Masters Program in Precast, Prestressed and Concrete Structures for Bridges and Buildings - Civil

Precast concrete structures can be manufactured on-site using reusable molds. We believe that precast concrete was developed in Rome, given the vast network of tunnels. It was however documented that it began in the 1900s. Precast systems offer many advantages:

• One that allows engineers to plan more freely.
• The casted products arrive on site fully customized and ready to be installed. Precast is a cost-saving option that will help speed up the project timeline.
• Precast concrete manufacturing is a substantial sustainable process.
• The thermal mass absorption property of these products allows for slow heat release, which is a long-term energy saving benefit in cold countries.
• Also, factories produce less debris.

So, sustainable building developers practice precast concrete for LEED certification.

This Masters program will satisfy your thirst for knowledge. Six courses will take place that focus on structural analysis and design of G +15 precast buildings using ETABS.

ETABS is a common term in the global structural industry. This course will give you a refresher on the shear force and bending moment diagrams for various types of structures. This is essential in order to obtain a job as a structural engineer. This course will teach you how to quickly validate the results of hand calculations by comparing them with those obtained in ETABS.

Modern bridge types such as box girders or prestressed I girders will be covered. This course is based upon real-life examples. You will be able to see the problems engineers face every day and the areas where more research may be needed. These 6 courses are:

1. Mastering Shear Force and Bending Moment Diagrams
2. Analysis and Design of Buildings with STAAD.Pro. A professional approach
3. Design of Elevated Metro Viaduct
4. Superstructure design for RCC and PSC
5. Highrise Precast Buildings: Structural Design
6. Reinforced cement concrete design
