User Note: While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of CPEP, please be aware that the information contained herewith is considered a work‐in‐progress for this thesis project. Modifications and changes related to the original building designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of Matthew Haapala. Changes and discrepancies in no way imply that the original design contained errors or was flawed. Differing assumptions, code references, requirements, and methodologies have been incorporated into this thesis project; therefore, investigation results may vary from the original design.

Research/Resources

1) The following Prestressed Concrete Analysis and Design textbook was used to develop an understanding of post tensioned beam design.

Naaman, Antoine E. Prestressed Concrete Analysis and Design. 2nd.
            Ann Arbor, Michigan: Techno Press 3000, 2004.

 

2) The Principles of Foundation Engineering textbook was used to research the geotechnical considerations of a pile foundation system.

Das, Braja M. Principles of Foundation Engineering. 6th. Toronto,

            Ontario: Thomson, 2007. Print.

 

3) The Post Tensioning Institute’s article about effective width and post tensioning was use to help determine an appropriate effective flange width for T beams.

Aalami, Bijan. "Effective Width and Post-Tensioning."PTI Technical
            Notes. Issue 1. 1993.

 

4) ACI 318-08 was read thoroughly and used as a reference to design all concrete structural members including the prestressed beams.

American Concrete Institute, "Building Code Requirements for
                Structural Concret (ACI 318-08) and Commentary."ACI
                Standard. 2007. Print.

 

5) Online Industry Journal Articles such as Post-Tensioning Revisted in the July 2007 ed. of Structure Magazine were read to increase understanding of design pros and cons of post tensioning.
