Difference between cast-in-place construction method and prefabricated construction method

Cast-in-place and prefabrication are two common building methods, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. This paper will discuss the difference between cast-in-place and precast, and the difference between frame structure and reinforced concrete structure.

Prefabricated building mode

In the early economic environment, in order to reduce costs, many houses were built in a prefabricated way. The advantage of this method is that it can reduce the cost, but the disadvantage is that the appearance is relatively simple and lacks uniqueness.

Cast-in-place construction method

With the development of the times, people's demand for architectural design is more and more diversified. Cast-in-place technology has gradually become the mainstream, which can meet the personalized design needs. In the cast-in-place technology, concrete is poured directly into the formwork at the construction site to form the required shape and structure.

frame construction

Frame structure is a form of reinforced concrete structure, which forms a frame through beams and columns to support the whole house. The wall of frame structure usually only bears its own weight, but cannot support the weight of the upper part of the house.

reinforced concrete structure

Reinforced concrete structure is a kind of construction method with steel bars and concrete as the main materials, and may also include other materials, such as masonry, steel and wood. Its advantages are stable structure and high cost.

Frame shear wall structure

If the wall is concrete to support the weight of the upper part of the house, then this kind of house is called shear wall structure or frame shear wall structure.
