Details: 🏗️ About the Book
Prestressed Concrete is a comprehensive book on the design, analysis, and application of prestressed concrete in construction.

The book is structured to guide readers through both theoretical and practical dimensions of prestressed concrete, making it suitable for students, practicing engineers, and professionals in the construction industry.

The basic concepts of the philosophy of limit state design adopted universally in structural design are incorporated in the design examples. Most chapters have been updated with the changes required in design computations involving the limit states of strength and serviceability.

🌟 Salient Features
• Covers syllabi of major universities and aligns with AICTE model curriculum
• Limit state philosophy of design is followed for all examples
• Comprehensive coverage on prestressed concrete bridges
• Applications of prestressed concrete in the precast concrete industry are covered
• Compilation of prominent prestressed concrete structures around the world
