    This document provides an introduction and scope of work for a study on precast concrete structures for low-rise housing construction. It notes that housing costs have risen faster than other goods in major Indian cities, making housing unaffordable for many. Precast concrete construction offers benefits over traditional construction like higher efficiency, quality, and lower labor needs. The scope of the study is on using precast concrete for structural elements like walls, beams, floors and panels in buildings up to four stories. It aims to research stress performance of precast frames and current engineering applications to improve construction time and practices for affordable housing development in India.

    INTRODUCTION

    General
    India is the country where men earns to satisfy the basic needs which includes mainly
    food, cloths & shelter famously known as Roti, Kapda aur Makan. As we all know in last few
    decades India has developed substantially in affordability and availability of food & clothing
    regardless to the rate.
    But when the matter comes to Housing or Shelter in the areas of metropolitan cities
    like Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, New Delhi, Kolkata etc. which are considered to be the A1 cities of India, the rate of land, construction materials, labours & equipments for its
    construction become so high that it becomes difficult for common men to afford it & manage
    the housing in his whole life. Also, it can be seen that availability of housing in these major
    cities is very low. Local Areas get crowded like animals by workers, employers & other LIG
    peoples.
    Other than these India is now developing fast enough to compete with developed
    countries. For that our government is implementing new projects of Smart cities in which
    construction technique will matter a lot.
    Hence, in our present study, we are going to focus on how to minimise the
    construction time, make an effective construction practise using Precast Concrete structure &
    learn some base construction of precast concrete structures.

    1.2

    Scope of work
    As construction industrialization is springing up in our country, precast concrete
    housing, as a result, has been developing rapidly. Based on this project about precast concrete
    housing system, the latest stress performance research of precast concrete frame structure and
    up-to-date engineering application can be studied.
    Since, the scope of this publication is limited to the use of precast concrete for lowrise housing. In some instances, reference is also made to related concrete technologies and
    other markets for which this report may be also be useful. This report refers to a wide range
    of precast concrete products. However, the focus is on concrete components, elements or
    modules that are manufactured off-site and then assembled on-site at a later date. This
    includes mainly structural elements such as walls, beams, floors, columns and panels. For the
    purposes of the report, other small scale precast products such as concrete blocks and lintels
    have not been included.

    Reference is made to:


    Open systems (elements which are compatible with other building components)
    Closed systems (elements which are compatible only with each other)
    In particular, the text refers to components, panels (two-dimensional) and volumetric
    (three-dimensional) applications for precast concrete. The term housing means single homes,
    sheltered housing, student accommodation, motels and hotels etc. This report, however,
    considers dwellings ahead of commercial buildings. The two key markets considered are
    individual homes and apartments in public and private sector developments. The use of the
    term low-rise here is intended to cover dwelling types up to four storeys in height, including
    private rented and sale sectors of both speculative builders and housing associations/trusts.
    Clearly each of these markets is quite different and requires different functionality, planning
    and aesthetic provision; where appropriate these factors are taken into consideration. It should
    be noted that regional variations in take-up, architectural style and uses are also relevant.

    1.3

    Need for Study


    Now, because of buildings cost increased faster than most industrial products. In the
    traditional constriction, which require a large amount of workers, in most industrialised
    countries and many developing countries, traditional construction site require more skilled
    labours. Considering this factor, we can choose precast concrete frame structure which have
    the high production efficiency, good product quality, low labour intensity, less number of
    workers and suited to sustainable development of the country. In foreign developed countries,
    precast concrete structures have been already used, such as, industrial plants, underground car
    parks, public banking centres. Throughout the development process of precast concrete
    structure, studying of the seismic is insufficient in column beam & beam slab, which is
    needed to improve continuously.
