RPC System is rigid frame prefabricated reinforced concrete structure system and it was adopted in the project of the general testing building of Institute of Construction Technology, Toda Corporation till now, as reported in Concrete Journal, May 1985. In Aerobics City Sports Hotel introduced here, this system was well planned so as to apply to a high-rise building, the structural experiments using the system were executed and the building has been constructed. As a result of that, it was clarified that the system had effectiveness in the productivity and so on. This building is pure rigid frame structure, having approximately 800 m
2 in the standard floor area, the structural form is SRC in BIF-7 F and RPC in 8 F-16 F. In the parts applied with RPC System, columns were cast concrete in situ, girder were made by use of P.C. member and slabs were by use of composite floor panel mainly using half precast panel. The actual construction period for one floor was 8 days. This system contributed to saving manpower of skilled labor and levelling of labor attendant.
