Bijan’s Selected Lectures
Selected Lectures on
post-tensioning by Bijan
Over the last forty plus years, I traveled to over 45 countries; I met with local post-tensioning engineers; learnt about their practice; and held lectures on post-tensioning in over 100 cities.
I observed that post-tensioning comes in many shapes. Yet, the basics of post-tensioning is the same. It is grounded on the “first principles of engineering mechanics,” irrespective of local practice
Now, I take the opportunity to present to you what I have learned over the years from our colleagues. The material is organized in simple format and language using the first principles.. You may listen to each now, or download
