PCI MNL-140-12的目的是帮助使用2006版IBC的抗震设计规定设计预制混凝土结构。详细讨论了IBC的抗震设计规定，并在本出版物中举例说明了位于低、中、高地震危险区的典型建筑和停车场结构，这些建筑和停车场结构建立在不同类型的土壤上。在示例中，结构构件根据IBC第19章进行设计和详细说明，该章主要基于ACI 318-05，并进行了一些修改，以及ASCE 7-05。

The purpose of PCI MNL-140-12 is to assist in the design of precast concrete structures using the seismic design provisions of the 2006 edition of the IBC. The seismic design provisions of the IBC are discussed in detail and are illustrated in this publication with examples of typical building and parking structures located in regions of low, moderate, and high seismic hazard and founded on different types of soil. In the examples, structural members are designed and detailed according to Chapter 19 of the IBC, which is based primarily on ACI 318-05 with a few modifications as well as ASCE 7-05.
