Prestressed and Reinforced Concrete: Choosing the Best Method for Your Project
Reinforced? Prestressed? Post-Tensioned? Some precast concrete is prestressed and reinforced, but not all reinforced concrete is prestressed. Which construction method can I perform at the job site? Which one will need to be manufactured and delivered to my project? Confused? Let’s clear up the differences between prestressed and reinforced concrete and how the two can work in tandem. All concrete looks pretty much the same on the outside, but inside, concrete contains steel that has been designed using years of extensive engineering and construction experience. In this interactive, online course, we will peer inside and see what reinforcing steel and prestressing strand can do for a structure. This course will focus on reinforced concrete and stressed (pre and post) concrete. Each type will be covered in depth.
