Is cast-in-place better overall and more expensive to assemble? Why does the country still push the assembly rate?
Many people simply equate precast buildings with “assembly houses”, with the inherent impression that the joints are prone to water leakage and have poor seismic resistance.
It is unclear whether the seismic design standards for qualified precast buildings should be consistent with those for cast-in-place buildings, and the safety bottom line should be the same.
