Abstract:
In Melbourne, precast concrete construction has evolved to become one of the dominant forms of multi-storey construction. Flat panel loadbearing walling is often the preferred construction method for multi-storey residential buildings. A precast skeletal frame with precast flooring is common on multi-storey commercial buildings. This paper will illustrate the concepts that have been developed in Melbourne to suit the local market. The success of precast construction in Melbourne has been achieved by developing mixed construction methods incorporating precast systems along with other structural systems.
