Design of Prestressed Concrete Structures

CE 57200

Credit Hours:

3

Instructor:

Dr. Julio Ramirez

Description:

This course integrates science and engineering principles to design prestressed concrete members and structural systems.  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. 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 following subjects are used to solve engineering problems: strength of materials, structural analysis, calculus and differential equations; use of computer tools, data manipulation, statistical analysis, numerical calculation, and reinforced concrete design principles.
