Precast Concrete News from Tindall

In order to clarify the differences between precast concrete and traditional concrete construction, it is important to define the types of concrete construction.  Traditional concrete construction is often called cast-in-place concrete. This is when steel or wood forms are assembled on the project site and at the building component’s final location. Steel reinforcing bars are placed inside the forms, and then wet concrete is placed into these forms, encasing the steel reinforcing bars. Once the concrete hardens and has sufficient strength, the forms are then removed, and the hardened concrete is exposed. The hardened concrete is in the geometric shape […]

Studies were later done in specific product applications where the density of the matrix was augmented by adding silica fume, thereby increasing strength and the chloride and moisture penetration resistance. Work refining the matrix of cementitious materials has continued over the last twenty-five […]
