BasicsPrecast/Prestressed Concrete 101Credit: 1.00 HSW | Program Number: BP101
Participants will explore building design solutions using precast and prestressed concrete products. They will learn what precast, prestressed concrete products are, how they are manufactured, including structural theory of prestressing, and quality assurance procedures. They will learn about the industry certification program (PCI) of plants, people and performance. Participants will explore numerous examples of architectural and structural concrete solutions for numerous building markets. They will explore a variety of architectural finishes and how each is created in terms of color, form and texture. They will explore common structural solutions using prestressed concrete products and explore integrated solutions; realizing the full potential of loadbearing architectural precast units. The session will end with an overview of industry support available to the design community, including published and electronic media. Contact MAPA about this Education Opportunity |
StairsDesigning a Vertical Path to SafetyCredit: 1.00 HSW | Program Number: Stairs are an essential part of multi‐level construction and yet they are often not regarded as critical to the ultimate design and construction of a project. Participants in this presentation will learn:
|
Total PrecastTotal Precast StructuresCredit: 1.00 HSW | Program Number: TOPRST After this program, participants will be more familiar with what a total precast concrete structure is, how a total precast structure can benefit a project, and what components are used to construct a total precast structure. Participants will also learn how to manage a successful project.
|
High Performance WallsArchitectural Precast ConcreteCredit: 1.00 HSW | Program Number: APC07 Participants will learn the energy, schedule, and maintenance benefits of using high‐performance precast concrete wall panels as the exterior closure of a facility. This session also explores the wide range of aesthetic options available in precast construction.
|
Hollow-Core PlanksDesigning with Precast/Prestressed Hollow‐Core ConcreteCredit: 1.00 HSW | Program Number: HLCR06 This course instructs participants about hollow‐core products and how to design and build utilizing hollow‐core floors and walls. Participants also learn about the inherent fire resistance of hollow‐core, a major life‐safety consideration. After this program, participants will be able to:
|
Parking StructuresParking Structure Design and ConstructionCredit: 1.00 HSW | Program Number: P006 In this course, participants are instructed in improving security and lighting in parking structures and the inherent safety issues. They are also instructed in architectural treatment options for facades which can make garages more aesthetically pleasing, and use precast concrete to reduce construction time and expenses.
|
HousingPrecast Housing StructuresCredit: 1.00 HSW | Program Number: HOUS06 In this program, participants will discuss precast, prestressed concrete in the housing market. Precast, prestressed concrete provides long clear spans, shallow cross sections, high load capacities, high durability, compatibility with block, steel and cast‐in‐place concrete, and attractive appearance. Also learn how owners and residents benefit from low maintenance, two‐ or four‐hour fire ratings, lower fire insurance rates, and strong acoustical control. After this program, participants will be able to:
|
IndustrialPrecast Industrial Structures Design & ConstructionCredit: 1.00 HSW | Program Number: IND06 Participants will learn the key benefits of precast, prestressed components and see the advantages of an integrated design approach.
|
StadiumsPrecast Stadiums Design & ConstructionCredit: 1.00 HSW | Program Number: STAD06 Box lunch attendees will learn how working with your precast, prestressed specialist at the earliest stages of design can mean a winning combination of advantages for your next stadium. These include flexibility of design, including long spans; high quality of manufactured products; versatility; high‐performance, durable materials; and speed of construction because precast components can be erected quickly once they arrive at the site. After attending this program, participants will be able to:
