This book is a concise, student-friendly, and exam-oriented textbook that presents the essential concepts, design principles, components, joints, connections, and construction practices involved in prefabricated and industrialized building systems.
Salient features
• The subject matter is explained in a clear, simple, and systematic manner, making it highly useful for both academic study and practical understanding.
• The book covers key topics such as modular coordination, standardization, prefabricated components, precast systems, structural design philosophy, joints and connections, production, transportation, erection, and design for abnormal loads, which are fundamental to modern construction engineering.
• Special emphasis has been given to bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and field application, enabling students to understand not only the principles of prefabrication but also their practical relevance in contemporary construction practice.
• Particularly suited for courses such as construction engineering practices where modern construction systems, prefabrication concepts, structural components, and erection practices form an important part of the learning framework.
This book is highly suitable for students of Anna University, APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (KTU, Visvesvaraya Technological University and Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU), besides most leading Indian universities and institutions offering courses in structural engineering.
This book serves as a valuable academic resource, practical guide, and examination companion for civil engineering students, faculty members, and professionals seeking a sound understanding of modern prefabricated, precast, and pre-engineered construction systems.
