Prestressed concrete uses tensioned steel to put concrete in compression and improve its performance. Circular structures like pipes, tanks and poles are well-suited for circular prestressing using hoop tension to counteract internal fluid pressure. Pipes can be made through monolithic, two-stage or precast construction. Design considerations include stresses from handling, support conditions, working pressure and cracking. Tanks come in different shapes and are analyzed as shells. Poles are designed for various loads as vertical cantilevers with tapering cross-sections.
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.
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.
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.
Prestress loss occurs as prestress reduces over time from its initial applied value. There are two types of prestress loss - immediate losses during prestressing/transfer and long-term time-dependent losses. Immediate losses include elastic shortening, anchorage slip, and friction. Long-term losses include creep and shrinkage of concrete and relaxation of prestressing steel. The quantification of losses is based on strain compatibility between concrete and steel. For a pre-tensioned concrete sleeper, the percentage loss due to elastic shortening was calculated to be approximately 2.83% based on the stress in concrete at the level of the tendons.
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.

This document summarizes key concepts related to shear and torsion behavior in reinforced concrete beams. It discusses modes of cracking in shear, shear failure modes, critical sections for shear design, the influence of axial forces and longitudinal reinforcement on shear strength, and shear transfer mechanisms. The key points covered include web shear cracking, flexure-shear cracking, diagonal tension failure, shear-compression and shear-tension failures, and the four mechanisms that contribute to shear transfer: aggregate interlock, dowel action, stirrups, and the interaction between axial compression and shear strength.
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 provides an introduction to prestressed concrete bridge design. It discusses how prestressing concrete induces compression to counteract tensile stresses from loading. Prestressed concrete allows for longer concrete bridge spans through precasting units that are lifted into place. The document covers methods of prestressing including pre-tensioning and post-tensioning. It also summarizes design considerations like serviceability limits, stress limitations, prestress losses, and establishes basic inequalities for prestress force and section properties. Magnel diagrams are introduced as a way to determine appropriate prestress force and eccentricity values.
This document discusses concrete distress, its causes, and concrete repair systems. It defines distress as damage to concrete that can occur during production or service life due to varying conditions. Common causes of distress include structural loads, errors in design and construction, drying shrinkage, corrosion, and deterioration over time from chemical reactions, freezing/thawing, or weathering. Proper concrete repair requires determining the cause of damage, evaluating its extent, selecting repair methods, preparing the surface, applying repair materials, and curing. Durable repairs depend on high quality workmanship and materials to ensure the repair is well-bonded and resistant to future distress.
Prestressed concrete is concrete reinforced with tensioned cables to counteract bending forces. There are losses in prestress over time due to various factors including elastic shortening, friction during tensioning, anchorage slip, and shrinkage and creep of the concrete as well as relaxation of the steel cables. These losses are calculated using step-by-step procedures accounting for time-dependent effects like creep and shrinkage to accurately determine the remaining prestress over the lifespan of the structure.
The document discusses the gel/space ratio in concrete and its relationship to concrete strength. It states that the gel/space ratio governs the porosity of concrete, with a higher ratio resulting in lower porosity and higher strength. The gel/space ratio is affected by the water/cement ratio, as a higher water/cement ratio decreases the gel/space ratio by increasing porosity. Power's experiment showed the strength of concrete has a specific relationship to the gel/space ratio that can be calculated.
The document discusses the different types of shrinkage that can occur in concrete, including plastic shrinkage, drying shrinkage, autogenous shrinkage, and carbonation shrinkage. Plastic shrinkage causes cracks on the surface of fresh concrete due to evaporation before setting. Drying shrinkage is defined as the contraction of hardened concrete from the loss of capillary water, which can lead to cracking, warping, and deflection without any external loading. In summary, the document outlines the main types of volume changes and shrinkage that concrete undergoes both during the plastic and hardened states.
deterioration of concrete structures( repair and rehabilitation of structures)Korrapati Pratyusha
- Concrete is widely used in construction but is susceptible to defects from faulty design/materials, environmental effects like freezing/thawing, and chemical reactions.
- Common defects include cracking from plastic shrinkage during curing, drying shrinkage as concrete loses moisture over time, and damage from temperature changes causing expansion/contraction.
- Chemical reactions with acids, sulphates or aggregates can also deteriorate concrete through processes like carbonation, sulphate attack, or alkali-silica reaction. Preventive measures aim to minimize moisture movement and use durable materials.

