Two major Finnish companies offering services to the construction industry, Elematic Oy Ab and Peikko Group Corporation, decided to establish a project that aimed to evaluate the possibilities of using precast technology in seismic areas, with regard to technology and feasibility.

Precast construction can be used in seismic regions. In these areas the design of connections is the key aspect in the construction process. Two major Finnish companies offering services to the construction industry, Elematic Oy Ab and Peikko Group Corporation, decided to establish a project that aimed to evaluate the possibilities of using precast technology in seismic areas, with regard to technology and feasibility. Two specific areas in China with different seismicity levels were chosen for the practical research. The result of this completed project is an example of how a full precast...
