Structure Component of Transportation Prefabricated

Posted on by

Prefabricated unit precast concrete components can be said to be economical only if the cost of transportation from the overall production can be significantly lower than the cost of conventional concrete.

Transport values ​​may be low when pressed in a mechanical engineering improved manufacturing.

There are basically two forms of transportation:

  1. Road transport
  2. Transport by rail

Some things to consider in the selection of transportation

  1. Transport distance – a distance of 200 km economies
  2. Dimensional objects that are transported
  3. Volume of the transported object – a minimum of 400 units
  4. Frequency of transport
  5. Material properties of objects to be transported
  6. Time available
  7. Distribution of construction site
  8. Location of project and accessibility
  9. The cost of available
  10. Legalization of transportation system

Construction Principle and the Kinds of Prefabricated Construction

The following principles can be applied to structural design:

  • The structure consists of the components type that have functions such as beams, columns, walls, floor plate, etc.
  • Each component type should have a slight difference.
  • Connection system should be simple and similar to each other, so these components can be formed by the same method, and use similar tools
  • Components must be able to be used, to perform some functions.
  • The components must be suitable for a variety of circumstances and available in various kinds of production size.
  • The components must have the same weight so that they can be arranged sparingly by using the same equipment.

There are three kinds of prefabricated construction:

  1. Manufacture in a factory, where the components to be made easy and convenient for transportation.
  2. Preparation of the site by using mechanical tools.
  3. Concatenation of the components is assembled into broader components.

Benefits and Prefabricated Construction Issues

Some advantages of prefabricated construction in the building industry are:

  • A faster construction time, since the employment structure in the sitting, construction of foundation and the establishment of prefabricated components.
  • The amount of material required is reduced.
  • Precast unit production on a massive area to make it more practical to use the machine and therefore needs the number of workers who are too much to overcome.
  • Reduced need for human labor and demands to have more expertise.
  • The quality of the resulting better as a result of the manufacturing process which is always under close supervision and remain the use of machinery and tidy working environment.
  • Construction work can be implemented without depending on weather conditions.

Problems in the prefabricated construction are:

  • Transportation components from the factory to the site
  • The difficulty in handling in the field, especially in the erection (establishment), lifting (removal) and connecting (grafting at the time of finalization of construction
  • Implementation of such a means that there are additional costs and technical problems.
