N2  - Infrastructure development in the country has gained momentum. In situ construction of structures like buildings, bridges, flyovers, etc., are becoming difficult due to the ever increasing traffic congestion, dearth of space to store the construction materials and paucity of time. One possible solution can be prestressing. Pretensioning helps in erecting precast members. Post-tensioning results in lighter and shallower members and faster de-shuttering. Besides, prestressing is logical and comes as a natural consequence of the strength of materials. This book is intended to be used as a textbook by the beginners in Structural Engineering. The book comprises of 15 chapters covering all the important topics related to prestressed concrete. It covers theory, analysis and design of prestressed concrete structural elements such as beams, slabs, pipes, tanks, piles, poles, etc. The contents are prepared using latest codes of various countries. The book is intended for students of B.E./B.Tech.(Civil Engineering) and M.E.(Structural Engineering), practising professionals and candidates preparing for competitive examinations. Probable questions and unsolved design problems are provided at the end of the chapter. The book is prepared in a simplified manner with figures wherever necessary for better understanding. --Back cover of the book
