However, the highest building in the world with a load bearing precast structure is only 132m high (Het Strijkijzer in The Hague). Is this the maximum height of precast concrete or can we achieve greater heights with this building method? And how do the transport systems cope with the increased height of a precast structure? The feasibility of precast concrete in a high-rise building is investigated in this thesis by creating a structural and logistical design for the Zalmhaven tower (the reference project). By analysing and examining the differences between the precast and monolithic (cast in situ) structure, characteristic aspects of precast concrete have been denoted.
