Precast Concrete Advantages Over Cast-In-Place Concrete
Total precast parking structures allow for long unobstructed spans, creating
open spaces and giving more design flexibility. With various color pigments,
reveals, shapes and textures, the design options are literally endless. Structures
can be as unique as imaginable, or designed to fit seamlessly into an existing
development.
Designed to be load-bearing
for the floor structure on their
interior face and detailed with
an unlimited number of colors,
textures, and finishes on the exterior face, the exterior components of a
precast concrete parking structure serve a dual purpose. Precast spandrels at
the perimeter provide for a safer vehicle restraint system over alternative
solutions in a cast-in-place structure.

Parking structures constructed with cast-in-
place concrete are limited in design options
for the exterior appearance. The typical
options are an up-turned beam, grouted
masonry or a cable system, unless another
material is applied over the cast-in-place
frame at an additional cost.

Precast concrete has significantly shorter construction schedules than cast-
in-place concrete construction. The majority of the precast fabrication is
completed while the foundations are being installed in the field. Once
precast installation commences, the time needed to erect the precast
structure is significantly quicker than cast-in-place. Precast employs a
vertical construction method rather than the horizontal one used in cast-in-
place.
Since precast components are already cured before they reach the jobsite, they can
be erected vertically – from the foundation to the roof – in zones. Thus, complete
sections of the building are ready for sub-trades to enter and begin their work,
sometimes in just a few days. Cast-in-place concrete, on the other hand, is usually
erected using a horizontal method. This means an entire floor must be poured and
allowed to cure until the required design strength is achieved .This keeps any sub-
trades work from beginning and severely limits the ability to overlap schedule items.
Coreslab delivers 'finished' precast components to the jobsite controlling waste in
the production plant.

Many designers specify precast concrete components because of their
structural flexibility. Design options include long clear spans or larger
panels that reduce the number of columns or joints, saving time and
material costs. By eliminating structural columns with long clear spans,
foundation costs can be reduced as much as two thirds of structural steel
or cast-in-place structures. Additionally, the new 12'-0" wide double tee
requires fewer pieces to produce and erect resulting in greater project
economy.
The long span capability of precast concrete has a significant advantage
over cast-in-place. Precast concrete parking structures are more open and
user friendly because the columns can be spaced at 36’ to 45’ apart in lieu
of the 18’ spacing of a typical cast-in-place structure.
Coreslab Structures is using new framing techniques, such as lite walls, to
eliminate columns and shadowy spaces.
Safety & security are key qualities of any parking structure design. Precast
concrete’s ability to provide open, clear spans creates light, bright interiors
within the structure, reassuring users while making the traffic pattern
easier to understand and navigate.

Precast concrete parking structures are recognized as having superior
performance with less long term maintenance because the precast
components are produced in a plant controlled environment with a high
degree of quality and craftsmanship, which is not possible to replicate
on a job site. Also, all the precast components consist of high
performance concrete (5000 to 8000 psi) in lieu of the 4000 psi
concrete typically used for cast-in-place structures.
It is possible to design and build precast structures in excess of 400’
long without the need for any costly expansion joints. Cast-in-place
structures typically require expansion joints at 250’ o.c. and expansion
joints historically have proven to be a maintenance nightmare. Precast
structures with small planned joints prevent leaks through precise, high
quality sealing.

for a third party special inspection, thus saving
the owner significant cost for work that would
