What is Precast Concrete ? Precast concrete means a concrete member
that is cast and cured at a location other than its final designated location. The use of reinforced concrete is a relatively recent invention, usually dated to 1848 when jean-Louis Lambot became the first to use it. Joseph Monier, a French gardener, patented a design for reinforced garden tubs in 1868, and later patented reinforced concrete beams and posts for railway and road guardrails.

Advantages of Precast
Concrete Construction
Very rapid speed of erection
Good quality control
Entire building can be precast-walls, floors , beams , etc.
Rapid construction on site
High quality because of the controlled conditions in the factory
Prestressing is easily done which can reduce the size and number of the structural members.

Disadvantages of Precast
Concrete Construction Very heavy members
Camber in beams and slabs
Very small margin for error
Connections may be difficult
Somewhat limited building design flexibility
Because panel size is limited, precast concrete can not be used for two-way structural systems.
Economics of scale demand regularly shaped buildings.
Need for repetition of forms will affect building design.
Joints between panels are often expensive and complicated.
Skilled workmanship is required in the application of the panel on site.
Cranes are required to lift panels.

Popular Uses of Precast
Concrete
Concrete curtain walls
As an exterior cladding (may include
exposed aggregate)
For structural walls
Ability to precast in three dimensions
allows precast panels to form parts of
mechanical systems

Weld Plates The most common method of attachment
of precast members is by use of steel weld plates. Typically, the precast members have embedded plates that can be used as welding surfaces for loose connecting plates or angles (see below):

Rebar and Grout Used typically with slabs, reinforcing
bars are spliced into slabs and grouted
in place (see below):
