The Overview of Technical State of Unfinished Building Made of Large Panel Elements

Abstract:

Buildings made in technology of Large Panel System (LPS) are the main segment of the construction market in Poland. Since the late 1950's construction made of precast elements were erected in all regions of the country. The elements produced in in-site precast factories did not meet the system requirements. The overview of the technical state of building made of precast reinforcement concrete flat-plate erected in the 1989 is presented. The erection of the building was stopped before the flat roof was embedded. Since then the building has been standing unused. The building was made in OWT system, one of the LPS developed in Poland. The information about the construction of the joints between various walls was presented. The state of concrete and reinforcement steel treated by atmospheric and biological influences are also mentioned. The differences between dimensions of connection elements in joints in analyzed building and in the system catalogue were presented. The manner of construction of joint in the building is discussed. The paper is finished by some comments about building construction and structure safety.
