This document discusses prestressed concrete bridges. It begins with definitions of prestressed concrete as concrete with internal stresses introduced to counteract external loads. It then provides a brief history of prestressed concrete, noting key innovators. Examples of prestressed concrete bridges in India are given, including the famous Pamban Road Bridge. The document goes on to explain the basic principles, terminology, types, and methods of prestressing, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of prestressed concrete.
Prestressed concrete combines high-strength concrete and high-strength steel in an active manner by tensioning steel tendons and holding them against the concrete, putting it into compression. This transforms concrete from a brittle to a more elastic material. It allows for optimal use of each material's properties and better behavior under loads. Prestressed concrete was pioneered in the 1930s and its use has expanded, finding applications in bridges and other structures. Common methods are pretensioning and post-tensioning, using various tendon types, with bonded or unbonded configurations. Tensioning is done using mechanical, hydraulic, electrical or chemical devices.
The document discusses different methods of post-tensioning concrete structures. It describes the Freyssinet system as the first introduced method using steel wires grouped into cables with a helical spring. The Magnel Blaton system stresses wires two at a time using sandwich plates and wedges. The Gifford Udall system uses single wires stressed independently with double-acting jacks and tube or plate anchorages. The Lee McCall system prestresses steel bars using threaded bars tightened with nuts against bearing plates.
This document discusses column jacketing, which is a method of retrofitting and strengthening existing columns. It involves adding reinforced concrete, steel, or fiber-reinforced polymer around the column. The key steps are preparing the column surface, adding shear keys and reinforcement, applying a bonding agent, and casting the new concrete or installing the jacket. Column jacketing increases the strength and seismic capacity of the column. It improves confinement and increases axial, shear, and foundation load capacity without significant weight addition.
Prestressed concrete is a combination of steel and concrete that uses compressive stresses applied during construction to oppose tensile stresses that occur in use. There are three main types: pre-tensioned concrete uses steel tendons tensioned before concrete is placed; bonded post-tensioned concrete uses unstressed steel placed then tensioned after curing; and unbonded post-tensioned concrete provides freedom of movement between steel and concrete. Pre-tensioned concrete requires molds that can resist internal forces and calculations to account for losses over time. Prestressed concrete provides benefits like reduced cracking and corrosion, higher strength, and more economical construction for bridges compared to steel.
This document discusses different methods of prestressing concrete, including pretensioning and post-tensioning. Pretensioning involves stressing steel tendons before placing concrete around them, while post-tensioning involves stressing tendons after the concrete has cured using hydraulic jacks. Post-tensioning allows for longer spans, thinner slabs, and more architectural freedom compared to conventional reinforced concrete or pretensioned concrete. Common applications of post-tensioning include parking structures, bridges, and building floors and roofs.
The document discusses composite construction using precast prestressed concrete beams and cast-in-situ concrete. It describes how the two elements act compositely after the in-situ concrete hardens. Composite beams can be constructed as either propped or unpropped. Propped construction involves supporting the precast beam during casting to relieve it of the wet concrete weight, while unpropped construction allows stresses to develop under self-weight. Design and analysis of composite beams involves calculating stresses and deflections considering composite action. Differential shrinkage between precast and in-situ concrete also induces stresses.
Prestressed concrete uses high-strength steel tendons or cables to put concrete members into compression prior to stresses from service loads being applied. This counters the tensile stresses induced by loading and improves the behavior of the concrete. There are two main methods - pretensioning and post-tensioning. Pretensioning involves stressing steel tendons before concrete is cast, while post-tensioning stresses steel tendons after the concrete has hardened. Losses in prestress over time include elastic shortening, anchorage slip, friction, creep, shrinkage, and steel relaxation. Proper material selection and design can minimize these losses and optimize the performance of prestressed concrete.

