This textbook imparts a firm understanding of the behavior of prestressed concrete and how it relates to design based on the 2014 ACI Building Code. It presents the fundamental behavior of prestressed concrete and then adapts this to the design of structures. The book focuses on prestressed concrete members including slabs, beams, and axially loaded members and provides computational examples to support current design practice along with practical information related to details and construction with prestressed concrete. It illustrates concepts and calculations with Mathcad and EXCEL worksheets. Written with both lucid instructional presentation as well as comprehensive, rigorous detail, the book is ideal for both students in graduate-level courses as well as practicing engineers.
An Introduction to Prestressed Concrete
This book is suited for a first course in pre-stressed concrete design offered to senior undergraduate students in civil engineering and postgraduate students in structural engineering.
There is no question but that a prestressed concrete hull will have greater weight , hence greater required displacement , and consume more fuel if the same speed is to be maintained . Thus , the savings in first cost will have to be ...
The new edition of this book provides up-to-date guidance on the detailed design of prestressed concrete structures according to the provisions of the latest preliminary version of Eurocode 2: Design of Concrete Structures, DD ENV 1992-1-1: ...
Providing both an introduction to basic concepts and an in-depth treatment of the most up-to-date methods for the design and analysis of concrete of structures, "Design of Prestressed Concrete" will service the needs of both students and ...
This book was written with a dual purpose, as a reference book for practicing engineers and as a textbook for students of prestressed concrete.
Prestressed Concrete
This text presents the theoretical and practical aspects of analysis and design, complemented by numerous design examples.
