A Review on Analysis and Design of Precast Structures

Abstract

In India, maximum constructional activities are done using the ancient convectional cast in situ methods since a very long time. As the country is developing in a fast pace, the requirement for housing is escalating and thus the construction industries are also blooming rapidly hence demanding faster and better construction methods. This increased demand can be matched by using one of the modern technologies, pre-cast concrete method. Study of literature shows a number of precedence of precast concrete method over other methods of construction. Most importantly, its remarkable and desirable seismic behavior. Accordingly, a detailed review of the related literatures is discussed and also the pros and attributes of the precast concrete method are mentioned henceforth.
