Abstract:

A survey of 36 office buildings in the United States and Canada featuring long span concrete slabs showed concrete is a technically feasible and cost effective material for office structures. The survey ran from buildings two to 52 stories high. Initial cost was a primary criterion for selection of concrete, although interim financing, construction time, and maintenance cost were also considered.
