WHAT IS PRECAST/PRESTRESSED CONCRETE?
PRECAST/PRESTRESSED CONCRETE is an
architectural and structural material possessing great
strength. Specifically, PRESTRESSED CONCRETE has
unique characteristics that allow pre-determined,
engineered stresses to be placed in members to
counteract stresses that occur when the unit is subjected
to service loads. This is accomplished by combining the
best properties of two quality materials: high strength
concrete for compression and high tensile strength steel
strands for tension.
Actually, prestressing is quite simple. High tensile
strands are stretched between abutments at each end of
long casting beds. Concrete is then poured into the
forms encasing the strands. As the concrete sets, it
bonds to the tensioned steel. When the concrete
reaches a specified strength, the strands are released
from the abutments. This compresses the concrete,
arches the members, and creates a built-in resistance to
service loads.

Ordinary Concrete Beam Prestressed Concrete Beam

Even without a load, the ordinary concrete beam must
carry its own considerable weight. This leaves only a
portion of its strength available to resist added loads.
Prestressed or pretensioned before it leaves the plant, a
slight arch or camber is noticeable. Energy is stored in
the unit by the action of the highly tensioned steel which
places a high compression in the lower portion of the
member. An internal upward force is thereby created
which in effect relieves the beam of having to carry its
own weight.

Under service loads, the bottom of the beam will develop The internal upward force along the length of the beam
hairline cracks. counteracts the external service loads applied to the
member.

PREFACE TO PRODUCT LOAD TABLES
The following pages contain load tables for the standard products available from Coreslab Structures (ARIZ) Inc. Load
capacities are in conformance with the American Concrete Institute "Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete
(ACI 318-05)". However, values given in the tables are intended for preliminary member selections, not final designs.
These values assume that the safe superimposed load is composed of 60% dead load and 40% live load.

In some cases, loads in excess of those shown can be accommodated by modifying the general parameters such as
concrete strength and/or reinforcing patterns.

GENERAL NOTATION

MATERIAL PROPERTIES
Concrete: Steel:
Compressive Strength Prestressing Strand:
Final (28-day) = 5000 psi (Precast) Sizes: 1/2" Diameter
= 3000 psi (Topping) Ultimate Strength = 270,000 psi
At Prestress Release = 3500 to 4000 psi when Initial Tension = 70 to 75% of Ult. Strength
maximum load is used. Modulus of Elasticity = 28,000,000 psi
Otherwise a lower
strength may be sufficient. Reinforcing Steel:
Bar Sizes: 4, 5 and 6 are A706, Grade 60
Bar Sizes: 7 and larger are A615, Grade 60
Normal Weight = 150 pcf 1.5
Modulus of Elasticity = W 33 f 'c

FLEXURAL MEMBERS
In general, maximum spans shown for the various prestressing conditions will result in an upward camber under dead
load, after loss of prestress has occurred. Roof deflection, however, should always be checked. It is recommended that
a positive slope always be provided for roofs. Whenever span-to-depth ratio exceeds 30 for double tees a positive roof
slope is essential to preclude ponding. Also, see the 2006 Edition “International Building Code” IBC.

Topping Slab Design by Others

For composite members, reinforcement (i.e., welded wire fabric or reinforcing bar) is generally required for the
structural design of the topping slab. The Engineer of Record should furnish this design.

DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS Maximum Bottom Range of Maximum Precast

Tension Stress Span-To-Depth Ratio

Double Tee Floor Slabs 12 f 'c 25 to 30

Double Tee Roof Slabs 12 f 'c 35 to 40

Inverted Tee or ELL Beams 6 f 'c 10 to 20

Hollow Core Slabs 6 f 'c 45 to 50

The required depth of a beam or slab is influenced by the ratio of live load to total load. When this ratio is high, deeper
sections may be needed.

3. Duck layer reinforced: Conform to Division II, Sect.
18.10.2 of AASHTO Standard Specifications for
Highway Bridges or Military Specification MIL-C-
882D.
4. Plastic: Multimonomer plastic strips shall be non-
leaching and support construction loads with no visible
overall expansion.
2.02 CONCRETE MIXES
A. 28-day compressive strength: 5000 psi min.
B. Prestress release strength: 3000 psi min.
C. Non-prestress stripping strength: 2500 psi min.
2.03 PRODUCTION
A. Production tolerances shall comply with PCI MNL-116.
B. Finishes:
1. Standard underside: Resulting from casting against
approved forms using good industry practice in
cleaning of forms, design of concrete mix, placing and
curing. Small surface holes caused by air bubbles,
normal color variations, normal form joint marks, and
minor chips and spalls shall be tolerated, but no major
or unsightly imperfections, honeycomb, or other
defects shall be permitted.
2. Standard top: Result of vibrating screed and additional
hand finishing at projections. Normal color variations,
minor indentations, minor chips and spalls shall be
permitted. No major imperfections, honeycomb, or
defects shall be permitted.
C. Patching: Shall be acceptable providing the structural
adequacy and appearance of the product are not impaired.
D. Openings: Openings shall be located and field drilled or
cut by the trade requiring them after the
precast/prestressed concrete products have been erected.
Openings shall be approved by the architect/engineer and
coordinated with the producer before drilling or cutting.
3. FIELD EXECUTION
3.01 ERECTION
A. General contractor shall be responsible for:
1. Providing suitable access to the building, proper
drainage and firm, level bearing for the hauling and
erection equipment to operate under their own power.
2. Providing true, level bearing surfaces on all field
placed bearing walls and other field places supporting
members.
3. Placement and accurate alignment of anchor bolts,
plates or dowels in column footings, grade beams and
other field placed supporting members.
4. All shoring, ir required, for composite beams and slabs.
B. Installation: Installation of precast/prestressed concrete
shall be performed by the producer or a competent erector.
Members shall be lifted by means of suitable lifting
devices at points provided by the producer. Temporary
shoring and bracing, if necessary, shall comply with
producer’s recommendations.
C. Alignment: Members shall be properly aligned and leveled
as required by the approved erection drawings. Variations
between adjacent members shall be reasonably leveled out
by jacking, loading, or any other feasible method as
recommended by the producer and acceptable to the
architect/engineer.
3.02 FIELD WELDING
Field welding is to be done by certified welders using
equipment and materials compatible with the base
material. Methods shall be in accordance with AWS D1.1
and AWS D1.4.
3.03 ATTACHMENTS
Subject to approval of the architect/engineer,
precast/prestressed concrete products may be drilled or
“shot” provided no contact is made with the prestressing
steel. Should spalling occur, the repair of the spall shall
be the responsibility of the trade doing the drilling or the
shooting.
3.04 INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE
Final inspection and acceptance of erected
precast/prestressed concrete shall be made by the
architect/engineer within a reasonable time after the work
is completed.
