COURSE NAME: Prestressed Concrete 

COURSE OUTLINE

Activity

1 Basic Concept of Prestressing; Pretensioning and post-Tensioning Technology; PrestressLoss; Material Properties;

2 Response of Members Subjected to Axial Load

3 Design for Flexure; Deflection of Prestressed Concrete Beams

4 Members Subjected to Shear; Design for Shear

5 Members Subjected to Torsion; Design for Torsion

6 Disturbed Regions; Strut and Tie Model; Design for Anchorage Zones

Course Description:  The primary objective of this course is to explain the basic concepts

necessary to understand and predict the response of prestressed concrete members and to design

 prestressed concrete structures. Basic Concept of prestressing including pretensioning and post-

tensioning technology will be reviewed. A comprehensive summary of the material properties of

concrete and prestressing steel is given. The course provides a basic understanding of prestressed

concrete behaviour including design procedure for members subjected to flexure and shear and

estimating relevant deflection of prestressed concrete beams. The course also demonstrates

 briefly how the basic principles can be applied in the design of special prestressed structures such

as prestressed concrete bridges and prestressed concrete Containment Structures.
