Course Overview

This course focuses on the structural analysis and design of a sample precast building as per Indian codes.
The course emphasises the use of the precast scheme in the structure and develops the element and connection assemblies accordingly.
The course covers everything from the concept design stage to the detailed design stage, developing the structural system from the ground up to the final comprehensive design.
The course also covers the criterion of element sizes and lifting, as well as the transport mechanisms and constraints of various precast elements.
