TRENDS AND DIRECTIONS OF DEVELOPMENT OF PREFABRICATED CONSTRUCTION IN THE WORLD AND DOMESTIC PRACTICE OF CIVIL CONSTRUCTION

Abstract

The main objective of the state policy in the sphere of civil construction in the Republic of Belarus is to increase the volume of civil construction and decrease its cost. The criteria of building in the shortest possible time, reducing its cost and providing the population with affordable housing is more consistent with the prefabricated construction, the wide possibilities of which are time-tested. In the article the results of studies of distribution of volumes of civil construction depending on the technology of erection of buildings in the Republic of Belarus are presented and the comparison of volumes of prefabricated construction in the world practice of housing construction is presented. The actual directions and tendencies of scientific research in the field of prefabricated construction, the structure of citation of publications, key researchers, countries and institutions by involvement in research in the field of prefabricated construction are determined. The results showed that prefabricated construction is one of the most intensively developing and promising areas of research in the field of construction and building technology in the world.
