Even if a designer does not have a PCI Design Handbook at the ready, it is still possible to get the load tables from both the previous editions and the current edition. Sections from PCI Design Handbook include interaction curves, load tables, and section properties for various precast concrete components.  For additional explanation on using these tables, refer to the text of the respective handbook editions.

Load Tables from most of the PCI Design Handbook can be found on the PCI website in the technical resources section. 

It is possible to order the PCI Design handbook 7th Edition by visiting the bookstore on the PCI website. The book contains a comprehensive study of the information needed to engineer precast/prestressed concrete elements. Chapters include

• Precast and Prestressed Concrete Applications
  
• Notations
  
• Preliminary Design of Precast/Prestressed Concrete Structures
