Research on Construction of Prefabricated Precast Concrete Columns Combined with S-VRO Foam Core Slab

Solutions of precast components and prefabricated construction are increasingly widely used for civil and industrial construction with the advantage of fast-track and material-saving implementation, good quality components which are less damaged by subjective factors and weather. A S-VRO foam core slab is a flat reinforced concrete slab with a hollow foam core in the middle which reduces the weight of the slab, but still maintains the same stiffness beneficial to fast-track and material-saving implementation, long-span structure, heat and sound insulation increase. The combination of the prefabricated S-VRO slab and prefabricated column components opens the new way for Vietnam's construction industry in the future, promisingly brings high quality construction works in extremely short time. This research paper will study advantages and disadvantages of the construction process using precast concrete columns combined with prefabricated S-VRO compared to conventional construction methods.
