Description
Prestressed Concrete provides a comprehensive coverage of the theoretical and practical aspects of the subject and includes the latest developments in the field of prestressed concrete construction. It incorporates the latest Indian Standard specifications and codes regulating prestressed concrete construction.
The book introduces the properties of the materials and prestressing systems used in the PSC construction. Topics discussed on analysis of PSC sections for flexure, deflection, shear and torsion. In addition to this, analysis and design of various prestress concrete elements such as continuous beams, composite sections, one way slabs, two way slabs, flat slabs, grid floors, compression members, tension members, pipes, piles and tanks are discussed. Analysis and design of various PSC structures such as bridges, sleepers, pavements and poles are also covered.
Construction techniques are well illustrated through numerous figures and a number of illustrative examples. Objective questions illustrated are quite useful for those appearing for competative examinations. The content of this book serve the needs of both students and professionals.
