Course Contents

_Principles of design of prestressed structures. Prestressing materials and techniques. Types,
characteristics and mechanical properties of tendons.
_Prestressing systems.
_Structural elements under central or eccentric prestressing force.
_Design at the serviceability limit state.
_Cracking check.
_Preload losses (momentary and long-term)
_Tendon anchoring systems. Single and multiple anchoring systems.
_Design to failure limit state. Bending and shear checks.
_Partial prestressing.

Educational Goals

Upon successful completion of the course students will be able to:
1. Understand the behavior and design principles of prestressed concrete structures for various
prestressing methods.
2. To design and dimension prestressed concrete structural elements against bending and shear.
3. Calculate the stress state of prestressed members, calculate the prestress losses and design the
tendons.
