Prestressed Concrete Structures ENG716
Introduction
This unit introduces the principles and materials used in prestressed concrete design. The unit explores in details the design of prestressed concrete structures for serviceability and strength by covering essential topics such as the design of statically determinate and indeterminate beams and also losses – short and long term effects and anchorage zone design. The syllabus also covers the use of commercial software such as INDUCTA and/or RAPT to design prestressed concrete members.
