Overview

PCI's Online Academy offers a series of continuing education modules tailored for engineering practitioners and students. Each academy features weekly sessions spanning 90 minutes, conducted over four to six weeks, with participants earning continuing education credits upon completion. These sessions are led by professors and industry authorities specializing in precast concrete design, leveraging their extensive expertise to optimize the learning experience. No prior experience in precast concrete is necessary for participants, as the program's technical content is designed to benefit individuals involved in or aspiring to engage with the design of such structures, including licensed engineers, EITs, professors, as well as graduate and undergraduate students.

Online Academy: Advanced Prestressed Design

August 29 – October 10, 2024

This course is specific to needs of the Precast / Prestressed Concrete industry. This course presents advanced design topics of precast/prestressed components based on information presented in Chapter 5 of the 8th Edition PCI Design Handbook. This course builds on the concepts introduced in the Basic Prestressed Concrete Design series offered by PCI earlier this year. This 6-part online series will present the background and details of provisions for design precast/prestressed components including torsion, dapped end design, ledge design, corbel design, design of compression members, and detailing of beam openings.

Online Academy: Precast Concrete Connections Design

October 1 – November 19, 2024

Connections are fundamental to all buildings and construction no matter what material is used. The purpose of a connection is to transfer loads, restrain movement, and/or to provide stability to a component or an entire structure. As such, the design of connections is one of the most important aspects in the design and engineering of precast concrete structures. This class will cover the variety of design and performance criteria connections are required to meet, including strength, ductility, volume change accommodation, durability, fire resistance, constructability, tolerances, and seismic requirements. Typical precast concrete connection details will be reviewed and discussed in detail.
