| dc.description.abstract | It should not be puzzling to have 55% of the condominium house lottery winners did not show up interest to sign and receive ‘their’ houses, which is claimed to be low cost and affordable to lower and middle class society, this figure will be larger in country side towns. This still tells us the claiming low cost houses are still far beyond the affordable limit of the target group. In this study an endeavor is made to investigate structurally safe and economical forms of precast beam. Hence a new plane truss forms of precast beam is investigated and compared to the practicing space truss form of precast beam. The new model, though it has relatively shorter length of span for the similar sizes of bar, it is found reducing the cost by around 25% and mass (weight) of the beam by 33% for relatively similar span lengths. | en_US |
