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.

Construction Materials of Conventional Concrete (Precast Concrete Systems)

Concrete is a construction material that is widely used in the world, when compared with other materials such as wood and steel. This is understandable, since its formation materials easy to get, quite durable, easy to shape and relatively affordable price.

There are several aspects that can be a concern in conventional concrete systems, among other things a long execution time and less clean; quality control is difficult to increase as well as the basic ingredients of wood molding and plywood that are increasingly expensive and scarce.
