Architectural and Framing Considerations
This chapter describes the main features in the preliminary design stages that influence the interaction between the architectural concepts, the building's function and the precast concrete solution. The criteria for the selection of internal and external layout are different in most buildings. The chapter explains the three main tasks in this selection process: selection of the structure; recognition of the functional requirements of the building; and preparation of the framing plan by making optimum use of precast components. A section on component selection describes the following design sequence: roof and floor slabs; staircases; beams; columns; and bracing walls. Some special features like hybrid and mixed construction; precast–in situ concrete structures; and precast concrete–masonry structures are discussed. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the future of mixed construction and balconies.
