Abstract:
In some remote locations, cast-in-place concrete can only be produced at high cost due to the lack of batching facilities and raw materials. Thus, precast concrete is often the ideal material in such cases. This article describes the erection of a building by using plant produced structural components that were shipped to the site and assembled by post-tensioning techniques.
