CEGR 634 - Prestressed Concrete Design

3 hours.
3 Credits

Study of prestressing methods (Pre-tensioning and post-tensioning techniques) including strength and load-balancing approaches and their application to the analysis and design of beams, slabs, and axially loaded members. The course discusses properties of concrete and prestressing steels and topics include PCI and ACI design criteria. Anchorage-zone analysis and design for flexure, shear, torsion, camber and study of deflection and time-dependent losses.
