Stacking and storage of precast concrete elements requires proper support and bracing to prevent damage. Support points should be within 300mm of lifting points for beams and slabs, and no more than two support points should be used for pre-stressed elements like hollow core slabs. Wall panels must be stored vertically and braced. Incorrect stacking can cause long-term creep and cracking, so storage locations and dunnage supports should be clearly indicated in shop drawings. Dunnage supports the bottom units and prevents concrete-to-concrete contact that could damage elements.

(or support spacers) vary according to the types of precast elements. Horizontal stacking of slab/beam or column units can be done with suitable packers or support spacers. As a guide, the storage support position for beams and planks should be within 300mm from the lifting point.

Do not use more than
two support points in particular for pre-stressed elements such as precast hollow core slab.
Wall panels should be
stored vertically and braced in position by A frames or a racking system. STORAGE PROCESS OF PRECAST CONCRETE Stacking and Storage: Incorrect stacking and storage can damage precast elements. For those units where support points are critical, for stacking, transport or long term storage, the locations for dunnage or support should be noted on the shop drawings or on the precast layout drawing. Dunnage: Dunnage performs the important function of supporting the bottom unit of a stack clear of the ground, allowing access between units to fit lifting forks or strops, and preventing damage resulting from concrete-to-concrete contact. The bottom level of dunnage must be adequate to transfer the load to the ground without excess settlement. Settlement of dunnage can result in cracking of some types of elements. Dunnage must be arranged to avoid twisting or distorting the precast elements. Dunnage for the next level in a stockpile should be directly over the dunnage below. Materials used for dunnage on surfaces that will be exposed in the finished structure should be non-staining. Note: Variations in concrete curing under dunnage may result in colour variations that could take some time to fade STORAGE PROCESS OF PRECAST CONCRETE

The younger the age at which precast elements deflect or twist under incorrect storage, the greater the creep. D A M A G E S
