Not generally included are the so-called industrialized precast products (standard shapes), such as double or single tees, Irish Precast Concrete Association Unit 8, Newlands Business Park, Clondalkin, Dublin 22. The principles established herein are, however, applicable to site-cast precast concrete or prestressed concrete. These component are cast in plant away from the building site, and then transported to the construction site for erection. The manual was developed for plant-produced, precast concrete members, or precast, prestressed concrete members manufactured by the process of pretensioning, post-tensioning, or a combination of the two methods. The system was developed in Kyrgyzstan in 1975. Precast concrete slabs, beams, and structural tees are one-way spanning units that may be supported by site cast concrete, precast concrete, or masonry bearing walls, or by steel, site cast concrete, or precast concrete frames. Connection tech- nology also plays a fundamental role. The successful performance of an architectural precast concrete building exterior is frequently Architectural precast concrete panels, through the application of finish, shape, color or texture, contribute to the architectural form and finished effect of a structure. Precast reinforced concrete frame with cruciform and linear beam elements (Seria 106) is an example of a frame system with precast beam-column subassemblages (Kyrgyzstan, WHE Report 33). Over the past several years there has been a concerted effort to coordinate the requirements in Concrete Basicsaims to provide a clear, concise explanation of all aspects of making quality concrete; from the Materials and Properties involved through Planning, Preparation, Finishing and Curing. This section provides information and resources related to design of precast concrete systems, as well as integration of precast with other systems.

Building with precast elements has numerous benefits, starting with the higher quality through production in the controlled environment of a precast plant, through to the time saved at the construction site. DEFINITION OF PRECAST CONCRETE Precast concrete structure (also known as “pre fabricated”) is built by connecting various precast elements such as beams, slabs, column and walls to make a complete buildings. 2 Tel: +353 1 464 0082 Fax: +353 1 464 0087 email: icf@iol.ie Web: www.irishconcrete.ie Foreword This publication is an introduction to precast concrete frames, their components, design and the principal considerations relative to their use and specification.

FEMA P-751, NEHRP Recommended Provisions: Design Examples 8-2 This chapter illustrates the seismic design of precast concrete members using the NEHRP Recommended Provisions (referred to herein as the Provisions) for buildings in several different seismic design categories. Connection Details (Adobe PDF File) Architectural Precast is a versatile cladding material that is ideal when superior aesthetics or construction economy is re-quired. Precast cladding offers high durability, low maintenance, excellent fire resistance and energy efficiency. The load-bearing structure consists of a precast reinforced concrete space frame and precast floor slabs.
