  • PRINCIPLES OF PRESTRESSED AND PRECAST CONCRETE DESIGN

PRINCIPLES OF PRESTRESSED AND PRECAST CONCRETE DESIGN

About this Course

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.
