Publisher's Synopsis
This revised textbook discusses the behaviour, analysis and design of prestressed concrete structures. Changes in the new edition include an emphasis on partially prestressed concrete members, flexural strength calculations, deflection calculations, crack width calculations, and information on high strength materials. The author develops an understanding of design methods used in practice and familiarity with the important provisions of the governing l983 Building Code of the American Concrete Institute. Balance of theory and practice provides a clear survey of design principles, and problems at the end of every chapter illustrate concepts.
