Abstract

The document discusses the need for research on prefabricated steel modular construction in India to understand its advantages and process. The aim is to promote this type of construction by understanding how prefabricated steel modules are used in structures. The objectives are to examine the advantages and disadvantages of prefabricated modular construction using steel, its potential applications in India, and compare the costs and energy efficiency to traditional construction methods.

NEED FOR RESEARCH-

Prefabrication construction account numerous advantages which help in


erecting a structure which is used for all types of structures like, bungalow,
apartments, commercial complex etc. Prefabricated construction in steel hass a
huge scope in developing countries such as India.The research is needed to
understand prefabricated steel modules being used for structures and promote it
in India

INTRODUCTION

Modular construction is carried out using prefabricated modules such an


entire room, corridor etc. These modules are then transported and erected on
site using cranes. Steel based modules use galvanized steel strip that is cold rolled
into steel sections, and these sections are prefabricated into wall, floor, ceiling
panels. After prefabrication the entire module is set to transport to site. It is
important to understand the prefabrication process of these modules and what
challenges are to encountered.

AIM-

To understand the prefab modular construction using material steel.

OBJECTIVE

 To get an idea about prefab modular construction in terms of its


advantages and disadvantages.
 To list down possible uses of Prefab steel modules in India.
 To understand the process of erection of prefab steel modules.
 To understand how manufacturing of customised prefab modules takes
place to achieve desired module.
 To compare cost and energy analysis between traditional and prefab steel
modular construction.
SCOPE- Prefab construction is a vast topic with includes precast construction in different materials. It is
seen that prefab modular construction in steel has huge scope in developing countries like India. Thus
the research focuses on prefab Modular construction in steel.
