Prefabricated structures involve assembling components of a structure in a factory and transporting them to the construction site. This allows sections of walls, floors, and roofs to be prefabricated off-site and then lifted into place using a crane. Prefabrication aims to reduce costs, improve quality control, and speed up construction by eliminating on-site curing. Common materials used include concrete, steel, wood, and aluminum due to their strength, availability, and suitability for prefabrication. Modular coordination and standardization are important principles to simplify construction and assembly of prefabricated components. Various types of cranes such as tower cranes and mobile cranes are used to transport and erect prefabric

Shoring is the construction of a temporary structure to support an unsafe or unstable structure. There are three main types of shoring: raking shores, flying shores, and dead shores. Raking shores use inclined members called rakers to provide lateral support to walls. Flying shores provide temporary support between party walls when an intermediate building is demolished. Dead shores provide vertical support to walls and structures when the lower part of a wall is removed, such as to add an opening.
Joints are easy to maintain and are less detrimental than uncontrolled or uneven cracks. Concrete expands & shrinks with variations in moisture and temp. The overall affinity is to shrink and this can cause cracking at an early age. Uneven cracks are unpleasant and difficult to maintain but usually do not affect the integrity of concrete.

Prestressed concrete is concrete that is placed under compression using tensioned steel strands, cables, or bars. This is done through either pre-tensioning or post-tensioning. In pre-tensioning, the steel components are tensioned before the concrete is poured, while in post-tensioning, the steel components are tensioned after the concrete has hardened. Prestressed concrete provides benefits over reinforced concrete like lower construction costs, thinner structural elements, and longer spans between supports.
This document discusses raft/mat foundations, including:
- A raft foundation is a thick reinforced concrete slab that supports columns and transmits loads into the soil. It is used for structures with large or uneven column loads.
- Types of raft foundations include flat plate, thickened under columns, beam and slab, box structures, and mats on piles.
- Construction involves soil testing, excavation, reinforcement placement, forming, concrete pouring, and curing. Raft foundations are economic and reduce differential settlement but require treatment for point loads.
This document discusses the design of flat slab structures. It begins by defining a flat slab as a type of slab supported directly on columns without beams. It then provides details on the types of flat slabs, their common uses in buildings, and benefits such as flexibility in layout and reduced construction time. The document goes on to discuss key design considerations for flat slabs including thickness, drops, column heads, and methods of analysis. It focuses on the direct design method and provides limitations for its use.
Pre-stressed concrete uses tensioned steel strands or bars to place concrete in compression before application of service loads. This counters the tensile stresses induced by loads and prevents cracking. There are two main methods: pre-tensioning applies tension before pouring concrete, while post-tensioning tensions strands after concrete curing. Pre-stressed concrete allows for smaller and lighter structures that resist loads, deflection, and cracking better than reinforced concrete.
The document discusses precast concrete construction. Some key points:
- Precast concrete components are cast off-site in a controlled environment and transported to the construction site for assembly. This allows for standardized, mass produced elements.
- Large precast concrete panels form the walls and floors, connecting vertically and horizontally. When joined, they form a rigid box structure that transfers lateral loads.
- Connections between precast elements can be either dry joints using bolts/welds, or monolithic placement with concrete poured to join components.

MODERN CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGIES IN ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVEDr K M SONI
Ā
Modern construction technologies provide advantages like faster construction, higher quality, environmental benefits, and ability to overcome lack of skilled workers. Technologies discussed include prefabricated buildings, tunnel formwork, jump formwork, reinforced soil, trenchless techniques, 3D printing, robotics, and more. While technologies increase speed and quality, some have limitations like limited architectural features, difficulty modifying structures, and higher initial costs. Overall, modern techniques can help qualify projects for sustainability and efficiency if the appropriate technology is selected for each project's unique requirements.
Precast concrete is concrete that is cast in reusable molds or "forms" that are then cured in a controlled environment. This allows precast concrete construction to provide several benefits over traditional cast-in-place concrete including time savings, quality assurance, cost effectiveness, durability, aesthetics, and safer construction. However, precast concrete also has some disadvantages such as high initial investment costs, transportation issues, handling difficulties, limitations for modifications, and needing sensitive connection work. Overall, precast concrete can be a good solution for large construction projects where its benefits outweigh its disadvantages.
Modular construction involves prefabricating building components at a factory and transporting them to the construction site. It offers advantages over conventional construction like cost savings of up to 35%, speedier installation, less waste of materials, and reusability/relocatability of components. Modular coordination is an important concept in modular construction that standardizes dimensions and positioning of building elements in relation to basic modular units for efficiency and industrialization.

