Reinforced or prestressed concrete, it's not just about cost. Every span you design carries real tradeoffs: cracking under service loads, camber control during staging, segment weights your contractor's crane can't handle. The choice between RC and PSC touches more of your project than the estimate sheet, and getting it wrong shows up in the field, not the office.
The answer involves a layered evaluation of structural performance, constructability, long-term durability, and project-specific constraints, and knowing the right approach and tools is what moves the decision forward with confidence.
This two-part series is built for exactly that. Structured as a live, flexible workshop, the series walks you through the complete engineering decision path – from multi-stage structural evaluation to validated, defensible design decisions. Session 1 grounds you in a real case study. Session 2 equips you with the know-hows from the tools.
Attend both sessions (2 PDH total) and leave with a repeatable process for making the RC vs. PSC call and the modeling skills to back it up.
