The Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) announced the publication of the PCI Design Handbook: Precast and Prestressed Concrete, Ninth Edition (MNL-120-25), the industry’s most comprehensive design guide for precast and prestressed concrete systems.

As the recognized authority on the design, manufacture, and use of structural and architectural precast/prestressed concrete, PCI developed this new edition to reflect the latest codes, standards, and best practices used by architects, engineers, and industry professionals.

The Ninth Edition features:

• Easy-to-follow design procedures that streamline the design process

• New and updated numerical examples to illustrate practical applications

• New and enhanced design aids supporting efficient and code-compliant design

• Comprehensive guidance for both architectural and structural precast and prestressed concrete components

The ninth edition of the PCI Design Handbook continues PCI's longstanding commitment to supporting the design community with the most current, practical, and authoritative resources. This edition reflects the evolving needs of designers and ensures that precast and prestressed concrete remain at the forefront of efficient and innovative construction solutions.

The handbook is intended to provide designers with a clear, reliable reference for creating high-performance precast and prestressed concrete structures that meet today's rigorous code requirements while optimizing efficiency and constructability.

The PCI Design Handbook, Ninth Edition is now available through PCI.
