A significant part of composite concrete viaducts was built in the 50s and 60s. This has led to an increasing need for the reassessment of the precast concrete beam bridges in the Netherlands. Many of those bridges are nowadays subjected to higher traffic loads and consequently, have a certain risk of not complying with the currently used design...

Precast concrete appears to be promising in dealing with delays in housing construction, yet long lead times are apparent in this industry. Lead time refers to the time that elapses between placing and receiving an order. The construction company Janssen de Jong recognizes the problem of sub-components’ long lead times in precast concrete house...

Our knowledge of precast concrete facades is becoming more relevant each day.<br/>Buildings with precast concrete façades are relatively new in relation to monument listing, due to architectural and constructive innovations being related to these façades. However, these buildings are also next in line for demolition due to their age and...

In this report, the applicability of Precast Concrete Sandwich panels (PCSPs) is analysed and improved. This is done by a multitude of methods: a literature study is performed, an advanced, non-linear Finite Element model and simple linear analytical model are developed, and calculations have been performed on a design-structure from Lievense |...

The precast concrete sector is growing and to continue this growth it is necessary that new innovations, ideas, technologies etc. are developed to improve the functionality of precast concrete structures. Many applications can be found nowadays for all different kinds of precast concrete elements. One such application for example is precast...

The construction of buildings with free-form concrete surfaces can be accompanied with relatively high costs due to the production of uniquely shaped curved concrete elements. Delft University of Technology researches a method to produce such elements in a cost-efficient way using a re-usable flexible mould. The method requires a flexible...

The number of high-rise buildings and their corresponding height are increasing in the world. 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...

The construction of free form building stagnated, due to the high construction cost of it. Double curved surfaces are only applied at projects with a high profile and projects above average budget during years. The problem with double curved surfaces is mainly the formwork. The present days used techniques to construct these formworks are...

Objective of the thesis is the study of the influence of the connection characteristics on the seismic performance of precast concrete structures. To that end a six storey high building with moment resisting frame was analyzed and designed. The precast concrete building consists of 3x6m span frames at 7.8m centre-to-centre in the transverse...
