In this course students will be introduced to prestressed concrete design. Prestressed concrete design concepts will be covered. The different methods of prestressing (pre-tensioning and post-tensioning) will be expounded on. Examples will be covered that will bring the theoretical concepts to life. This course is a very basic course that can be used as a prerequisite to a future prestressed concrete bridge design course.
Who is the target audience?
