A sound understanding of structural behaviour at all stages of loading is essential. This course is available to practicing engineers for 1.5 CEUs for learners completing the course on the verified track.The design of structures in general, and prestressed concrete structures in particular, requires considerably more information than is contained in building codes. Fundamentals of Prestressed Concrete (this course).In the edX platform, the course is developed in three modules each of 1-credit. The following subjects are used to solve engineering problems: calculus and differential equations use of computer tools, data manipulation, statistical analysis, numerical calculation, and reinforced concrete design principles. Design of pretensioned Hollow-Core slabs, Double-Tee and I-Beam members, and one-way post-tensioned floor slabs is exercised using current building code requirements to provide experiences in realistic design practice.
The application of scientific and engineering knowledge is demonstrated in solving engineering problems associated with the design of precast prestressed building members both composite and non-composite for superimposed loads, and one-way post-tensioned floor slabs systems bonded and unbonded also composite and non-composite for superimposed loads. It integrates science and engineering principles to design prestressed concrete members and structural systems.
This module is currently offered in the Lyles School of Civil Engineering as part of the CE57200 “Prestressed Concrete Design” 3-Credits (CR) course in the area of structural engineering available to senior undergraduate/graduate students.
