Design of Prestressed Concrete to Eurocode 2 cover

This comprehensive guide, Design of Prestressed Concrete to Eurocode 2, explores both fundamental principles and advanced design topics, making it suitable for students and professionals alike.

This second edition of Design of Prestressed Concrete to Eurocode 2 maintains the book's clear and concise explanations along with its easy-to-read style. It begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of prestressed concrete and progresses to a thorough examination of more advanced topics. The text specifically references Eurocode 2: Design of Concrete Structures when discussing code-specific standards, ensuring relevance and accuracy in the context of contemporary design practices.

The design of structures, particularly prestressed concrete ones, necessitates a wealth of information beyond what is typically found in building codes. A solid grasp of structural behavior throughout various loading stages is crucial. This textbook offers a detailed exploration of the behavior of prestressed concrete members and structures under both service loads and ultimate loads, thereby serving as a comprehensive and current guide to structural design.

Grounded in first principles, the content relies on the fundamentals of mechanics and the characteristics of concrete and steel, complemented by numerous worked examples. Where design requirements align with code specifications, Design of Prestressed Concrete to Eurocode 2 utilizes the provisions of Eurocode 2 and mirrors its notation. The text caters to senior undergraduate and graduate students, as well as practicing engineers seeking a thorough introduction to the design of prestressed concrete structures. The new edition has been significantly reorganized and expanded, with added chapters covering critical design procedures, actions, loads, prestressing systems, and serviceability considerations.

"This book provides a comprehensive in-depth coverage of all aspects of analysis and design for both students and practising engineers. Explanations of structural behaviour and design concepts are given in terms that are easy to follow and understand. Requirements and application of Eurocode are fully explained and illustrated by worked examples."

-- Tony Threlfall, Consultant, UK

"It is a first rate book which should be useful to both Masters Level students and practitioners. The book is very clearly written and structured. The emphasis on providing clear explanations of physical behavior is particularly appealing."

-- Robert Vollum, Imperial College London

"The book is organized in a logical sequence from simply support beam to continuous beam and then two way slabs, from basic principles to more complicate analysis such as long term creep and shrinkage effect and cracking."

-- Neil Tsang, Coventry University, UK

"There are many diagrams and worked examples, the second edition benefiting from a clearer layout and some photographs, the first having only diagrams. It refers to provisions of Eurocode 2 (EN 1992-1-1:2004) and other relevant EN Standards where the design requirements are Code specific."
