Lifetime access included — re-download anytime. Paper Book: Printed and shipped to your delivery address in India. Expect standard courier delivery timelines.

Is this book relevant for Indian engineering practice and IS codes?

Yes. 3D-LABS books are specifically written for Indian engineering context. Content includes Indian Standards (IS 456, IS 800, IS 1893, SP 46, etc. where relevant to the topic), Indian industry norms, and practical examples from Indian project environments. This distinguishes 3D-LABS books from generic international textbooks that may not reflect Indian code requirements or local practice.

Who authored this book and what is their expertise?

This book is authored by the engineering team at 3D-LABS — a multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy with offices in Trichy (Tamil Nadu), Hyderabad, and London. 3D-LABS provides engineering design, analysis, and consulting services to industry, giving its authors direct, current knowledge of engineering practice.

The Paper Book is a physical printed copy shipped to your address — identical content, ideal for desk reference and annotation. The Paper Book is priced at ₹700 more than the eBook PDF to cover printing and shipping costs.

Precast and Modular Construction for India is a 270-page field-tested engineering handbook from 3D-LABS — covering precast concrete element design and connection detailing, modular structural systems, factory QC, and on-site assembly logistics for IS and fib Model Code compliance. Every concept is backed by worked examples, engineering diagrams, and the exact Indian and international standards you’ll be held to.

Why engineers choose this book

It’s written the way real projects work: no filler, just the connection details, design formulas, and decisions an experienced engineer would walk a colleague through — so you can design it, cast it, and erect it with confidence.

Who is this book for?

Practising civil and structural engineers, precast and modular construction teams, contractors, and final-year engineering students and GATE aspirants who want India-relevant, application-first knowledge rather than generic theory.

What standards does this book reference?

IS 15916:2011 (precast production and erection), IS 456:2000 (RCC), IS 1893 Part 1:2016 (seismic), IS 1343:2012 (prestressed concrete), and fib Model Code 2010.

What is the hollow-core slab design formula?

w = 8*Mu/L2 – w_self, where Mu from IS 1343:2012 prestressed concrete. Deflection: delta = 5wL4/(384EI) <= L/250 per IS 456 Clause 23.2.

What Indian logistics content is included?

MoRTH/IRC ODC transport rules for precast delivery, IS 4926:2003 ready-mixed concrete, BIS certification for factory structural elements, and PMAY-U precast housing scheme benchmarks.
