Singapore's Building Construction Authority has an initiative to promote productivity in the construction industry using prefabricated prefinished volumetric construction (PPVC) technology. This paper outlines the pioneering approach of using a reinforced concrete composite shear wall system in PPVC technology for construction of a 40-storey residential project.
Ed Clark, of the Institution’s Structural Futures Committee, discusses prototype homes and their importance to the future of construction.
New guidance on reinforced concrete transfer slabs, developed with industry experts to enhance design safety. This guidance, covering concept design, robustness, and punching shear assessment, aims to address the complexities and safety implications of transfer slabs, a widely used yet challenging structural component.
A structural design guide and reference for practicing engineers and educators, as well as recent graduates entering the structural engineering profession.
