Precast concrete construction involves casting concrete elements at a location separate from their final position, allowing for a variety of structural components to be produced and transported to job sites. In contrast, cast-in-situ concrete is poured directly at the construction site. Pre-stressed concrete introduces internal stresses to counteract external loads, improving performance and reducing cracking, with methods including pre-tensioning and post-tensioning used to apply these stresses.
