Architectural Precast Concrete
Architectural precast concrete is a child of the 20th century and modern technology, but it can trace its lineage back to ancient history. As such, it is a building material almost without precedent. Concrete in its cruder forms was used by the Romans in the construction of their aqueducts. Europe refined the time-tested formula in the 19th century, developing reinforced concrete that combined the compressive properties of concrete and the tensile strength of steel. Continuing technological growth and industrialization created a genuine need for new techniques and mate rials that could be used in prefabricated construction. Architectural precast concrete was developed to fulfill this need.