The document discusses prefabricated structures for use in emergency conditions. It defines prefabrication as assembling building components off-site and transporting them to the construction location. Prefabrication offers advantages like faster construction, improved quality control, minimized on-site work during bad weather. The document outlines the need for prefabrication, its advantages and limitations, different uses, principles, methods of prefabrication, production systems, and the prefabrication process from manufacturing to transportation and erection. It also discusses standardization and various machinery used in handling, transporting, and erecting prefabricated components.
Prefabrication involves assembling components of a structure in a factory and transporting them to the construction site. There are several prefabrication methods including panelized wood framing, timber framing, concrete systems, and steel framing. Modular construction uses all of these methods by connecting prefabricated components at the construction site. Prefabrication offers advantages like reduced construction time, consistent quality, lower costs, flexibility, reduced site disruption, and improved safety compared to traditional on-site construction methods. As the popularity of prefabrication increases, its benefits are likely to grow further.
Modular construction uses prefabricated components that are manufactured off-site and assembled on-site. This allows for more efficient construction processes and cost savings compared to traditional on-site construction. Modular coordination is an important concept that standardizes dimensions of building components in units of 100mm to facilitate industrialized manufacturing and assembly. Standardizing components through modular coordination improves productivity, reduces waste, and allows for mass production and interchangeability of parts. Planning and coordination of prefabricated structural components is essential for modular construction projects.
Bc open pre fabricated construction systemAnuj Singhal

The document discusses an open prefabricated construction system. Some key points:
- Prefabrication involves assembling building components in a factory and transporting them to the construction site. This speeds up construction time and lowers costs while ensuring quality.
- An open prefabricated system uses precast concrete or steel components like floors, walls, beams and columns assembled on-site. It can be partially or fully prefabricated.
- Examples of full prefabricated open systems include the Nakagin Capsule Tower in Tokyo, with prefabricated steel living capsules bolted to a central concrete core. Prefabrication allowed efficient off-site assembly and construction.
Prefabricated structures are made from prefabricated components like wall panels, columns, beams, and slabs that are constructed in a controlled factory environment and assembled on site. This reduces construction time and improves quality compared to conventional construction. Precast concrete construction generates less waste and has less environmental impact at construction sites.
Prefabrication involves assembling components of a structure at a manufacturing site and transporting them to the construction site. It has several advantages like higher quality, time and cost savings, and does not depend on weather conditions. Some components that can be prefabricated include walls, floors, roofs and entire buildings. However, prefabrication also has disadvantages like needing careful handling and transportation of components and addressing issues like leaks at joints. Common materials used are concrete, steel, wood and techniques include precasting individual components or using large panels.

Ā
The Network on Chip (NoC) has emerged as an effective
solution for intercommunication infrastructure within System on
Chip (SoC) designs, overcoming the limitations of traditional
methods that face significant bottlenecks. However, the complexity
of NoC design presents numerous challenges related to
performance metrics such as scalability, latency, power
consumption, and signal integrity. This project addresses the
issues within the router's memory unit and proposes an enhanced
memory structure. To achieve efficient data transfer, FIFO buffers
are implemented in distributed RAM and virtual channels for
FPGA-based NoC. The project introduces advanced FIFO-based
memory units within the NoC router, assessing their performance
in a Bi-directional NoC (Bi-NoC) configuration. The primary
objective is to reduce the router's workload while enhancing the
FIFO internal structure. To further improve data transfer speed,
a Bi-NoC with a self-configurable intercommunication channel is
suggested. Simulation and synthesis results demonstrate
guaranteed throughput, predictable latency, and equitable
network access, showing significant improvement over previous
designs

Abstract
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) helps to overcome various difficulties in future technology wireless communications. NOMA, when utilized with millimeter wave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, channel estimation becomes extremely difficult. For reaping the benefits of the NOMA and mm-Wave combination, effective channel estimation is required. In this paper, we propose an enhanced particle swarm optimization based long short-term memory estimator network (PSOLSTMEstNet), which is a neural network model that can be employed to forecast the bandwidth required in the mm-Wave MIMO network. The prime advantage of the LSTM is that it has the capability of dynamically adapting to the functioning pattern of fluctuating channel state. The LSTM stage with adaptive coding and modulation enhances the BER.PSO algorithm is employed to optimize input weights of LSTM network. The modified algorithm splits the power by channel condition of every single user. Participants will be first sorted into distinct groups depending upon respective channel conditions, using a hybrid beamforming approach. The network characteristics are fine-estimated using PSO-LSTMEstNet after a rough approximation of channels parameters derived from the received data.

