As the development of Malaysia improved, the economic growth has created a higher demand in
construction activities especially housing industry. Hence, modern technologies or new ideas are
introduced to cope with high consumer’s needs. One of the new technologies introduced was the
Industrialised Building System or IBS system.

Industrialised Building System (IBS) in Malaysia is defined as a construction technique which the
manufacturing of the structural components happen in a factory or supervised environment, both off site
or on the site, then transported, placed and assembled into construction works. The concept of the IBS is
based on buildability, economy and standardization of components. The government has made it
compulsory for all government projects to contain 70% of IBS system in the construction work. In
Malaysia, there are 6 main IBS which are

1. Precast System
2. Formwork System
3. Steel Framing System
4. Block Work System
5. Prefabricated Timber Framing
6. Innovative System

Base on these few types of IBS system, we will design a 3-storey apartment block in this group
assignment and document our understanding in this report.

3.1 Precast Concrete System

Precast concrete system is the system which the construction product was produced in a
controlled environment and standardized, and then was transported to the site for
assembly. These structural components are manufactured by industrial methods
according in mass production to build a large number of buildings in more efficient way
either in time or cost.

3.1.1. Feature

The main features of this construction system are:

1. The division and specialization of the human workforce.
2. The use of tools, machinery, and other equipment, usually automated, in the
production of standard, interchangeable parts and products.
3. Requires interaction between the design phase and production planning in order to
speed up the construction process which is to design buildings with a regular
configuration plan and elevation.
4. More economical
5. Faster and less affected by adverse weather conditions compared to site-cast
Diagram 3.1.1 Industrialized Building System
concrete.
6. Controlled environment casting allows increased efficiency, high quality control and
greater control on finishes.

3.1.2. Open Prefabrication System

The system is based on the use of the basic structural elements to form whole or part of
a building. There are two categories of ab systems depending on the extent of
prefabrication used in the construction. However the system that we used are full prefab
open system. In this system, almost all the structural components are prefabricated.
3.1.3 Elements of Precast Concrete System

A) Hollow Core Panels

A wall panel is defined as a single piece of material in this case is concrete usually flat and cut into a rectangular shape. A prefabricated wall panel is a panel
fabricated at an offsite location.

The type of panels that are used are hollow core panels. Hollow core panels are named after its circular voids or cores which run throughout the slab in them that
reduce weight and cost, and also may be utilized for electrical or mechanical runs. Hollow core can be installed either horizontally or vertically to provide an
effective wall cladding system, often used with steel structures.

The units have a smooth finish and maximum capacity of 2.3 kn/sqm over a 16m span. They are available in standard 1200mm widths and in depths of 150, 200,
250, 300 and 400 mm. In our case, we used 200mm for external walls and 150 mm for internal walls. They can be used effectively in all types of building providing
a fast and cost-effective structure. This helps keep the construction process on track and adds another layer of efficiency to the project. Walls can be classified as
infill or cantilever. Infill walls rely on connecting composite action with the frame which is beam and column while cantilever walls or boxes act as deep beams to
which the frame is attached. The other benefits of hollow core panels are:

1. Quick and efficient in constructing walls

2. Complete geometric flexibility
3. Wide range of architectural finishes

Figure 3.1.3.1. Example of hollow core panels on site. Diagram 3.1.3.2. Section of hollow core panel.
B) Hollow Core Slab

Precast concrete slab is a horizontal member, a large, thick, flat piece of stone or concrete which
is rectangular in shape. It is used for floor and roof deck. Similar to the wall, hollow core slab is
used as flooring in our building.

Hollow core slab is known as a voided slab and these voids add structural stability, reduce
weight and therefore, reduce cost. The result is sound proof, fire rated, low maintenance system
and shallow depths. Hence, it is a precast slab of prestressed concrete typically used in the
construction of floors in multistory apartment buildings. The precast concrete slab has tubular
voids extending the full length of the slab. The slabs are 200mm in thickness and 1200mm in
width. The reinforcing steel wire rope provides resistance to bending moment from loads. Slabs
in prestressed concrete are usually produced in lengths of up to 200 meters. Hollow core can
spans up to 16.5 m which minimizes column requirements and aid design flexibility. Lower cost,
lower weight, fast assembly.

Factory production decreases dependency on weather conditions and increases programmed

planning reliability.
Eliminates the requirement for costly excavation for ground floors, removes the need for Figure 3.1.3.5. Hollow core slab
provision/ compaction of infill material and provides an immediate dry working platform
It is not necessary to provide joints in the precast construction.

Diagram 3.1.3.4. The voids as the services systems.. Diagram 3.1.3.6. Dimensions of Hollow core slab.
C) Precast Concrete Columns

Precast concrete columns are designed in a modular form in order to be made into different heights. Generally, the widths will be 12”, 18” and 24” and 12” was used in
this case as the building is just a small apartment. Columns are not structural, but can be used as such only after a structural engineer has adapted them to a
building. Precast columns are available as single storey corbel column or multi storey corbel column. Rectangular single storey corbel columns are used for the site.

columns. columns on site. beam connections

D) Precast Concrete Beams

Beams are used as ledges for other forms of precast flooring to sit
on. They are usually manufactured to suit each particular situation.
Beams can be either reinforced or prestressed, however, in our case,
reinforced concrete beams are used.

Rectangular beams are used and these beams get their name from
the end profile. These beams are usually used to span clear sections.

E) Precast Staircase

Concrete precast stairs are manufactured from bespoke

moulds and can be produced as straight flights with separate
or attached landings. There are many advantages with the use
of precast stairs, over in-situ stairs. For example:

1. High quality, factory produced products

2. Fast and easy installation
3. No propping or expensive, time-consuming formwork
4. Immediate access for follow-on trades
5. Inherent sound and fire resistance

flight assembly on site. concrete stairs.

