Prestressed Concrete (5th Edition) – eBook

The prime purpose of this new Prestressed Concrete, 5th Edition (PDF) is to take account of important changes made in the new edition of the Australian Standard for Concrete Structures, which appeared in 2018, and Amendment 2 in 2021. Changes include modifications to the rectangular stress-block parameters for flexural strength calculations, modifications to the design clauses for shear and torsion, and changes in the safety coefficients for ultimate strength design which result in a slight reduction in the overall safety margins for design.

Prestressed Concrete

The contents of the ebook have been extensively revised, updated, and rewritten to take account of the many developments in theory and practice that have occurred in the intervening years since the second edition. The treatment of creep and shrinkage effects in prestressed concrete flexural members, in Chapters 4 and 5 and Appendix B, has been simplified by using an approach that is based on the fundamental structural concepts of equilibrium, compatibility, and elastic behaviour. The use of more complex visco-elastic analyses has thus been avoided. A greater emphasis has been placed on strut-and-tie modelling in Chapters 7 and 8 to deal with shear, torsion, and anchorage. This reflects recent developments in our knowledge and understanding of this important design tool.  The full text is downloaded to your computer With eBooks you can: search for key concepts, words, and phrases make highlights and notes as you study share your notes with friends eBooks are downloaded to your computer and accessible either offline through the Bookshelf, available online and also via the iPad and Android apps.
