    • PREFABRICATED CONCRETE ELEMENTS

      (Temporary Fixing Inserts for As-Cast Element Tolerances) INTRODUCTION: To ensure proper alignment and structural efficiency in the handling and installation of prefabricated concrete elements by placing temporary fixing inserts within the allowable as-cast dimensional tolerances as specified in Australian Standard AS 3850.2:2015. Inserts for the temporary attaching of prefabricated concrete elements shall be placed within…

    • STAGGERED FERRULES PLACEMENT ON PRECAST PANEL

      The design drawings for one of our Precast Project we were working on suggests ferrules must be placed staggered as noted below. The Problem: However, these casting components, such as ferrules cannot be placed on both sides of a precast panel with a thickness of less than 250mm. This mainly causes ferrules to clash along…

  • Load Bearing & Non-load bearing concepts in precast

    What is load bearing precast element?

    Load bearing precast element is anything that receives load from a precast or structural members and transfers the load to another structural member or precast. These precast elements can also be used along as façade, boundary walls, or for architectural design purposes.

    What is non-load bearing precast element?

    Non-load bearing precast element is anything that may receive load but must not transfer loads to any other structural members or precast. Normally these kind of walls are used only for partition, façade, boundary walls, or for architectural design purposes

    What is Partially-load bearing precast element?

    Partially-load bearing precast element is anything that receives load from a precast or structural members and transfers the load to another structural member or precast. But only a portion of precast receives and transfers load and the remaining portions will act as non-load bearing ones. (Single precast element which acts both as load bearing & non-load bearing)

    Data’s, panel types  & other details for

    Load-bearing element  Non-bearing element  Partially-load bearing element
    Grade, can be higher upto 80MPaGrade enough be 40MPa (UNO)Grade, can be higher up to 80MPa
    Gap between two elements are filled with grouting material of required gradeGap between two elements are filled with Soft joint caulking only. no grouting.Gap between two elements are filled with grouting material of required grade, extent of filling is for load bearing portion. Remaining portion will be soft joint caulking only
    Dowels to be black finish (UNO)Dowels to be Galvanized finishDowels to be Black or Galvanized finish, as per load bearing extend (UNO)
    Dowel length, size & spacing as per Engineer’s requirementDowel length, size & spacing as minimum as possible after discussing with Manufacturer or EngineerDowel length, size & spacing as per Engineer’s requirement  for LBP portion Dowel length, size & spacing as minimum as possible for NLBP portion
    Dowel & Grouting materials will transfer load to adjoining elementDowel will be used to position the precast element & no grouting material present to transfer load. So loads will not be transferred.Combination of LB & NLB criteria
    No ring seal around the dowelHigh density foam ring seal around the dowelNo ring seal around the black dowel High density foam ring seal around the Galvanized dowel
    Grouting material will cover the dowel, so oxidation in dowel is negligibleNo Grouting material, oxidation in dowel is possible. So high density foam ring seal is used and dowels are galvanized to prevent oxidation in dowelCombination of LB & NLB criteria
    No additional tubes or caps neededPlastic tube will be placed over upper half of dowel. Compressible cap will be placed over the top of the dowel bar.Combination of LB & NLB criteria
    Connection with slab mustConnection with slab may not needed with respect to engineer requirementCombination of LB & NLB criteria
