This course is no longer active. AEC Daily will not report completion information for this course.

Ultrathin prestressed precast technology provides a versatile, lightweight panel that offers the strength and aesthetic versatility of concrete at a fraction of the weight. Prestressed precast panels can be used to replace a variety of traditional building materials in a wide range of exterior and interior applications. Reviewed in this course are the benefits, design and cost considerations, and the connection and fastening systems of prestressed precast panels in architectural applications.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • State the performance and environmental benefits of ultrathin prestressed precast panels in architectural applications.
  • Outline the generic manufacturing process for the production of ultrathin prestressed precast panels and the design/cost considerations of the technology.
  • Detail several possible connection and fastening systems for ultrathin prestressed precast cladding to ensure a durable, successful installation.
  • Examine several ultrathin precast architectural façade projects that highlight the design and aesthetic versatility of prestressed precast systems.
