Synopsis

Prestressed concrete is now widely used in the construction industry in buildings, bridges, and many other civil engineering structures. The purpose of this book is to explain the fundamental principles of design for prestressed concrete structures, according to the provisions of BS 8110: 1985 Code of Practice for the structural use of concrete. Although the emphasis is on design, the problem of providing a structure to fulfil a given purpose, fundamental concepts are also covered in detail. All major topics are dealt with, including prestressed flat slabs, an important and growing application. The text is illustrated throughout with worked examples and also included are three full designs representing typical applications of prestressed concrete.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Prestressed concrete is widely used in the construction industry in buildings, bridges, and other structures. The new edition of this book provides up-to-date guidance on the detailed design of prestressed concrete structures according to the provisions of the latest preliminary version of Eurocode 2: Design of Concrete Structures, DD ENV 1992-1-1: 1992. The emphasis throughout is on design - the problem of providing a structure to fulfil a given purpose - but fundamental concepts are also described in detail. All major topics are dealt with, including prestressed flat slabs, an important and growing application in the design of buildings. The text is illustrated throughout with worked examples and problems for further study. Examples are given of computer spreadsheets for typical design calculations. Prestressed Concrete Design will be a valuable guide to practising engineers, students and research workers.