Pre-stressed concrete uses tensioned steel strands or bars to place concrete in compression before application of service loads. This counters the tensile stresses induced by loads and prevents cracking. There are two main methods: pre-tensioning applies tension before pouring concrete, while post-tensioning tensions strands after concrete curing. Pre-stressed concrete allows for smaller and lighter structures that resist loads, deflection, and cracking better than reinforced concrete.
Prestressed concrete has several advantages over reinforced concrete including being more crack-resistant, durable, and requiring smaller cross-sectional areas, allowing for longer spans and easier transport. However, it also has some disadvantages such as requiring specialized equipment, advanced technical knowledge, and skilled labor for construction, as well as more expensive prestressing reinforcement bars.
A system of prestressing involves tensioning tendons and securing them firmly to concrete. There are two main types: pre-tensioning and post-tensioning. Pre-tensioning involves pulling tendons tight between anchored abutments before concrete is poured. The Hoyer or long-line pre-tensioning system uses bulkheads to stretch wires over which molds are placed for concrete pouring. The Freyssinet system was the first post-tensioning method, using a cable of high-strength wires grouted into a duct within the concrete beam. Wires are anchored using conical plugs pushed into holes in concrete cylinders after jacking. The Magnel Blaton system tensions wires in pairs using sandwich plates

