Preface 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.
The first edition of the book was published over 25 years ago, so a comprehensive update and revision is long overdue. This edition contains the most up-to-date and recent advances in the design of modern prestressed concrete structures, as well as the fundamental aspects of prestressed concrete behaviour and design that were well received in the first edition. The text is written for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students of civil and structural engineering and also for practising structural engineers. It retains the clear and concise explanations and the easy-to-read style of the first edition.
Between them, the authors have almost 100 years of experience in the teaching, research and design of prestressed concrete structures, and this book reflects this wealth of experience. The scope of the work ranges from an introduction to the fundamentals of prestressed concrete to in-depth treatments of the more advanced topics in modern prestressed concrete structures. The basic concepts of prestressed concrete are introduced in Chapter 1, and the limit states design philosophies used in European practice are outlined in Chapter 2. The hardware required to pretension and post-tension concrete structures is introduced in Chapter 3, including some construction considerations. Material properties relevant to design are presented and discussed in Chapter 4. A comprehensive treatment of the design of prestressed concrete beams for serviceability is provided in Chapter 5. The instantaneous and time-dependent behaviour of cross-sections under service loads are discussed in considerable detail, and methods for the analysis of both uncracked and cracked cross-sections are considered. Techniques for determining the section size, the magnitude and eccentricity of prestress, the losses of prestress and the deflection of members are outlined. Each aspect of design is illustrated by numerical examples.
