Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations. Education runs in the forms of lectures and trainings. Character of the lectures is based on definition of basic principles, problems and methodology. In the trainings the main subject matters are trained on individually defined projects (examples).

To gain the credit, a student should elaborate individually defined design on a subject matter and tasks. The students are obliged to consult the design continuously in the given terms and submit it to the determined date. An exam consists both of the written part, in which specified task is elaborated, and the theoretical part. To pass the exam successfully, both parts should be accomplished.

1. Introduction, basic concept of prestressing. Behaviour of non-prestressed and prestressed concrete beams. Material properties of concrete, prestressing tendons and bars, manufacturing.
2. Prestressing technology, basic terminology. Pretensioned concrete. Post-tensioning operations, technology, prestressing systems.
3. Prestressing and its changes. Effects of prestressing on concrete members and structures. Equivalent load method. Design of prestressing using the load balancing method. Influence of the construction metod on design of prestressed structures. Structural analysis of segmentally constructed prestressed structures. Closed form solution of rheological effects on the structures.
4. General principles of prestress members dimensioning. Ultimate limit state (ULS) of prestressed members loaded by axial force and bending moment, decompression state, initial stress-state of the cross-section. Prestressed members loaded in shear and torsion, stress analysis, proportioning.
5. Analysis of the anchorage zone - stress, calculation model, check of resistance, reinforcement. Serviceability limit states (SLS). Limitation of stress, crack resistence, calculation of crack width. Control of deflection.
6. Design and realisation of selected prestressed structures of building constructions.
7. Design and realisation of selected prestressed structures both of building and engineering constructions.
8. Design and realisation of selected prestressed structures of engineering construction.
9.Application of prestressing on masonry structures – structural modifications, posibilities of inserting of prestressing, general principles of structural solution and dimensioning.
10. Strengthening of masonry structures by prestressing – possible methods of strengthening, application of unbonded reinforcement, structural modifications, metods of realisation, structural analysis.
11. Design and construction of general types of slabs and girder bridges.
12. Problems of design and construction of bridges built on the stationary and launch scaffolding, cantilever bridges, incrementally launched bridges.
13. Problems of design and construction of precast girder and segmental bridges.
