Week Topics
1 The concept of ""prestige"" and the history of prestressed concrete. Prestressed concrete structural materials.
2 Prestressing techniques: externally prestressed, internally (wired) prestressing; pre-stretching, post-stretching.Patent pre-tensioning techniques.
3 Prestressed concrete calculation methods: calculations in operating conditions, final limit status checks. Pre-stressed cross-sectional effects on bars. Assumptions about stress and strain.
4 Pressure center, sectional efficiency (efficiency), central core and account, pressure core, tensile core, limit core. Absolute minimum of prestressing force. Critical section, critical clearance.
5 Cable passage core, cable passage area. Determination of cable passage area with absolute minimum of prestress. Critical cross section is residual and biasing force. Prestressing force in composite sections.
6 Cable passage core, cable passage area. Determination of absolute minimum prestressed cable crossing area. Critical transverse section residual and bending strength. Prestressing force in composite sections.
7 Cable provision and cable withdrawal, cable after all. Prerecorded losses: Friction loss, loss of anchorage seats. Examples of friction and anchorage loss losses. Pre-stress loss due to concrete elastic shortness: after pre-stretching and stretching. Preventive losses due to concrete shrinkage and shrinkage
8 Prestressed steels are loosened and relaxed, which leads to premature failure, loss attempts. Records of related Turkish and foreign regulations lost.
9 Final limit state checks: rectangle and T section. Determination of limit values for consumables.
10 Calculation and determination according to shear forces: shear-shear accessory account. Sewing equipment and account in composite sections. Other evaluations of composite sections.
11 Control of prestressing. Measurement errors and elimination.
12 Constant (hyperstatic) structures. Calculation of prestressed indeterminate internal forces: equivalent load method, impact line method.
13 Construction techniques without scaffolding in reinforced concrete structures: construction methods, riding methods, other methods.
14 Construction techniques without scaffolding in reinforced concrete structures: construction methods, riding methods, other methods.
