– Consists of 25 lectures
– Codes: ACI and BS (technical report 43)
– Programs used: RAM concept
– We have divided this level into four stages:
• Stage No. 1
Presentation about prestressed concrete.
Difference between post tension and precast concrete
Importance of post tension
Components of prestressed system
the value we get by using post tensioned slabs
Difference between distributed and banded system
• Stage No. 2
Theoretical background about balancing load method
ACI code requirements for post tensioned system including (minimum thickness, min. and max.
spacing between tendons, allowable stresses, cross sections types, incremental deflection, long-term
deflection, min. precompression force, etc…..)
Manual calculations of immediate and long term losses
Brief about manual calculations of flexure and shear for post tension
Steps of execution of post tensioned flat slabs for a real project
• Stage No. 3
Introduction about RAM concept program includes:
How to make a DXF using CAD
Modeling of several elements (slabs, beams, columns and walls)
Design strips characteristics
Modeling of tendons and reinforcement
Check incremental and long-term deflection
Check stresses
Exporting tendon layout from RAM to AutoCAD
• Stage No. 4
Implementation on two different projects (garage and residential building)
