Course Description

This course will cover the design and analysis of pre-stressed (PC) and post-tensioned (PT) concrete elements under flexural, shear, and axial stresses. The emphasis will be the fundamental behaviours and principles within the mechanics and strength of materials. The course will also include concepts involved in the analysis and design of PC and PT structures under the framework of the Canadian concretes standard, as well as an understanding of the mechanics and structural principles of code provisions, and application of common theories within applicable structures.

Learner Outcomes

Understand the mechanics and basic principles of strength of materials that govern the behaviour of prestressed and post-tensioned concrete members. Implement and interpret the code provisions in A23.3-14 to analyze both common and uncommon design situations. Apply the equations from A23.3-14 for the design and analysis of members in flexure, shear, and under axial stresses. Identify basic principles of strength of materials and mechanics in the code provisions.
