CIV-E4050 - Prestressed and Precast Concrete Structures D, Lecture, 13.9.2021-27.10.2021

Guest access
Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • give knowledge of factors to be considered in the design of prestressed concrete structures
  • understand the difference between pre- and post-tensioned suystems for structural behaviour
  • learn to design and analyse prestressed concrete and concrete composite structures
  • understand the roles of different limit states in the design of prestressed structures
  • learn to consider the influence of time-dependency of materials on structural reliability
  • learn to consider specific features of precast concrete structures: connections, stability, prevention of progressive collapse, ductility
  • give knowledge of the design and manufacturing of Finnish precast concrete products

(The course is a part of the requirements for designers of reinforced concrete structures in Finland)
