F.W. Gifford
The paper reviews the development of the structural precast concrete industry in the U.K. over the last 15-20 years, specifically in terms of the activities of Concrete Limited, and generally as regards other companies, with particular regard to the development of an industrialized system of construction for various markets - apartments, car parks, offices, schools, etc., and flooring generally; it comments on current markets. It discusses the problems which have arisen as a result of Ronan Point and the subsquent activities including Building Regulations and existing Codes of Practice and the recently issued Unified Code based on Limit State Design. It briefly touches on differences between the U.K. and America.

Indstrialization of building affects each member of the building industry differently - consquently there is little agreement within the industry as to its exact nature. . .Introducing the performance concept increases the scope for innovation, but raises major difficulties of interpretation, demanding new skills within the industry.

The design of large panel shear walls must take into account the fact that the strength and stiffness characteristicsof the vertical joints between panels are different from those of the wall panels themselves. . .This paper summarizes current knowledge of the behaviour of vertical, keyed shear joints as observed on small test specimens and outlines the implications of this knowledge on the design of a complete wall system. The paper os based primarily on reference (17), which was prepared under the auspices of CIB Commission W23A, Loadbearing walls.