F) Toilet Block

Boxtype construction system are used to construct the toilet pod. In this system, the toilet blocks are prefabricated and erected at site. This system derives its stability
and stiffness from the box unit which are formed by the four adjacent walls. Walls are jointed to make rigid connections among themselves. The box unit rests on the
plinth foundation which is precast type.

Diagram 3.1.3.14. Different types of units of toilet blocks Figure 3.1.3.15. The interior of the toilet block.
3.1.4. Frame System

Precast frames are usually constructed using either linear elements or spatial beam-column sub assemblages. The use of linear elements generally means placing
the connecting faces at the beam-column junctions. The beams can be seated on corbels at the columns, for ease of construction and to help the shear transfer
from the beam to the column. The beam-column joints accomplished in this way are hinged. However, rigid beam-column connections are used in some cases, when
the continuity of longitudinal reinforcement through the beam-column joint needs to be ensured. The components of a precast reinforced concrete. The components
of the system are shown below.

3.2 Formwork System
Formwork is the use of support structures and moulds to create structures out of concrete which is poured into the moulds. Formwork can be made using moulds out of
steel, wood, aluminium and prefabricated forms.

3.2.1. Jumping formwork system ( Lift Shaft )

Climbing formwork is a special type of formwork for large vertical concrete structures. Climbing
formworks will represent an effective solution for structures that require seamless walls, or their
form is very repetitive. There are several types of climbing formwork, depending on the type of
building being built. They can move on their own, using hydraulic or electric jacks, commonly known
as ‘self –climbing formwork’, or they can be relocated with cranes and other equipment.

The lift shaft formwork is used for installing and stripping internal planking in lift shafts with no need
to dismantle the individual components. It allows to remove the planking set easily from the lift shaft
and move it with the crane to any construction site area.

3.2.2. Feature

The main features of this construction system are:

• Assembly easily
• Minimizes labor time and has a better productivity rate
• The fully enclosed platform system offers plenty of space for fast, safe working.
• Stripped formwork can be clean and reused
• Transportation is convenient Diagram 3.2.1.1. Jumping Formwork System
• High-quality surface finishes can be achieved
• Minimize the usage of scaffolding and temp work platform.
• Increase construction speed is obtained by allowing the vertical and horizontal parts of a building to be built concurrently
• It does not need additional supports to the formwork (it is supported by the walls just poured)
• It can be used during almost all type of weather
3.2.3. Components of Climbing Formworks

Climbing formworks shall be assembled or might be rented along with the following components:

Platforms- A raised level surface for workers

Hydraulic system- enables large sets of formwork to be lifted simultaneously without needing a crane
Climbing rail- To allows hydraulic climbing without detaching the structure from the wall
Pull-push prop- to align and support wall formwork.
Formwork- To mould the concrete

3.2 Steel Framing System
Steel framing system is used extensively in the fast-track construction of skyscrapers. Apart from that, it is extensively
used for light steel trusses consisting of cost-effective profiled cold formed channels and steel portal frame systems
as alternatives to the heavier traditional hot-rolled sections.

3.2.1 Feature
The main features of this construction system are:
• They are super-quick to build at site, as it is prefabricated at the factory.
• They are lightweight material. They are saving the foundation required and easily for on-site handling
• They are flexible, which makes them very good at resisting dynamic (changing) forces such as wind or
earthquake forces.
• A wide range of ready-made structural sections are available
• They can be made to take any kind of shape, and clad with any type of material
• They are durable and low in maintenance.
• They are recyclable.

3.2.5 Fabrication process

1. Cutting
There have a few tools to cut the steel of truss such as plasma cutters, lasers, and waterjets. Saws create straight cuts, while lasers and plasmas are reserved for more
complex shapes and curves. The hole punches by high-pressure notches.

2. Forming
To form trusses, both press baking and rolling techniques are used. These allows for an enormous range of metal thickness, sizes and shapes for versatile applications.
Standard trusses use a series of triangle. Truss type is built according to its purpose.

3. Assembly
This is the final process to weld pieces together, bring to the final product together to serve as a truss. Experienced truss fabricator can create optimal trusses that are
lightweight without compromising structural stability. They must also meet stringent building compliance codes.

Installation details
Diagram 4.3.1. Showing the
handling of the hollow core slab
HCS slabs are installed on a leveling neoprene strip, fastened to the bearing structure. Prior to using metal hanging rope
installation the slabs on wall slabs, the smoothness of the bearing surface should be checked.

To level a resting surface, plastic or metal (50mm x 75 mm) leveling plates-spacers of thickness
from 1 to 20 mm should be used. The overall height of the leveling plates should be not less than
15 mm so that the concrete may run under the resting part of the slab.

One should pay attention to the fact that the leveling plates should be placed under vertical
walls of the floor slab.

 6. Conclusion

In a nutshell, constructing a building with IBS can speed up the construction period. If the building is designated to use IBS in the
construction, most of the materials can be saved to the lowest wastage through a good IBS design. Before deciding the use of IBS
in the construction, the architect should consider the standardized structural members used to make use of them fully in the
construction. Besides, the consideration of transporting the materials should also take place before the construction starts, as
storage is a critical problem in the construction site as well.

There are always problems during the erection on site, the connection between the structural members, openings which needs
extrusion of holes on the precast concrete, and the minor variance in real world construction with the digital which may lead to the
gap between the structural members or the structural members could not fit in. That is why skilled labours are needed or required
in the IBS construction.

Lastly, construction using IBS is more durable and requires lower maintenance compared to the Cast-in situ construction system.
However, one must have a well thoroughly plan before the implementation of IBS in the construction, otherwise it will be a disaster
to the construction team, as many on site construction problems will arise and need to be encountered.
