Project: Students will be divided into groups of 3 to work on different projects which will beassigned in the classroom. The project includes a 15 minute presentation by each student (plus
five minutes for questions) using PowerPoint. Each group will be required to submit a final report
one week following their presentations. The total mark for the project will be equally divided
between the report and the presentation (15% each). The report includes an assigned problem

COURSE NAME: Prestressed Concrete
COURSE OUTLINE
Activity
1 Basic Concept of Prestressing; Pretensioning and post-Tensioning Technology; PrestressLoss; Material Properties;
2 Response of Members Subjected to Axial Load
3 Design for Flexure; Deflection of Prestressed Concrete Beams
4 Members Subjected to Shear; Design for Shear
5 Members Subjected to Torsion; Design for Torsion
6 Disturbed Regions; Strut and Tie Model; Design for Anchorage Zones
Course Description: The primary objective of this course is to explain the basic concepts
necessary to understand and predict the response of prestressed concrete members and to design
prestressed concrete structures. Basic Concept of prestressing including pretensioning and post-
tensioning technology will be reviewed. A comprehensive summary of the material properties of
concrete and prestressing steel is given. The course provides a basic understanding of prestressed
concrete behaviour including design procedure for members subjected to flexure and shear and
estimating relevant deflection of prestressed concrete beams. The course also demonstrates
briefly how the basic principles can be applied in the design of special prestressed structures such
as prestressed concrete bridges and prestressed concrete Containment Structures.
