摘要：

Widespread use of precast concrete for building construction can address the rapid demands for timeliness, quantity, quality, and affordable housing in India. Precast concrete construction (PCC) has numerous benefits including efficiency in material use, reduced embodied carbon through use of advanced blends of cements, timely construction from parallel processes and pre-finishing options, reduced environmental disruptions and economic impact due to off-site construction. However, there are some challenges to embrace this sustainable technology in India. This paper discusses a few critical challenges. Solutions are also concurrently recommended based on the vast experience in India and worldwide on successful implementation of PCC. Challenges and solutions are discussed by suitably classifying them in technical, logistics, implementation, and perception issues. Some of the solutions recommended can be adopted rather quickly with existing technical knowledge, and thoughtful reviews of code specifications, while others, particularly those related to perception issues may require more systematic efforts to address adequately. These solutions will help India leverage the potential of PCC to transform the building construction industry and address the demands for housing and related infrastructure. The paper also provides case studies of PCC buildings. © 2024, Associated Cement Companies Ltd.. All rights reserved.
