Standards, Specifications and Technical
Documents for Precast Concrete
Many of the documents listed here
are standards, but it is recommended to check with the governing
organization for verification. Each listing features the identification
number, title and governing organization. Check with the governing
organization to determine the most recent revision year.
Since many standard and documents fall under
the jurisdiction of their governing organization, not all
of them are available for download. A list of relevant organizations
is located at the bottom of each section and includes links
to the other organization’s respective Web sites to
learn more information or to purchase their materials.
Disclaimer: While
NPCA committees work hard to keep this database current, documents
may be revised without notice. It is recommended that you
verify the current revision with the appropriate governing
organization. The National Precast Concrete Association does
not assume and hereby disclaims liability to any person for
any loss or damage caused by errors or omissions in the material
contained herein, regardless of whether such errors result
from negligence, accident, or any other cause whatsoever.
