Q

What are the advantages of precast flat panel system?

A
  • produced in factory with advanced construction techniques
  • materials used are easily obtainable
  • construction procedure is very fast, which ultimately saves time
  • better thermal insulating characteristics
  • totally fire proof and sound proof
  • precast members are lightweight and can be transported easily to the job site
  • formwork is not required

Q

What are the disadvantages of precast flat panel system?

A
  • requires careful supervision and more skilled workers
  • uniform spacing between beams is required
  • some members are broken up and wasted during the time of transportation
  • the molds that are used for casting are costly

Q

is an RCC slab built monolithically
with supporting columns and reinforced in two or more directions.

A

Flat slab construction

17
Q

Beams are not provided to support the slab. The loads are directly transferred to the columns.

A

Flat slab construction

18
Q

______ are provided with enlarged heads
called capitals or column heads.

A

Columns

19
Q

The thickness of the slab over columns is
also increased to support heavy loads and the thickened part of the slab is called

A

drop panel

20
Q

What are the flat slab construction advantages?

A
  • reduces the overall height of the structure
  • flat slabs are capable to carry concentrated loads
  • requires less formwork
  • reinforcement detailing of slabs is simple and is easy to place
  • better quality control
  • installation of sprinkler and other piping and utilities are easier due to absent of beams
  • increase energy efficiency
21
Q

Flat slab construction disadvantages

A
  • large span is not possible
  • use of drop panels may interfere with larger mechanical ducting
  • kot suitable for masonry partiotions
  • thickness of slab is higher compared to the typical RCC two way slab
