Fill in the form at the bottom of this page to request an AIA-registered lunch and learn program. PCI-IW will provide your staff with lunch and a full set of precast reference books for your library.

Yes, I am interested in learning more about AIA/CES Registered Provider Lunchtime Seminars, Programs and/or Plant Tours.

DPC10 - Designing with Precast/Prestressed Concrete

Use the Designing with Precast and Prestressed Concrete binder resource to:
  • research the different precast applications available to them as designers
  • determine if a specific precast application will work in their next design project
  • determine if architectural applications meet their client's needs
  • Discuss different precast options relevant to design decision making processes
 

APC 07 - Architectural Precast Design

In this program, participants will learn about color, form and texture of architectural precast concrete, as well as the design flexibility and economy of using precast concrete. After participating in this program, learners will be able to:
  • Discuss architectural precast options with owners
  • Explain the advantages of using precast concrete to owners, and
  • Choose the best design materials for upcoming projects based on the structural and budgetary considerations.
 

SBDPC - Sustainable Design Using Precast/Prestressed Concrete

By the end of this program you will be able to:
  • Discuss what sustainability is and why it’s important.
  • Explain how precast as a building material can contribute to sustainable structures.
  • Explain the five key areas of sustainable design.
  • Describe how precast can be incorporated into sustainable design strategies to achieve LEED credits.
 

SCH07 - School Buildings

In this program, participants will learn the basics of designing school buildings using precast/prestressed concrete. Topics discussed include: the flexibility of design using precast concrete, acoustic properties, fire safety, indoor environmental properties of concrete, maintenance needs, life cycle costs, speed of construction, and outdoor environmental properties (LEED).
 

TPS06 - Introduction to Total Precast Systems

After a number of introductory slides the content includes topical coverage of the following:
  • Applications of Total Precast Systems in parking structures, residential, offices, manufacturing and institutional settings
  • Typical Precast Building Components
  • Precast manufacturing
  • Construction and erection considerations
  • Design considerations
  • Benefits of precast concrete relative to long clear spans, high-load capacity, fire resistance, durability, acoustical performance and thermal mass
  • Project examples
 

HLCR06 - Hollow Core Concrete

After you have completed this educational program you will be able to:
  • Identify the different precast, prestressed hollow-core concrete systems
  • Explain the benefits of using precast, prestressed hollow-core concrete
  • Discuss the benefits of using hollow-core concrete with owners and other designers
 

HOU07 - Precast Housing Structures

In this program, participants will learn the basics of using precast/prestressed concrete in single-family and multi-family housing. Topics discussed include: acoustic properties, fire safety, indoor environmental advantages of concrete, maintenance needs, speed of construction, and outdoor environmental properties (LEED).
 

PRK07 - Precast/Prestressed Parking Garage Design

In this program, participants will learn the basics of precast concrete parking structures. After this program, you will be able to:
  • Identify precast, prestressed concrete systems using in parking structures
  • Explain the benefits of using precast, prestressed concrete in parking structures
  • Make an informed material choice for your next parking structure design
