A Cost Effective and Efficient Storm Water Gutter and a Novel Honeycomb Wall Using Pre-Cast Elements

Abstract:

This paper discusses two innovative designs involving pre-cast concrete elements.The first design, described in Section 1, is of storm water gutters assembled from pre-cast elements that reduce construction time and total cost. Simple and optimum interlocking elements used to build these gutters permit ease of stacking and transport of elements, quick assembly, and possibility of dismantling the gutters if and when necessary. The bottomless design lets water seep into the ground to achieve water harvesting. A table of comparison of the present design with state of the art pre-cast and masonry gutters clearly shows the advantage of the former on many accounts.The second design, described in Section 2, is of a pre-cast slotted block as a unit for constructing cost effective honeycomb walls that provide ventilation and light yet resisting entry of rain water.
