Cement Prefabricated Houses for Schools

There are application cases of cement prefabricated houses in school construction, and they have certain advantages, but early cement prefabricated panel walls have been banned.

I. Advantages of Cement Prefabricated Houses in School Construction

1. Structural Strength and Safety: In the solution provided by Jiangxi Jintai Prefabricated Building Co., Ltd. for school classrooms, the main body of the classroom is made of C30 high-strength concrete and national standard threaded steel frames, which are integrally cast in a factory using precision steel molds. The walls, roofs, and floors form a complete load-bearing structure, possessing the same structural strength as traditional cast-in-place structures, with good earthquake and wind resistance, and a designed service life of up to 70 years. The cement prefabricated buildings in Shaanxi also adopt a reinforced concrete integral structural design, which is more robust when cast in one piece. The overall earthquake resistance of the concrete houses is three times that of traditional red brick houses, providing a safe and reliable teaching environment for schools.
2. Construction Convenience and Flexibility: The construction of cement prefabricated houses is not affected by seasons, which can significantly shorten the construction period and reduce interference with the normal teaching order of schools. Moreover, the cement prefabricated buildings in Shaanxi can be hoisted and reused twice, improving the reuse rate of the buildings. At the same time, the products come in a variety of specifications, such as 3.3 meters x 6.6 meters, with a floor height of 3 meters and an additional 1.2-meter eave. The reserved openings for doors and windows in the house walls can be adjusted at will to meet the construction needs of different functional areas in schools.
3. Cost Advantage: Compared with traditional brick structures, cement prefabricated houses have certain cost advantages, helping schools complete construction tasks within a limited budget.

II. Problems with Early Cement Prefabricated Panel Walls Early cement prefabricated panel walls, which were widely used in brick-concrete structural buildings, were divided into solid and hollow types but had numerous problems. They had poor thermal insulation performance, making it difficult to meet schools' requirements for indoor temperature comfort. Their structural stability was insufficient, and their load-bearing capacity was weak, potentially posing safety hazards. The gaps between panels were prone to cracking and water leakage, affecting the service life and normal use of the buildings. Therefore, such cement prefabricated panel walls have now been banned in the construction field.
