About the Book

Prestressed Concrete Structures, 7th Edition is a comprehensive guide designed for civil engineering students and practicing engineers. With over 25 years of teaching experience at IIT Kanpur, the author offers a detailed explanation of the three basic methods of design: Working Stress Design (WSD), Limit State Design (LSD), and Ultimate Strength Design (USD), with a focus on the latest and most widely adopted Limit State Design (LSD) method.

Key features of the book:

• Extensive coverage of full and partial prestress designs based on the latest codes of practice

• Detailed design examples for beams, ties, columns, slabs, shells, and bridges

• Cost analysis of materials and formwork

• Objective questions and design aids provided in appendices

• Practical examples of design for small to long span beams, water tanks, folded plates, and more

The book serves as both a textbook for students and a valuable guide for engineers looking for rational solutions and practical applications in prestressed concrete design.
