Advantages of Concrete
5
Concrete is Ageless Concrete is one of the oldest
and widely used of construction materials and
possesses many inherent qualities which can be
used to benefitthe client, designerand
contractor.

Variety of Surface Finishes Building with precast
concrete provides an extraordinary range of
surface finishes, providing the opportunity for
architectural expression to go hand in hand with
structural integrity.
7
Flexibility of Shape and Form Concrete can be
molded into any shape. This capability can be
used to provide custom made design solutions to
specific problems and also aesthetically pleasing
finishes.
8
Quality Control Because precast concrete products
typically are produced in a controlled
environment, they exhibit high quality and
uniformity.
9
Availability Precast concrete products can be
ordered from manufacturers in most regions in the
United States. Precast components are
manufactured in advance, stored, and are readily
available when needed at the job site.
10
Strength The strength of precast concrete
gradually increases over time. Precast exterior
cladding can easily be designed to handle
structural building loads, thereby reducing the
need for other structural components.
11
Durability Studies have shown that concrete
products can provide a service life in excess of
100 years. This is extremely important when
calculating life-cycle costs for a project.
12
Fire Resistance Precast concrete is
noncombustible. Concrete is naturally and
inherently fire resistant and needs no additional
application of fire protection.
13
UV Sensitivity Unlike some other materials,
precast concrete does not degrade from exposure
to sunlight. This is extremely beneficial for
above-ground applications.
14
Chemical Resistance Precast concrete is resistant
to most substances. Precast concrete products can
be designed to withstand anticipated corrosive
agents.
15
Weather Resistance Precast concrete is
well-suited for exposure to all types of weather
conditions. Precast concrete products produced in
a quality-controlled environment offer superior
watertightness.
16
Reduced Weather Dependency Precast concrete
increases efficiency because weather will not
delay production. In addition, weather conditions
at the jobsite do not significantly affect the
schedule.
17
Ease of Installation The modular nature of
precast concrete, allows structures of almost any
size to be accommodated. Precast products are
designed and manufactured for simple connections
and fast installation.
18
Precast Concrete isEnvironmentally
Friendly Concrete consists of naturally occurring
materials, produces no emissions and needs no
toxic preservatives. This is becoming an
increasingly important issue.

The Great Paradigm Shift to Sustainability
The Great Paradigm Shift to Sustainability
20
What is Sustainability Anyway?
A simple concept, Reduce, Reuse,
Recycle Sustainability means living and working
in a manner that does the least harm to the earth.
A good description is
infinitely beneficial.
21
Sustainability A World Event?
The most acceptable definition emerged in 1987 in
the U.N. World Commission on Environment and
Development Brundtland Report (Our Common
Future) sustainable development is that
development that meets the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs.
22
Precast Concrete and Sustainability
Precast concrete contributes to green building
practices in significant ways. The low
water-cement ratios possible with precast
concrete means it can be extremely durable. The
thermal mass of concrete allows shifting of
heating and cooling loads in a structure to help
reduce mechanical system requirements.
23
Precast Concrete and Sustainability
Because precast concrete is factory-made, there
is little waste created in the plant and it
reduces construction waste and debris on site,
reducing construction IAQ concerns. Load-carrying
capacities, optimized cross sections, and long
spans possible with precast concrete members help
eliminate redundant members, and concrete readily
accommodates recycled content.
24
Is Precast Concrete Energy-Efficient?
The thermal mass of precast concrete absorbs and
releases heat slowly, shifting air conditioning
and heating loads to allow smaller, more
efficient HVAC systems. Insulation is often used
in architectural panels and sandwich wall panels
to increase thermal efficiency, with continuous
insulation in walls being possible. The resulting
savings of heating and cooling costs can be
significant.
25
Precast concrete is increasingly being recognized
for its strong environmental benefits in support
of creative and effective sustainable development.
When considering the lifetime environmental
impact of a building material extraction,
production, construction, operation, demolition
and recycling, concrete is an excellent choice to
meet these goals.
Abundant Natural Resources The primary
ingredients of concrete - cement, crushed stone
or gravel, sand and water are generally plentiful
in most locations.
26
Concrete Buildings Reduce Energy Use   Cold
Climates Moderate Climates Warm
Climates    Insulated precast concrete wall
systems provide high R-value and thermal mass
with low air infiltration to provide superior
thermal efficiency and optimal energy performance
over the long life of the building. HVAC can also
be designed with smaller capacity
equipment. Precast interior and exterior finishes
can be an integral ingredient, reducing costs and
energy consumption during construction and for
ongoing maintenance.
Studies indicate that 80 or more of the
greenhouse gases generated from structures are
released through energy produced for their
ongoing heating and cooling.
