The issue gives a great insight to connection/ joint methods between pre-cast panels and the disadvantages and advantages of 'open drained joints', 'face sealed joints' and 'compression sealed joints'. It also touches on the structural capabilities of precast concrete used at the new Bulk Liquids Berth at Dampier's Burrup Peninsula in northern WA. The project incorperated precast pile caps, beams and planks.
The issue also provided a case study on the construction of the Meander Dam in Northern Tasmania, which is using a high speed construction method ofprecast and roller compacted concrete (RCC). The project is quite remarkable, consisting of over 4,000 precast panels.
