Learning outcome

The subject will give basic knowledge to principles and methods for design of prestressed concrete, prefabricated concrete structures and foundations.

The course has the following learning objectives:

Knowledge: The candidate shall have knowledge about:

  • The prestressing steel material properties
  • The structural effect of prestressing, and practical performance
  • Design of prestressed concrete structures in the service and ultimate limit states
  • General performance of concrete element structures
  • Design of horizontal and vertical composed concrete element plates
  • Design and performance of different types of precast concrete elements and foundations

Skills:

The candidate can:

  • Design and verify that different types of prestressed concrete structures have sufficient capacity in ULS and SLS
  • Design the most common types of precast concrete elements and the connections between them
  • Design of columns and wall foundations.

General competence:

The candidate can:

  • Understand how prestressed reinforcement work in different structures
  • Understand the design basis of prestressed concrete, precast concrete elements and foundations

Sustainability competence: The course contributes to design of safe, economical and sustainable concrete structures. Design of durable structures with long service life. Choice of construction method to optimize designs and minimize the environmental impact from concrete.
