Item Pre-Cast Prestressed Concrete System for the Housing Projects(Addis Ababa University, 2015-12) Adane, Edom; Adamu, Asnake (PhD)This research is a first step towards advancement of construction industry, specially the housing project. The glimpse of the effect of introducing pre-cast prestressed system for housing project is dealt here. Further researches on how to apply the system and detailing regarding the column to beam should be studied specifically. In addition to detailing the pre-cast prestressed industry installation cost and operation cost should be assessed and detail cost should be considered. The research mainly focus on the design of 40/60 housing project using a pre-cast prestressed concrete and noting the significance of adopting such a system in quality, time and cost. To compare the outcome of adopting such a system, the design values of the prestressed concrete system is compared with the design of conventional reinforced concrete. The research finally concludes by discussing the effect of the newly developed system and by noting areas of further research that are needed to confidently apply pre-cast prestressed system for the 40/60 housing project.
