Best Answer

Pre-cast concretes are manufactured in a pre-cast plant or on site (tilted-up construction). Cast in steel moulds with precise dimension. Very good quality control. Delivered and erected on site.

Cast in-situ are constructed on site using fresh concrete from trucks and placed by workers. Quality Control is the responsibility of the site manager.

What can you do with concrete?

With concrete and precast concrete you can build fences, walls, concrete sound walls, pre-cast concrete perimeter walls, masonry walls, masonry screen walls and more! If you are interested in having a concrete or precast fence, perimeter, sound wall, masonry wall or masonry screen wall, then go to the links below for more information.

What is precast concrete panel?

A precast concrete panel is: A panel, tile, counter, Fin, wall etc that is usually poured in a controlled manufacturing facility (although it can be poured on site) into a mold of a specific shape. Whether it is mass produced or a custom shape the precast panel is usually finished (sealed) before installation (although, again this also can be done on site). There are 2 ways to istall concrete products: Pour on site or precast and install. There are many pros and cons for each process. Which method to use depends on what the customer/architect/designer/engineer is trying to accomplish.


What is the difference between lean concrete and mass concrete?

Mass concrete is concrete cast without Rebars. They are good in compression and are mostly used for the construction of gravity structures such as Dams. While reinforced concrete have reinforcement bars in them, which increases the tensile strenght of the concrete.

It means "Cast In Place". This is like when you form concrete and place it in liquid form. This is opposite of "Precast" which means that it is formed some place else and moved to its final location after it hardens.

What is a pre cast concrete?

Precast concrete is a construction element made of that material and finished before its installation in the building frame. The mix of concrete must be cast or scaffolded until it gets enough strengh to handle and support own weight.

Is GFRC the same thing as precast?

NO.GFRC stands for glass fiber reinforced concrete. Precast is concrete (typically reinforced with steel) poured at a factory (rather than cast at the job site)For GFRC information see http:/www.strombergarchitectural.com/materials/gfrc for gfrc guidebooks, technical information etc.


What is difference between pre tension and post tension precast girders of bridge?

A simple explanation: PRE tensioned- cables are tensioned, and the concrete is cast around it. The tensioning is done BEFORE casting the concrete (PRE = before). POST tensioned- cables are placed inside of ducts or are greased to prevent bonding to the concrete, the concrete is cast around the cables, and then the cables are tensioned after the concrete has reached a desired strength. The tensioning is done AFTER the concrete is cast (POST = after).
