PRECAST PANEL DETAILING

Generally for multistory buldings, the wall panels also hold the building together structurally by bonding with the slabs. Enough renforcements or steel ferrules are placed in the panel to form structural bond with the slab when casting the panel in factory... The molded concrete panels attain full strength after a couple of weeks. But usually attains enough strength for transportation and erection within a few days... Precast panels are pieces of concrete fabricated in a factory or sometimes at site to architectural requirements and stringent engineering requirements, and to local building and engineering code to withstand structural loads, wind loads, earthquakes, and fire.
