The increasing popularity of prefabricated concrete walls in Australia is testimony to its superior and cost effective properties. In spite of its cost effectiveness, concrete wall construction in Australia has been traditionally regarded as an inconvenient option for dwellings. Concrete walls are highly susceptible to external stresses due to their heavy mass and the time taken for them to set and dry. In addition, the high cost of constructing concrete walls in Australia from traditional masonry techniques has made them unattractive for domestic applications. The increasing popularity of prefabricated concrete walls based on advanced design and material technologies, therefore, provides an opportunity to increase the attractiveness of such walls while simultaneously, minimizing their negative environmental impacts.
