PC panel strengthening technique was developed in M.E.T.U. Structural Mechanics Laboratory in order to respond the need of practical and efficient pre-quake seismic strengthening procedures applicable to RC framed structures. The idea behind the method is simply to convert the non-structural infills into load bearing structural elements by gluing PC panels over the existing infill wall surface. The remarkable advantages of the procedure is not only the considerable amount of seismic performance improvement but also the simplicity of application, very low levels of disturbance to the occupants and most importantly, the applicability during service. A number of PC panel application parameters were experimentally investigated by previous researchers. The success of PC panel method on seismic performance improvement of RC frames with different aspect ratios was experimentally investigated in the present study. Total of fifteen, 1:3 scaled, one-bay, two-storey RC frames were tested in three various aspect ratio series. Constant axial load was applied to the columns and reversed cyclic load was applied in the lateral direction. Hollow brick v infilled frame and cast-in-place RC infilled frame were the lower and upper bound reference specimens, respectively. Seismic performance indicators such as response envelope curves, lateral load carrying capacities, cumulative energy dissipations, initial stiffness indicators and ductility values clearly showed the effectiveness of PC panel application over different geometry of RC frames of concern. Moreover, PC panel application either with rectangular or with strip shaped PC panels provided seismic performance improvement to be almost equal to that of cast-in-place RC infill application for all series. Equivalent diagonal strut concept was followed in analytical studies to simulate the infills of RC frame openings. The required strut material properties were estimated from total of eighteen individual wall panel tests. The bond-slip effect, due to utilization low strength of concrete and plain rebars, was also investigated and introduced to the analytical frame models. Non-linear push over analysis was performed for all specimens in OpenSees computer software. The analytical results were compared with that of experimental response envelopes.

A indústria da construção civil vem assumindo um papel determinante no desenvolvimento econômico do país e vivenciado um crescimento exponencial que exige das empresas uma dedicação crescente na busca por novas tecnologias construtivas e ferramentas que auxiliem na gestão de empreendimentos. Sistemas construtivos racionalizados que repercutam na melhoria dos produtos com a redução de custos são essenciais para manter a competitividade no setor. O sistema construtivo de vedações verticais em concreto armado moldadas in loco confere uma alternativa na produção de habitações em larga escala caracterizada pela redução de custos e alta produtividade originando uma cadeia produtiva que auxilia no planejamento e controle da produção em obras. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo contribuir para o planejamento e o controle da produção de edificações que utilizam em seu processo o sistema construtivo anteriormente citado, propondo um modelo de organização da produção baseado na redução da variabilidade dos processos produtivos por meio do fluxo contínuo da produção, que proporcione o trabalho ininterrupto no canteiro de obras. A proposta associa os princípios que sustentam a filosofia produtiva da Lean Constrution, e recomenda um modelo para o planejamento operacional de curto prazo, que defina os fluxos produtivos pela aplicação de ritmos constantes nas atividades mediante o nivelamento dos recursos de mão-de-obra envolvidos no processo produtivo com a introdução de células produtivas que proporcionam lotes otimizados de trabalho, constituindo células de trabalho. / The construction industry has a decisive role in economic development of the country and experienced exponential growth requires dedication growing companies in the search for constructive new technologies and tools that will assist them in managing exposures. Constructive rationalized systems that reverberate in improvement of products with reducing costs is critical to remain competitive in the industry. The constructive system using cast-in-place concrete vertical panels confers an alternative in the production of large-scale housing characterized by reduced costs and high productivity that provides a productive chain which assists in the planning and production control in workplaces. This work aims to contribute to the planning and production control buildings that use its constructive system previously cited, proposing a model organization of production based on reducing variability in productive processes through streaming production, providing uninterrupted work on site. The proposal combines the principles supporting the production philosophy of Lean Constrution, and recommends a template for the short-term operational planning, defining workflows by applying patterns appearing in activities by the leveling of labour resources involved in the production process with the introduction of work cells that provide small batches of work.

Vid byggnation av betongväggar på vatten- och reningsverk används dom tvåmetoderna platsgjutna och prefabricerade väggar. Metoderna ger liknande resultatmen skiljer sig avsevärt i genomförande. Vi har därför valt att studera ämnet och draslutsatser om vilken metod som är att föredra.För att studera ämnet valde vi Skebäcks Reningsverk i Örebro som studieobjekt därdom båda metoderna att uppföra nya mellanväggar i betong har använts i sambandmed ombyggnation av befintliga bassänger.Vi har valt att studera kostnader och arbetsmiljöfrågor kring dom två olikabyggmetoderna.Som underlag för kostnadsberäkningen har vi använt Wikells Sektionsdata samtprisuppgifter från leverantörer. För att studera arbetsmiljön har intervjuer genomförtsmed två yrkesverksamma betongarbetare. Intervjuerna gav sedan underlag för enenkät som skickades ut till yrkesverksamma betongarbetare.Vår studie visar att prefabricerade väggar beräknas ge en lägre byggkostnad änmotsvarande platsgjuten vägg vid ett reningsverk. Studien visar även attbetongarbetare föredrar prefabricerade lösningar ur arbetsmiljösynpunkt. Fysisktpåfrestande moment undviks och tiden som spenderas på arbetsplatsen minskar vidprefabricerade betongelement. / When building concrete walls at water and wastewater treatment plants , the twomethods are cast-in-place and prefabricated walls. The methods give similar resultsbut differ considerably in implementation. We have therefore chosen to study thesubject and draw conclusions about which method is preferable.To study the subject, we chose Skebäcks wastewater treatment plant in Örebro as astudy object where both methods of constructing newpartitions in concrete havebeen used in connection with the reconstruction of existing basins.We have chosen to study costs and work environment issues around the twodifferent construction methods. As a basis for the cost calculation, we have usedWikell's Sektion Data and price information from suppliers. To study the workenvironment, interviews were conducted with two professional concrete workers. Theinterviews then provided the basis for a questionnaire that was given to professionalconcrete workers.Our study shows that prefabricated walls provide a lower construction cost than thecorresponding cast-in-place wall at wastewater treatment plant . The study showsthat concrete workers prefer prefabricated solutions from a work environment pointof view. Physically stressful moments are avoided and the time spent in theworkplace is reduced when building with prefabricated concrete walls.
