PSC Unit (2) - NoRestriction

The document discusses various concepts related to prestressed concrete design including: 1) Different types of flexural failure modes observed in prestressed concrete beams such as fracture of steel in tension or failure of under-reinforced sections. 2) The strain compatibility method for estimating flexural strength based on compatibility of strains and equilibrium of forces. 3) Definitions of bonded prestressed concrete where prestress is imparted through bond versus unbonded where it is not. 4) Explanation of the IS 1343 code method for computing moment of resistance using prestressing techniques.
