Summary:

"This book presents a systematic overview of the variety of applications for precast concrete elements throughout Europe. In addition to exploring the possibilities of conventional precast, newly developed lightweight concrete types such as GRC (glass fibre reinforced concrete), CRC (compact reinforced composite) or Ductal are a specific focus of the book. A selection of 27 international projects are documented in depth, and will prove a source of inspiration for designers. All buildings are described with a hands-on, practical approach, giving a wealth of useful information."--Jacket.
