Course Description
Presenting the latest developments in construction technology and economics of post-tensioning, structural design, code provisions, and software tools, this course will provide the know-how and means for efficient, economical and serviceable designs of post-tensioned buildings and parking structures. It starts with the introduction of current post-tensioning systems, construction practice and economics of both grouted and unbonded options. It proceeds to cover modern design concepts and design procedures for beams, one-way and column supported flat slab floor systems. This is followed by the introduction to Component Technology, the state-of-the-art method for creating structural models for analysis and design of floor systems. There is an optional 3rd day involving hands-on Software and Design Training in a computer laboratory. The workshop is for those interested in hands-on training in design of post-tensioned buildings. Starting with an architect's drawing, the participants will be walked through the design process to the creation of the construction and fabrication drawings, using the latest ADAPT software. The course is aimed at: structural engineers engaged in concrete and/or post-tensioning design; contractors interested in the design of post-tensioned structures; engineers responsible for the review of post-tensioned designs; academics and students having an interest and background in concrete design; building officials and city plan checkers; engineers charged with retrofit of post-tensioned buildings; forensic engineers who deal with post-tensioned structures.
