✦ Synopsis

A cost model consisting of fabrication, handling, cladding, foundation and erection costs is constructed and a suite of programs is developed to analyse, design, cost and optimize a family of precast concrete structures. These procedures are further illustrated with cost response surfaces which are generated by assigning the upper and lower bounds of any two primary variables. Conclusions are drawn on the significance of the resultant optimum structures to the precast concrete industry.
