Summary

Basics of Design & Inspection of Pre-Stressed and Post Tensioned Concrete Structures
This seminar introduces different techniques used in the pre-stressing process and demonstrates the effect of pre-stressing force on members. The design procedures of different members such as beams and slabs are presented. It also covers practical examples relating to the use of post-tensioning members. Theoretical concepts and practical methods to design, create structural drawings and inspect the structural members are discussed.

Thorough understanding of the course material is ensured by including several design examples and solving them in design workshops.

Advanced Design & Inspection of Post Tensioned Concrete Slabs and Continuous Beams
This seminar is built on the basics of of the design presented in other seminar, which introduces different techniques used in the pre-stressing process and demonstrates the effect of pre-stressing force on members. The design of continuous beams and the effect of the continuity of the beams will be discuss and presented. The design of the post tensioned concrete slabs will be explained. The requirements for inspection of bonded posttensioned members and the mortar’s tests required will be explained.

Thorough understanding of the course material is ensured by including different design examples and inspection criterion.
