Title: | Pre-fabricated Steel-Foam Concrete Composite (SFCC) Building Components for Seismic Resistant Buildings |
Area: | Material Sciences |
Focus Area: | Seismic Resistant Buildings |
Social Benefits: | Potential technology for seismic resistant low rise buildings , Ensures occupant safety , Alternative for conventional structural load-bearing elements , Less construction cycle period due to prefabricated components , Entire building can be dismantled and erected again , Light-weight with adequate strength and ductility Approximate cost reduction of 15% , Added thermal comfort due to the cellular foam concrete as the infill material , Can be effectively used for mass housing (G+3) schemes, Potential applications - Impact Shock Resistant Structures |
