The role of precast concrete in architecture

Abstract

Technological progress in construction is manifested in both industrialization of construction projects and in the production of high-quality precast elements in complex architectural projects. The production process requires detailed preparation. It begins at the design stage of the facility, which is the most important part of the implementation process. There was a significant change in the time-consuming execution of the technical design of the facility, in relation to the production of precast elements and especially the implementation of the facility itself. Production and project management are carried out thanks to BIM technology, which supports not only the production process but also the phase of its operation. The technical documentation takes into account both the modularity of the wall and ceiling elements, as well as the physical, chemical, and visual parameters of the concrete of individual prefabricated elements. Therefore, the technical drawings of the facilities must be prepared taking into account the close cooperation of builders and architects.
