Design of Prestressed Concrete

Part 1 Basic concepts: methods of prestressing; transverse forces caused by draped tendons; calculation of elastic stresses; flexural behaviour; design procedures. Part 2 Design properties of materials: composition of concrete; strength and deformation of concrete; predictions of the creep coefficient and shrinkage; thermal expansion; steel used for prestressing; steel relaxation; non-prestressed reinforcement. Part 3 Design for serviceability: stress limits; determination of prestress and eccentricity in flexural members; cable profiles; short-term analysis of cross-sections; time-dependent analysis of cross-sections; losses of prestress; deflection calculations. Part 4 Ultimate flexural strength: flexural behaviour at overloads; flexural strength theory; approximate code-orientated procedures; design calculations; flanged sections. Part 5 Design for shear and torsional strength: shear in beams; torsion in beams; shear in slabs and footings. Part 6 Anchorage zones: pretensioned concrete-force transfer by bond; post-tensioned concrete anchorage zones. Part 7 Composite construction: types and advantages of composite construction; behaviour of composite members; stages of loading; determination of prestress; methods of analysis at service loads; ultimate strength analysis; horizontal shear transfer; untimate shear strength. Part 8 Design procedures for determinate beams: types of section; initial trial section; design procedures - fully prestressed members, partially prestressed beam. Part 9 Statically indeterminate members: tendon profiles; continuous beams; statically indeterminate frames; design of continuous beams. Part 10 Two-way slabs - behaviour and design: effects of prestress; design approach; one-way slabs; two-way edge-supported slabs; flat plate slabs; flat slabs with drop panels; band-beam and slab systems. Part 11 Two-way slabs - serviceability: the balanced load stage; initial sizing of slabs; a review of simplified slab deflection models; long-term deflections. Part 12 Compression and tension members: types of compression members; classification and behaviour of compression members; cross-sectional analysis compression and bending; slenderness effects; reinforcement requirements in compression members; tensio members.
