Precast Panel Systems

[CovertShear]

Hello everyone

I'm looking to dive into a self-study session on Precast concrete panel systems for apartment buildings.

The name of the game is pinned connections (I imagine).

What I am looking for (hopefully) is :

• Guidebook for structural design.
• Any publication on structural design.
• Anything on detailing.

If any of you could link me something of the aforementioned points, or point me to a right direction, I would be more than thankful.
I realize this is a broad request and not really specific since I am just starting out with precast panel systems.

PS: My end goal would be to create a functional / appropriate FEM model of a prefab concrete panel system structure.

Cheers

PCI handbook is what you need.
