Ordinary concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension.
Even reinforced concrete, where steel bars are used to take up the
tension that the concrete cannot resist, is prone to cracking and
corrosion under low loads. Prestressed concrete is highly resistant
to stress, and is used as a building material for bridges, tanks,
shell roofs, floors, buildings, containment vessels for nuclear
power plants and offshore oil platforms. With a wide range of
benefits such as crack control, low rates of corrosion, thinner
slabs, fewer joints and increased span length; prestressed concrete
is a stronger, safer, more economical and more sustainable building
material. The introduction of the Eurocodes has necessitated a new
approach to the design of prestressed concrete structures and this
book provides a comprehensive practical guide for professionals
through each stage of the design process. Each chapter focuses on a
specific aspect of design * Fully consistent with Eurocode 2, and
the associated parts of Eurocodes 1 and 8 * Examples of challenges
often encountered in professional practice worked through in full *
Detailed coverage of post-tensioned structures * Extensive coverage
of design of flat slabs using the finite element method * Examples
of pre-tensioned and post-tensioned bridge design * An introduction
to earthquake resistant design using EC 8 Examining the design of
whole structures as well as the design of sections through many
fully worked numerical examples which allow the reader to follow
each step of the design calculations, this book will be of great
interest to practising engineers who need to become more familiar
with the use of the Eurocodes for the design of prestressed
concrete structures. It will also be of value to university
students with an interest in the practical design of whole
structures.
