Course Objectives To introduce the fundamental mechanics of prestressing and its applications to concrete structural elements.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Calculate prestress losses due to several sources
  • Determine the cross section stresses in prestressed concrete flexural members under a given loading
  • Determine the strand number and layout as well as the level of prestress in a flexural member to resist a given loading with a specific cross section
  • Determine whether a given prestressed concrete member has sufficient shear capacity to resist a given loading
Course Content Introduction to prestressing, prestress losses, flexural analysis and design, composite construction, shear, torsion, deflections.
