Welcome to PrecastWorld.com. This site is dedicated to precast concrete industry. Standards, specifying, manufacturing, logistics and other topics relevant to the modern day precast company. Adding value to precast operations, engineering community, and inspection agencies in an open and transparent environment. The purpose of this site will be to provide unique content that may not be found anywhere else regarding precast.
Start your visit by reading our newest papers that affect both manufacturing and logistics of precast concrete.
Final Concrete Density
How much does your concrete weigh? It is a question to which far too many people assume the wrong answer. 150 pounds per cubic foot is the widely accepted density of concrete with reinforcing rebar included. In reality, the final density could be significantly lower. A simple calculation can take the density from a guess to a more precise value of precast concrete applications. [More]
Precast Math: Block-out volume in a manhole
A common calculation in precast concrete manufacturing is determining the volume of a round block-out in a manhole wall. A round block-out is a hole either cast or cored into the side of a manhole wall. Mathematically there are several methods to calculate this volume, ranging from a simple geometry formula to the theory intense calculus method. [More]
