US Concrete Systems, LLC has pioneered an innovative, precast concrete system for tall buildings using simple, precast elements.
Our patented system is composed of individual precast concrete elements including PC columns, PC beams, PC slabs, and PC shearwalls that are combined to establish a composite, monolithic, and ductile structural concrete frame for multistory superstructures.
It’s easy to produce and just as easy to erect using common labor and simple equipment. It is adaptable to residential, commercial, industrial builds, as well as long span parking garages.
benefits
Savings up to 35% over competing structural systems
Production and erection of 10,000 sq. ft. of superstructure daily, or 50,000 sq. ft. per week
Compatible with Hollow Core Planks or Double Tees to build tall buildings
Frame/Shearwall interaction established to resist horizontal forces of seismic loads and hurricane winds up to 200 mph
Can erect tall superstructures with or without cranes
Only requires approximately one yard of field-poured concrete at column joints to establish composite, monolothic, and ductile concrete structural frame of all precast concrete elements, with no field formwork and only 10% of shoring required
Patented system that conforms to ACI 318-14: Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete
