Prestressed concrete is the most recent of the major forms of construction to be introduced into structural engineering. Although several patents were taken out in the last century for various prestressing schemes, they were unsuccessful because low-strength steel was used, with the result that long-term effects of creep and shrinkage of the concrete reduced the prestress force  so much that any advantage was lost. It was only in the early part of the twentieth  century that the French engineer Eugène Freyssinet approached the problem in a systematic way and, using high-strength steel, first applied the technique  of prestressing concrete  successfully.  Since  then prestressed concrete has become a well-established method of construction, and the technology is available in most developed, and in many developing, countries. An account of some of the early developments in prestressed concrete is given in Walley (1984).

Overview of the Book


An overall view of the behaviour of prestressed concrete structures is given in  Chapter 1.  Chapter 2 deals with material properties, while limit state design is  outlined in  Chapter 3. The detailed considerations  in the analysis and design of  statically determinate prestressed concrete structures are dealt with in Chapters 4–10.  Chapter 11 gives an introduction to statically  indeterminate prestressed concrete  structures and  Chapter 12 outlines the design principles for the most important application of such structures in buildings, namely flat slabs, based on the provisions  of TR43. Finally, Chapter 13 contains the computer spreadsheets noted above.   Problems are given at the ends of many of the chapters for further exercise. For  rapid solution, some of these require the  use of simple structural analysis or spreadsheet computer programs, which are widely available.
