Items related to Multi-storey Precast Concrete Framed Structures
Synopsis
Precast concrete design, manufacture and construction is carried out to the highest standards of exactness--and yet much of the knowledge is restricted to the precast industry itself. Hence there is a need for a comprehensive reference work for structural engineers and architects.
This book provides just such a work, covering the design, detailing and construction of precast skeletal structures.
Architectural matters, such as integrated structural building facades, are explained against a background of recent case studies. Structural design methods featured include frame and component analysis, precast floors, composite construction, diaphragm action, connections and frame stability. There are also chapters on design for robustness and temporary stability during frame erection.
The text contains state-of-the-art information, together with numerous worked examples borne out of the author's many years of practical experience in precast concrete design and construction. These include the preliminary design of a four story structure, and over 14 problems in connection design alone.

From the Back Cover
The use of precast concrete in multi-storey buildings is now widely regarded as an economic, structurally sound and versatile form of construction. However, much of the design knowledge is restricted to the precast industry itself and there is a need for a detailed reference work for structural engineers and architects. This book provides just such a work.
