With the limitless capabilities of concrete, aside from specs, engineering requirements - and physics - one is only constrained to creativity and innovation when it comes to its use. Contractors can ...

The study of the strength and failure modes of construction components has become increasingly important with the advent of industrialized construction. Recently, because of the need to promote the ...

Founded in 1954, The Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) is a technical institute for the precast concrete structures and systems industry. PCI develops, maintains, and disseminates the Body ...

Precast concrete connections are often critical points of vulnerability during seismic events if not adequately designed. This study investigates the cyclic behaviour of precast column-to-foundation ...
