What is a precast concrete sandwich wall panel? A typical panel has two outer concrete layers, or "wythes", separated by rigid insulation (Figure 2), and is cast in a long-line form in a plant (Figure 3). One or both wythes are usually prestressed to reduce cracking and improve performance (Figure 4).

The production of concrete is continuous precision work. A successful precast operation demands a proper understanding and management of concrete technology. Since concrete is the primary raw material for precast products and structures, it has an important influence on quality, production effectiveness and costs.

Sep 17,  · U.S. Patent 8,677,720, “Precast concrete pile with carbon fiber reinforced grid,” is a new technology promising to dramatically extend the service life of precast concrete bridge piles by

Stamped concrete and concrete dyes can be used in a variety of concrete applications, including retaining walls and bridges. At Scott System, we provide several custom concrete construction solutions specifically tilt-up, precast, and cast-in-place applications.

RFID for Precast Concrete Manufacturers . Precast concrete companies are now using passive UHF RFID tags to create an electronic quality-control trail and better manage their inventory. TRACKCON A powerful wireless solution for tracking concrete structures • Know where each item in your inventory is located without spending hours in the yard.

Considering that modern, high-quality concrete can last for 100 years, the environmental impact is relatively small. Precast concrete technology is quickly nearing a point where it might be considered the greenest building material of all, and therefore an important resource as global culture moves in a more earth-friendly direction.

One of North America s most fragmented and regionalized industries precast concrete has a new national player with the formation of the AltusGroup (www.altusprecast.com), a first-ever national partnership of precast companies.Conceived to manufacture and market the new CarbonCast technology for precast concrete as well as future precast innovations, AltusGroup provides a national network of

For concrete bridges, the use of precast components can accelerate construction, reduce traffic disruption, improve quality, increase durability, and enhance site safety with reduced environmental impacts. One of the main concerns in application of precast concrete in regions with moderate-to-high seismicity is to ensure

Precast concrete can be used for a variety of products and design options for both above ground and underground construction. Seldom has the concrete construction industry been introduced to products that completely transform existing construction methods. Many of the Meadow Burke engineered lifting accessories have revolutionized the concrete

CONSTRUCTION. TECHNOLOGY UNIT 1 construction systems STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS DEFINITION: The term structural system or structural frame refers to load resisting sub system of a structure. The structural system transfers loads through interconnected structural components or members. Many different structural systems are used in architecture. The type of system used depends on the building's needs.

In this study, the numerical analysis method was proposed to analyse the structural behaviour of bridge columns under various impact loading conditions. A parametric study of vehicle impact simulation was carried out to determine the impact loading-time functions. According to the impact simulation results, five-point piecewise linear approximation is proposed and validated.

Before going for the precast concrete method you need to check the following points type and size of the building. Generally, the precast concrete method is used for bigger-size projects, check the reputations of members, if the same type of floors is there, then you can go for precast technology otherwise it is not feasible.

Precast concrete is a construction product produced by casting concrete in a reusable mold or "form" which is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to the construction site and lifted into place ("tilt up"). In contrast, cast-in-place concrete is poured into site-specific forms and cured on site. Precast stone is distinguished from precast concrete using a fine aggregate in the
