Abstract - As the Indian construction industry is adapting
modern techniques and materials for its growth day by day, but the factor which is still stationary is, budget. For carrying any project the most important factor is the cost of the project which basically is the summation of all the different elements which are involved in the project. When we deals in building construction walls are one of the most delicate element which has its own importance in any structure. For erection of conventional brunt brick masonry walls it requires a lot of skilled labor and more over a large amount of time. By the time of finishing it again requires a capital for plaster and smoothing the surface. This paper deals with the cost analysis of precast wall panel and a conventional burnt brick masonry wall, so that there should be a concluded result regarding the cost estimation of the two walls mentioned above. The precast panel used for this project is a self-designed insulated wall panel with details described in the paper below. This paper contributes in the modern day construction techniques and material. As the precast industry is holding the market and extending its work in every possible elements of the construction viz. precast column, precast beams, precast slabs, precast rigid pavements, and off-course precast walls. The benefits of the precast element systems has shown a lot of interest in today’s market for the designers. So, it is necessary that these precast wall panels must be in the range of optimum cost so that they can be utilized for the maximum purposes they can be used for. Key Words: Precast panel, cost analysis, burnt brick masonry, insulated, conventional.
This paper includes an overview of the cost analysis between a particular designed precast insulated wall panel and conventional burnt brick masonry wall. The reason for this paper is to justify weather the precast constructions are worth or not as compared to conventional burnt brick masonry for erecting walls. The panels which are used to this project were selfdesigned precast insulated wall panels. For the purpose of insulation the material which is used is expanded polystyrene sheets sandwiched in between the two outer concrete wythe layer. All the three layers i.e. the two outer concrete layers and the insulated sheet layer were held with the help of connecters. These connecter were inserted during the time of casting the panels. One of the objective of these precast wall panels are they leads in reduction of thermal energy requirement in a building due to which a large amount of energy and money is saved during the useful life of these panels. The expanded polystyrene is one of the material which is responsible resisting the flow of heat through it. So, the cost analysis of these precast insulated wall panels is very much important. 1.1 Design of Panel This particular design panel is a typical sandwich wall panel and the 2 main component of the panel are-
