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 design procedure and containing all necessary iterative tryout encountered in the design process, and are essential when programmable calculators and computers are used. Important formulas and equations are also condensed in tables for ready use. To provide a correlation with reinforced concrete design and to help engineers alreadt familiar with reinforced concrete, the case or partially prestressed concrete is often addressed.
