(3 units). Behavior and analysis of prestressed concrete elements subjected to axial loads, flexure and shear: material properties; prestressing systems; linear and non-linear behavior; deflections; compression-field approaches; disturbed regions; restraint of deformations; design requirements; applications to pressure vessels, bridges and frames. This course is equivalent to CIVE 5206 at Carleton University. Course Component: Lecture
