Module 1
Introduction: Basic concept of prestressing Advantages of prestressed
concrete over reinforced concrete materials for prestressed concrete and
their characteristics. Uniform prestress distribution in prestressed concrete
nonuniform prestress distribution moments of resistance.
Module 2
Systems and methods of prestressing- pre-tensioning systems post
tensioning systems Thermo elastic prestressing chemical
prestressing.Behavior of prestressed concrete beams in flexure : load
deflection curves for prestressed concrete beams Interpreting bending
tests Microcracks and visible cracks Failure.
Module 3
Losses in prestress: purpose of assessing losses counteracting elastic
loss-loss of prestress in case of nonuniform prestress creep, shrinkage,

relaxation and achorage losses friction loss in prestress -graphical

solution of friction losses overcoming friction losses.
