Learning outcomes
1. Student can name the various principles of prestressing, various prestressing methods, distinguish them and apply them in statically determinate and indeterminate beams;
2. Student can calculate the distribution of forces, including prestressing, of statically determinate and indeterminate beams;
3. Student can draw the detailing of prestressed beams and apply it to practical situations;
4. Student can verify the SLS and ULS for a prestressed beam, both for statically determinate and indeterminate beams.

Content
In Prestressed Concrete Structures, we will be looking at the other possible reinforcement method for concrete. For many large spans, especially within civil engineering, prestressed concrete is a frequently used building material. However, prestressed concrete involves fundamentally different forces and structural assumptions compared to reinforced concrete.Based on statically determinate and indeterminate beams, the various prestressing systems, the calculation of the prestressing, the distribution of forces and the forces involved will be covered. The details of the various components of a prestressed beam are also specified and applied.
