Abstract:
The use of prestressed concrete lift slabs to obtain substantial advantage in performance of the slab is discussed. Items covered include cost trends in conventional versus lift-slab construction and factors affecting the economy of prestressed lift-slab construction including building layout, structural framing schemes, use of precast columns, connections, and prestressing layout.
