Volume Change Movement and Forces in Precast Concrete Buildings

AbstractThe migration of city dwellers to suburbs is a commonly observed phenomenon. The growth of residential areas on the fringes of cities is referred to as suburbanisation. In the present study, migration patterns were investigated in rural districts located in the direct vicinity of the administrative boundaries of Olsztyn over a 10-year timespan. Several hundred building plot purchase/sale transactions in the form of notarial deeds were analysed to determine the dwelling place of the buyer. The analysis of the transactions revealed that the dominant group of purchasers were owners of apartments in multi-family precast concrete buildings, located in the city quarter closest to the studied suburbs. Changes in the spatial structure of suburban areas were also noted.

The author’s algorithm for designing revitalization programmes for housing estates of precast concrete buildings comprises consecutive steps of analyses and actions necessary for addressing the complex problems of the estates in full. The algorithm proposed by the author has been created for a particular estate, however, it is of general character. Its systematic approach allows the user to adapt it to other types of building stock, post-industrial conversions, traditional housing etc. assuming that their individual qualities are accounted for in the diagnosis.