This document discusses different systems used for prestressing steel, which are grouped into four categories: mechanical, hydraulic, electrical/thermal, and chemical. It provides details on common tensioning devices within each category. Mechanical devices use weights, pulleys, and screw jacks. Hydraulic jacks ranging from 5-600 tonnes are widely used. Electrical/thermal heating of wires before concreting is another option. Chemical devices use expanding cement. The document also describes several popular prestressing systems including Freyssinet, Gifford Udall, Lee-McCall, Magnel Blaton, BBRV, and Baur Leonhardt.
This document discusses prestressed concrete, which uses tensioned steel cables or bars to put concrete members into compression and increase their strength. It describes three main methods: pre-tensioned concrete where the steel is tensioned before the concrete is cast; bonded post-tensioned concrete where steel is tensioned after casting to compress the concrete; and unbonded post-tensioned concrete where greased steel is used to allow individual adjustment. Applications include buildings, bridges, nuclear reactors and earthquake resistant structures. Advantages are lower costs, thinner members, and increased spans.
Prestressing is a technique where internal stresses are introduced into a material to counteract loads. In prestressed concrete, high-strength tendons placed under tension are used to put concrete structures into compression before loads are applied. There are two types of prestressing: pre-tensioning, where concrete is cast around tensioned tendons; and post-tensioning, where tendons are tensioned after concrete has set. Bonded post-tensioning permanently bonds tendons to concrete using grout, while unbonded post-tensioning allows tendon movement. Prestressed concrete provides benefits like crack control, durability, and ability to build larger structures. Common applications include bridges, buildings, dams, tanks, and nuclear containment
Pre-stressed concrete uses tensioned steel strands or bars to place concrete in compression and improve its tensile strength. There are two main methods - pre-tensioning and post-tensioning. Pre-tensioning tensions the strands before the concrete is poured, while post-tensioning tensions strands inside ducts after the concrete has cured. This compression counteracts tensile and flexural stresses from loads to reduce cracking and increase strength, allowing pre-stressed concrete to be lighter and more durable than reinforced concrete. It is commonly used in bridges, buildings, tanks, and other structures.
Prestressed concrete is concrete that is placed under compression prior to service loads being applied through tensioning of steel tendons. This counteracts tensile stresses from loads to improve the performance of the concrete. Eugene Freyssinet is considered the father of prestressed concrete, developing techniques like high strength steel wires and conical wedges for post-tensioning in the 1930s-1940s. Prestressing can be through pre-tensioning or post-tensioning, depending on if the steel is tensioned before or after the concrete is cast. Popular post-tensioning systems include Freyssinet, Magnel Blaton, Gifford-Udall, and Lee-McCall methods. Prestressed concrete provides
This document defines and describes various types and concepts related to prestressed concrete. It discusses:
1) Definitions of prestressing steel types like wires, strands, tendons, and cables. It also defines bonded and unbonded tendons.
2) Advantages of prestressing like increased strength, reduced cracking, and suitability for precast construction.
3) Limitations include needing skilled technology and higher material costs.
4) Types of prestressing based on force source, location, sequence, member shape, and direction. It provides examples of pre-tensioning and post-tensioning, internal and external prestressing, and linear and circular prestressing.
The document discusses factors that affect the strength of concrete, including water-cement ratio, aggregate-cement ratio, maximum aggregate size, and degree of compaction. It states that concrete strength is inversely proportional to water-cement ratio according to Abrams' law. A lower water-cement ratio and higher degree of compaction produce stronger concrete by reducing porosity. A leaner aggregate-cement ratio also increases strength by absorbing water and reducing shrinkage. Larger aggregate size can reduce water needs but may decrease strength by lowering surface area for bond development.
Prestressing Concept, Materilas and Prestressing SystemLatif Hyder Wadho
The document discusses prestressing concepts and materials used in prestressed concrete. It describes how prestressing applies an initial compressive stress to concrete prior to service loads to improve strength and durability. Common prestressing materials include high-strength steel strands/wires, which are assembled into tendons and anchored internally or externally before or after concrete casting for pre-tensioning or post-tensioning. Grout is also discussed for transmitting stress between steel and concrete.
A continuous beam has more than one span carried by multiple supports. It is commonly used in bridge construction since simple beams cannot support large spans without requiring greater strength and stiffness. Continuous prestressed concrete beams provide adequate strength and stiffness while allowing for redistribution of moments, resulting in higher load capacity, reduced deflections, and more evenly distributed bending moments compared to equivalent simple beams. Analysis of continuous beams requires determining primary moments from prestressing, secondary moments induced by support reactions, and the combined resultant moments.
Post-tensioning is an effective alternative for earthquake-prone regions and dense populations in India. It has advantages over ordinary reinforced concrete like higher seismic resilience, less concrete usage, stiffer foundations, and faster construction. Post-tensioning involves threading steel tendons through ducts and tensioning them after concrete pouring. It provides better crack control, economy, quality, and efficiency. While widely used in other countries, post-tensioning is not yet common in India but has applications in slabs, buildings, and foundations.
This document discusses various methods for repairing concrete structures, including repairing cracks, spalling, and disintegration. It describes techniques such as crack injection, routing and sealing cracks, stitching, external stressing, grouting, jacketing deteriorated columns, and using overlays. The key methods are repairing cracks by injecting epoxy, routing and sealing, or stitching with steel bars. For spalling and disintegration, techniques include jacketing with new concrete, gunite application, prepacked concrete, drypacking, and concrete replacement. The document emphasizes restoring lost strength and accommodating future crack movements.
Prestressed concrete is concrete that is placed under compression using tensioned steel strands, cables, or bars. This is done through either pre-tensioning or post-tensioning. In pre-tensioning, the steel components are tensioned before the concrete is poured, while in post-tensioning, the steel components are tensioned after the concrete has hardened. Prestressed concrete provides benefits over reinforced concrete like lower construction costs, thinner structural elements, and longer spans between supports.
Prestressing Concept, Materials and Prestressing System - Section B, Group 1সাফকাত অরিন
This document provides an overview of prestressing concepts, materials, and systems. It discusses the basic concepts of prestressing including transforming concrete into an elastic material, combining high-strength steel with concrete, and achieving load balancing. The document describes the advantages and limitations of prestressing. It also summarizes the different types of prestressing in terms of the source of prestressing force, whether it is external or internal, pre-tensioned or post-tensioned, linear or circular, full or partial, and uniaxial, biaxial, or multiaxial. Finally, it discusses prestressing materials including concrete, aggregate, cement, water, admixtures, grout, and prestressing steel.
Pre-stressed concrete is a combination of steel and concrete that takes advantage of each material's strengths. There are three main types of pre-stressed concrete: pre-tensioned concrete, bonded post-tensioned concrete, and unbonded post-tensioned concrete. Pre-tensioned concrete involves stressing steel reinforcement prior to placing concrete around it, while bonded and unbonded post-tensioned concrete involve stressing steel embedded in cured concrete. Pre-stressing concrete provides benefits like increased strength, reduced cracking and corrosion, and allowing for thinner members. The pre-stressing process requires careful planning and consideration of factors like creep, shrinkage, and stress losses over time.
This document discusses losses in prestressed concrete, including short-term and long-term losses. It describes the differences between pre-tensioned and post-tensioned concrete. Losses include elastic shortening, friction, anchorage slip, creep, shrinkage, and relaxation. Total losses can be 15-20% of the initial prestress. Post-tensioned concrete experiences more types of losses but lower overall losses compared to pre-tensioned concrete. Proper design and materials are needed to minimize losses in prestressed concrete.

