Japan has spent about 60 years researching the Precast Concrete Method (PCa method). Since Japan is an earthquake-prone country, the Rahmen Precast Concrete Method (R-PCa method) is the predominant method in construction projects. On the other hand, China also started researching the PCa method simultaneously with Japan, but this research was interrupted by the Tangshan earthquake in 1976. In addition, earthquakes are rare in most parts of China, and therefore, the primary method used in construction projects is the Wall Precast Concrete Method (W-PCa method). The article explains the current state of the PCa method in Japan and China. The PCa utilization rate of the W-PCa method between Japan and China was defined using modeling buildings.
