This new edition of Prestressed Concrete, 5th Edition (PDF) has been updated to incorporate the important changes made in the Australian Standard for Concrete Structures. These changes were introduced in 2018, with Amendment 2 in 2021. The modifications include adjustments to the rectangular stress-block parameters for flexural strength calculations, changes to the design clauses for shear and torsion, and modifications to the safety coefficients for ultimate strength design, resulting in a slight reduction in overall safety margins for design.
Prestressed Concrete
The content of this ebook has been extensively revised, updated, and rewritten to reflect the advancements in theory and practice that have occurred since the second edition. The treatment of Aussie creep and shrinkage effects in prestressed concrete flexural members has been simplified by adopting an approach based on the fundamental concepts of equilibrium, compatibility, and elastic behavior. This eliminates the need for more complex visco-elastic analyses. Additionally, there is a greater emphasis on the use of strut-and-tie modeling to address shear, torsion, and anchorage in Chapters 7 and 8. This emphasis aligns with recent advancements in knowledge and understanding of this important design tool. You can download the full text of the ebook to your computer.
