Reinforced concrete is concrete in
which reinforcement bars ("rebars")
or fibers have been incorporated to
strengthen the material that would
otherwise be brittle

A0o#t Precast
Theoretically
there are no
restrictions on
the use of
skeletal framed
precast
construction.
rregular and
challenging
architectural
designs on many
occasions are
more suitable to
precasting.
Suitability of precast construction
Off-site manufacture
The manufacturing of the ma!or
components of the building off"site
reduces the site labour component
dramatically# which in turn# reduces
site costs and time.
The erection crew# necessary for
precast construction# will usually
consist of only about $"% people#
rather than the several do&en
re'uired for in"site construction.
Quality Control
The production of
components off"
site# in a factory
environment
allows each of
the facets
involved in
manufacturing to
be strictly
controlled# and
hence# optimum
'uality to be
maintained.
(rchitectural
finishes including
colours# surface
finishes and
carefully moulded
surfaces allow the
designer
considerable
fle)ibility in the
overall aesthetic
appearance of a
structure compared
with conventional
methods.

The erection
procedure# and in
turn the design of
the structure is
very much
affected by the
weight and si&e of
the individual
components. The
transport of the
components is
typically by truck
and as such# it is
imperative to be
aware of allowable
component si&es
and weights. +ite
accessibility for
trucks must also
be considered
The selection of crane type and
si&e is an important ingredient to
the viability of the precast
structure. ,obile cranes are
generally the most economical#
with the new generation of high
capacity and highly maneuverable
machines allowing the use of
larger components and access to
more restricted sites.

Ten times stronger than a block foundation

They keep houses warmer and drier than
conventional foundations while adding
valuable living space and increasing resale

Precast columns can be produced as either
multi"storey corbelled columns or single
floor"to"floor elements
+ingle storey
reinforced
columns are
simple to
design# detail
and construct.
-)tra
reinforcem
ent is
usually
provided at
the top and
bottom of
the
column#
these
additional
ties act as
anti"
splitting

ent
The base
connection is
generally analy&ed
as a pin !oint and
due to connection
details the columns
tend to be
conservatively
si&ed#
manufactured with
high strength
concrete# and
reinforcement
typically limited to
four corner bars
with nominal ties.
This approach
results in e)tremely
simple components
that can easily be
mass"produced.
