Aesthetic & Thermally Efficient Precast Concrete High-Rise Residential Construction (Seamus McKeague)

We have to encourage structural precast companies to invest in new people, new expertise and improved productivity to grow market share for aesthetic precast high-rise residential buildings.

DMfA (design, manufacture for assembly) brings opportunity to capture market share for off-site manufacture and requires a holistic undertaking to becoming a specialist precast construction company.

In an era of economic uncertainty clients are sourcing private equity and pension money to fund build costs. The designs are for long life span buildings that are aesthetic, energy efficient and low maintenance. Clients are seeking precast construction companies who have the expertise, competence, capacity and attitude to be willing partners to deliver high quality buildings on time and within budget.

New European Assessment for Punching Shear Reinforcement (Ulrich Bauermeister)

The new European Assessment ETA 13/0521 regulates the use and defines the increase of punching shear resistance by the factor 2.1.

Flat slabs supported by columns can be built of in situ concrete and of precast slabs with in situ topping. The provision for both applications is an efficient and ease of use punching shear reinforcement.

The lattice girder like Filigran-Punching-Shear-Reinforcement is placed parallel to each other between the lower and the upper bending reinforcement. This is easy installation and minimizes collisions with the bending reinforcement.

Connecting systems for light weight concrete walls (Dieter Rausch)
