舞台中央is a two block (17 and 22 storeys) residential development in Birmingham. The project utilised precast concrete systems including the building’s structural frame, cladding and balcony units.

Victoria & Albert Museum

Dundee

The UK’s Victoria & Albert Museum stands on the waterfront of Dundee, a city in the north of Scotland. It is the first design museum in Scotland and is expected to function as a base for promoting Scottish culture.

具体指南针: Offsite concrete construction

Navigating to useful resources and guidance

The use of precast concrete elements is a well-established construction method. Concrete offsite solutions range from whole building and structural systems, to precast construction components, offering numerous benefits during construction and over the whole life of a building. This compass brings together some of latest information and resources, including guidance documents and case studies, that can assist in making informed design decisions.

Our head of architecture, Elaine Toogood, looks at the full range of offsite concrete construction methods, their advantages and applications, in herblog

Key guidance

混凝土中心有许多资源为设计师提供全面的指导。

  • Offsite Concrete Construction是一个免费的销售出版物,其中包括使用异地混凝土结构的指导和好处,并研究一些更常见的技术的细节。对于那些想要全面概述设计考虑因素的人来说,这份24页指南是一个很好的起点。
  • Residential Cellular Concrete Buildingstechnical guide, includes detailed ‘How-To’ guidance on construction systems, including crosswall, tunnelform and twin wall.
  • Concrete Offsite Solutions on-demand webinarThis webinar explains the range of offsite solutions available in concrete and their benefits, along with design guidance for their use.

Focus on...

As featured in Concrete Quarterly magazine and other key journals, here is some useful guidance.

Sustainability

There are many ways in which precast concrete can be used as part of sustainable buildings. In addition, there are many sustainable benefits that are available due to the manufacture and supply chain, including low waste production, lower carbon concrete, responsible sourcing and the use of recycled content.

  • 预制混凝土特征的可持续性优势的摘要Offsite Concrete Construction guide,于2019年出版。
  • 混凝土中的异地解决方案通常是为了适合项目特定标准的制造,其中可能包括项目特定的可持续性绩效,从负责任的采购到削减碳。有关更多信息,请参见Specifying Sustainable Concrete, published in 2020.
  • Generic Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) have been published by MPA Precast, working closely with sustainability consultants thinkstep. Together they produced a life cycle assessment tool to enable MPA Precast to produce verified EPDs in accordance with BS EN 15804: 2012 +A1 (2013). The tool has an extensive list of over 50 material inputs covering all the commonly used aggregates, cements, reinforcements and admixtures. These third-party verified EPDs can be accessedhere
  • 可以下载易于使用的碳纤维事实说明here。这些是在EPDS(above) and therefore should only be referred to if needed once the EPDs are consulted.
  • The precast concrete sector reports annually viaSustainability Mattersand the sector is also part of theConcrete Industry Sustainable Construction Strategy,这也每年报告性能。还有文章Construction News supplementthat show progress on thePrecast Sustainability Charter Schemeandcarbon reduction targetsand the sustainability benefits of precast concrete.

Codes and Standards

异地混凝土结构的结构设计是Eurocode 2(BS EN 1992-1-1),但还有进一步的预制混凝土元素代码。所有预制混凝土元素的一般代码是BS EN 13369,可以找到特定元素的代码列表here

英国预制混凝土

There are a number of specialist groups that represent the UK precast sector:

  • MPA Precastis the trade association for the UK precast concrete sector. As an industry body it operates a number of specialist product groups as well as sector schemes for health and safety, and sustainability. More information about thePrecast Sustainability Charter
  • MPA Precast Architectural and Structural Group provides expertise and experience in offsite construction. Available resources include newsletters on a vast range of construction sectors and precast concrete applications, including cladding and its use of digitalisation, such as BIM.
