Given the current context at national and European level in terms of reducing skilled labour force in constructions, as well as the high level of density and traffic in large cities, there is an increasing emphasis on the possibility of shortening the duration of building the structural frames on site, reducing the number of workers or even reducing the level of noise pollution. Thus, the introduction of precast technologies in the case of office buildings and residential buildings, with multi-storey frame structure, is becoming an increasingly pressing and topical issue.
The purpose of this paper is to enable structural engineers, architects and potential investors to consciously choose the type of optimal structure, taking into account a number of technical and economic aspects.
In this sense, in order to highlight the main advantages and disadvantages of using multi-storey precast reinforced concrete frame structures, a comparative case study will be carried out between a precast frame structure and a monolithic frame structure, respectively.
