Mr. Pavan Patchigolla, Founder and Principal Structural Engineer of Possibuild Building Technologies, Hyderabad gave a talk on Precast Prestressed Hollow Core Slabs- Design to Safe Execution on 25 September. 

He discussed Precast Prestressed Hollow Core Slabs, focussing on their design,  manufacturing, and execution process. The lecture commenced with the discussion on different forms of Precast Hollow Core Slabs, their specifications and features. Basic workflow of hollow core slabs from the factory to the service was also discussed in detail. Structural design was introduced based on sectional, material, and topping properties. The design comprised of load and prestressing force calculation, deflections, stresses, along with determination of moment and shear resistance. The lecture also emphasized on production, stacking, handling, transportation, and erection of precast hollow core slabs. A brief overview on connections of precast slabs was also given. Attendees and students got a comprehensive overview of Precast Hollow Core Slabs, focussing on their design process, production specifications and handling requirements. It is expected that the insights from the lecture will be beneficial to the attendees in their academic as well as the professional workspace.
