Catalog Description:
Basic principles, short and long-term properties of constituent materials, partial prestressing. Flexural behavior, analysis and design of prestressed concrete beams, classes, cracking, pretensioning, post-tensioning, service load design, load balancing, strength design, strain limits, flexural efficiency. Bond , transfer and development lengths, anchorage zone design. Shear and diagonal tension. Evaluation of immediate and long-term losses. Composite construction and design, shear-friction theory. Deflection calculation using approximate single time step approach. Objectives: 1- To develop firm basic understanding of the fundamental principles of prestressed concrete behavior, and prestressing capabilities. 2- To be fully aware of the differences in the material properties and structural behavior of prestressed versus reinforced concrete elements. 3- To be able to handle with confidence complete design of prestressed concrete elements using various approaches. 4- To apply fundamental concepts of analysis and design of prestressed concrete structures.
