PRECST

 

Purpose:  Used to define slab pour sequence. 

 

-->    Given in girder input

 

Thickness (inches or mm) of precast panels used as forms, which then become integral with the poured concrete to form the slab thickness.  The total slab thickness (see SLABT ) includes the thickness of the precast panels.  Effective only if slab pour sequence data (SEQUENCE , SLBSPC ) have been specified.  An entire span is assumed to be weighted with such precast panels as soon as the first pour is made in that span, even though the poured segment may not completely fill the span.  If the cured slab is composite, the precast panels are not assumed to be composite until the poured overlay cures.
