Description

PT concrete structures are thought of as revolutionary in the field of structural engineering with numerous applications nowadays. That being said, they are one of the most complex structural systems both in terms of design and execution on site, however, they bring unmatched advantages in terms of speed of construction, slim structural depths, and longer uninterrupted spans that is hardly matched by any other form of conventional concrete.


Whether you are a student at uni, a graduate engineer, or a structural civil engineer in your early to mid of your career, this course will be suited for you to gain insight into the fundamental knowledge and terminology that is commonly used in the industry . This course is also suited to non-structural engineers, such as building professionals who are looking to gain more knowledge about the topic of PT structures.


We will go over the fundamental design philosophy of PT structures, their applications, benefits, terminology, and we will touch on the elastic stress analysis of typical PT floors.


Fundamental knowledge of basic structural engineering knowledge is required, and it is preferred if you have undertaken the RC floors design course beforehand as a refresher of such design basics.


My name is Wahid Elgohary and I will be your instructor for this introductory course to pre-stressed and post-tensioned concrete, lets get started!

Who this course is for:

  • Structural engineers and Structural Engineering Students
  • Building Professionals
