Abstract
The use of precast concrete is a well-established, economic, manufacturing technique used by the construction industry for structural and semistructural members. The technique has also reached a high level of efficiency in the production of concrete raft-type pavements which are manufactured in the quality-controlled environment of permanent factories.
