Task 10.1: Formulation of guidelines for constructing mass housing including the cost analysis
Task Leader(s): Dr.B.H. Bharatkumar (SERC), Dr. N. Gopalakrishnan
Objective:
- Formulation of guidelines for constructing mass housing including the cost analysis
Description of Task:
Formulation of easy to use guidelines for construction of mass housing using precast elements will be extremely useful to the practising engineers, policy makers and local bodies. A demonstration of technologies developed under this project will be made at CSIR-SERC and CSIR-CBRI including other services to exhibit the developed prefab technologies. The task is aimed at developing and disseminating the expertise to be developed on prefab technologies for construction of mass housing under this project.
Deliverables:
- Design guidelines for precast frame with and without in-filled panels
- Design guidelines for production of mechanical anchors
- Formulation of general guidelines for construction of cost effective, faster and energy efficient mass housing scheme
