High Performance Architectural Precast Wall SystemsHigh Performance Architectural Precast Concrete wall systems have gained incredible recognition from sustainability practitioners who herald its durability, energy efficiency, mold/mildew resistance, use of recycled materials, construction waste, and improved construction IAQ. Due to this recognition, these wall systems are being specified in K-12 school construction, condominiums, hospitals, university dormitories, science buildings, office complexes, and many other LEED-certified projects throughout the U.S. Topics that are covered in this workshop include: appearance options; sandwich-wall design; thermal performance; material R-values and assembly R-values; moisture management; and LEED credits to which precast concrete can contribute.

Accelerated Bridge ConstructionNEW Accelerated Bridge Construction using the NEXT Beam: PCINE Bridge Technical committee has developed a new bridge shape called the Northeast Extreme Tee Beam or NEXT Beam. The goal of this new section is to provide a fast construction option for variable width bridges with spans up to 90 feet. The presentation will focus on the committee's work in developing the beam and a detailed example on how to use the new section in an accelerated bridge project. The PCINE Accelerated Bridge Guidelines along with other precast options will also be discussed. Overview of Precast/Prestressed Concrete:
