About This Course

Prestressed and post-tensioned bridge systems enable longer spans, slender structures, and improved durability—but only when designers and builders understand how prestressing actually behaves in the field. This course provides a clear and practical overview of prestressing concepts, tendon layouts, anchorage zones, ducting, grouting, losses, and construction sequencing. Through real examples of good and bad practices, learners explore cracking, corrosion, voids, misalignment, and other common problems in PT structures. Ideal for designers, contractors, QA/QC teams, project managers, procurement specialists, maintenance engineers, and students, the course equips participants to design, build, and maintain prestressed systems with confidence and awareness of real-world risks.
