Owners and designers have long recognized the low initial cost, low maintenance needs and long
life expectancy of prestressed concrete bridges. This is reflected in the increasing market share of

PRESTRESSED CONCRETE
Prestressed concrete, invented by Eugene Frevssinet in 1928 is a method for overcoming
concretes natural weakness in tension . It can be used to produce beams , f

What is Prestressed Concrete?
Definition:
Pre-stressed concrete is a form of reinforced concrete that builds in compressive
stresses during construction to oppose those found when in use.
In other words it i

Mold capable of supporting stresses created by the steel is either delivered to job site or
molds are located off site.
Required or preplanned pre-stresses are determined and required reinforcement steel is

BENEFITS
Concrete is very strong in compression but weak in tension,\
This deflection will cause the bottom of the beam to elongate slightly & cause cracking.
Steel reinforcing bars (rebar) are typically embed

Greater fire resistance is another advantage. This timber bridge experienced a dramatic fire
it was replaced by a low maintenance prestressed concrete bridge erected without falsework

Greedy Algorithms
A greedy algorithm is one where you take the step that seems the best at the time while executing the algorithm. Examples (from CS2): Huffman coding Coin Changing The goal here is to give change with the minimal number of coins as possib
Methodologies for Analyzing Algorithms
Essentially, today's lecture is going to look very similar to the first lecture in CS2. One of the major goals of CS3 is to be able to analyze the time efficiency of algorithms. If you have forgotten what we talked a
