15CV752 Prefabricated Structures syllabus for CV

INTRODUCTION

Need for prefabrication–Principles–Materials–Modular coordination– Standarization–Systems–Production–Transportation–Erection.

PREFABRICATED COMPONENTS

Behaviour of structural components–Large panel constructions–Construction of roof and floor slabs–Wall panels –Columns–Shear walls

DESIGN PRINCIPLES

Disuniting of structures-Design of cross section based on efficiency 08 Hours L2,L3 of material used–Problems in design because of joint flexibility –Allowance for joint deformation.

JOINT IN STRUCTURAL MEMBERS

Joints for different structural connections–Dimensions and detailing–Design of expansion joints

DESIGN FOR ABNORMAL LOADS

Progressive collapse–Code provisions–Equivalent design loads for considering abnormal effects such as earthquakes, cyclones, etc.,-Importance of avoidance of progressive collapse.

Course Outcomes:

After studying this course, students will be able to:

1. Use modular construction, industrialised construction

2. Design prefabricated elements 3. Design some of the prefabricated elements

4. Use the knowledge of the construction methods and prefabricated elements in buildings

Program Objectives: •

Engineering knowledge • Problem analysis • Interpretation of data

Question paper pattern: •

• The question paper will have 5 modules comprising of ten questions.
• Each full question carrying 16 marks • There will be two full questions (with a maximum of three subdivisions, if necessary) from each module. •
• Each full question shall cover the topics as a module • The students shall answer five full questions, selecting one full question from each module.
• If more than one question is answered in modules, best answer will be considered for the award of marks limiting one full question answer in each module.
