Each week, The Construction Specifier brings you a quick quiz based on one of our featured articles. This week’s quiz is from Joint connection failures in double-tee garages: Causes and solutions.[2] Precast double-tee parking garages are a familiar part of the urban landscape, recognizable by their rhythmic tire thumps and efficient modular design. But beneath their concrete surfaces lie complex engineering principles, evolving connection systems, and critical maintenance challenges. Test your understanding of this widespread yet often overlooked structural system with the quiz.

Quiz - Apr 8
