Design of tow-story precast structure composed of Steel and concrete enabling of producing varied and multi functional house units good for Rapid construction and Reconstruction


Abstract in English

The recent situation in Syria requires the creation of new housing units models take into account the functional, architectural, and safe requirements, in addition to specialty of local and living conditions. The created models must achieve family protection, time gaining, using local materials, ability of transporting, reselling, rapid construction, and supporting reconstruction plans. This paper introduces, for the first time in Syria the study, design, fabricating, and erecting of tow-story precast structure composed of reinforced concrete slabs and walls, and light-weight steel structure fully connected by bolts. This structure was designed and implemented in a way that enables producing varied and multi functional house units achieving safety and functional conditions, and rapid construction and reconstruction requirements. The study was introduced by the authors and it was implemented in the General Company of construction in Lattakia. New production lines of housing units were created from scratch by consulting contract between Tishreen University (the authors) and General Company of construction. In less than one year four housing units were designed and produced:1- tow-story continuous building, 2-disaster housing unit, 3- general marketing unit, 4- school unit. These units achieve all above mentioned requirements.
