Pci Design Handbook 7th 254
The PCI Design Handbook is a comprehensive guide for the design of precast and prestressed concrete structures. It covers various aspects of design, such as materials, analysis, detailing, fabrication, erection, and quality control. The handbook also provides design examples, tables, charts, and references to assist the designer in applying the principles and procedures of precast and prestressed concrete design.
Pci Design Handbook 7th 254
The seventh edition of the PCI Design Handbook was published in 2010 and is based on the ACI 318-05 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete. The handbook has been updated to reflect the latest developments and innovations in the precast and prestressed concrete industry. Some of the new features of the seventh edition include:
A new chapter on seismic design of precast and prestressed concrete structures, incorporating the provisions of ASCE 7-05 and NEHRP 2003.
A new chapter on sustainability and environmental considerations for precast and prestressed concrete structures, addressing topics such as life cycle assessment, carbon footprint, recycled materials, and green building rating systems.
A new chapter on fire resistance of precast and prestressed concrete structures, providing guidance on fire testing, fire ratings, fire protection, and fire performance.
A revised chapter on connections for precast and prestressed concrete structures, incorporating the latest research and recommendations on connection design, detailing, and behavior.
An expanded chapter on hollow-core slabs, including new information on shear strength, deflection, camber, cracking, and serviceability.
An updated chapter on bridge design, including new sections on segmental bridges, integral abutments, curved girders, and accelerated bridge construction.
The PCI Design Handbook is an essential reference for engineers, architects, contractors, educators, students, and anyone involved in the design of precast and prestressed concrete structures. The handbook can be purchased from the [PCI website] or from other online sources . The handbook is also available in digital format as a PDF file.
