Prestressed Concrete Designer's Handbook

Prestressed Concrete Designer's Handbook offers structural designers comprehensive guidance on prestressed concrete and its effective application. The handbook outlines essential materials, structural behavior, and fundamental principles governing the analysis and design of prestressed elements.

The volume investigates the behavior of prestressed concrete beams, available types of prestressing steel, and primary criteria for analysis and design. It also explains analytical methods for determining losses of prestressing force and evaluating stresses within structural members.

To assist practical calculations and design implementation, the reference incorporates numerous examples, dedicated design charts, and technical details regarding post-tensioning systems.
