Precast Arches by RECO (TechSpan)

RECO introduced the TechSpan® precast concrete arch system to Australia in 1989. It was developed by the Reinforced Earth Group through its Spanish subsidiary. The technique utilised the Group’s knowledge of soils and finite element analysis to develop the perfect arch. TechSpan® is a three-pin, twopiece, funicular curve shaped arch. TechSpan® is the leader in precast [...] [...more]

Restore and improve urban infrastructure

UC San Diego engineers have launched a series of earthquake tests on a structure approximating a parking garage. The 1 million-pound precast concrete structure possesses the largest footprint of any structure ever tested on an earthquake simulator in the United States. This test has a very high priority for the construction design industry because during the [...] [...more]