3. Definition
ā¢ The prefabrication which means the production or
manufacture of elements which away from the
construction site, the elements are called as prefabrication.
ā¢ 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.
4. Process of Prefabrication:
ā¢ An example from house building illustrates the process of
prefabrication.
ā¢ In Conventional method : To transport bricks timber, cement, sand,
Steel and construction aggregate etc., to the site, and to construct
the house on site from these materials.
ā¢ In prefabricated Construction: Only the foundations are
constructed in this way while sections of (walls, floors, roof are
Prefabricated with window & door frames included) transported
to the site lifted into place by a crane and bolted together.
5. Aim of Prefabrication
ā¢ To effect economy in cost
ā¢ To improve quality because components can
be manufactured under controlled conditions.
ā¢ To speed up construction since no curing is
necessary
ā¢ To use locally available materials
6. Need for Prefabrication:

for formwork, shuttering and scaffolding is greatly reduced.
ā¢ Construction time is reduced.
ā¢ Speed up construction because of curing is not necessary.
ā¢ Improve the quality as the components can be manufactured
under control condition.
ā¢ Use locally available materials with required characteristics.

benders etc., can be reduced.
ā¢ It save manpower.
ā¢ Shrinkage of the units which largely eliminated.
ā¢ Less expansion joints are needed.
ā¢ More accurate & better workmanship.
ā¢ Cross section of member can be reduced by use of high strength
concrete.
10. Disadvantages of prefabrication
ā¢ Careful handling of prefabricated components such as concrete
panels or steel and glass panels is required.
ā¢ Attention has to be paid to the strength and corrosion-resistance
of the joining of prefabricated sections to avoid failure of the
joint.
ā¢ Similarly, leaks can form at joints in prefabricated components.
ā¢ Transportation costs may be higher for voluminous prefabricated
sections than for the materials of which they are made, which
can often be packed more compactly.
ā¢ Height restrictions under bridges.
ā¢ Road transport maximum widths.
ā¢ Additional cost of temporary bracing for transportation and/or
lifting or permanent framing to
support prefabricated assemblies.
ā¢ Large prefabricated sections require heavy-duty cranes and
precision measurement and handling to place in position.
ā¢ Greater Erection equipments are needed.
14. Limitations of Prefabrication

19. Modular Coordination
ā¢ Modular coordination is a concept of coordination
of dimension and space in which building
components are positioned in terms of basic unit
or MODULE(M)
ā¢ 1M= 100mm
ā¢ It is internationally accepted by the International
Standard Organization and many other countries
including Malaysia.
ā¢ A module: a basic dimension which could for
example form the basis of a planning grid in terms
of multiples and submultiples of standard
module.
20. Modular Coordination (Cont.,)
AIMS:
ā¢ To achieve dimensional compatibility between building
dimensions, span, or spaces and the sizes of components or
equipment by using related modular dimensions.
ā¢ Making the planning simpler & clearer by distinct indication
of location of the building component in the building, both
in respect to each other & a modular grid.
ā¢ Simplification of site work.
ā¢ Limiting the member of sizes of building component so that
the linkage is based on modular measurement.
21. Modular Coordination (Cont.,)
Basics of module :
ā¢ The basic module is known as 1M which is equivalent to 100mm.
1M = 100mm
There are three type of MODULE :-
(I) Basic Module :
It is the fundamental unit of size in modular coordination and for general
application to building & components. The size of basic Module is taken as
100mm denoted by āM.
(II) Multi Module :
multiples of basic module usually expressed in as āMā with numeric prefix as
2M , 3M, 4M etc are referred to as multi module.
(III) Sub Module:
smaller than the basic module. For practical considerations, this sub
modular increment shall be expressed as āMā with fractional prefix as 1/5M,
1/4M, 1/3M,etc.
22. Modular Coordination (Cont.,)
Modular Reference System
ā¢ The term modular
reference systems is the
three dimensional system
of orthogonal space
coordinates within the
positions and sizes of
components, elements
and installations can be
related by references to
points, lines, or planes.
24. Positioning of components and space

