Seminar on “Design of Prestressed Composite Beams”

Department of Civil Engineering has organized a guest lecture on the topic “Design of Prestressed Composite Beams” Dr.Magudeaswaren, Professor& Head,Adithiya Institute of Technology, Coimbatore on 19.08.2019 for the final year students. The objective of this seminar was to enhance the student’s knowledge in the field of Prestressed Composite. During the seminar Dr.Magudeaswaren highlighted the basics of Prestressed Composite Beams and its applications in the field of civil engineering. He explained about the problems and basics to be considered in the area of deflections of beams and principal stresses. Difficulties in the problems were explained and some short cut methods were explained to the students making the problem interesting and easier. The overall session was useful for the students to understand the deflection problems, stresses and theories of failure.
