Precast concrete speeds apartment construction
Bell-bottom concrete caissons form foundation of building; caissons were placed in holes bored through 60 ft of glacial till; 4-ton H-members are combining beams and columns for narrow ends of 104× 54 ft building; reinforcing steel in vertical arms of H-members was threaded on one end, flat plate was welded to opposite end; to connect sections, erection crew screwed hex nut onto threaded end of reinforcing steel, then welded nut to plate attached to end of next lower column section; H-members are joined to form pair of continuous columns connected by beams and prestressed double-tee slabs span beams to form floors of structure taking all wind forces and obviating shear walls.
