Overview:

Prestressed Concrete is a comprehensive book on the design, analysis, and application of prestressed concrete in construction. The book is structured to guide readers through both theoretical and practical dimensions of prestressed concrete, making it suitable for students, practicing engineers, and professionals in the construction industry. The basic concepts of the philosophy of limit state design adopted universally in structural design is incorporated in the design examples. Most of the chapters are updated with appropriate changes required in the design computations involving the limit states of strength and serviceability.


Key Features:

- Covers syllabi of major universities and aligns with AICTE model curriculum 
- Limit state philosophy of design is followed for all examples 
- Comprehensive coverage on prestressed concrete bridges 
- Applications of prestressed concrete in precast concrete industry are covered in the text 
- Prominent prestressed concrete structures around the world are compiled
