which in turn, reduces site costs and time. The erection crew, necessary for precast construction, will usually consist of only about 5-6 people, rather than the several dozen required for in-site construction.
Quality Control The production of components offsite, in a factory environment allows each of the facets involved in manufacturing to be strictly controlled, and hence, optimum quality to be
Architectural finishes including colours, surface finishes and carefully moulded surfaces allow the designer considerable flexibility in the overall aesthetic appearance of a structure compared with conventional methods.

Transportation
The erection
procedure, and in turn the design of the structure is very much affected by the weight and size of the individual components. The transport of the components is typically by truck and as such, it is imperative to be aware of allowable component sizes and weights. Site
The selection of crane type and size is an important ingredient to the viability of the precast structure. Mobile cranes are generally the most economical, with the new generation of high capacity and highly maneuverable machines allowing the use of larger components and access to more restricted sites.

Pre-cast foundation
Ten times stronger than a block foundation
It prevents water infiltration and moisture build-up.
They keep houses warmer and drier than conventional foundations while adding valuable living space and increasing resale values To enhance strength and durability, they are manufactured with steel-reinforced concrete studs, rigid insulation(optional), a reinforced top and bottom bond (footer) beam
Foundations can often be installed in under five hours using a pre-cast concrete system.
The bond beams and concrete facing are cast in one continuous pour. They connect to the studs by encapsulating vertical rebars and galvanized hooks and pins which protrude from the top, bottom and back of each stud.
Once panels are erected, sealed, and bolted together, the basement slab is poured. Floor joists above the foundation are conventionally installed and provide some of the bracing for the foundation walls. Once braced by the slab and floor system, backfilling against the walls
Precast piles
Typical shapes of precast prestressed concrete piling are square, hexagonal, octagonal and round - with a solid or hollow core. Piles are designed to resist compression, tension, bending and torsion forces during the manufacturing, transportation, handling and installation so the structural integrity and design purpose are achieved.
Precast beams
A beam is a structural element that carries load primarily in bending (flexure). Beams are characterized by their profile (the shape of their cross-section), their length, and their materials.

A column is a part of a structure whose purpose is to transmit through compression the weight of the structure. Columns are frequently used to support beams or arches on which the upper parts of walls or ceilings rest.
Precast columns
Precast columns can be produced as either multi-storey corbelled columns or single floor-to-floor elements
Single storey reinforced columns are simple to design, detail and construct.
Extra reinforcem ent is usually provided at the top and bottom of the column, these additional ties act as antisplitting
The base connection is generally analyzed as a pin joint and due to connection details the columns tend to be conservatively sized, manufactured with high strength concrete, and reinforcement typically limited to four corner bars with nominal ties. This approach
Benefits of Precast Beams and Columns Maximum durability and structural strength Excellent for fast-track construction Can be manufactured and erected during inclement weather Provides superior loading and clear spans Cuts overall construction costs
Hollowcore slabs are manufactured on long line casting beds (over 100 meters in length) and saw cut to the required length after curing. A dry cast extrusion system in which a very low sump concrete is forced, or extruded, through a machine. A wet mix method in which a higher sump concrete is poured in two or more layers by a machine similar to a large kerb and channel machine.
The hollow core slabs are oriented to either span between load bearing shear walls or to span from the central corridor to an exterior wall. Slabs can be cantilevered up to 1.8 ft (6 m) to form exterior balconies.
Double tees used for spans and loads that exceed the capacity of hollow core slabs (parking garages, swimming pools, food processing, large industrial buildings, etc.). Double tees are ideal for floor and roof systems requiring medium to long, uninterrupted spans and
The cast in place concrete characteristi cs of the system offer unlimited architectural freedom in shape design
From the drawings, Engineers will determine the optimum arrangement of steel reinforcement, concrete and lattice and provide all necessary calculations prior to manufacture and then the slab is precast .

Prestressed Lintels
Precast lintels are easy to install, and offer significant advantages over those poured in place
Precast lintels save time and money by eliminating unnecessary man hours in the preparation of forms, cutting rebar, concrete
No need to fabricate steel angles to span openings and rust proofing is not required.
Precast Walls
some consist of steelreinforced concrete ribs that run vertically and horizontally in the panels. Others are solid precast concrete panels.
Precast wall panels offer many benefits Uniformity of joints Modular dry fix panels Ease and speed of installation Standard size panels
