WHAT IS PRECAST COMPONENTS TECHNOLOGY???

TYPES OF PRECAST COMPONENTS :  Large-panel systems  Frame systems Slab-column systems with walls Mixed systems 09
The demand for industrially precast components has been steadily The main features of this construction process are as follows:
increasing in recent years. The building industry benefits from high quality,

PRECAST CONSTRUCTION & SESMIC FORCES DESIGN
PRECAST WALLS
There is a general concern regarding the seismic performance of precast construction. It
is noticed that large panel construction performs better than frame system.

Roll No. 609110

However, in areas of high seismic risk, structures must be designed to respond safely to
the dynamic forces imparted into the structure. Innovations in joint design are
