Prestressed Concrete – Analysis and Design Practice of Members

Prestressed concrete is a method for overcoming concrete's natural weakness in tension. It can be used to produce beams, floors or bridges with a longer span than is practical with ordinary reinforced concrete. This book addresses an overall approach by presenting the design and analysis processes of prestressed concrete members comprehensively. The structural components are analyzed and designed to conform with the requirement and standards (Eurocodes) followed all across the world. The book is intended as a reference for the undergraduate students of Civil and Structural Engineering.
