INTRODUCTION
What is a prefabricated system?
INTRODUCTION
General Definition
Prefabrication is the practice of assembling components of
a structure in a factory or other manufacturing site,
and transporting complete assemblies or sub-assemblies to
the construction site where the structure is to be located.
The term is used to distinguish this process from the more

conventional construction practice of transporting the basic
materials to the construction site where all assembly is carried out.

Reggio Emilia AV Mediopadana, a high-speed train station in Reggio Emilia, Italy,

opened in 2013. Made with white-painted steel and glass, the undulating structure
forms a shape called a sinusoidal curve.

Form and Material: Complimentary to each other
Santiago Calatrava’s auditorium in Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the Canary Islands cuts a
striking figure against the Atlantic Ocean. Inside the structure, completed by the Spanish
architect in 2003, a performance space is enclosed by curving abstract concrete forms

Large span structures..
Connecting Sir John Robertson’s Quay and North Wall Quay over the River Liffey in
Dublin, the Samuel Beckett Bridge is designed to resemble a harp, a national symbol of
Ireland. Completed in 2009, the cable-stayed bridge is named after the Irish novelist,
playwright, and poet.

INTRODUCTION
prestressing technology:
a virtue to achieve great spans in concrete
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Application of Prestressed concrete

Key Benefits:
• Performance for the need of longer spans
• Reduced structural thickness
• Material savings
Typical applications include

• High-rise buildings
• Residential slabs
• foundation systems
• Bridges
• Dam structures
• Silos and tanks
• Industrial pavements
• Nuclear containments structures
INTRODUCTION
Thus, “Specialized Construction” in broad terms, refers to…
Large scale projects (airports, stadiums, convention centers..)

Unique Architecture (shell structures/parametric structures..)
Material Explorations
Structural systems as key generator of built form
Large Span structures (space frame structures, tensile structures)
Use of modular Construction systems
prefabricated systems
precast systems
Use of Advanced construction Technologies
(3-D printing/prestressing..)
INTRODUCTION
