The aim of this state-of-art report is to present current practices for use of precast and prestressed concrete in countries in seismic regions, to recommend go

* Presents the basics of seismic-resistant design of concrete structures. * Provides a major focus on the seismic design of precast bracing systems.

* Presents the basics of seismic-resistant design of concrete structures. * Provides a major focus on the seismic design of precast bracing systems.

This document has a broad scope and is not focussed on design issues. Precast construction under seismic conditions is treated as a whole. The main principles o
