Comparative analysis on composite construction (structural steel and concrete) and precast concrete construction WRT cost and time

Abstract

The current scenario in India has restricted horizontal growth, especially in cities, the crystal rectifier for building construction to the vertical growth. India's construction industry is an important development indicator, as it creates opportunities for investment across numerous connected sectors. Today, fast track construction is a fast-growing economy, with rising costs and therefore time savings in construction can compensate for vital proportions of overall construction costs. This paper presents a study on time and cost-wise feasibility between two construction systems, Structural Steel and Concrete, precast concrete construction. A case study considered for this work is a 16-storied building, which consists of six stilt floors meant for parking, and the rest of floors are meant for office space. The Primavera P6-2017 used for time scheduling and the optimum time required at different stages of all these two buildings are calculated. The cost of structure is calculated considering the above two systems of construction and details presented here with. On the time basis, the composite structure will be an option for the client as it will reduce the time about 33 days and coming to the cost point of view structural steel is a bit of cost material. While coming to the precast structure it may take more than the time required for the composite structure, but cost analysis reveals that it will be economical than composite structure.
