The most popular concrete floor system in the United States and abroad is made of post-tensioned concrete, yet most universities do not offer a course in post-tensioned concrete design. At best, some universities offer a course in Prestressed Concrete, which typically focuses on simply supported precast beams with straight, bonded strands. Therefore, many young engineers are tasked with using complicated post-tensioning software without the knowledge of what the software does in the design process.

ICC SKGA is proud to announce a complete online course in post-tensioned concrete design. This same course has been taught by Dirk Bondy, S.E. at UCLA and Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo for over a decade, and now it will be made available to everyone. The course will be taught by Dirk Bondy and Bryan Allred, both registered structural engineers in multiple states including California, with extensive practice and teaching experience.

 

Topics covered include:

PART 1

  • Equivalent loads
  • Service stress checks in statically determinate and indeterminate systems, moment redistribution
  • Load balancingzFlexural strength and demand including secondary effects, and beam shear design

 

PART 2

  • Design of One- and Two-way slabs using combination of hand calculations and software

 

Course Highlights

  • Use of the Canvas platform commonly used in many universities, where assignments will be given, collected, and graded and materials will be posted.
  • Online video lectures that can be viewed on your schedule, with a live ZOOM discussion once a week.
  • Access to both Dirk Bondy and Bryan Allred through Canvas or email for questions and support throughout the course.
  • (Only for Individual Plus ) inclusion of your own licensed versions of PTData and PT Designer that can be used during and beyond the course.
  • (Only for Individual Plus) inclusion of a hard copy of Bondy and Allred’s book “Post-Tensioned Concrete Principles and Practice”.
  • Ideal preparatory course for the Concrete Section of the SE Exam.
  • Graded homework assignments.
  • Two optional take-home exams.
  • Design of a continuous two-span beam with columns, with comparisons to the PT Data software output.
  • Design of One- and Two-way slabs using combination of hand calculations and software in Part 2 of the course.
  • PDHs for attending the recorded sessions and the live discussions.
