Pre-stressed concrete is a method for overcoming concrete's natural weakness in tension. It can be used to produce beams, floors or bridges with a longer span than is practical with ordinary reinforced concrete. Pre-stressing tendons (generally of high tensile steel cable or rods) are used to provide a clamping load which produces a compressive stress that balances the tensile stress that the concrete compression member would otherwise experience due to a bending load. The pre-stressing force offsets the tensile stress and eliminates the tensile strain allowing the beam to resist further higher loading or to span longer distance.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

13. Basic Concepts: Reinforced Concrete
• Concrete is good in compression
but very poor in tension
• Steel bars are inserted to provide
tension in a concrete section,
called a reinforced concrete (RC)
section
• The moment capacity of the RC
section is calculated from the
coupling between compression in
concrete and tension in steel r/f.

What happens when this section is
subjected to bending?
What are the main assumptions
used when calculating the
moment capacity?
14. Basic Concepts: Prestressed Concrete
• A prestressed concrete section has
prestressing steel as the main
reinforcement.
• The prestressing is performed by
pulling the steel, either before or
after the concrete is cast.
• The prestressing of steel is also
called tensioning of steel
• The force used is called the
prestressing force (P).
• Steel used for prestressing is either
strand, tendon or cable

What happens to the concrete member
when we apply the prestressing force (to
pull the tendon)?

15. Basic Concept Review
• Pre‐tensioned member is when
the tendon is stressed (by
tensioning) before casting the
concrete.
• Post‐tensioned member is when
the tendon is stressed after
casting the concrete.
• Tendon can be concentric or
eccentric.
cgc
e
Denote e as the distance between the
centroid of the area of the concrete gross
section (cgc) and the centroid of the area
of the prestressing steel (cgs).
Note that e can be below or above the
cgc, i.e. the steel can be either at the top,
or bottom, or both.

• A simply supported beam has the cross section as shown below. The beam is
prestressed with P and e as given.
• Calculate the maximum fibre stresses due to prestressing and selfweight of
the beam. Use concrete density = 25 kN/m3
Solution:
• Calculate SW = 25*0.5*0.8 = 10 kN/m
• Max moment due to SW is at midspan,
MSW = SW*L2/8 = 10*202/8 = 500kN‐m

29. Design Concept of PC members
Notes:
This method is based on the elastic
stress check of the section.
This design method is aka “Limit State
of Decompression”. Any load beyond
this state will cause cracking in the
section (the moment of rupture of
concrete is reached due to cracking
moment).
Ultimate strength design method will
be covered in Section 4 of the lecture.
29
• If stresses are greater than
allowable, i.e., allow
• Need to redesign by (either one
or combination of the following):
• Change P and/or e
• Change concrete section
• Change material properties (e.g.
select stronger strength grade)
• Then, recheck fibre stresses until
allow
30. 30
Prestressing forces
• Initial prestressing Pi: the force
after initial losses.
At this state, the PC member is
usually subjected to its own weight
only.
This state is called “transfer state”.
• Thus, the prestressing force should
be Pi in Example 1.2.
• Jacking force Pj: the total force • Effective prestressing Pe: the force
applied to stress the tendon when the member is at
serviceability, i.e., under all the
superimposed loadings.
All losses must be taken into
account at this state.
This state is called “service state”
• More details on how to calculate
prestress loss will be covered later.
31. Kern Limit
• Kern limit is the limit of the
prestressing zone in the cross‐
section.
• It is an envelope within which the
applied prestressing force will
not cause any tension in concrete
• How to calculate: Recall
• Lower kern limit means that if
the prestressing force is applied
further from this limit, there will
be tension in concrete (in this
case tension is at the top fibre).
• Upper kern limit is as seen
below: (in this case bottom fibre
is in tension and must be zero)

32. Tendon Profile (Envelopes)
• Tendon envelopes are the limiting eccentricities along the span
such that there is no tension in the extreme fibre
• Calculated as the shift of kern limits when the section is
subjected to dead load and/or live load moments
• The envelopes depend on the applied moments
Examples: the shift of lower and upper kern limits due to dead
load moment

Draw the tendon envelopes (the shift of upper and lower kern limits) along the span of
the beam shown. The beam is subjected to dead load and live load, note that the
load combinations are 1) DL only, and 2) DL+LL. The elastic stress in concrete must
be in compression at all time (tensile stress is zero)

LL = 15.0kN/m

Limit States from AS 3600‐2018
Prestressed concrete members, like all other concrete structures in Australia, are
designed to comply with AS3600, which lays down certain limit states and minimum
requirements. The limit states include:
• Strength at transfer of prestress
• Strength in bending
• Serviceability – cracking or crack control
• Serviceability – deflection
• Shear strength
In addition, prestressed beams must comply with rules for fire resistance and
durability, and may even be affected by concerns for vibration stability and fatigue.
38. 38
Stresses Calculation
General Design Assumptions
• Strains vary linearly acros.s the section
• Cross sectional properties may be
taken as gross properties ignoring the
transformed area of steel.
• There is complete adhesion of the
tendons to the concrete.
• No sudden changes in cross section
Design Situations are:
• Transfer state – stresses limit,
hogging/sagging deflection limit
• Service state ‐ when under service load
and prestress after long‐term loss
• Partial prestressing – limited control of
cracking, deflection control
• Full prestressing – full control of
cracking, deflection control
39. 39
Transfer Limit State
• AS 3600‐2018 [8.1.6.2] permits transfer to be checked by limiting the maximum
compressive stress to 0.5 fcp.
• Clause 2.5.2 noted the importance of the load at transfer, wtr, is the larger of:
• 1.15G + 1.15P
• 0.9G + 1.15P
• Where the prestress is the initial prestress Pi.
• Take note of Clause [6.2.6] on the Secondary Bending Moments and Shears
resulting from prestress.
• Where applicable, prestressing effect shall be included with a load factor of
unity (1) in all load combinations for both ultimate and serviceability design
(load combinations in accordance with AS/NZS 1170.0).

Otherwise provide reinforcement or bonded tendons near the tensile face
