Where in the beam do the prestressing cables go? - BE of PreS Concrete: Prof Chris Burgoyne Pt4
Professor Burgoyne is head of the Structures 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: - The effect of changing the position of the pre-stressing cable in the beam - Sagging and hogging bending - How to position the cable in response to the type of bending involved - Failure mode of a pre-stressed concrete beam
