PRINCIPLES OF PRESTRESSED AND PRECAST CONCRETE DESIGN

About this Course

Course Description

This course deals with the principles of prestressed and precast concrete, the application of prestressed and precast components in the context of civil engineering, the design of the prestressed concrete beams, precast concrete frame analysis, joint and connections in precast, and the general practices of precast concrete construction in accordance to the related codes of practice and manuals. This course related to the knowledge gained from the reinforced concrete and the structural analysis courses. From the principle of prestressed concrete, the formulation for design is discussed and the design of the prestressed concrete beam is demonstrated.

Course Learning Outcomes

1 ) Design the prestressed concrete element.
2 ) Conclude the design principles of precast and prestressed elements, knots and connections between member, and the general practices in precast-prestressed concrete construction.
3 ) Propose the relevant principles of the prestressed and precast concrete to suit with their applications.
