Prestressing Design: Cable Geometry and Losses Calculation

Description

This lecture covers the design of prestressed concrete structures, focusing on cable geometry, losses calculation, and the effects of shrinkage and creep. It explains the approach to consider prestressing, deformations, and internal forces exerted by cables on reinforced concrete. Different types of forces between cables and concrete are discussed, along with examples of simple and hyperstatic beams with centered and parabolic cables.
