Retaining the clear and concise explanations and the easy-to-read style of the first edition, this book builds on the principles of mechanics and the properties of concrete and steel, with numerous worked examples. The scope of the work ranges from an introduction to the fundamentals of prestressed concrete to in-depth treatments of the more advanced topics in modern prestressed concrete structures. Where the design requirements are code specific, the book refers to the provisions of the Australian Standard for Concrete Structures (AS3600-2009).
