 CASE STUDY ON PRECAST CONCRETE
PETIT HALL
For precast concrete structures to qualify as being
efficient they should be cost effective,  resulting in
reduction in material consumption, easily buildable and
needing little maintenance.
Large-panel prefabrication in India began in Bombay
almost 50 years ago with the design of a group of 27-
storeyed residential buildings, of which three were built
over the next few years.
• These buildings had traditional open foundations.
• The lowest  3  floors, used  for parking and  a podium,  were cast  in
place. 
• But  the upper 24 residential floors were fully precast, using large-
panel walls, hollow-core slabs, and box-shaped façade elements for
window protection.
• In-situ concrete was used only in the vertical and horizontal joints.
CONSTRUCTION
 An earlier thought of using 225mm thick hollow walls was given up
while the mockup was under construction.
 It was decided to use 200mm thick exterior walls and 175mm thick
interior walls throughout.
 The extra thickness of external walls was considered necessary to
accommodate the joint waterproofing arrangements.
  Tower cranes were positioned at the center of each building. The sizes of
precast panels was determined by the crane capacity of 75 tm.
 The farthest panels, almost 30m away, could thus be not more than 2.5
tones in weight, while nearer panels could be larger, up to the maximum
hook capacity of 8 tones.

It meant that the 170 panels per floor would need to be of 103
different types.
So panel repetitions were too few . 

MOCK UP TESTING
The mockup consist of a cast-in-situ foundation in three strip footings, surmounted by a precast floor
consisting of 8 slab units.
 Each was 200 mm thick with longitudinal hollows. Above were three parallel load-bearing precast
walls, each 8m long overall, comprising either 3 or 5 elements, spaced 3.9m apart.   The side plates are held apart by a pantograph mechanism.
 Once the concrete has set, the pantograph mechanism can be operated to draw the side
plates towards the centre of the hollow.
 The upper plate then falls into the hollow, and the lower plate can be lifted into the
hollow. 
 The upper plate then falls into the hollow, and the lower plate can be lifted into the
hollow.
 Since the centre of the hollow is wider than the top and bottom plates, and deeper than the
side plates, all four collapse towards the centre and can then be simultaneously and easily
extracted.
