Advanced Precast, Prestressed Concrete Module 1: Torsion

Pdf Summary

This document is a course overview for an advanced prestressed concrete design course. The course includes sessions on different aspects of precast/prestressed building design, such as torsion design, ledge design, bearing on concrete, dapped end design, design of axially loaded members, corbel design, and special topics. The design procedures are based on the ACI 318-14 code and the PCI Handbook, 8th Edition. The document provides an introduction to the course and describes the building example that will be used throughout the course. It also explains the background of the design provisions and the material requirements. The document includes diagrams and equations to illustrate the design process for different components of a typical precast/prestressed building.
