Publisher's Synopsis
Much of this 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. It retains the clear and concise explanations and the easy-to-read style of the first edition, but the content has been expanded considerably and updated. The scope of the work ranges from an introduction to the fundamentals of prestressed concrete to in-depth treatments of the more advanced topics in modern prestressed concrete structures.
