Advanced Prestressed Session 3 Exam

Description

This is the exam for Session 3 of PCI's Advanced Prestressed Design Academy: Bearing on Concrete and Dapped End Design

You must pass this exam with a 70% or higher to receive credit for this session. The recording of this session is available, should you need to review it.

Throughout this course, design of different components of a typical precast/prestressed building will be presented. The building selected was a parking garage located in a low seismic region. Background to the design provisions will be first presented followed by use of design equations. The material presented assumes a basic knowledge of design provisions for precast/prestressed concrete elements such as that provided in the PCI Academy Basic Prestressed Concrete Class. Design procedures are based on the ACI 318-14 Code and the PCI Handbook, 8th Edition (Chapter 5).

After completing this session, participants should:

Be able to check bearing strength of concrete for unreinforced and reinforced cases.
Understand the failure mechanisms involved in dapped ends by focusing on recent research results.
Understand the load transfer characteristics of dapped ends.
Be able to apply design procedures specific to dapped ends with an emphasis on proper detailing for adequate performance.
