Course Objectives:
1. To learn the principles, materials, methods and systems of prestressing
2. To know the different types of losses and deflection of prestressed members
3. To learn the design of prestressed concrete beams for flexural members
Expected Course Outcome:
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to
1. Understand the concepts of pre-tensioning and post-tensioning members
2. Design a prestressed concrete beam accounting for losses
3. Evaluate the deflection and crack width of prestressed members
4. Design the member subjected to flexure and shear.
5. Design the member subjected to torsion.
