Prestressed Concrete Structures
(analysis and design)
The course will discuss the
fundamentals of the analysis and design of prestressed concrete structures. The
emphasis will be on concepts and design methods prestressed concrete structural
elements. The topics are mainly focused on bridge structures and flat slab
construction, however, applications to framed structures will also be
considered. .
