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, provide 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 Eurocode 2: Design of Concrete Structures and, where possible,
the notation is the same as in Eurocode 2. A parallel volume is
written to the Australian Standard for Concrete Structures
AS3600-2009. 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
comprehensive introduction 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 re-organised and considerably expanded and updated. New
chapters cover design procedures, actions and loads; prestressing
systems and construction requirements; connections and detailing;
and design concepts for prestressed concrete bridges. The topic of
serviceability is developed extensively throughout. All the authors
have been researching and teaching the behaviour and design of
prestressed concrete structures for over thirty-five years and the
proposed new edition of the book reflects this wealth of
experience. The work has also gained much from Professor Gilbert
active and long-time involvement in the development of standards
for concrete buildings and concrete bridges.
