Analysis and Design of Prestressed Concrete

3 credits

Provides an introduction to prestressed concrete. It will focus primarily on flexural members, but will also include axially loaded members. First, the concept of prestressing will be discussed, followed by analysis and design under service loads, then analysis for strength. The discussion will be restricted to statically determinate members.. A design project may also be included as part of the course.
