A

• Building materials which have less dependence on natural resources

• Building materials which are based on agricultural & industrial waste

• Construction systems which optimizes the use of cement, sand & steel
i.e. prefab systems, factory made building components

• less dependence on water, sand, aggregates during construction

• technologies which are not dependent on fossil fuels

• zero construction & demolition waste

• Materials & systems based on renewable resources

• Wood substitutes based on plantation timber

It is envisaged to construct 20 million houses by 2022 in
urban area and about 40 million houses in rural areas
(urban : 2.5 million houses a year, 7000 houses per day)
Conventional Building Materials
Finite Resource Base Demand of Materials

GFRG Panel based Technology
Glass Fibre Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG)/ Rapidwall
Building System Technology (evaluated through PACS)
 Glass Fibre Reinforced Gypsum
(GFRG)/ Rapidwall is a building panel
product, made essentially of gypsum
plaster, reinforced with glass fibres.
 Used since 1990 in Australia. Although
Australia
its main application is in the
construction of walls, it can also be
used in floor and roof slabs in
combination with reinforced concrete.
 The panels may be unfilled, partially
filled or fully filled with reinforced
concrete as per the structural
requirement.
Emerging Technologies under
various stages of evaluation…
Waffle crete System
Waffle crete System
 Precast wall-floor
floor panels made from concrete and steel.
Anchor bolts, connection bolts, grouts etc. are used in
construction.
Casting
 Rebar
 Fe 415
 Standard Sizes of Rebar – 12 mm, 16 mm & 20 mm
 Mesh
 6 mm mesh at 200 mm c/c
 Concrete
 M30 grade concrete without flyash
 Concrete design as per IS 456, SP16
 No coarse aggregates more than 20 mm size
 Water-cement ratio : 0.4
 Mix design with additives to get 10 N/mm2 strength in 18-24
18 hrs
 Swift Lift Anchor
 Two anchors in each wall panel
 Four anchors in each floor panel
 Spacing of anchor according to cutouts provision in respective panel

Panel System
Precast Concrete Panels Using Concrete, Welded Mesh
And Plates, Polystyrene Core
 Pre-cast
cast concrete load bearing panels are
made of reinforced concrete with a polystyrene
insulated core that varies in size from 40mm to
200mm depending upon the insulation
requirements.
 The reinforced concrete panels are moulded in
specially designed steel moulds under
controlled factory conditions.
 The buildings and houses can be designed to
suit any geographical position or environment
and can withstand wind speed in excess of
285km/hr.
 The system does not impose any design
restrictions Due to cohesive structural design,
the system requires only strip foundation for New Zealand
most buildings.
Precast Concrete Panels Using Concrete, Welded Mesh
And Plates, Polystyrene Core…contd.
Expanded Steel Mesh
Panel System
Technology Using Expanded Steel Mesh Panels,
Polystyrene Beads & Alleviated Concrete
 The system is entirely a “on-site”
site” construction
process.
 The houses are entirely, including the roof,
made up of structure panels assembled with
Beams.
 Alleviated concrete, a special mix of concrete U.K.
and expanded polystyrene beads, hence
incorporating both the thermal and the sound
insulation, is injected into a steel structure
made of panels reinforced with beams
(galvanized steel wire studs / steel rods).
 The Concrete base and the foundations of the
houses are prepared in a conventional
manner. The panels are tied to the soldered
wire mesh and to the iron rods in the base
and in the foundations and assembled in
accordance with the design of the house.
Way Forward
 Need to mainstream these technologies into
construction industry
 Sensitization, dissemination at Pan India level
 Capacity building, skill development
 Publication of manuals, guidelines, codes, SOR
 Demonstration buildings
 Information, Education and Communication
