This primer is an easy-to-read reference on precast concrete design for
Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) Design Resources
PCI is the technical institute for the precast concrete industry.
The Institute develops, maintains, and disseminates the Body of Knowledge (BOK) necessary for designing, fabricating, and constructing precast concrete structures.
The BOK refers to the collective knowledge of an industry. For this reason, it is relied upon to design and build with a specific material or system.
Therefore, it is from this BOK that we can derive the following information:
-
Building codes
-
Design guides
-
Education programs
-
Certification
-
And more
PCI has developed many resources to aid architects, engineers, and other stakeholders. Consequently, they aid in planning, designing, constructing, and maintaining precast concrete structures.
This section organizes these resources by topic, rather than by project type. Simply click on the appropriate section below.
