  • Precast Vs Steel is a common debate at the start of a project, Which one will be better? Which one will be cheaper? it is better for the building to be a precast structure, or will a steel-framed building be cheaper? I will go through the benefits and drawbacks of comparing both Precast Concrete and Steel Framed Construction. to help decide between Precast and Steel. In the end, the answer is not as clear cut as you may think and in the end, most structures are a combination of steel framing and Precast concrete.

    I would say that both types of systems also a allow for circulair construction when designed for reassembly in mind. This would be easier with steel but this also possible with precast depening on the types of connections. There are now some alternatives to grouted connections that make it possible to take a precast building apart in a non-destructive way. In the city of Arnhem in the Netherlands an old office building from 1987 that was built with traditional grouted conenctions has been disassembled, and certain elements such as the hollow core floor are re-used for a new building. In this case they simple cut the elements loose with a diamond saw. In think that in the future we might see more Peikko type conenctions that allow precast structures to be assembled / dissambled like steel frames. This is already common with precast systems for low-rise housing that uses very simple bolted or welded steel connections.

      Hi DYKO, reuse will become more and more common. still would still be more reuseable as your can melt it down and form it into a new form this is much harder for precast. but I think it will become more common for building to be design from cradel to grave.

    Hi Brendan, thanks for making great content. i really enjoy your videos! do you have any videos about material selection for structural columns? specifically what I am interested in knowing is why (in my area of austin tx) is it so common to see HSS columns as opposed to wide flange on structural engineer drawings? as a steel fabricator it seems like you could easily sub out HSS for an i-beam which is cheaper and opens up more options for column to beam connections. let me know if you can point me to any videos that discuss this topic.
    thanks!

    Very interesting video, thanks!
    However, regarding the eco-friendly point I think it needs to be argued that you have to look at more than just the structural elements, it's the finished building that counts. For instance, the steel framing will need fire and sound insulation whereas this is already "covered" by the concrete being heavy and naturally fire proof. Maybe do a video on that some day?

    Just on sustainability, could pre-caste not also be reused? Say you have an old building and it's demolished, couldn't the old bricks and concrete pieces be taken to a plant, broken down further and then reused as aggregate?

    In my country (Brazil) steel structures are generally more expensive than precast concrete structures. We manufacture our own steel sections, but reinforced concrete is by far the most used structural system here.

  • @Ooze27
    @Ooze27 2 роки тому

    Precast usually wins on cost. But the transportation etc. can be challenging depending on the site location. One other thing that is very important, again, depending on the building is fire resistance on which concrete has an enormous upper hand. That said, although our curriculum is more oriented towards concrete, i always prefered steel structures, way more flexibility on how you design your structure, no pun intended.

    steel builds are lighter and more earthquake resistant. steel building is more flexible and easy to repair. if steel building collapse. it does not take many lives because it does not have concrete made floor.
