Towards open building system in housing: A compilation of ibs precast panel

Precast concrete has been used as cladding on buildings since the 1920s and has become increasingly popular since the 1950s. Recently the range of products has broadened as manufacturers have incorporated new design aesthetics of the variety of shapes and finishes. Panels are fabricated under contro...
