CSIR-SERC successfully transferred Laced Steel-Concrete Composite System – patented technology to M/s. Modern Prefab System Private Limited

INN/Chennai, @Infodeaofficial

One of CSIR’s national laboratories, the CSIR-Structural Engineering Research Centre (CSIR-SERC), which is renowned for its state-of-the-art structural engineering research, has successfully transferred its ground-breaking technology, Laced Steel Concrete Composite System M/s. Delhi-based Modern Prefab System Private Limited.

The LSCC system is a novel solution that offers improved performance and cost-effectiveness in comparison to conventional systems. It was created by scientists from CSIR-SERC’s Advanced Protective Structures and Mechanics Laboratory (APSML). The technology, which can be prefabricated, has a lot of potential and may be used directly for structures that can withstand dynamic loads that are applied quickly. It can also be used to create other structures. Both India and the United States have patented the technique.

• Key Features of the LSCC System:

  • Novelty: Devoid of welding by connecting the components in a novel way
  • Efficiency: The system is capable of improving support rotation, nearly 4 times that of conventional reinforced concrete flexural components.
  • Environmental Impact: New configuration with enhanced performance, indirectly amounting to saving of natural resources.
  • Scalability and Adaptability: The modular design of the LSCC system enables easy scaling and integration into wall and roof panels.

  The primary creator of the LSCC system, Dr. N. Anandavalli, Director of the CSIR-Structural Engineering Research Centre, signed the technology transfer. The managing director, Mr. Aditya Kapoor, signed on behalf of Delhi’s M/s. Modern Prefab System Private Limited. Present were Mr. Pankaj Agnihotri of M/s. Modern Prefab System Private Limited, Delhi; Dr. S. Parivallal, Advisor(M); Dr. Amar Prakash; Shri. V. Rameshkumar; APSML scientists; Shri. R. D. Sathish Kumar; Smt. Chitra Sankaran, Principal Technical Officers; and Smt. Soniya, Technical Officer, Business and Knowledge Management and Development division of CSIR-SERC.
