ISBN: 9780977875207

This manual contains updated information on the current practices in the use, design, and construction of post- tensioning. The 6th Edition has been extensively rewritten and expanded from the 5th Edition. The Manual contains 12 new chapters that give design guidance on modern applications of post-tensioning. All of the original chapters have been totally revised and modified to reflect the current industry practices. New topics include Seismic Design, Post-Tensioned Concrete Floors, Parking Structures, Slab-on-Ground, Bridges, Stay Cables, Storage Structures, Barrier Cables, Dynamic and Fatigue, Durability, Inspection and Maintenance, and Field and Plant Certification. The Manual provides the industry standard for design and construction of post-tensioned structures. This book is an invaluable resource for practicing engineers, architects, students, educators, contractors, inspectors, and building officials. The 6th Edition of the Post-Tensioning Manual provides basic information and the essential principles of post-tensioning.

The design of structures in general, and prestressed concrete structures in particular, requires considerably more information than is contained in building codes. A sound understanding of structural behaviour at all stages of loading is essential. This textbook presents a detailed description and explanation of the behaviour of prestressed concrete members and structures both at service loads and at ultimate loads and, in doing so, provide a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to structural design. Much of the text is based on first principles and relies only on the principles of mechanics and the properties of concrete and steel, with numerous worked examples. However, where the design requirements are code specific, this book refers to the provisions of Eurocode 2: Design of Concrete Structures and, where possible, the notation is the same as in Eurocode 2. A parallel volume is written to the Australian Standard for Concrete Structures AS3600-2009. The text runs from an introduction to the fundamentals to in-depth treatments of more advanced topics in modern prestressed concrete structures. It suits senior undergraduate and graduate students and also practising engineers who want comprehensive introduction to the design of prestressed concrete structures. It retains the clear and concise explanations and the easy-to-read style of the first edition, but the content has been extensively re-organised and considerably expanded and updated. New chapters cover design procedures, actions and loads; prestressing systems and construction requirements; connections and detailing; and design concepts for prestressed concrete bridges. The topic of serviceability is developed extensively throughout. All the authors have been researching and teaching the behaviour and design of prestressed concrete structures for over thirty-five years and the proposed new edition of the book reflects this wealth of experience. The work has also gained much from Professor Gilbert active and long-time involvement in the development of standards for concrete buildings and concrete bridges.

High strength fibre composites (FRPs) have been used with civil structures since the 1980s, mostly in the repair, strengthening and retrofitting of concrete structures. This has attracted considerable research, and the industry has expanded exponentially in the last decade. Design guidelines have been developed by professional organizations in a nu
