Disadvantages of Precast Concrete Buildings
- Limitations on producing large sizes (up to 14 feet in width) due to truck carriage size and regulations
- Additional features such as bolts, reinforcing bars, and mesh have to be considered.
- More testing is required
- Reinforcement considerations whether it is conventional or pre-stressed steel
- Heavy compared to wood and steel construction
- Structural performance may be affected due to lifting, transporting and erecting.
