Use of Precast Concrete in frames: There are two main types of precast building frame. Use of Precast Concrete for Floors: Each year the industry makes about 5 million square meters of precast floor slabs. The structural frame consists of slabs, beams and columns. The cross-wall frame consists of floor slabs and solid walls.

This allows a greater performance from the cladding panel than simple building enclosure. Panels can be manufactured in many shapes and sizes, but mainly they are either storey height spanning from floor to floor, or spandrel panels forming a sill wall beneath windows. They are also load bearing panels.

Upon wetting, concrete tends to expand. These moisture-induced volume changes are a characteristic of concrete. If the shrinkage of concrete could take place without any restraint, the concrete would not crack.

The stress strain curve of concrete lies between those of the aggregate and the cement paste. The aggregate is more rigid than the cement paste and will therefore deform less (i.e. have a lower strain) under the same applied stress. The aggregate is more rigid than the cement paste and will therefore deform less (i.e.
