Design of Prestressed Concrete Structures covers the fundamental theory, behavior (service & ultimate loads), and practical design methods for both fully and partially prestressed members, integrating principles with major building codes (like ACI, Eurocodes) and using worked examples for clarity, focusing on core concepts like material properties, loss of prestress, deflection, and crack control.
This edition presents the basic theory in prestressed concrete similar to the second edition. The method of load balancing is discussed side by side with the working-load and the ultimate-load methods, forming a tripod for prestressed concrete design
