About the 1st book
Precast, Prestressing & Post-Tensioning Technology
Precast, Prestressing & Post-Tensioning Technology by Nirajan Kumar Jha is an in-depth exploration of precast concrete technology, an innovative construction method that is revolutionizing the industry. The book begins by explaining what precast concrete is—concrete cast in reusable molds, cured in a controlled environment, and transported to construction sites for assembly. It delves into its numerous advantages, such as saving construction time, ensuring quality control, cost-effectiveness, and enhanced durability.
The book highlights how the use of prestressed precast concrete improves load-bearing capacity, allows for larger spans, and reduces structural member size. By simplifying the construction process, it boosts productivity and safety, while minimizing maintenance requirements. Detailed discussions on the environmental benefits and resistance to factors like corrosion and impact provide a holistic view of its durability.

About the 2nd book
Precast Concrete Technology (Future Of Civil Engineering)
The PRECAST TECHNOLOGY & HOLLOW CORE SLABS method statements describe the steps involved production, transportation, storage and erection of tilt precast elements and HOLLOW CORE SLABS including grouting at the site. To avoid labour shortage, time delays and with an aim to deliver quality products, developers and builders are now adopting precast technology. The main advantages of precast technology are quality, speed of construction, and a value-for-money product. The use of such technology helps in saving up to 64 per cent of the time taken for similar projects using normal construction methods and technology. In other words, if normal brick-and-mortar method takes one year to complete a project, the precast method takes about four months. The precast technology has been imported from Germany, Finland and Dubai to give a boost to reality sector in India and develop the skill set of Indian labour in foreign technology.

This technology has already been proven and tested on foreign shores and now is going to share its benefits with Indian buyers. The whole precast process cost the company 10 per cent more than regular methods, however its commitment to deliver the project on time with quality work has driven them to use the precast so that buyers can get value for their hard earned money.
Through practical insights and data-driven analysis, this book serves as a valuable resource for engineers, architects, and construction professionals committed to reducing the industry's carbon footprint while advancing sustainable development.
About the 3rd book
Eco-friendly Building Construction For Reduction Of Global Warming
Eco-Friendly Building Construction for the Reduction of Global Warming delves into the pressing issue of climate change and the significant role the construction industry plays in contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption. Highlighting that the sector accounts for nearly 40% of global energy use and 30% of annual CO₂ emissions, the book underscores the urgent need for sustainable building practices.
The author examines the environmental impact of large-scale and high-rise constructions, offering in-depth research on how innovative slab systems, such as voided slabs, can drastically reduce emissions. By exploring the relationship between concrete cover thickness and a building’s life cycle, the book advocates for eco-friendly practices that prioritize both structural integrity and environmental sustainability.
