Abstract
Precast Concrete construction is a building method used in modern construction. It is important in the development of construction methods, as it deals with some of the major factors influencing construction: budget, environment and time. This paper will review the installation of precast elements on a construction project. Practical experiences are discussed and gained. This paper aims to have an in-depth look at the assembly of precast elements using sleeve and cast-in-site connections to join beams, columns, walls and slabs to form a monolithic structure.
