PurdueX: Fundamentals of Prestressed Concrete
Learn the fundamentals of prestressed concrete design and the mechanics of how prestressed materials work under load. The prestressing mechanism provides strength for tensile forces when the material is in service; a common example of use of prestressed concrete is in parking garages.

The course is developed in three modules each of 1-CR. This is Module 1 and must be taken first if the student is not familiar with the subject of the course. Module 1 provides the fundamentals. It requires CE473 or similar. CE 47300: Reinforced Concrete Design or equivalent.
Description: This course integrates science and engineering principles to design reinforced concrete beams, one-way slabs, and columns. These include determination of strength, detailing of reinforcement, and service load considerations such as crack control and deflections. The following subjects are used to solve engineering problems: calculus and differential equations, data manipulation, statistical analysis, strength of materials, and structural mechanics. Additional requirement: Working knowledge of basic software such as MathCAD, Excel or similar.
Module 3 addresses post-tensioned construction, and has Module 1 or equivalent as prerequisite.
