Behavior of Prefabricated Structures in Developed and Developing Countries

Abstract

Today, prefabricated construction has become one of the major components of the developed countries construction and almost 100 percent of building construction utilize prefabricated materials and enormous prefabrication construction showcases in developing countries are in progress and prefabrication construction has shown its potential in development process there too. Although there are numerous advantages connected with developing and prefabricated buildings utilizing prefabrication frameworks, a few constraints can likewise exist. The aim of this research is evaluating different prefabrication technologies and systems in two different categorize (developed countries and developing countries). Prefabrication in construction has the capability to have any kind of effect inside different countries construction industry in monetary, social and ecological terms.

A Novel Offsite Construction Method for Social Housing in Emerging Economies for Low Cost and Reduced Environmental Impact

“…For example, in Chile, the construction sector has a 52% lower productivity than the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) average [19]. In this context, OSC appears to be a promising technique to enhance the construction industry in EEs because the system has several benefits compared to traditional construction methods, such as lower capital costs, higher productivity, higher quality, higher safety, lower waste generation during the construction process, and better environmental performance [20][21][22][23][24][25], among others, which represent a more sustainable behaviour of the constructions during his life span.…”

Large Panel System Technology in the Second Half of the Twentieth Century—Literature Review, Recycling Possibilities and Research Gaps

“…All precast elements are connected by using joints. Slabs are poured in forms on the ground, then lifted by cranes to the final height (Figure 2c,d) [5].…”
