Central Chapter Dinner Meeting: 

Coordination Details Between the EOR and the Precast Designer


Camber/Topping/Drainage/Bottom Tensile Stress Interaction

Investigate the impact of placing restrictions on the bottom tensile stress of prestress member and the interrelationship that has on camber, topping thickness, and drainage in a prestress parking deck. A review of bottom tensile stress limits per ACI 318 and code prescribed stress limitations.


Holes in Prestressed Beams

One technique to leverage smaller structural depths or plenum space is through the use of holes in inverted tee beams between double tee stems. A brief review of the statics under construction loading, service loading, and ultimate loading. Rational design methods are presented for distribution of prestress, shear, torsion, and moment.


ASCE 7-16 Adoption of PCI Diaphragm Research

ASCE 7-10 has been modified and updated to ASCE 7-16 and includes a new section, 12.10.3, Alternative Design Provisions for Diaphragms including Chords and Collectors, within the Diaphragm Chords and Collectors section, 12.10. This new section provides for an alternative determination of diaphragm design force level, which is mandatory for precast concrete diaphragms in buildings assigned to SDC D, D, E, or F.
