Precast/prestressed concrete technology has undergone much development in the past 50 years,such that it is emerging as a choice for variety of structures, for example, residential, industrial and office buildings, warehouses, parking structures, stadiums and bridges. Structures constructed of Precast/prestressed concrete components have higher construction speed, better quality control and durability. The prestressed structures have greater span-depth ratio and material saving. These structures can have all sorts of architectural finishes and shapes.

CECSoft is capable of meeting the growing demand of Precast/prestressed concrete design. PCPack 2010-5 analyses and designs the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Structural Components viz., Slabs(Hollow Core, Solid and Double- Tee), Beams (Rectangular, L-shaped and Inverted-Tee), Columns, Wall Panels, Staircases, Connections, Foundations and Piles(Sheet Pile and Bearing Pile).

CECSoft has following new releases:
