Basic Prestressed Concrete Design Part 2: Simple Examples, Loads and Code Organization-Basic Prestressed Concrete Design

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Summary:<br /><br />The first video is a detailed explanation of pre-stressed concrete design. The speaker covers the organization of the course, provides an overview of the topics to be discussed, and focuses on two design examples. They explain the properties of the concrete block, material properties of the concrete and pre-stressing strands, and demonstrate how to calculate strains and stresses using deformation compatibility and transformed area. The concept of stress loss due to elastic shortening is also discussed. The video concludes by highlighting the advantages of pre-stressed concrete design. No credits were granted.<br /><br />The second video discusses the calculation of stresses and forces in prestressed concrete. It explains the concept of transformed area and mentions the reorganization of the ACI 318 code in 2014. The video refers to ACI 318-14 and IBC 2015 as governing codes and mentions the presence of exclusions for prestressed concrete in previous versions of the code. The chapters in the PCI design handbook are outlined, including appendices on blast design, structural integrity, and diaphragm design. No credits were granted.<br /><br />Both videos provide valuable information on pre-stressed concrete design and its calculation process. The first video focuses on design examples, while the second video discusses the ACI 318 code and provides a roadmap of the chapters in the PCI design handbook.
