CIV518

Course Description

Completion The course discusses the properties of pre-stressed concrete constituents; the applications of pre-stressed concrete elements and components in various Civil Engineering applications. This course mainly covers the analysis of flexural behavior of simple and composite pre-stressed concrete girders; calculation of pre-stressed losses for simple prestressed concrete beams; design of pre-stressed concrete beams for flexure using current design procedures; construction of moment-curvature and load- deflection curves for pre-stressed concrete beams. The analysis and design of pre-stressed concrete columns and simple slabs are also covered in this course
