Workshop Scope
The Transportation Infrastructure Precast Innovation Center (TRANS-IPIC) is a University Transportation Center (UTC) federally funded by the USDOT and is the first consortium to address the durability of the U.S.'s transportation infrastructure by focusing on Precast Concrete (PC)-related technologies. Our research seeks to advance the holistic infrastructure PC construction, implementation, and maintenance process.
Who Should Attend?
TRANS-IPIC 2025 Workshop is for engineers, researchers, and industry members interested in advancing their knowledge of Precast Concrete (PC), PC-related technologies, and utilizing PC to boost durability and safety of various transportation modes in the U.S. through infrastructure repair and reconstruction.