Prestressed concrete is concrete in which internal stresses are introduced to counteract external loads. Tendons are stretched elements that impart prestress, and anchorage devices enable the tendons to impart and maintain prestress. There are two main methods - pretensioning, where tendons are tensioned before concrete is cast, and post-tensioning, where tendons are tensioned against hardened concrete. Prestressed concrete uses high-strength materials like cement, concrete, and steel tendons or strands to achieve its compressive strength and durability advantages over reinforced concrete.

2) Prestressing concepts include transforming concrete to an elastic material, combining high strength steel with concrete, and load balancing.
3) Methods include pre-tensioning and post-tensioning, and materials include high strength steel tendons or bars, concrete, and grout.
Pre-stressed concrete was a major innovation that replaced conventional reinforced concrete, allowing for longer spans, higher impact resistance, and greater load capacity without tensile stresses. It involves casting concrete around high-strength steel that is placed under compression before use to counteract tensile stresses when in service. There are two main types: pre-tensioning applies tension before casting, while post-tensioning does so after casting, using ducts to hold the steel. Pre-stressed concrete enables more efficient structures through factory casting and reduced material needs.

A high-Speed Communication System is based on the Design of a Bi-NoC Router, ...DharmaBanothu
The Network on Chip (NoC) has emerged as an effective
solution for intercommunication infrastructure within System on
Chip (SoC) designs, overcoming the limitations of traditional
methods that face significant bottlenecks. However, the complexity
of NoC design presents numerous challenges related to
performance metrics such as scalability, latency, power
consumption, and signal integrity. This project addresses the
issues within the router's memory unit and proposes an enhanced
memory structure. To achieve efficient data transfer, FIFO buffers
are implemented in distributed RAM and virtual channels for
FPGA-based NoC. The project introduces advanced FIFO-based
memory units within the NoC router, assessing their performance
in a Bi-directional NoC (Bi-NoC) configuration. The primary
objective is to reduce the router's workload while enhancing the
FIFO internal structure. To further improve data transfer speed,
a Bi-NoC with a self-configurable intercommunication channel is
suggested. Simulation and synthesis results demonstrate
guaranteed throughput, predictable latency, and equitable
network access, showing significant improvement over previous
designs

Paper Title
Particle Swarm Optimization–Long Short-Term Memory based Channel Estimation with Hybrid Beam Forming Power Transfer in WSN-IoT Applications
Authors
Reginald Jude Sixtus J and Tamilarasi Muthu, Puducherry Technological University, India
Abstract
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) helps to overcome various difficulties in future technology wireless communications. NOMA, when utilized with millimeter wave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, channel estimation becomes extremely difficult. For reaping the benefits of the NOMA and mm-Wave combination, effective channel estimation is required. In this paper, we propose an enhanced particle swarm optimization based long short-term memory estimator network (PSOLSTMEstNet), which is a neural network model that can be employed to forecast the bandwidth required in the mm-Wave MIMO network. The prime advantage of the LSTM is that it has the capability of dynamically adapting to the functioning pattern of fluctuating channel state. The LSTM stage with adaptive coding and modulation enhances the BER.PSO algorithm is employed to optimize input weights of LSTM network. The modified algorithm splits the power by channel condition of every single user. Participants will be first sorted into distinct groups depending upon respective channel conditions, using a hybrid beamforming approach. The network characteristics are fine-estimated using PSO-LSTMEstNet after a rough approximation of channels parameters derived from the received data.

Online train ticket booking system project.pdfKamal Acharya
Rail transport is one of the important modes of transport in India. Now a days we
see that there are railways that are present for the long as well as short distance
travelling which makes the life of the people easier. When compared to other
means of transport, a railway is the cheapest means of transport. The maintenance
of the railway database also plays a major role in the smooth running of this
system. The Online Train Ticket Management System will help in reserving the
tickets of the railways to travel from a particular source to the destination.

