Design of Data Centres Using Precast Prestressed Concrete
Course Information
Building a data centre requires careful design and construction considerations. For maximum effectiveness, a data centre must accommodate ever-increasing equipment loads and protect sensitive equipment from climate change and human-made disasters. Ozzy Dervisoglu provides an Introduction to Data Centres. Karl Truderung discusses Design Considerations and Ben Bayat Showcases a recently completed Precast Data Centre.
