Structural Precast Concrete - Skeletal Frame Structures
Precast concrete construction has managed to remain the least understood of the major forms of multi-storey building construction. Precast structures have been shown to be extremely cost effective, durable, stable, and of the highest quality and strength. Design, due to its specialised nature, often remains with the manufacturers and their personal engineers.
This paper is designed to give further insight into the benefits of structural precast concrete design and construction, with particular emphasis on skeletal frame structures.
