Lecture

Prestressed Concrete: Design and Post-Tensioning

Description

This lecture covers the design aspects of prestressed concrete, focusing on the use of post-tensioning techniques, the types of prestressing steel, and the resistance to outflow. The instructor explains the process of prestressing by post-tension, the initial prestressing force, and the grip mechanisms. Additionally, the lecture discusses the behavior of single beams with parabolic cables under loads, emphasizing how the prestress compensates for the effects of permanent loads.
