2. Material properties of prestressing tendons and bars, manufacturing, mechanical properties, types. Prestressing technology, basic terminology. Pretensioned concrete.
3. Post-tensioning operations, technology, prestressing systems.
4. Losses of prestressing. Frictional loss, anchorage set loss.
5. Losses of prestressing due to elastic concrete deformation, relaxation of prestressing reinforcement, creep and shrinkage. Construction and serviceability stages.
6. Effects of prestressing. Equivalent load method, statically determinate and indeterminate structures, concordant tendon, linear transformation of tendon.
