This book gathers the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of building design and construction, by focusing on new design solutions for buildings and new technologies creation for construction, as presented by researchers and engineers at the 3rd International Conference Building Innovations (ICBI), held in Poltava – Baku, Ukraine – Azerbaijan, on June 1-2, 2020. It covers highly diverse topics, including structures operation, repairing and thermal modernization in existing buildings and urban planning features, machines and mechanisms for construction, as well as efficient economy and energy conservation issues in construction. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, highlight numerous exciting ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaborations.

Prestressed concrete is widely used in the construction industry in buildings, bridges, and other structures. The new edition of this book provides up-to-date guidance on the detailed design of prestressed concrete structures according to the provisions of the latest preliminary version of Eurocode 2: Design of Concrete Structures, DD ENV 1992-1-1: 1992. The emphasis throughout is on design - the problem of providing a structure to fulfil a given purpose - but fundamental concepts are also described in detail. All major topics are dealt with, including prestressed flat slabs, an important and growing application in the design of buildings. The text is illustrated throughout with worked examples and problems for further study. Examples are given of computer spreadsheets for typical design calculations. Prestressed Concrete Design will be a valuable guide to practising engineers, students and research workers.

Unter "bewehrtem Beton" versteht man eine Kombination von Beton mit anderen, verstärkenden Materialien (meist Stahl). Aus Stahlbetonplatten werden nicht nur Häuser gebaut, sondern auch Straßen und Mauern. Bauingenieure müssen die Merkmale und Einsatzfelder dieser Werkstoffe kennen und Belastungsgrenzen abschätzen. Dieses Buch, das einzige seiner Art, dient Praktikern und Studenten der Bautechnik als kompetenter Begleiter. (01/00)

These recommendations present a guide to the design of two-way spanning, post-tensioned concrete flat slabs using unbonded or bonded tendons. Recommendations purely related to the use of unbonded tendons are clearly marked. These recommendations are intended only for the design of post-tensioned flat slabs in buildings and do not include the use in bridges. Post-tensioned concrete construction can be defined as unbonded or bonded, depending on whether the tendon ducts are filled with a cement grout (in order to provide a bonded structure) or whether the tendons are suitably coated and wrapped or greased and plastic covered (unbonded). While in a number of countries, (e.g., United States and Canada) economic and construction considerations have resulted in the selection of unbonded tendons, in other countries the use of the traditional bonded tendons is favoured, (e.g., Australia). Some of the advantages claimed for the use of unbonded tendons can be summarized as follows: Extremely low friction values, tendons are fully protected against corrosion during construction, maximum possible tendon drape due to the small diameter of the tendon; this is of major importance in slender structures such as flat plates, simple and fast placement of the tendons, avoidance of grouting operations. When tendons are grouted after stressing the claimed advantages are particularly that the bond between the concrete structure and the tendons increases the ultimate strength and less reliance is placed on the long-term adequacy of the anchorage.

The book combines history with academic notes for use at the university level, presenting design examples from actual jobs with applications and detailing for the practicing engineer. Chapter 1 tells the history of post-tensioned concrete as only Ken Bondy can tell it. Chapters 2-8 are the notes Dirk Bondy uses to teach Design of Prestressed Concrete Structures at UCLA and Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo. Chapters 9-13 are design examples that address many of the decisions faced by practicing engineers on typical projects. Chapters 13-14 cover the art of detailing and observing the construction of post-tensioned concrete. This knowledge was obtained over many years of working on our own projects and listening and learning from the the pioneers of post-tensioned concrete. Chapter 15 covers the slab on grade industry, which represents more sales of post-tensioning tendons than all other post-tensioning applications combined. Chapter 16 discusses the challenging application of post-tensioning-external 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 concret
