WHY PRECAST?
WHY INDUSTRIALIZED CONSTRUCTION? • High demand for housing • Cost pressure, need for affordable housing in cities • Low productivity on traditional building sites • Construction time pressure in projects • Need for better construction quality • Higher demands for safety at job sites • Increased need for sustainability, environmentally friendly ways of working and decreased amount of waste in all project phases
BENEFITS OF PREFABRICATION BETTER QUALITY OF CONSTRUCTION BETTER PRODUCTIVITY (FACTORY AND SITE) SPEED OF CONSTRUCTION MORE EFFICIENT DESIGN SAVINGS IN BUILDING AND LIFETIME COSTS
MANUFACTURING VS CONSTRUCTION Current construction

Current manufacturing
Value added Support activity Waste
Typical waste sources at construction sites:
• • • • • •
material waste extra handling and movements over-dimensioning waiting mistakes storage
PRECAST PRODUCTS
THE MOST COMMON PRECAST PRODUCTS •
Façades from sandwich to cladding and grey walls • Floors with hollow-core, half, ribbed or solid slabs • Partition and internal walls from Acotec panels to solid walls • Foundations with precast concrete piles SAVINGS IN BUILDING LIFETIME • Frames such as beams, AND columns, slabs COSTS • Balconies and stairs
HOLLOW-CORE SLABS • Hollow-core slabs are pre-stressed floor
products with either round or shaped voids, depending on local conditions.
• Less raw material is needed to achieve the same load bearing capacity as cast in-situ structures.
• Hollow-core slabs allow long spans which
translates into less load-bearing walls and therefore cost savings and more efficient use of space.
SANDWICH PANELS • • • •
Sandwich panel is a dominating facade type in prefabricated concrete buildings The panel consists of two layers of concrete and a layer of rigid insulation between them Controlled thermal insulation ensures energyefficiency and big savings in the building’s operational costs Enables high variation of surfaces such as exposed aggregate, clinker, acid treaded, colored concrete and more.
PARTITION WALL PANELS ACOTEC • Non-load bearing partition wall panels are ideal for places where excellent sound insulation and moisture-resistance are key. • Building work proceeds up to 6 times faster when compared with traditional brickwork and even 2 times faster than blockwork. • The panels have exact dimensions and completely flat surface meaning that no plastering is needed. • Thin structure leaves more floor space.
COST-EFFICIENCY AND EFFICIENT DESIGN
KEY TO EFFICIENT CONSTRUCTION IS WELL-THOUGHT-OUT DESIGN • • • • • • • •
Perimeter of the house compared to the area of apartments Number of corners Number of apartments per staircase and its area Height of the building Usage area / total area Number of loadbearing walls Thickness of partition walls Diverse floor plans for different levels
WHY IS DESIGN IMPORTANT? Cost 100%

NOTE! Number of pieces, complexity and amount of needed site work
COMPETITIVENESS OF PREFABRICATION Saving material • 20 – 30 % less steel • 20 – 30 % less cement and/or concrete
Saving Time •
2-3 times faster

SEISMIC DESIGN OF PRECAST BUILDING
WORLD SEISMIC MAP
CASE STUDY IN CHINA: INDUSTRIALIZED CONSTRUCTION IN SEISMIC ZONES
CASE STUDY: BACKGROUND • Project utilized the highest construction know-how in Finland: • JKMM architects (www.jmkk.fi)
Multi-award winning architect office: more thanr 70 prizes with 35 first prizes in the past 10 years.
•
Finnmap Consulting Oy (www.fmcgroup.fi) A global leader specialized in precast design and structural design with BIM
•
Peikko (www.peikko.com) A specialist in concrete connections and composite beams for slim floors.
TARGET OF THE PROJECT To develop: A building system for industrially manufactured multi-storey apartment building
• • •
based on precast concrete building method based on Nordic (Scandinavian) experience modern Nordic industrialized building technologies (including building services, thermal insulation, ecology, fast assembly, quality, design etc.)

CONCLUSION • Seismic loads and actions are big compared to • • •
non-seismic situations Seismic design is more demanding than standard structural design Seismic design expertise is often local Local codes follow often the principles of cast in situ
• Precast buildings can be used in seismic • •
conditions Shear wall system can be used in seismic areas The design of connections is the key point
