Title overview
Prestressed Concrete (Pearson Original Edition) provides a comprehensive guide to the analysis and design of prestressed concrete structures for civil and structural engineering students and professionals.
Aligned with the Australian Standard for Concrete Structures (AS 3600), including the 2018 revision and Amendment 2 (2021), this edition reflects critical updates to design practice. These include changes to flexural strength calculations, revised shear and torsion design provisions, and updated ultimate strength safety coefficients, supporting more accurate and current structural design approaches.
The text is structured to build a strong conceptual foundation before progressing into applied design and analysis. It covers key topics such as:
- Material properties and structural behaviour of prestressed concrete
- Methods of analysis and design
- Flexural performance before and after cracking
- Structural design for shear, torsion, and anchorage
- Effects of prestress losses, creep, and shrinkage
- Design of structural systems including beams, continuous beams, and slab systems
Designed to support both learning and professional application, this title helps students develop the technical skills and confidence required to undertake prestressed concrete design in real-world engineering contexts.
