Precast connections using grout sleeve coupler systems

摘要

Use of off-site manufacturing for multi-storey concrete frames is increasing in the UK. This trend has necessitated the development of new construction methodologies, particularly in the field of primary structural connections between precast concrete elements. Hervé Poveda of Ancon Building Products reviews the conventional technology applicable to such connections and provides an insight into new proprietary systems enabling faster, safer and more efficient assemblies.
