Design of Prestressed Concrete StructuresWiley, 1981 M06 30 - 646 pages Presents basic theory of prestressed concrete along with the load balancing, working-load and ultimate-load methods for prestressed concrete design. Material revised in light of substantial advances in the field includes: materials, prestressing systems, loss of prestress, shear and bond, camber and deflection. Design examples based on the 1977 ACI Code with its latest revisions. Appendix contains selected problems. |
