Precast Concrete Structures, Second Edition Kim S. Elliott
A precast concrete structure is an assemblage of precast elements which, when suitably connected together, form a
three-dimensional framework capable of resisting gravitation and wind (or even earthquake*) loads.
The framework is ideally suited to buildings such as offices, retail units, car parks, schools, stadia, and other such
buildings requiring minimal internal obstruction and multifunctional leasable space. The quantity of concrete in a
precast framework is less than 4% of the gross volume of the building, and two-thirds of this is in the floors. ln the case
of the shopping centre and car park shown in Figure 1.6, the precast concrete elements supporting vertical actions (ie.
gravity loads) are columns, beams, floor slabs, staircases, and stair-cores.