2. What is Prestressed Concrete?
• It is a method of applying pre- compression to control the
stresses resulting due to external loads below the neutral axis of
the beam.
• Pre-compression resulting either no tension or compression.
3. Basic Concept
o Prestressed concrete is basically concrete in which internal
stresses of a suitable magnitude and distribution are
introduced so that the
stresses resulting from
the external loads are
counteracted to a
desired degree.
o Pre-stress is introduced
by stretching steel wire
and anchoring them
against concrete
4. History…
Used high tensile steel wires, with ultimate strength
as high as 1725 MPa and yield stress over 1240
MPa. In 1939, he developed conical wedges for
end anchorages for post- tensioning and developed
double-acting jacks.
• He is often referred to as the Father of
Prestressed concrete.
1938 Hoyer, E., (Germany
Developed ‘long line’ pre-tensioning method.
1940 Magnel, G., (Belgium)
Developed an anchoring system for post- tensioning,
using flat wedges
5. In India, the applications of prestressed concrete diversified over the
years. The first prestressed concrete bridge was built in 1948 under the
Assam Rail Link Project. Among bridges, the Pamban Road Bridge at
Rameshwaram, Tamilnadu, remains a classic example of the use of
prestressed concrete girders.

6. Development of Prestressed
Concrete
Prestressed concrete was started to be used in building frames,
parking structures, stadiums, railway sleepers, transmission line
poles and other types of structures and elements.
7. Principles of Prestressing
• Prestressing is a method in which compression force is applied
to the reinforced concrete section.
• The effects of prestressing is to reduce the tension stress in the
section to the point till the tensile stress is below the cracking
stress. Thus the concrete does not crack.
• It is then possible to treat concrete as a elastic material.
• The concrete can be visualized to have two compressive force
– Internal pre-stressing force
– External Forces (D.L, L.l ,etc)
• This two forces must counter act each other.
8. Terminology
• Tendon: A stretched element used in a concrete member of structure
to impart prestress to the concrete.
• Anchorage: A device generally used to enable the tendon to impart
and maintain prestress in concrete.
• Pretensioning: A method of prestressing concrete in which the
tendons are tensioned before the concrete is placed. In this
method, the concrete is introduced by bond between steel &
concrete.
• Post-tensioning: A method of prestressing concrete by tensioning
the tendons against hardened concrete. In this method, the
prestress is imparted to concrete by bearing
9. Types of Pre-stressing
1. External or internal pre-stressing.
–It is based on the location of the pre-stressing tendons with
respect to concrete section.
2. Pre-tensioning or post-tensioning.
– It based on the sequence of casting the concrete and
applying tension to the tendons.
3. Linear or circular pre-stressing.
– It based on the shape of the member pre-stressed.
4. Full, limited or partial pre-stressing.
– It based on the pre-stressing force.
5. Uniaxial, biaxial or multi-axial pre-stressing.
– It based on the direction of the pre-stressing member.
10. Tensioning
• Pre-tensioning: A method of prestessing concrete in which tendons
are tensioned before the concrete is placed. The operation
commonly a 5-step process.
• Post-tensioning: A method of prestessing concrete in which
tendons are tensioned after the concrete has place. The
operation commonly a 6-step process.
11. Methods of post-tensioning:
1) Anchoring the tendons against the end abutments.
2) Placing of jacks.
3) Applying tension to the tendons.
4) Casting of concrete.
5) Cutting of the tendons.
Methods of pre-tensioning:
1) Casting of concrete.
2) Placement of tendons.
3) Placement of the anchorage block and jack.
4) Applying tension to the tendons.
5) Seating of the wedges.
6) Cutting the tendons.
12. Advantages of pre-stressed
concrete.
Factory products are possible.
Long span structure are possible so that saving of wt is significant &
thus it become economical.
Pre-stressed member are tested before use.
Dead load are get counter balanced by eccentric pre- stressing
It has high ability to resist the impact.
It has high fatigue resistance.
It has high live load carrying capacity.
It free from cracks from service loads and enable entire section to
take part in resisting moments.
Member are free from the tensile stresses.
13. Disadvantages of pre-stressed
concrete.
Required skilled builders & experienced engineers.
Initial equipment cost is very high.
Availability of experienced engineers is less.
Required complicated formwork.
It requires high strength concrete & steel.
Pre-stressed concrete is less fiber resistant.
14. “Engineers like to solve problems. If there are no
problems handily available, they will create their
own problems.”
