ST-93-05Publication details: Bangkok : Asian Institute of Technology, 1993Description: 97, [26] leavesSubject(s): Online resources: Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Eng.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 1993 Summary: The application of prefabrication system for high-rise building construction in Bangkok was studied. The scope of this study is limited to a consideration of precast or pre-stressed concrete. Advantages and disadvantages of using prefabrication for the construction were differentiated using the collected data performed by means of site visiting and interviewing of four construction projects in Bangkok. A comparison between prefabrication and c~t-in-Elac~ system regarding construction cost and time was also .accomplished through the use of estimating. The parts of high-rise building which are appropriate to be prefabricated were recommended. The results indicated that the majors advantages of using prefabrication system are repetitive use of form work, better surface quality and simplicity in form work arrangement whereas the substantial disadvantages are scarcity of skilled form work fabricators, unattractiveness of joints aesthetically and need of heavy equipment. The construction cost and time of using prefabrication system is considerably less than that of cast-in-place system. Stair and facade panel were found to be appropriate to be prefab1icated.
