Research Notes are helpful technical documents for understanding the technical side of Spancrete® Hollowcore Plank and Wall Panels. The Spancrete Manufacturers’ Association, through their extensive research and testing program, continuously create new Research Notes. For nearly 60 years, Spancrete has been documenting their testing findings and all of the information has been published and is available. With this wealth of information and data, individuals can design and build with added confidence.
