Worldwide growth and application of post-tensioning in recent years
is one of the major developments in building construction. The
growth is propelled by significant economy of construction for
serviceable and safe buildings. Unlike traditional construction,
post-tensioning is based on new design methodology often not
covered in traditional engineering courses. With more than 40 years
of experience of study, teaching and work on post-tensioning
applications around the world, the author has written this book for
students as well as practicing engineers, contractors and
academics. While the book covers the basics and concepts of
post-tensioning in simple and clear language, it also focuses on
the application and detailed design through real world examples.
Topics of the book include the European and the American building
Codes for post-tensioning design. The Codes are detailed in the
book's examples such as column-supported floors and beam frames.
The book explains and highlights the importance of shortening
specific to post-tensioned members and construction detailing for
serviceable and safe performance.
