Valutazione comparativa dei sistemi strutturali in cemento armato prefabbricato e gettato in opera per un progetto industriale su larga scala: uno studio di caso di un edificio amministrativo

This thesis compares precast and cast-in-place reinforced concrete structural systems for the administrative building of the Ricanto Power Plant in Ajaccio, Corsica, using the real precast project as a case study and an equivalent cast-in-place scenario as a benchmark. The two systems are assessed from technical, industrial, economic, scheduling, safety and life cycle (LCA) perspectives. Results show that precast construction is both faster and more cost-effective, with better quality control, while its environmental performance is penalised mainly by the long sea transport of precast elements from Italy to Corsica.
