Panel Types

Precast concrete wall panels are utilized for building envelopes. They are generally available in two types: solid and insulated sandwiched panels. Wall panels can be architectural or structural by being designed to be load-bearing or non-load-bearing. Panels can be cast with openings for windows or other purposes and made with the finish of your choice.

Basic Wall Panel Connections

Bolted connections – Perhaps the simplest and quickest option, using bolted connections allows for a positive connection immediately and can be adjusted at a later time.

Welded connections – Welded connections are the most common choice for precast panels. This approach involves placing a loose plate between structural steel plates and using welding to connect the panel to the structure.

Precast wall connection details refer to the specific design and construction methods used to connect precast concrete walls to each other or to other structural elements within a building. These connection details play a crucial role in ensuring the stability, durability, and overall performance of the precast wall system.

Precast-to-Precast Connections: This involves connecting two or more precast wall panels together. Common connection methods include using mechanical connections, such as bolts, dowels, or embedded connectors, as well as adhesives or grouts. These connections are designed to provide structural integrity, prevent movement, and ensure load transfer between adjacent panels.
