This digest deals briefly with some of the main factors, principally the threat of rain penetration, which determine the performance standards required of joints between precast concrete wall panels, and discusses in detail the design of one type of joint - the open drained joint - which when properly designed and executed has proved as successful as any in accommodating these factors.
