It is assumed that students have a knowledge of linear elastic analysis of uncracked and cracked sections, equivalent loads and load balancing techniques and design for ultimate moment capacity and strength at transfer. On the basis of this assumed knowledge, analysis and design for shear and end block reinforcement in prestressed concrete beams will be covered initially; analysis and design of tension members, compression members, continuous beams and continuous flat slabs, in accordance with the requirements of the current version of AS3600 Concrete Structures will then be covered. In addition, the subject may also cover analysis and design for torsion or of bandbeam slab systems.

Assessment: Assignments (25 per cent), quizzes (40 per cent), final examination (35 per cent).
