This section gives recommendations
regarding modular planning, component
sizes, joints, manufacture, storage, transport
and erection of prefabricated elements for use
in buildings.
TERMINOLOGY
• BASIC MODULE - The fundamental module
used in modular co-ordination, the size of
which is selected for general application to
building and its components.
• NOTE - The value of the b & z module has been
chosen as
-100 mm for the maximum flexibility and
convenience.
-The symbol for the basic module is “M”.
Definitions
• COMPONENTS - A building product formed
as a distinct unit having specified sizes in three
dimensions.
• INCREMENTS - Difference between two
homologous dimensions of components of
successive sizes.
• MODULE - A unit of size used in
dimensional co-ordination.
MODULAR CO-ORDINATION
• - Dimensional
• co-ordination employing the basic module or
a multimodule.
• NOTE - The purpose of modular coordination are:
• a) to reduce the component size produced,
and
• b) to allow the building designer the the greater
flexibility in the arrangement of components.
PREFABRICATED BUILDING
• - The completely as sembled and erected
building, of which. the structural parts consist
of:
• prefabricated individual units or assemblies
using ordinary or controlled materials,
including service facilities; and in which the
service equipment may be either prefabricated
or constructed in-situ.
UNIT
• - Building material formed as a simple
article with all three dimensions specified,
complete in itself but intended to be part of a
compound unit or complete building.
• Examples are brick block, tile, etc.
Materials for Prefabrication
While choosing the materials for prefabrication, the
following special characteristics are to be considered:
• a) Easy availability;
• b) Light weight for easy handling and transport, and
to economize on sections and sizes of foundations;
• c) Thermal insulation property;
• d) Easy workability;
• e) Durability in all weather conditions;
• f) Non-combustibility;
• g) Economy in cost, and
• h) Sound insulation.
The materials used in prefab
Components can be various and the modern trend is to
use concrete, steel, treated wood, aluminum, cellular
concrete, light weight concrete, ceramic products, etc.
However, this section pertains to prefab concrete
elements.
