The
Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) is our national
trade association. PCI produces a host of publications covering
a wide range of industry products and services including
architectural precast concrete, structural precast concrete,
precast concrete for bridges, precast for marine applications,
etc.
The
following publications are most helpful when designing and/or
specifying architectural precast concrete. To access these
publications, please click on the appropriate icon, or contact
one of our sales
representatives.
Architectural
Precast Concrete Manual - Second Edition
This authoritative publication is the industry's most comprehensive
treatise of architectural precast concrete.
Architectural
Precast Concrete Color and Texture Selection Guide - Second
Edition
This three ring binder contains photographic representations
of over 200 different architectural precast color/texture
samples.
Certified
Quality for People, Products and Performance - PCI Plant
Certification Brochure
Specifying,
and subsequently insisting upon, your project's architectural
precast concrete being manufactured by an A1 PCI certified
plant is the best assurance that you and your client will
receive a high quality result. This brochure details the
following:
- Why no other precast plant certification
program is nearly as reliable as the truly independently
audited PCI plant certification program.
- The stringent requirements of securing
and maintaining PCI plant certification.
- A listing of certification categories
(architectural precast concrete, structural precast concrete,
etc.)
Manual
for Quality Control for Plants and Production of Architectural
Precast Concrete Products
This manual establishes quality control standards, including
manufacturing procedures and testing requirements, quality-control
recommendations, and dimensional tolerances for types of
units required.
PCI
Design Handbook - Precast and Prestressed Concrete, Fifth
Edition
This publication provides, in a single source, information
on the design of both architectural precast concrete and
structural precast concrete. It is a technical engineering
design publication, very different from the highly descriptive
"Architectural Concrete Manual" described above.
