Keeping up with Change:The PCI Design Handbook is the industry’s best working tool for architects and engineers who design and build in prestressed and precast concrete. It assists the designer/engineer in achieving optimal solutions in minimal time. Recent changes in building codes and standards, issued by ASCE, ACI, and IBC are the most significant in 40 years, making it imperative that practicing structural engineers and architects keep up with these changes. Following the recent publication of the 6th Edition of PCI’s Design Handbook, this seminar will update design professionals and precast plant engineers on critical changes.

Seminar Fees: $300. “Special $95 discount rate for Design Professional Members in the PCI Central Region.” Fee includes a copy of the 6th Edition PCI Design Handbook (which lists at $260), CD, seminar notes, breaks and lunch. Participants will also receive a FREE one-year individual PCI Membership.

Who Should Attend: Engineering and architectural design professionals, contractors, estimators and precast plant engineers who design or analyze precast concrete systems.