Recommendations include protecting concrete from freezing, using accelerants, and maintaining minimum curing temperatures. Proper planning, materials, and protection methods can help produce quality concrete despite temperature extremes.
- There are four main methods to measure the load carrying capacity of piles: static methods, dynamic formulas, in-situ penetration tests, and pile load tests.
- The ultimate load capacity (Qu) of an individual pile or pile group equals the sum of the point resistance (Qp) at the pile tip and the shaft resistance (Qs) developed along the pile shaft through friction between the soil and pile.
- Meyerhof's method is commonly used to calculate Qp in sand based on the effective vertical pressure at the pile tip multiplied by the bearing capacity factor Nq.

Three specimens were tested - an RCC slab, a composite slab, and a composite truss. The composite truss was fabricated from steel and connected to the decking and concrete with shear connectors. All specimens were tested for load carrying capacity. The composite truss performed comparably to the RCC slab and was found to effectively transfer loads through composite action between the steel and concrete components.

The document discusses key topics in reinforced concrete design including:
- Concrete properties like compressive strength and stress-strain behavior.
- Tensile strength of concrete and how steel reinforcement is used where tensile stresses occur.
- Types of steel reinforcement like deformed bars, welded wire fabric, and prestressing strands.
- Design of short reinforced concrete columns where the equilibrium of forces in the steel and concrete is considered.
- Parameters that influence column design like reinforcement ratio, concrete strength, and safety factors.
- Requirements for transverse reinforcement to resist buckling.
- The need for concrete cover to protect the steel.
- An example of designing a short concrete column for a given load.
The document discusses the design of footings for structures. It begins by explaining that footings are needed to transfer structural loads from members made of materials like steel and concrete to the underlying soil. It then describes different types of shallow and deep foundations, including spread, strap, combined, and raft footings. The document provides details on designing isolated and combined footings to resist vertical loads and moments based on provisions in IS 456. It also discusses wall footings and combined footings that support multiple columns. In summary, the document covers the purpose of footings, various footing types, and design of isolated and combined footings.
This document discusses reinforced concrete columns. It begins by defining columns and different column types, including based on shape, reinforcement, loading conditions, and slenderness ratio. Short columns fail due to material strength while slender columns are at risk of buckling. The document covers column design considerations like unsupported length and effective length. It provides examples of single storey building column design and discusses minimum longitudinal reinforcement requirements in columns.
This document discusses the design of compression members under uniaxial bending. It notes that columns are rarely under pure axial compression due to eccentricities from rigid frame action or accidental loading. Columns can experience uniaxial or biaxial bending based on the loading. The behavior depends on the relative magnitudes of the bending moment and axial load, which determine the position of the neutral axis. Methods for designing eccentrically loaded short columns include using equations that calculate the neutral axis position and failure mode, or using interaction diagrams that graphically show the safe ranges of moment and axial load.
This document discusses the design of compression members subjected to axial load and biaxial bending. It introduces the concept of biaxial eccentricities and explains that columns should be designed considering possible eccentricities in two axes. The document outlines the method suggested by IS 456-2000, which is based on Breslar's load contour approach. It relates the parameter αn to the ratio of Pu/Puz. Finally, it provides a step-by-step process for designing the column section, which involves determining uniaxial moment capacities, computing permissible moment values from charts, and revising the section if needed. It also briefly mentions the simplified method according to BS8110.
This document provides an overview of the design of compression members (columns) in reinforced concrete structures. It discusses various types of columns based on reinforcement, loading conditions, and slenderness ratio. It describes the classification of columns as short or slender. The document also covers effective length, braced vs unbraced columns, codal provisions for reinforcement, and functions of longitudinal and transverse reinforcement. Key points include types of column reinforcement, minimum reinforcement requirements, cover requirements, and assumptions for the limit state of collapse under compression.
The document discusses the design of slender columns. It defines a slender column as having a slenderness ratio (length to least lateral dimension) greater than 12. Slender columns experience appreciable lateral deflection even under axial loads alone. The design of slender columns can be done using three methods - the strength reduction coefficient method, additional moment method, or moment magnification method. The document outlines the step-by-step procedure for designing a slender column using the additional moment method, which involves determining the effective length, initial moments, additional moments, total moments accounting for a reduction coefficient, and redesigning the column for combined axial load and bending.
A column is a vertical structural element that transmits loads from above to the foundation below. Columns are designed to support both axial loads (compression or tension) as well as bending moments. The design of columns involves consideration of factors like cross-sectional dimensions, length, end conditions, and material strength to ensure it can safely support the loads applied to the structure.
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.

