Lectures are offered to both undergraduate and graduate classes for schools of engineering, architecture, and construction management. A list of topics covered in a typical lecture follows. Lectures can be modified to cover specific topics of interest.
Schools of Engineering
This lecture may be presented as part of the undergraduate reinforced concrete design class as an introduction to prestressed concrete design. It can also be given as an introduction to the graduate class in prestressed concrete design at the start of a semester. The program is about an hour long.
Structural Precast Topics
- Basics of Prestressed Concrete Design
- Fabrication Techniques
- Installation Techniques
- Variety of Building Applications
- Variety of Bridge Applications
Each student receives a complimentary copy of the PCI Design Handbook, an $85.00 value, and a CD-Rom that details employment opportunities in the precast industry.
