C&ENVENG 7107 - Prestressed Concrete Structures

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2014

Introduction to prestressed concrete-prestressing concepts; pre-tensioning and post-tensioning; full and partial prestress; the need for prestress; advantages and disadvantages; methods of prestressing. Forces imposed by prestressing (straight, draped and kinked tendon profiles). Load balancing. Introductory examples. Design requirements: strength and serviceability. Material properties. Design for serviceability: stress limits; serviceability criteria; determination of prestress and eccentricity; cable profiles; cracked section analysis; decompression and cracking moment; effect of cracking at service loads; short-term deflection calculations; crack control; design for strength: limit state design. Rectangular stress block. Ultimate moment capacity. Effect of non-prestressed steel; ductility; transfer strength; design for shear-effect of prestress on shear; stirrup design. Special problems in prestressing: losses; effect of creep and shrinkage; end block design-bursting and spalling forces in post anchorages; transmission lengths in pre-tensioned members. Statically indeterminate beams: introduction to continuous prestressed concrete beams; secondary moments.