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.
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

5. Criteria of design
• According to Indian standard Is 784:2001, the design of
prestressed concrete pipe should cover the following five
stages:

prestressing.
– Handling stresses with or without longitudinal prestressing.
– Condition in which a pipe is supported by saddles at extreme points with
full water load but zero hydrostatic pressure.
– Full working pressure conforming to the limit state of serviceability.
– The first crack stage corresponding to the limit state of local damage.

limit state of collapse, mainly to ensure a desirable load factor against
collapse.

6. Design of Non-cylinder pipe
• The tensioning of the prestressing steel induces a
circumferential compression,fc in the pipe and should not
exceed the permissible compressive stress at transfer.
• The working pressure, p should not be less than fmin . Thus the
permissible range of stress is (ηfc – fmin ).
• The circumferential stress is given by the following equation:
Where
– D=inside diameter
– T= hoop tension=pD/2
– fct = allowable stress in concrete
– η = loss ratio

30. • PC poles ate widely used for overhead power transmission, lighting poles and
telecommunication lines.
• These poles have virtually replaced the traditional poles made of wood, steel
and reinforced concrete.
• The prestressed concrete poles are lighter, durable, and more economical.
• The poles may be pretensioned or post tensioned and may be designed in
accordance with IS 1678 and IS 1343.
• The poles should be designed for the following load conditions
– Wind load on the conductors and the pole
– Torsion due to snapping of a conductor
– Bending due to snapping of all conductors on either side of the pole
– Handling and erection stresses and
– Snow loads

Prestressed concrete poles
32. Codal provisions
• IS 1678-1998 gives minimum length, minimum design loads and
detailing requirements. It defines four stages of load acting on
a PSC pole:
– Working load- maximum load in the transverse direction
including the wind pressure, ever likely to occur, on the
pole. This load is assumed to act a point 600 mm below the
top of the pole.
– Transverse load at first crack- at least equal to the working
load for design purpose
– Average permanent load- it is the fraction of the working
load which may be considered of long duration over a period
of one year. It is taken equal to 40% of the load at the first
crack.
– Ultimate transverse load- it is maximum transverse load
acting at 600 mm below the top at which failure occurs.
02/06/18 SPK-PSG College of Technology 32
33. • The load factor on the transverse strength for PSC pole is taken
between 2 and 2.5.
• The code further specifies that in the case of poles used of
power transmission lines, the strength of the poles in the
direction of the line should not be less than 25% of the strength
required in the transverse direction.
02/06/18 SPK-PSG College of Technology 33
34. General Considerations
• A PSC pole is essentially a vertical cantilever.
• The bending moment increases from zero at the top to the
maximum at the base.
• consequently, the maximum moment of resistance and the
maximum cross-sectional area is required at the base.
• Generally rectangular and square cross sections are used in PSC
poles.
• The width of the pole is kept constant while the depth is
tapered from top to bottom.
• Since the pole is subjected to reversible wind pressure, the
prestress has to be uniform over the whole section.
• The eccentricity ‘e’ is taken as zero. Thus a PSC Pole is an
axially prestressed member.
• It may be designed as a fully prestressed member or a partially
prestressed member as per IS 1343.
