Description

The research deals with the analysis and advantage of prefabricated concrete structures against steel structures. The focus of the study is mainly montage structures of business / economic facilities, mostly one floor, but the height of which is 9m, which is several times higher than that of normal floors.

The research is based on the analytical method, which helps in the final results.

In addition to the many advantages, here the analysis is based mainly on two main aspects:

1. The aspect of construction time (Speed & Strength).
2. Aspect of the construction cost (Cost Effective).

The analysis shows that the application of structures from prefabricated concrete elements, compared to steel structures, in addition to the above mentioned advantages (Speed & Strength and Cost Effective), there are many other advantages, such as:

• Quality
• Long Life & Low Maintenance Structures
• Weather & Fire Resistant
• Energy Efficient & Green Building Structures
• Easy Installation
• HCS Act as a Ducting System
• Minimal On-site Activity
• Flexible Designs & Long Spans
• Acoustic Performance
• Recyclable
• Water tight.

Keywords:
