The book reflects the current situation in precast concrete
construction. Besides general observations regarding building with
precast concrete elements, the book focuses first and foremost on
the boundary conditions for the design of precast concrete
structures, loadbearing elements and fa?ades. Connections and
specific structural and constructional issues are covered in detail
and stability of precast concrete structures is another central
theme. The requirements brought about by the emergence of the
European Single Market are explained and the diverse possibilities
for fa?ade design are presented. A chapter on the production
processes provides the reader with an indispensable insight into
the characteristics of this form of industrialised building.

The book is a practical tool for engineers, but certainly also
architects and students.

One of the authors' intentions is to demonstrate to engineers and
architects the possibilities that factory prefabrication can offer,
and hence pave the way towards the economic application and ongoing
development of precast concrete construction.
