Research and Development

The mission of PCI Research and Development includes identifying, funding, and executing programs necessary to advance the industry; and disseminating the results of these programs. The PCI Research and Development Council works toward this mission in three ways: specially funded projects, Daniel P. Jenny Fellowships, and partnerships with research centers

• Research Project Reports
  As research projects are completed, reports are submitted and, in most cases, peer-reviewed papers are published in the PCI Journal. Links are provided in this area of the website to the final reports. The website does not currently have the capability to search the reports for keywords. Reports are simply listed in alphabetical order.
  
  For corresponding papers, please refer to www.pci.org/publications/journal. 

 

• Request for Research Fellowship Proposals
  PCI is pleased to announce that several $20,000 awards for the 2012-2013 academic year will be offered under the Daniel P. Jenny Fellowship program. These fellowships are intended primarily for support of candidates for master's degree-level research related to precast/prestressed concrete. Ph.D. candidates will also be considered. Proposals are due at PCI no later than February 20, 2012. The Research and Development Council will meet in late March 2012 to decide on the awards and the results will be available by April 30, 2012. Click here for more information and to access the necessary forms.
