OverviewWhat you'll
What you'll
be able to do.
- 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.
