Chapter 1: Basic Concepts Chapter 2: Materials Chapter 3: Limit State Design Chapter 4: Losses in Prestress Chapter 5: Analysis of Sections Chapter 6: Shear and Torsion Chapter 7: Anchorage Zones Chapter 8: Deflections Chapter 9: Design of Members Chapter 10: Composite Materials Chapter 11: Intermediate Structures Chapter 12: Slabs Chapter 13: Circular Prestressing
This book is suited for a first course in prestressed concrete design offered to senior undergraduate students in civil engineering and postgraduate students in structural engineering. The book focuses on the behaviour of the prestressed concrete structural elements, with emphasis on clarity and precision in its discussions. Carefully chosen worked examples are included to delineate the design aspects while pointed chapter-end questions enable effortless recapitulation of the subject. This book, while being useful to both the students and teachers, will also serve as an invaluable reference for practising engineers.
