Course Description
This course provides the students with a deep understanding of the concepts of pre-stressed structural concrete calculations and their advantages in structures and designs, the behaviours of hollow core slabs, along with the following topics: single-T and double-T beams, under different conditions, fundamental structural formulas for pre-stressed concrete used to understand their behaviour for external subjective forces in large spans and how to apply structural design in the practical structural engineering domain. Topics will also include the concepts of pre-stressed concrete, the difference between reinforced concrete (RC) and pre-stressed concrete (PC), materials and equipment requirements, methods of pre-stressing, the loss of pre-stress, analysis of flexural members, design of flexural pre-stressed concrete members, cracking moment, design for shear and preliminary design of pre-stressed concrete flexural members.
