FRP wrapping provides confinement for the concrete and increases its ductility. It is expected to observe less concrete crushing, due to the gap opening, at the interface of base and second segments.

Precast concrete tower bases can potentially add 30 meters (almost 100 feet) to the height of a wind turbine tower.

The precast- concrete columns are connected to the in-situ bases via cast-in components, or “column shoes”. These are secured to the hold-down bolts in the same manner as a conventional steel ...

Below, managing director of Milbank Concrete Products, Lee Cowen, explores how innovations in precast concrete columns and stairs are transforming how the construction industry operates. “In the ...

Similar to the construction of a conventional steel structure, the precast- concrete columns are connected to hold-down bolts in the base. Suspended precast- concrete beams are then installed onto ...

Australian Architects Peter Poulet and Michael Harvey contemplate concrete’s green side with The Concrete House, a free-flowing assembly of gravity-secured precast columns and slabs that the ...

The seven-storey building has a steel-frame structure enclosed with self-supporting facades of precast concrete column and spandrel units. On the southern side, the units are faced with Portland stone ...

Located in large cities and rural areas, the more recent precast- concrete reservoir projects in the country range in sizes of between 10ML to 35ML. Together, these projects constitute about 350ML of ...
