SYNOPSIS
The Committee on Concrete in the Japan Society of Civil Engineers (JSCE)
organized the Subcommittee on Recommendations for Design and Construction of
Structures by Prestressed Concrete Panel Composite Slab Method in 1984 when
private companies entrusted the research to JSCE.
The "recommendations for design and construction of structures by prestressed
concrete panel composite slab method" was drawn up in 1987 by the research
subcommittee on the basis of the results of research and actual applications in
construction work.
