Guide to Chapter Content

The PCI Design Handbook is the industry’s best working tool for architects and engineers who design and build in prestressed and precast concrete. It assists the designer/engineer in achieving optimal solutions in minimal time. Recent changes in building codes and standards, issued by ASCE, ACI, and IBC are the most significant in 40 years, making it imperative that practicing structural engineers and architects keep up with these changes.

Third Edition   
"Architectural Precast Concrete" 

This fully revised edition includes new sections on sustainability, condensation control, and blast resistance. You’ll get extensive updates in the areas of color, texture, finishes, weather, tolerances, connections, and windows, along with detailed specifications to meet today’s construction needs. Includes full-color photographs and a bonus DVD.
