Achieving the high levels of compression in the beam - BE of PreS Conc with Prof Burgoyne Pt2

Professor Burgoyne is head of the Structure lab at the University of Cambridge. In this video he describes the principles behind pre-stressed concrete, its properties and applications and how engineers use the principle in structures. Learning outcomes: - How to apply compressive force to a beam - How to use cables in a pre-stressed concrete beam - Pre-tensioned and post-tensioned pre-stressed concrete and the applications of each - The amount of tension needed - Is reinforcement required
