Problems with precast concrete buildings.
Incomplete sealing between foundation sections, leading to water entry
Excessive spanning of areas by precast concrete foundation sections with no fill and no footing at all may lead to future water entry, floor slab settlement, or in severe cases, foundation movement
Problems with precast concrete buildings are most often related to differential movement of wall panels and foundations and the way they are absorbed or articulated by the structure.
Corrosion and deterioration of metal components, such as structural connections and metal wall framing
Problems due to condensation forming within the wall construction. Condensation may form at the interior of the wall assembly due to inadequate protection against air flow through the wall, such as exfiltration of warm, moist indoor air, or by infiltration of cold outdoor air reaching the interior wall components.
