Design of Prestressed Concrete to Eurocode 2

For the design of prestressed concrete structures, a sound understanding of structural behaviour at all stages of loading is essential. Also essential is a thorough knowledge of the design criteria specified in the relevant design standard, including the rules and requirements and the background to them. The aim of this book is to present a detailed description and explanation of the behaviour of prestressed concrete members and structures both at service loads and at ultimate loads and, in doing so, provide a comprehensive guide to structural design. Much of the text is based on first principles and relies only on the principles of mechanics and the properties of concrete and steel, with numerous worked examples. Where the design requirements are code specific, this book refers to the provisions of Eurocode 2 (EN 1992–1–1:2004) and other relevant EN Standards, and, where possible, the notation is the same as in the Eurocode. A companion edition in accordance with the requirements of the Australian Standard for Concrete Structures AS 3600–2009 is also available, with the same notation as in the Australian Standard.
