This course presents advanced design topics of precast/prestressed components based on information presented in Chapter 5 of the 8th Edition PCI Design Handbook. The course builds on the concepts developed in the Basic Prestressed Concrete Design class offered by PCI. The development of design provisions resulting from recently completed research supported by PCI is emphasized.

After completing this module, participants should:

• Understand how to design double tee flanges under transverse bending.
• Understand how to treat uniformly applied loads and point loads for transverse design of double tee flanges.
• Learn how to design and detail openings in webs of double tees.
• Understand issues related to double tee warping.
