The 5th edition of Prestressed Concrete: A Fundamental Approach has been completely revised to reflect the new ACI 318-05 Building Code and International Building Code, IBC 2003. This popular text offers a unique approach to examining the design of prestressed concrete members and provides information in a logical, step-by-step trial and adjustment procedure. The book uses clear, systematic thinking, and handy flow charts that enable students to better understand the steps needed for design and analysis. Topics covered in this book include material behavior, prestress losses, flexure, shear, torsion, and deflection-camber. The information is sequentially self-contained and can be covered in one semester at the senior and graduate levels. 984 pp
