Cost reduction effects of in-situ PC production for heavily loaded long-span buildings
The precast concrete (PC) method is preferable in construction activities for its short construction time, guaranteed quality, and cost-effectiveness. Most researchers and engineers believe that these benefits are maximized if the PC components are produced at manufacturing plants. However, under si...

| description | The precast concrete (PC) method is preferable in construction activities for its short construction time, guaranteed quality, and cost-effectiveness. Most researchers and engineers believe that these benefits are maximized if the PC components are produced at manufacturing plants. However, under similar production conditions, the in-situ production of PC components can save production costs while providing quality equal to or better than in-plant production. Several studies have described the benefits for the cost reduction effects of in-situ production. However, the verification by using case studies was not conducted. The purpose of this study is to analyze the cost reduction effects of the in-situ production of PC elements. For this study, a case project was selected to establish an in-situ production plan and PC columns were produced on site. Then, the cost reduction effects were analyzed using the actual data of the case project. The results of this study will be used as a core for the development of algorithms for in-situ production of PC components. |
