I’ve wrote Chapter 1 about comparison between precast and cast in place for box culvert, inside attachment named “My work” and you can read below to know the idea for this project: Concrete is the most used construction material that is consumed all over the world. The annual production of concrete is more than 32 billion tons. The production of huge quantities of concrete is reasonable since most of the construction structures are based on concrete in one way or another. Nowadays, concrete is modified to enhance the performance of the concrete by adding different additives and chemicals to make the properties of concrete as per the requirements of the intended application of that concrete. Concrete applications are versatile which means concrete in different structures with different applications and properties. Concrete can be used for commercial buildings, channels, concrete dams, bridges and so many other kinds of structures. One of the major structure that is made of concrete is the culvert. A culvert is a structure that has the function of allowing the water to pass through them mainly in roads and railways where water should be allowed to pass and run without interrupting the function of the main structure such as the roads or the railways. Culverts can mainly be used as cross drains for ditch relief, and to pass the water under a road at natural drainage and stream crossings. A culvert can also be a bridge to allow vehicle’s passing through them. Culverts can be formed as many shapes and sizes based on a number of factors involving performance, limitations on upstream water surface elevation, and roadway embankment height. Culverts are constructed with concrete which can be constructed and assembled either in site or in a factory and then the parts are transported to the site for assembling. The process for making and casting the parts of culverts in the factory is called precast. This process simply means that the elements of the culverts are made in the factory of precast concrete and then the elements are transported through large vehicles to the site to be assembled as a culvert. In this report a study will be done to compare between the construction of precast box culverts and cast in site box culverts in term of quality, cost and time to construct the culvert. The study will consider only one type of culverts which is the box culvert as it is the most used culvert. Box culverts have a concrete floor which ensure smooth flow of water media through it. There are some box culverts which can be built in a way that it will withstand high flow of water and can maintain the change in direction of the water flow. Box culverts can also be installed in such way that the top of the culvert is also the roadway surface which make it the perfect type to be used in highways and roads. The importance of those types of culverts in highways and roads is that they are more critical as it is expected to act as a media for allowing water passage as well as a surface for roads. In addition to that the study will look into the facts of using precast elements and compare them with the normal way of casting in site. The comparison will allow the reader to decide whether the technology of precast is more useful than the normal cast in site method. The advantages and disadvantages of both methods of casting will be discussed. Cost analysis will be detailed for both methods of casting concrete to come up with the most appropriate method for constructing the concrete structures mainly in box culverts. Time needed for completing a box culverts using the two methods will be calculated to look up for the more efficient and quickest method for making a box culvert. Aims & Objectives: – The core aim of this report is to compare between the precast concrete and in site concrete for making a box culvert. Following are the objectives set for this report:- To compare the quality of concrete between precast concrete of box culvert and cast in-site-culverts. The quality will be based on the finishing for the box culvert.- To compare the time needed for construction of box culverts using precast concrete method and cast in-site- method. The time will include the production of the elements of the box culvert and assembling the box culvert.- To compare the cost of constructing precast concrete of box culvert and cast in-site-culverts. The cost will be based on construction of the box culvert and the transport of materials required for the construction. Note: The whole work must be answered/write related to the Aims & Objectives. Work required from you: Chapter 1: Introduction- Read it to understand the idea of the project.Chapter 2: Literature Review (5500 words)- For the chapter 2, you’ll find it inside “My work” attachment. Rewrite all again in very fine details with neat and clean information, add more technical details. Plus, make it ending with appropriate way.Chapter 3: Methodology (1500 words)Hypothesis: to design it:- We should identify if sth happens, what will result?- We test sth from my experience and except what will happen? For chapter 3 Must be submitted on “Wednesday” or before.Chapter 4: Calculations and Result (1400 words)Chapter 5: Conclusion (600 words)Chapter 6: Recommendations and future work (500 words)Appendix: Questionnaire Sample *** Words count = 9500 words. *** In-Text Citations and References using APA format. *** I’ve upload two Projects samples named “Effects of the Recent Financial Crises on Construction Projects in Public Sector-converted” and “Measuring Value Engineering Best Practice in Oman-converted” so you can refer to them to keep you clearer about the work.
