This course discusses a principle and a behaviour of prestressed concrete structures. Prestressed concrete structures are one of the most reasonable structures that consider the properties of concrete and steel. Nonlinear force-deformation characteristics and shear behaviour of concrete structures will be presented. Topics dealt in this course include:

1. Basic Concepts of Prestressing
2. Pretensioning and Post-Tensioning Technology
3. Material Properties
4. Response of Members Subjected to Axial Load
5. Response of Members Subjected to Flexure
6. Response of Members Subjected to Shear
7. Design of Members
