| description | Precast Concrete System which is mass produced either in factory or at site factory is widely used as building components. The
components are usually designed according to the specified standard shapes and dimensions. The components will then be
transported to the construction site to be placed according to the building design requirements. Previous studies indicate that without
proper planning at the design, manufacturing and construction stages of the precast system, the use of precast concrete system often
leads to building maintenance issues. This paper will discuss the factors that will lead to maintenance issues for building using
precast concrete system. These factors will be those that need to be considered at the design, manufacturing and construction stage
for the precast concrete system. Lastly, recommendations are proposed to be used by designers, contractors, manufacturers and
researchers who are involved in precast concrete system. |
