Pre-Stressed and Post Tensioned Concrete Structures; Design and Inspection Course
Introduction:
Course Objectives:
To explain the pre-stressing and post-tensioning processes, provide relevant design concepts for the pre-stressed and post-tensioned concrete elements, discuss the creation of structural drawings, checking shop drawings, and explain important inspection practices during construction.
Who Should Attend?
Civil engineers, structural engineers, designers, consulting architects, consulting engineers, construction engineers, fabricators, and manufacturers of structural systems, municipal building officials, and field reviewers.
Course Outlines:
After participating in the course, you will be able to:
- Use the basics and principals of pre-stressed and post-tensioned concrete in the design of residential, commercial buildings, parking garages, and other structures.
- Apply the knowledge gained at the seminar in the design and inspection of pre-stressed and post-tensioned concrete structures
- Develop different tendon paths to optimize the member design
- Analyze the effect of the tendon’s force on the structural member in shear, normal stresses and deflection
- Design beams and slabs using different pre-stressing and post-tensioned techniques
