Prestressed Concrete Design

Prestressed Concrete Design Image
2nd Edition
Prestressed concrete is widely used in the construction industry in buildings, bridges, and other structures. The new edition of this book provides up-to-date guidance on the detailed design of prestressed concrete structures according to the provisions of the latest preliminary version of Eurocode 2: Design of Concrete Structures, DD ENV 1992-1-1: 1992. The emphasis throughout is on design - the problem of providing a structure to fulfil a given purpose - but fundamental concepts are also described in detail. All major topics are dealt with, including prestressed flat slabs, an important and growing application in the design of buildings. The text is ...

FRP Composites for Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures

A Guide to Fundamentals and Design for Repair and Retrofit
FRP Composites for Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures Image
High strength fibre composites (FRPs) have been used with civil structures since the 1980s, mostly in the repair, strengthening and retrofitting of concrete structures. This has attracted considerable research, and the industry has expanded exponentially in the last decade. Design guidelines have been developed by professional organizations in a number of countries including USA, Japan, Europe and China, but until now designers have had no publication which provides practical guidance or accessible coverage of the fundamentals. This book fills this void. It deals with the fundamentals of composites, and basic design principles, and provides step-by-step guidelines for design. Its main theme is the repair and retrofit of un-reinforced, reinforced an...

The Design of Prestressed Concrete Bridges

Concepts and Principles
The Design of Prestressed Concrete Bridges Image
Examining the fundamental differences between design and analysis, Robert Benaim explores the close relationship between aesthetic and technical creativity and the importance of the intuitive, more imaginative qualities of design that every designer should employ when designing a structure. Aiding designers of concrete bridges in developing an intuitive understanding of structural action, this book encourages innovation and the development of engineering architecture. Simple, relevant calculation techniques that should precede any detailed analysis are summarized. Construction methods used to build concrete bridge decks and substructures are detailed and direct guidance on the choice and the sizing of different types of concrete bridge deck is given...

Fundamentals
Prestressed Concrete Analysis and Design Image
2nd Edition
This book is written for advanced students and professionals. It is means as a trorough teaching text, as well as a reference tool for practicing engineers and researchers. It emphasizes the fundamental concepts of analysis and desing of prestressed concrete structures and provides students a sufficiently strong basis for handling everyday design problems, and the tackling of the more complex problems with confidence. A particular effort is made troughout to syntesize and condense the essential information and to give an overview of the directions in which the design is proceeding. Self-sufficient logical design flow charts summarizing the step-by-step...
