Multi‐storey Precast Concrete Framed Structures

Multi-storey Precast Concrete Framed Structures

Kim S. Elliott

Preference :

Of all the major forms of multi-story building construction, structural precast concrete is perhaps

understood by the fewest practitioners. This is a significant ‘blind spot’ in that part of the building

profession associated with the design and construction of large or small multi-storey precast and

prestressed concrete frames. This is due mainly to two particular factors:

 The notion of using a modular form of construction, such as precast concrete, is not widely taught

at the undergraduate level because it is thought of as being too restrictive in the wider application of

theory and design instruction.

 Precast concrete design is usually carried out in-house by a small number of specialist engineers

employed by the precast manufacturing companies.
