Spancrete’s wealth of information and data allows
designers and builders to proceed with confidence.
Since 1960, the Spancrete Manufacturers’
Association has been conducting extensive
research and testing on prestressed hollowcore
plank. Our products and techniques are
continuously updated in accordance with
changing technologies, codes and applications.
Information and statistical data derived from
these studies have been published and are
available to our customers in several forms.
“Span Notes” directly address features and
benefits as well as aspects of design using
Spancrete plank.“Spancrete Research Notes” provide detailed engineering
data on subjects such as load distribution, shear design, diaphragm action
and other characteristics.We regularly publish brochures illustrating
successful applications of precast plank in a wide variety of structures.
