Prestressed Concrete Design to Eurocodes

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Eurocodes have necessitated a new approach to the design of prestressed concrete structures and this book provides a comprehensive practical guide for professionals through each stage of the design process. Each chapter is fully consistent with Eurocode 2, and the associated parts of Eurocodes 1 and 8 and focuses on a specific aspect of design. The chapters provide: * examples of challenges often encountered in professional practice worked through in full * detailed coverage of post-tensioned structures * extensive coverage of design of flat slabs using the finite element method * examples of pre-tensioned and post-tensioned bridge design * an introduction to earthquake resistant design using EC 8. Examining the design of whole structures through many fully worked numerical examples and allowing the reader to follow each step of the design calculations, this book will be of great interest to practising engineers who need to become more familiar with the use of the Eurocodes and university students with an interest in the practical design of whole structures.
