In this program, participants will learn the basics of precast concrete parking structures. Participants will also discuss: personal safety issues (lighting), fire safety properties, and the environmental benefits (LEED) of precast concrete.After this program, you will be able to:– Identify precast, prestressed concrete systems using in parking structures– Explain the benefits of using precast, prestressed concrete in parking structures– Make an informed material choice for your next parking structure design.
