This Handbook is the first book on the market specifically devoted to all aspects of Australian precast concrete construction including design, specification, manufacture and installation. The Handbook reflects current industry best practice featuring the latest innovative applications of precast concrete; these range from simple structural elements to industrial and skeletal frame buildings, to decoratively finished complex-shaped architectural facade panels and sophisticated bridge girders. It provides guidelines in the form of graphs, charts and worked examples to assist in the design of precast concrete structures in accordance with AS 3600-2001. The Handbook is intended for architects, engineers, quantity surveyors and students as well as those involved in the building, infrastructure and construction industry. Published by the National Precast Concrete Association Australia in conjunction with the Concrete Institute of Australia. This CD product incorporates all the usual features associated with electronic distribution, including PDF download, search and zoom. Originally published in hard copy format as CIA Z48-2002.

The Precast Concrete Handbook is the definitive Australian text covering the design, manufacture and installation of precast reinforced and prestressed concrete. It is an essential resource for every precast concrete project.

The new second edition:

Has been updated to AS 3600 (2009) and other relevant revised Australian Standards, where deemed appropriate. *
Contains new technical data on a range of precast concrete elements including sandwich panels.
Provides information on using precast concrete in sustainable designs.
Explains design impacts caused by recent changes to the Building Code of Australia.
Contains data on the thermal performance of precast concrete elements.
Provides data on the acoustic insulation properties of precast concrete elements.

* Chapter 7.10 is based on ACI318.
