The design of structures in general, and prestressed concrete
structures in particular, requires considerably more information
than is contained in building codes. A sound understanding of
structural behaviour at all stages of loading is essential. This
textbook presents a detailed description and explanation of the
behaviour of prestressed concrete members and structures, both at
service loads and at ultimate loads, and in doing so, provides a
comprehensive and up-to-date guide to structural design. Much of
the text is based on first principles and relies only on the
principles of mechanics and the properties of concrete and steel,
with numerous worked examples. However, where the design
requirements are code specific, this book refers to the provisions
of the Australian Standard for Concrete Structures (AS3600-2009)
and, where possible, the notation is the same as in AS3600-2009. A
parallel volume is written to Eurocode 2, the European Standard for
the Design of Concrete Structures. The text runs from an
introduction to the fundamentals to in-depth treatments of more
advanced topics in modern prestressed concrete structures. It suits
senior undergraduate and graduate students, and also practising
engineers who want a comprehensive guide to the design of
prestressed concrete structures. It retains the clear and concise
explanations and the easy-to-read style of the first edition, but
the content has been extensively reorganised and considerably
expanded and updated. New chapters cover design procedures,
actions, and loads; prestressing systems and construction
requirements; and connections and detailing. The topic of
serviceability is developed extensively throughout. The authors
have been researching and teaching the behaviour and design of
prestressed concrete structures for more than 35 years, and this
updated edition of the book reflects this wealth of experience. The
work has also gained much from Ian Gilbe.