27. Two methods of prefabrication
ā¢ Plant prefabrication
ā¢ Site prefabrication
28. Classification of Prefabrication
1. Small prefabrication
2. Medium Prefabrication
3. Large Prefabrication
ā¢ Cast in Site Prefabrication
ā¢ Off-Site (or) factory Prefabrication
4. Open system of prefabrication
5. Closed system of prefabrication
6. Partial prefabrication
7. Total prefabrication
29. Classification of Prefabrication (Cont.,)
1. Small prefabrication :
ā¢ For eg:- brick is a small unit precasted and used in
buildings. This is called as small prefabrication. That the
degree of precast element is very low.
2. Medium Prefabrication :
ā¢ Suppose the roofing systems and horizontal member are
provided with precast elements.
ā¢ These constructions are known as medium prefabricated
construction. Here the degree of precast elements are
moderate.
30. Classification of Prefabrication (Cont.,)
3. Large Prefabrication:
ā¢ In large prefabrication most of the members like
wall panels, roofing/flooring systems, beams and
columns are prefabricated.
ā¢ Here degree of precast elements are high.
ā¢ One of the main factors which affect the factory
prefabrication is transport.
ā¢ The width of road and mode of transport vehicles
are the factors which factor the prefabrications
which is to be done off site (or) Factory.
ā¢ Small elements the conveyance is easier with
normal type of lorry.
ā¢ On site prefabrication is preferred for following
reasons:
ļfactory situated at a long distance
from the construction site.
ļvehicle have to cross a congested
traffic.
ļheavy weighed elements to transport.
31. Classification of Prefabrication (Cont.,)
4. Open system of prefabrication:
ā¢ In the total prefabrication
systems, the space framers are
casted as a single unit and
erected at the site.
ā¢ The wall fitting and other fixing
are done on site.
5. Closed system of prefabrication :
ā¢ In this system the whole things
are casted with fixings and
erected on their position.
32. Classification of Prefabrication (Cont.,)
6. Partial prefabrication :
ā¢ In this method of construction the building
element (mostly horizontal) required are
precast and then erected.
ā¢ Since the costing of horizontal elements (roof /
floor) often take there time due to erection of
from work the completion of the building is
delayed and hence this method is restored.
ā¢ Use of double tees, cored slabs, slabs etc., are
some of the horizontal elements.
ā¢ This method is efficient when the elements are
readily available when the building reached
the roof level.
ā¢ The delay caused due to erection of formwork,
delay due to removal eliminated completely in
this method of construction Suitable for any
type of building provided lifting and erection
equipments are available.
33. Classification of Prefabrication (Cont.,)
7. Total Prefabrication :
ā¢ Very high speed can be achieved by using this method of construction.
ā¢ The choice of these two methods depend on the situations when the
factory produced elements are transported and erected site we call if off-
site prefabrication.
ā¢ If this method is to be adopted then we have a very good transportation
of the products to site.
ā¢ If the elements are cast near the building site and erected, the
transportation of elements can be eliminated, but we have consider the
space availability for establish such facilities though it is temporary.
ā¢ The choice of the method of construction also depends on the following;
1. Type of equipment available for erection and transport.
2. Type of structural scheme ( linear elements or panel)
3. Type of connections between elements.
4. Special equipment devised for special method construction.

36. STANDARDIZATION
ā¢ It is defined as the process of adoption of generally
accepted uniform procedures, dimensions, materials or
parts that directly affect the design prefabricated
product or a facility.
ADVANTAGES OF STANDARDIZATION
1) Easier in design as it eliminates unnecessary
choices
2) Easier in manufacture as there are limited
number of variants.
3) Makes repeated use of specialized equipments
in erection and completion
4) Easier and quicker.
37. STANDARDIZATION (Cont.,)
FACTORS INFLUENCING STANDARDIZATION:-
ā¢ To select the most rational type of member for each
element from the point of production, assembly,
serviceability and economy.
ā¢ To limit the number of types of elements and to use them
in large quantities.
ā¢ To use the largest size of the extent possible, thus resulting
in less number of joints.
ā¢ To limit the size and number of prefabricate by the weight
in overall dimension that can be handled by the handling
and erection equipment and by the limitation of
transportation.
