PCI RESOURCES
PCI develops, maintains, and disseminates the Body of Knowledge for designing, fabricating, and constructing precast concrete structures and systems. It is from this Body of Knowledge that building codes, design guides, education, and certification programs are derived. Please visit pci.org/design for all of these design resources and more.
Architectural Precast Concrete Color and Texture Selection Guide, 2nd Edition (CTG-10)
The Architectural Precast Concrete Color and Texture Selection Guide has been updated with 12 new color and texture pages, plus identification pages with mixture designs. This edition includes nine new color pages with two new colors per page, two pages of new formliners, and one page of new clay brick-faced precast concrete. The numbers in the guide have not been changed, so that there is no confusion between the old and the new versions.
