PRECAST CONCRETE:

Prestressed Concrete

- concrete reinforced by pretensioning or

posttensioning high-strength steel
tendons within their elastic limit to
actively resist a service load

Types of Prestressed concrete:

Pretensioned or precast concrete

Post-tensioned concrete

Precast Concrete

A concrete which has been prepared for

casting, cast and cured in a location which is
not its final destination

A concrete member/product that is cast and

cured in a place other than where it is to be
installed in a structure
PRECAST CONCRETE:

‘Cast in situ’ means cast in the actual position to

be occupied in the completed structure.
PRECAST CONCRETE:

PRECAST CONCRETE STRUCTURES

An assemblage of precast elements which, when

suitably connected together, form a 3D
framework capable of resisting gravitation and
wind loads
