Prefabrication
Structures
Definition:
Prefabrication is the practice of assembling the components
of a structure in a factory or manufacturing site and transporting complete assembly
to the construction site where the structure is to be located. It is the new
technique and is desirable for large scale housing practices.
Principle of
Prefabrication:
1.
To improve quality of work, as it is
manufactured under improved and controlled conditions
2.
To speed up the construction, since no curing is
necessary
3.
To achieve a good quality of construction with
minimal cost
4.
To use materials which possess innate
characteristics such as light weight, sound insulation, thermal conductivity
etc…,
5.
To use locally available materials with required
characteristics
6.
Use of reusable materials in construction
7.
Design for flexibility and adaptability
8.
Simplify and standardize building systems
9.
To provide safety working platform during
deconstruction
10.
To minimize complexities in building design
