At the end of the course, students are able to:
1. Identify the main and important design aspects and requirements for
prestressed concrete.
2. Apply the principles of structural mechanics to compute suitable
prestressing force and eccentricity for design of simply supported
flexural members
3. Employ the concepts of kern of section and pressure line to
determine a suitable cable profile
4. Recognize the influence of prestress losses and calculate its effects
on the design.
5. Evaluate the ultimate strength of prestressed sections and employ it
as a design check.
6. Synthesize all the components of flexural prestressed member design
to prepare and produce a complete set of calculations and working
Problem solving, critical thinking and design skills
Prestressing concepts, structural applications. Material requirements,
prestressing methods and system. Limit state design, serviceability
classifications, stress limitations. Design of prestressed beam. Cable
profile. Prestress losses. Ultimate limit strength check.
