Presentation on Precast Concrete Construction System
Every construction material & system has its own characteristics which to a greater or less extend influence the layout, span length, construction depth, stability system, ect. This is also the case for precast concrete , not only in comparison to steel, wood, & masonry structures, but also with respect to cast in-situ concrete. Theoretically, all joints between the precast units could be made in such a way that the completed precast structure has the same monolithic concept as a in-situ one. However, this is a wrong approach & one, which is very labour intensive & costly. If the full advantages of precast concrete are to be realized, the structure should be conceived according to its specific design philosophy.
long spans, appropriate stability concept, simple details, ect. Designers should from the very outset of the project consider the possibilities, restrictions & advantages of precast concrete, its detailing, manufacturer, transport, erection & serviceability stages before completing a design in precast concrete
