Introduction
The major cost increase in house built is due to two factors, they
are:
i. Increase in basic cost of materials
ii. Increase in labour costs.

Observations
The two types of connections tested proved to be
efficient and reliable systems that simplify and speed
up the construction of precast concrete frame
structures.
Connections should be carefully designed where the
impact or dynamic forces are much higher.
Building can be constructed upto 4 storey
height(12m) without extra care at joints.
Used in structure where strength is not major criteria.
