High Performance Architectural Precast Wall Systems

High 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 Construction

NEW 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.
Length: 1.0 Hour | Credits: PDH 1.0

Precast and Higher Education Applications

This presentation helps the designer understand precast building systems and products that can be used in College University applications.  Precast concrete components including hollow-core plank, architectural panels, and high performance insulated wall panels have been long viewed as a durable method in building construction.  Proper detailing and specifying precast will be reviewed along with topics such as acoustical considerations; fire and energy efficiency.

Presentations conducted at noontime include a complimentary lunch.
