Losses of Prestress: Loss of prestress in pre-tensioned and posttensioned members due to various
causes like elastic shortening ofconcrete, shrinkage of concrete, creep of concrete, relaxation ofsteel,
slip in anchorage, bending of member and frictional loss. Analysis of sections for flexure.
Unit – II:
Design of Section for Flexure: Allowable stresses, Elastic designof simple beams having rectangular
and I-section for flexure, kernlines, cable profile and cable layout. Design of Sections for Shear: Shear
and Principal stresses,Improving shear resistance by different prestressing techniqueshorizontal,
sloping and vertical prestressing, Analysis ofrectangular and I–beam, Design of shear reinforcement,
Indiancode provisions.
Unit – III:
Deflections of Prestressed Concrete Beams: Short term deflections of uncracked members, Prediction
of long-termdeflections, load–deflection curve for a PSC beam, IS coderequirements for maximum
deflections.
Unit – IV:
Transfer of Prestress in Pretensioned Members: Transmissionof prestressing force by bond,
Transmission length, Flexural bondstresses, IS code provisions, Anchorage zone stresses in post
tensioned members, stress distribution in End block, Anchoragezone reinforcements.
Unit – V:
Statically Indeterminate Structures: Advantages anddisadvantages of continuous PSC beams, Primary
and secondarymoments, P and C lines, Linear transformation, concordant andnon-concordant cable
profiles, Analysis of continuous beams
Course outcomes:
After studying this course, students will be able toAnalyse, Design and detail PSC
elements

research proposal, presentation and assessment by a review committee.
Unit 4:
Nature of Intellectual Property: Patents, Designs, Trade and Copyright. Process of Patenting
and Development: technological research, innovation, patenting, development. International
Scenario: International cooperation on Intellectual Property. Procedure for grants of patents,
Patenting under PCT.
Unit 5:
Patent Rights: Scope of Patent Rights. Licensing and transfer of technology. Patent informa-
tion and databases. Geographical Indications.
Course Outcomes:
At the end of the course, students will demonstrate their ability to:
1. Understanding and formulation of research problem.
2. Analyze research related information.
3. Understand plagiarism and follow research ethics
