A Review on Comparative Understanding of European and Indian Precast Structure

Abstract

In India there is a great demand for construction but usually, construction is done in situ, as India is a developing country construction is in great demand to make the process fast precast construction can be adopted hence a study of this process is included in this paper. Conventional cast in situ method of construction is most used construction method in India. But still, there's an enormous demand for housing in India. So, the construction activity has to take place much faster. This can't be accomplished through conventional method of construction. It can be done possible with precast concrete for construction. Moreover, there are greater benefits of precast concrete in comparison with traditional ones. So various literatures are studied and an assessment of these all have been given in this paper. Also, the benefits and negative aspects of precast construction are discussed here. In this paper different structural components are studied and designed according to Indian code as well as Eurocode-2. In this study a comparison between IS CODE and EUROCODE-2 is done while designing loads from one element are transferred to other components, and components are designed accordingly.
