Course contents :
|
| Prestressed Concrete Structures:
The course on Prestressed Concrete Structures will cover the following topics:
- Concept of prestressed concrete and properties of prestressing steel
- Technology of prestressed concrete
- Behaviour of prestressed members subjected to axial loads
- Behaviour of members subjected to flexure
- Design of members subjected to flexure
- Statically-indeterminate prestressed structures
- Design for shear forces
- Design of reinforced and prestressed concrete members and regions with complex deformation patterns by using strut-and-tie models
|

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Prestressed Concrete Structures:
Students who complete this course will gain a thorough understanding of the behaviour of prestressed concrete members subjected to axial forces, bending, and shear. They will develop skills to predict this behaviour, including the effects of temperature, creep and shrinkage by using first principles: equilibrium, stress-strain relationships for materials, and compatibility of deformations. Using this knowledge they will then learn how to design individual structural members such as prestressed girders and slabs. Students will also analyze statically indeterminate prestressed structures by using different approaches from structural mechanics. Finally, students will gain detailed knowledge in the design of reinforced and prestressed concrete members and regions with complex geometry by using strut-and-tie models. Such members include deep beams, joints, corbels, and other disturbed regions. |

Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Prestressed Concrete Structures:
Solid and material mechanics, Structural mechanics, Reinforced concrete structures |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Prestressed Concrete Structures:
The classes will consist of lectures and tutorial sessions with each activity taking approximately half of the class time. The lectures will provide the theory of prestressed concrete while the tutorial sessions will be focused on the application of the theory for the analysis and design of prestressed members. In the tutorial sessions the students will be shown practical examples and will work on problems under the supervision of the professor and the teaching assistant. Students will be provided with handouts summarizing important information presented in the lectures. Reference books will be recommended for additional reading. As part of the learning process students will be expected to complete a number of quizzes and homework assignments. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Face-to-face |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Prestressed Concrete Structures:
Required readings: class notes and handouts
Recommended readings: to be given in class |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Prestressed Concrete Structures:
The evaluation of students will be based on homework assignments and a final exam. The final exam will consist of written and oral parts. The oral exam will be used mainly to evaluate whether the student understands the theory of prestressed concrete while the written exam will be focused mainly on the student's ability to solve practical problems related to the analysis and design of prestressed concrete members. |
