Course Description	This course aims to provide students with a fundamental understanding of the structural behavior and advantages of prestressed concrete members, as well as the material characteristics required for their implementation. Students will learn the analytical approaches and fundamental design concepts for prestressed concrete components, together with an introduction to current codes, specifications, and professional standards. The course also integrates programming exercises and hands-on modeling. Throughout the semester, students will develop computational tools and construct prestressed bridge models using structural analysis software, enabling them to connect theoretical principles with practical engineering applications. 使學生瞭解預力混凝土構件之基本結構行為與優點，及組成材料條件，學習預力構件之分析與基本設計理念，並認識最新之相關規範與標準。本學期課程亦含蓋Matlab程式撰寫與MidasCivil橋梁分析軟體建構。
