Installation of Post-Tensioning Tendons
Course number
CE-02-114
PDH credits
15
Installation of Post-Tensioning Tendons One of the major advancements in bridge construction in the United States in the second half of the twentieth century was the development and use of prestressed concrete. Prestressed concrete bridges offer a broad range of engineering solutions and a variety of aesthetic opportunities. This course includes state-of-the-art information relative to…
Admixtures for Concrete
Course number
CE-02-113
PDH credits
2
Admixtures for Concrete Admixtures are ingredients other than water, aggregate and Portland cement that are added to a concrete mixture immediately prior to or during mixing. These ingredients can be used to modify the properties of concrete by affecting its workability and set time, compensating for the effects of temperature during curing, ensuring the quality…
