Engineering students, educators and building and bridge design professionals are encouraged to attend a continuing education course at Minnesota State University, Mankato on Monday, Sept. 13.
“Prestress Concrete Design” will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Centennial Student Union. It is for professionals who have not completed a college-level course on prestressed concrete design but have a basic understanding of reinforced concrete.
The class will be taught by Richard A. Miller, professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Cincinnati. His research interests include prestressed concrete, concrete bridges and concrete materials. His work has resulted in changes to the U.S. highway code and to prestressed bridge specifications.
The interactive seminar will teach prestressed concrete design using a specific design example, and will include a virtual plant tour showing design concepts and fabrication considerations.
Participants will earn 7.5 professional development hours or 7.5 HSW-learning units.
Registration fee is $79 per person, and the seminar size is limited. Registration includes continental breakfast and lunch. Participants will receive a handbook, a seminar notebook and a free one-year individual PCI membership.
