It is economical.
Full cross-section of member is utilized.
Increases durability.
Reduces corrosion of steel.
Increase in shear capacity.
Larger spans can be constructed.
It allows rapid construction.
A simple explanation: PRE tensioned- cables are tensioned, and the concrete is cast around it. The tensioning is done BEFORE casting the concrete (PRE = before). POST tensioned- cables are placed inside of ducts or are greased to prevent bonding to the concrete, the concrete is cast around the cables, and then the cables are tensioned after the concrete has reached a desired strength. The tensioning is done AFTER the concrete is cast (POST = after).
What are Advantage pre cast concrete slab than insitu concrete?
PCC in construction refers to Plain Cement Concrete, which is used as a preparatory base for laying RCC footing. Though PCC is also concrete, this is lean in nature, the ratio being 1:4:8. The compressive strength achieved with this mix is normally 7.5kN/sq.mm.
It would depend on two factors.. 1. are you mixing the concrete your self or 2. are you buying the concrete pre-mixed Mixing your own concrete by com-binding sand and cement is the way to go as its cheaper. Also by your sand in large loads as again its much cheaper than buying bags. If you want more in-depth answer sent me a message on my website.
actually you use mortaar mix pre blended spec or sand and plastic cement 1 to 4
