The growth of precast and prestressed concrete is a story of the vision and daring of a few notable people.

These people took a new idea and maximized its potential by modifying and improving existing methods, conceiving new methods, and inventing new devices, all with a focus on mass production techniques.

An excellent portrayal of the beginnings and the growth of precast and prestressed concrete in North America.

The early pioneers is given in a series of papers [1] developed to commemorate the 25-Year Silver Jubilee of the founding of the Prestressed Concrete Institute.

It is now known as the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI)
